This file is mainly intended for users of GLoc v1.1.
For a full list of changes see the CHANGELOG file and believe me, there are MANY a
cool, new feature there!!
== API changes between GLoc 1.1 and GLoc 1.2
* l_strftime has had it argument ordcer reversed. It is now l_strftime(fmt,date)
instead of l_strftime(date,fmt)
* l_datetime_short() has been removed. Feel free to add as many date/time formats as you
like though. Use the new !!datetime_fmt directive. (See the sample app)
* Date/time formats no longer require double hash-symbols. ie. '%%A' is now just '%A'.
* Some localized strings used for Rails date/time helpers have been changed.
actionview_datehelper_select_*_prefix
has been renamed to
actionview_datehelper_select_*_suffix
== Design change
When I first created GLoc, I designed it so that language settings cascaded. So
you could have a global language setting, and you could set a certain controller
to have another certain language setting, and then setting the language in
instances of that controller would only effect that instance, etc etc. First of all,
not only did I find myself never actually needing that behaviour, but other users
also found it confusing. Many users would set the language in the controller and then
not understand why they would also need to explictly set the language of model instances
before running validation methods. Well this behaviour has been replaced by a simpler,
one-language-per-process model. In simple mode (which is now the default), there is only
one language setting and it is shared by all instances and classes. This means you will
now only need to call set_language() once-per-action.
If you want to enable the old cascading behaviour, you still can by calling
GLoc.set_language_mode(:cascading)
== Sample GLoc Application
To see the new functionality in action, it's best just to have a look at the new sample application.
Specially for the new stuff like !!datetime_fmt and !!sameas
