This means that you dont have to worry about casting it
as HTMLText again when using the result in a template or other context
However in some situations code might be assuming it can
check with is_string, in which case you now need to use instanceof HTMLText
RequestHandler#handleAction now exists. It takes the request, and
the action to call on itself. All calls from handleRequest to call an action
will go through this method
Controller#handleAction has had it's signature changed to
match new RequestHandler#handleAction
RequestHandler#findAction has been added, which extracts the
"match URL to rules to find action" portion of RequestHandler#handleRequest
into a separate, overrideable function
GridField#handleAction has beeen renamed to handleAlterAction and
CMSBatchActionHandler#handleAction has been renamed to handleBatchAction to
avoid name clash with new RequestHandler#handleAction
Reason for change: The exact behaviour of request handling depended heavily
on whether you inherited from RequestHandler or Controller, and whether the
rule extracted it's action directly (like "foo/$ID" => 'foo') or dynamically
(like "$Action/$ID" => "handleAction"). This cleans up behaviour so
all calls follow the same path through handleRequest and handleAction, and
the additional behaviour that Controller adds is clear.
The entire framework repo (with the exception of system-generated files) has been amended to respect the 120c line-length limit. This is in preparation for the enforcement of this rule with PHP_CodeSniffer.
Director::set_status_code(), Director::get_status_code() and
Director::redirected_to() are now deprecated. Use Controller->redirect(),
Controller->redirectBack(), Controller->getResponse()->setStatusCode(),
Controller->getResponse()->getStatusCode() and
Controller->redirectedTo() respectively.
API CHANGE: Move Controller::PastMember() to Member::is_repeat_member() in code.
API CHANGE: Removed Controller::CurrentMember(), it was only ever intended as a template global provider.
API CHANGE: Add DataList::newObject(), which creates a new object on that DataList.
API CHANGE: RequestHandler::handleRequest() now needs to handle a $model argument, if you override it.
