1.x release notes

1.1.3.RELEASE

Maintenance release containing several bugfixes.

1.1.2.RELEASE

Across Core

Across now requires JDK8 and has improved support for Spring Boot. The latter is also a required dependency as of 1.1.2. A lot of improvements have been done to reduce the amount of boilerplate code necessary to create a new AcrossContext.

@EnableAcrossContext annotation now supports auto-configuration of an AcrossContext
@ModuleConfiguration annotation provides a no-hassle way to declare annotated classes that need to be added to a specific module
message sources are now auto detected if they follow the conventions
both AcrossModule and ModuleBootstrapConfig now have shortcut expose() methods that make it easier to expose additional beans
several changes and improvements were made to installers:
- installers are now created in their own configurable installer ApplicationContext
- installers are detected automatically through classpath scanning (defaults to installers package of a module)
- installers are ordered based on the presence of an @Order annotation
- installers now support @Conditional annotations for building more complex conditions
- installers should only be specified as class names in getInstallers(), the use of instances is deprecated
- InstallerSettings has been refactored to use InstallerMetaData instead (breaking change)
- installers can implement InstallerActionResolver directly to suppress execution at runtime
- AcrossInstallerRepository now has methods to rename installers
- AcrossLiquibaseInstaller detects the most appropriate SchemaConfiguration to use and modifies default schema accordingly
development mode can be set through the property across.development.active and is active by default if a Spring profile called dev is active

Across Web

@AcrossApplication can be used with SpringApplication to bootstrap an Across context with dynamic modules and support for embedded servlet containers
async configuration can now correctly be set through WebMvcConfigurer#configureAsyncSupport(AsyncSupportConfigurer)
AcrossWebModuleSettings has been refactored and AcrossWebModule can now be configured through properties
- properties support Spring configuration metadata with possible IDE support
by default only Thymeleaf views support is activated (breaking change)
static resources now configure default client-side caching and resource url versioning
dynamic registration of servlets and filters now supports ordering
Default HTTP encoding is now forced to UTF-8

Across Test

Several improvements have been done for easier integration testing of modules in a web context.

test context builders have been added for easy configuration of an AcrossContext in test methods
MockAcrossServletContext can now be used for testing of dynamic ServletContext configuration
addition of a AcrossMockMvcBuilders class for creating a MockMvcBuilder based on an AcrossContext
- both annotations and test builders now provide a singleton MockMvc instance that is initialized with the bootstrapped context and all dynamically registered filters

1.1.1.RELEASE

Initial public release available on Maven central.
