"agnostic" branch

  • added Sequel support
  • added an initialization hook for Merb
  • refactored URL generation
  • BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: refactored LinkRenderer; also markup changes
      <span class="current">1</span> is now <em>1</em>
      a.prev_page -> a.previous_page (for consistency)
    
  • "prev_label" -> "previous_label"
  • ported view tests to specs
  • setup Autotest
  • added per_page=(limit) attribute writer to set default per_page
  • Remove :include option from count_all query when possible (Rails 2.1)
  • added WP::ViewHelpers::ActionView and LinkRenderer
  • specs for ViewHelpers::Base and LinkRendererBase
  • created LinkRendererBase that implements windowed visible page numbers logic
  • created WP::ViewHelpers::Base abstract module that implements generic view helpers
  • ported finder tests to specs
  • added WP::Finders::DataMapper
  • added WP::Finders::ActiveRecord mixin for ActiveRecord::Base
  • created WP::Finders::Base abstract module that implements generic pagination logic
  • removed dependency to ActiveSupport

2.3.1, released 2008-05-04

  • Fixed page numbers not showing with custom routes and implicit first page
  • Try to use Hanna for documentation (falls back to default RDoc template if not)

2.3.0, released 2008-04-29

  • Changed LinkRenderer to receive collection, options and reference to view template NOT in constructor, but with the prepare method. This is a step towards supporting passing of LinkRenderer (or subclass) instances that may be preconfigured in some way
  • LinkRenderer now has page_link and page_span methods for easier customization of output in subclasses
  • Changed page_entries_info() method to adjust its output according to humanized class name of collection items. Override this with :entry_name parameter (singular).
      page_entries_info(@posts)
      #-> "Displaying all 12 posts"
      page_entries_info(@posts, :entry_name => 'item')
      #-> "Displaying all 12 items"
    

2.2.3, released 2008-04-26

  • will_paginate gem is no longer published on RubyForge, but on gems.github.com:
      gem sources -a http://gems.github.com/  (you only need to do this once)
      gem install mislav-will_paginate
    
  • extract reusable pagination testing stuff into WillPaginate::View
  • rethink the page URL construction mechanism to be more bulletproof when combined with custom routing for page parameter
  • test that anchor parameter can be used in pagination links

2.2.2, released 2008-04-21

  • Add support for page parameter in custom routes like "/foo/page/2"
  • Change output of "page_entries_info" on single-page collection and erroneous output with empty collection as reported by Tim Chater

2.2.1, released 2008-04-08

  • take less risky path when monkeypatching named_scope; fix that it no longer requires ActiveRecord::VERSION
  • use strings in "respond_to?" calls to work around a bug in acts_as_ferret stable (ugh)
  • add rake release task

2.2.0, released 2008-04-07

API changes

  • Rename WillPaginate::Collection#page_count to "total_pages" for consistency. If you implemented this interface, change your implementation accordingly.
  • Remove old, deprecated style of calling Array#paginate as "paginate(page, per_page)". If you want to specify :page, :per_page or :total_entries, use a parameter hash.
  • Rename LinkRenderer#url_options to "url_for" and drastically optimize it

View changes

  • Added "prev_page" and "next_page" CSS classes on previous/next page buttons
  • Add examples of pagination links styling in "examples/index.html"
  • Change gap in pagination links from "…" to "<span class="gap">&hellip;</span>".
  • Add "paginated_section", a block helper that renders pagination both above and below content in the block
  • Add rel="prev|next|start" to page links

Other

  • Add ability to opt-in for Rails 2.1 feature "named_scope" by calling WillPaginate.enable_named_scope (tested in Rails 1.2.6 and 2.0.2)
  • Support complex page parameters like "developers[page]"
  • Move Array#paginate definition to will_paginate/array.rb. You can now easily use pagination on arrays outside of Rails:
      gem 'will_paginate'
      require 'will_paginate/array'
    
  • Add "paginated_each" method for iterating through every record by loading only one page of records at the time
  • Rails 2: Rescue from WillPaginate::InvalidPage error with 404 Not Found by default

[Validate]
