4.3.1

Released 7/5/21

4.2.1

Released 5/7/20

• Add MariaDB support.
• Add notify support for showing notifications to end users, such as a save being successful. This is done with req.notify('some message') which defaults to a level of ok or success, if there is an error req.notify(new Error('some Error')) sending an error object will automatically set a level of 'error' or failure. Lastly, custom levels support is done through class names such as:

class MyWarning extends Error {}
req.notify(new MyWarning('something is broken'))

NOTE: Sessions must be enabled for notifications to be saved. In order to show notifications they are made available through the req.locals._session._notify variable. Here is a template example:

{{#_notify}}<div class="notify notify-{{level}">{{message}}</div>{{/_notify}}

4.0.1

Released 2/20/2020

• Fix the PathExp system to properly handle matching against multiple inputs.

4.0.0

Released 2/20/2020

• BREAKING CHANGES, not compatible with Kado 3.x out of the box, see https://kado.org/content/upgrading-4.x for more.
• No interfaces a provided by default.
• No frameworks are provided by default.
• Interface startup is now handled in user space.
• Redesign startup API this means exposing more of the interface start process into user space so that the application itself can define routes etc from the ground up, drop the default modules and move them into a kado-ui pack that comes with an admin panel and simple content management and blog publishing. This should help drop the weight of the core down but more importantly give Kado the true building block feel it should have came with all along. This will also allow Kado to come with even less packages and continue to provide the same consistent working environment. So what does this mean?
• Expose interface startup through a kado.js file in the application the same way modules are handled.
• Remove the default modules other than the kado module. This will remove the addons that must be built and make installation more global along with giving the user more choices over how to build the application.
• Continue to abstract from actually being a web engine and focus on being a programming organization engine. We didnt quite know or understand this at the beginning, however Kado is more about organizing code.
• Write upgrade documentation on conversion from Kado 3.x to Kado 4.x which will mostly involve adding to a kado.js within the application to restore default routing functionality.
• No longer start two interfaces by default, move to a single interface model. Using two interfaces just served to complicate all matters, using a single interface with enhanced routing makes the most sense. In instances where the panels need to be split in however many places this can be done by simply, starting multiple instances and using webserver rules to deny or allow urls.

3.10.6

Released 2/12/2020

• This is the more than likely the last release before Kado 4.0 is released.
• A warning is due now that Kado 4 will be complete incompatible with Kado 3 as Kado 4.0 fully realizes ES6. For the future, Kado 3 will continue to be maintained within the same repository as Kado 4 in a separate branch. However due to limitations on NPM, Kado 3 versions will be released as the kado-legacy package.
• A further warning that Kado 4 will be changing from an MIT license to Lesser GPL Version 3+ please plan accordingly!

3.9.6

Released 11/10/2019

• Update to the latest dependencies and change help handling on CLI scripts for modules and generation template.

3.9.5

Released 10/12/2019

• The environment variable BUNDLE can now be set to false to disable the auto bundling system when in development mode.

3.9.4

Released 10/12/2019

• Fix two small bugs in the Asset management system.

3.9.3

Released 10/11/2019

• Change the default content module to include the _pageTitle on static definitions, to match the behavior of content from the database.
• Update to latest dependencies.

3.9.2

Released 9/26/2019

• node app kado dbreload no longer utilizes the system level mysqldump and has internal tools to backup, dump and apply the dump to the database. This ensures the tool works on all platforms.

3.9.1

Released 9/25/2019

• Adds new utility command node app kado dbreload this is a macro command that will dump the data from your current database and then back it up. Afterwards it will perform a forced sequelize sync and finally re-apply the dumped data. This is useful for database changes when products are pre-release and the data set is not a priority. For production instances using sequelize migrations is highly recommended.

3.9.0

Released 9/25/2019

• Content system now reads configuration for static content object which contains {'uri': {templateFile: 'foo.html'}}. This allows applications to have static content, for terms of service, policy pages, etc. It also allows these pages to exist outside of the database, if they are intended to come with the project at the beginning this makes much more sense.
• Update to latest dependencies.

3.8.6

Released 8/17/2019

• Add Select All and Deselect All buttons to table buttons
• Update to latest dependencies.

3.8.5

• Dev activation now fully forces Kado dev mode on when using the CLI parameter.

3.8.1

Released 4/18/2019

• Fix path selection for bundling in app context.

3.8.0

Released 4/18/2019

• More refined local entry points.
• Refinement of Webpack integration to solve dependency restrictions and find a balance of loading and splitting. The system now creates:
• main.js - Global elements loaded in the head tag, keep this small.
• bundle.js - Loaded at the end of the page containing additional deps.
• deferred.js - Loaded deferred after the bundle, extraneous dep free code.

Routes that need one off scripts will load them deferred, conditional modules need to be loaded sync and then the enumerating scripts shall be deferred. This removes the idea of required, extra, module, moduleExtra, local, localExtra and compresses the build chains. Webpack is compressed into a single config chain per interface. The bundle system now handles configuring and running Webpack. Finally, Kado now supports applications overriding the Webpack configuration in order to make the build chain fully customizable.

3.7.15

Released 4/18/2019

• Adjust webpack to expose jquery globally. This is temporary as the build chain is refined. There will be a major build system overhaul in 3.8 to address the complexity of the build chains and webpack configuration files.

Released 4/18/2019

• Hot fix: build chain should not use production method unless asked.

3.7.13

Released 4/18/2019

• Automatically sets environment variables using dotenv package, and using node app dev will set DEV=kado automatically.
• When in dev mode Kado will now automatically bundle the local and module chains using node app kado bundle -l -m
• Moves init logging into the debug package under kado*

3.7.12

Released 4/18/2019

• Change bundle system to allow multiple chains at the same time such as node app kado bundle -l -s -m which is equivalent of node app kado bundle
• Latest dependencies.

3.7.11

Released 4/15/2019

• Fix npm complaint about acorn module (for some reason acorn-dynamic-import@4.0.0 did not properly pull it as a dep?)
• Fix npm trying to update babel-loader too far (v8.x.x does not work, but apparently satisfies babel-loader@^7.1.5)

3.7.10

3.7.7

Released 4/11/2019

• Fix local build suites to output to the system entry folder.
• local.js and localExtra.js were not using the properly build module list.
• Break build into system, module local chains with sync and extra packs.
• Add ability to filter bundling by -s for system or -m for module.
• Enable source maps in bundles by default.
• Add -q to do quick builds of local only and then -N to skip building source maps. See node app kado bundle --help for more information.

3.7.6

Released 4/11/2019

• Adding assets on page routes did not clear on render. The Asset system now has addCssOnce and addScriptOnce these methods are cleared with each call to the asset allCss and allScript methods.
• Adds Dynamic Connector support. The connector folder can now contain generic connectors that are scanned and connected at init time.
• All connector support: dynamic, email, db are now scanned for in their respective user space folders. Such as projectroot/db/mongodb.js etc.
• Includes the StretchFS connector as the first of the dynamic connectors.
• Changes the outlook on build chains. Extra chains are now meant to deferred while maintaining the levels. Such as local and module now have localExtra and moduleExtra these help facilitate loading extra needed dependencies in each portion of the chain and helping to avoid duplicates.
• Moves moment into the required build chain to support various needs.
• Add removeScript and removeCss parameters to allow removal of system level components in lieu of custom components or a lighter stack.

3.7.5

Released 4/10/2019

• Move bootstrap into required build chain.

3.7.4

Released 4/10/2019

• Insert samples command is now node app kado insert-samples
• Added new utility commend node app kado scan-modules returns a line delimited list of modules currently registered to the system.
• Scan modules for asset folders and include assets into build.
• Includes easy to use user space build setup. Add entry points into the app declaration and run node app kado bundle or node app kado bundle -i admin local building is done through the -l flag such as node app kado bundle -l or combined node app kado bundle -i admin -l to build locally only for admin.

• Improve filtering on Query profiling to negate skipTables.
• Move session setup below static content declarations to reduce query count.
• Move worker.setupContent below static declarations to reduce query load.
• Add missing indexes to core module models.
• Add profiling output to the main interface.
• Correct calls to render function in core modules to use new function.

3.5.0

Released 1/24/2019

• Implement Profiler sub system to track queries and timing on page loads.
• Add config.dev = true which will enable development and print page profiling in the default interfaces through the template variables provided by the profiler.
• BREAKING: The render function has now been overloaded with an improved Kado provided function render. Backwards compatibility will be provided by using the existing functions. However, res.render('blog/list',{var1: 'something'}) will automatically resolve the view and will inject the profiler object which needs to be finalized. This adds timers before and after the rendering as well as query timers for enhanced profiling. res._r contains the original render function if it is needed. The usage definition is not changed.
• Template variables now available. _pageProfile this is a result of the Profiler system. It contains an array of steps with times and messages that can be print used to build statistic footers. EG: <span>Page Generated in {{_pageProfile.totalTime}}ms, using {{_pageProfile.queryCount}}</span>. Finally, {{{_pageProfile.HTML}}} is a new variable that contains an HTML formatted printout of the profile for use below the footer of the page.
• To make the query profiler work properly per page, there has to be a setting added to the queries in use in the controllers. EG: SomeModel.findByPk(someId,{logging: req.locals._profiler.addQuery}). To shorten this you can use: SomeModel.findByPk(someId,res.Q) where Q stands for Query Options. Using this is optional.
• System level query profiling is also now in effect. In config.dev = true all queries will be logged to console unless they are passed to the page profiler.
• The profiling system can be activated by using the environment variable NODE_DEBUG=kado, this will enable the profiler and DEBUG logging. However, if you want permanent control over dev mode and the profiler setting the config.dev setting to true or false will override the environment.
