Mojito Release 0.5.0pr2

This is a special preview release of Mojito 0.5.0. It incorporates some significant re-architecting for performance. There are a few significant backwards-compatibility breaking changes, details below.

None of the NPM tags have changed. If you want to try this version, you need to ask for version 0.5.0pr2 explicitly.

!!! NOTE !!! This release DOES NOT pass our functional tests. This started as a rough prototype, and we're slowly cleaning it up.

Backwards Compatibility Changes

1. index.js and server.js requires changes

!!! NOTE !!! This release requires changes to any application's index.js file and server.js file to properly launch. The templates in mojito/lib/app/archetypes/app/default for index.js and server.js are the appropriate content to use in any existing applications. For new applications these files are automatically used when the 'mojito create app' command is invoked to create a new application.

2. ac.app.* is not longer available

For performance reasons, to avoid computing app config per mojit instance, per request, when the majority of the time it is not needed, we completed the transition to mojito-config-addon addon. This change affects ac.app.*, specifically, ac.app.config which was commonly used to access the computed application.json configuration per context. If you need to access the application config in an action or another addon, you should:

• require mojito-config-addon in the controller.
• use ac.config.getAppConfig() to get the the former ac.app.config

2. Unified logger

In previous version, the console log was separated for client and server, and between mojito and YUI. We decided to leverage YUI Logger, and unify this setting under a single configuration, actually the YUI configuration:

    "log": {
        "client": {
            "level": "error",
            "yui": false
        },
        "server": {
            "level": "error",
            "yui": false
        }
    }

is now:

    "yui": {
        "config": {
            "debug": false
        }
    }
