- Fix for MySQL lock lengths. Thanks to Liam!
- Tom Smyth added eager tree loading
- Merged PR 200 which may or may not add support to SQLServer 2008 (but this is not a supported RDBMS).
- Added official support for ActiveRecord 5.0! Thanks to Abdelkader Boudih, Jay Fredlund, Veselin Stoyanov, and Aaron Russell for all the PRs.
- Add
database_less
configuration to not raise an error during build step when database is unavailable which is a common case in some PaaS like (Heroku, Catalyze, ..., etc).
- Andrew Kumanyaev dramatically improved mutation performance on large trees. Thanks for the PR!
- Martin Schmidt discovered and fixed build problems due to new versions of mysql2 and ammeter which broke Travis builds. Thanks for the PR!
- Fabien MICHEL updated the README with another example. Thanks for the PR!
- Dropped support for versions of Rails 3.2 and 4.0 (which are no longer supported).
- Dropped support for Ruby 1.9 and JRuby 1.9 (which are no longer supported).
- Added support for
.hash_tree
from.parent
and.children
. Addresses PR146. Thanks for reporting this and the breaking test, Mike!
- Eduardo Turiño renamed
acts_as_tree
tohas_closure_tree
. We'll keep both annotations around for the forseeable future, but I think not name-colliding by default is strictly better. (Thanks for both the suggestion and PR!) - Ryan Selk made several enhancements to the migration generation (thanks!).
- ruok5 updated the README to clarify a heirarchy maintenance usecase. Thanks!
- Made migrations error with a helpful message if the target didn't have the
has_closure_tree
oracts_as_tree
annotation. This addresses issue 131.
- Fixed bug in
rails g closure_tree:migration
(introduced by me, not by seuros!) that was reported and fixed by Rich Kuo. Thanks!
- Abdelkader Boudih added a database generator for the hierarchies table. Thanks!
- Jason Weathered fixed issue #117
with the preordered traversal code that assumed the primary key column was called
id
. Thanks!
find_by_path
andfind_or_create_by_path
now takes either an array of strings or an array of attribute hashes, which can include the inheritance column for STI support.- Removed the extraneous
base_class
acts_as_tree
option—it needlessly duplicated ActiveRecord's method. - Removed the unused
name
acts_as_tree
option.
- Cleaned up the inheritance support methods to delegate correctly to ActiveRecord
- Fixed a query generation error when ancestor paths exceeded 50 items.
- Documented the
.touch
option
- More goodness from Abdelkader Boudih, including rspec 3 support.
- Pulled in 106 which fixed a bug introduced in 4.6.0 which broke if the numeric ordering column wasn't named 'sort_order'. Tests have been added. Thanks for the fix, Fission Xuiptz!
- Address issue 60 (use
.empty?
rather than.nil?
—thanks for the suggestion, Leonel Galán, Doug Mayer and Samnang Chhun!
-
Deterministically ordered trees are guaranteed to have a sort_order now.
This may be a breaking change if you're expecting sort_order to be nullable.
Many thanks to David Schmidt for raising and working on the issue!
-
Added
append_child
andprepend_child
-
All raw SQL is now
strip_heredoc
'ed
- Merged a bunch of great changes from Abdelkader Boudih, including a change to use appraisal
- Added Travis builds for Rails 4.1.1 and Ruby 2.1.2
- Dropped support for Rails 3.1, as it is no longer receiving security patches. See http://rubyonrails.org/security/ for more information.
-
Added
.self_and_descendant_ids
and.self_and_ancestors_ids
from PR92. Thanks, Kir Shatrov! -
Dropped support for Rails 3.0.
-
Use foreigner to prove that things are inserted and deleted without violating foreign key constraints
-
Added Rails 4.1.0.rc2 as a Travis CI build target
- Support for Heroku's cray assets:precompile hack for Rails 4. Addresses issue 78. Thanks for the assist, Alex Bowman.
- More massaging for Rails 4 and
attr_accessible
support
self_and_ancestors
andancestry_hierarchy
are reloaded when nodes are reparented. Addresses issue 68. Thanks for the assist, Ivan Stana.
- Explicitly added MIT licensing to the gemspec.
-
Fix for potential deadlock from
delete_hierarchy_references
not being called within an advisory lock. Thanks, Armando Guereca, for finding that! -
Sped up find_or_create_by_path to skip cycle detection validation. A node whose ancestry was 200-deep took 20 seconds to create (!!), and now takes < 1 second.
-
Fixed issue with MySQL that prevented nodes > 60 levels deep from being created
- Support for
root?
,child?
, and proper parent-child associations when both the parent and the child are not persisted. Addresses issue 64. Thanks for the help, Gabriel Mazetto!
- Fixed
attr_accessible?
error introduced in 4.2.2 (issue 66). - Switched to use new WithAdvisoryLock::DatabaseAdapterSupport (in v0.0.9) to add Postgis support
- Support attr_accessible and strong_attributes even if you're on Rails 4
- Deleting from NumericDeterministicOrdering doesn't create sort order gaps anymore.
- Added
with_ancestor(*ancestors)
. Thanks for the idea, Matt! - Applied Leonel Galan's fix for Strong Attribute support
find_or_create_by
now uses passed-in attributes as both selection and creation criteria. Thanks for the help, Judd Blair! Please note that this changes prior behavior—test your code with this new version!ct_advisory_lock
was moved into the_ct
support class, to reduce model method pollution- Moved a bunch of code into more focused piles of module mixins
- Added support for Rails 4.0.0.rc1 and Ruby 2.0.0 (while maintaining backward compatibility with Rails 3, BOOYA)
- Added
#to_dot_digraph
, suitable for Graphviz rendering
-
Numeric, deterministically ordered siblings will always be [0..#{self_and_siblings.count}] (previously, the sort order might use negative values, which broke the preordering). Resolves issue 49. Thanks for the help, Leonel Galan, Juan Hoyos, and Michael Elfassy!
-
The
order
option can be a symbol now. Resolves issue 46.
-
Moved all of closure_tree's implementation-detail methods into a
ClosureTree::Support
instance, which removes almost all of the namespace pollution in your models that wasn't for normal consumption. If you were using any of these methods, they're now available through the "_ct" class and instance member.This change may break consumers, so I incremented the major version number, even though no new functionality was released.
-
Prevent faulty SQL statement when
#siblings
is called on an unsaved records. Resolves issue 52. Perfect pull request by Gary Greyling. -
The
.roots
class method now correctly respects the:order
option. Resolves issue 53. Thanks for finding this, Brendon Muir!
-
Multipart constant names like "Admin::PageHierarchy" are now supported. Resolves issue 47. Thanks for the perfect pull request, Simon Menke!
-
Committing transactions involving large numbers of hierarchy model classes was very slow due to hash collisions in the hierarchy class. A better hash implementation addressed issue 48. Thanks, Joel Turkel!
- Added
#roots_and_descendants_preordered
. Thanks for the suggestion, Leonel Galan!
- Added
.child_ids
. - Removed
dependent => destroy
on the descendant_hierarchy and ancestor_hierarchy collections (they were a mistake). - Clarified documentation for creation and child associations.
Because
Tag.create!(:parent => ...)
requires a.reload
, I removed it as an example.
All three of these improvements were suggested by Andrew Bromwich. Thanks!
- find_by_path uses 1 SELECT now. BOOM.
- Double-check locking for find_or_create_by_path
- Support for preordered descendants. This requires a numeric sort order column. Resolves feature request 38.
- Moved modules from
acts_as_tree
into separate files
Due to MySQL's inability to lock rows properly, I've switched to advisory_locks for all write paths. This will prevent deadlocks, addressing issue 41.
- Moved requires into ActiveSupport.on_load
- Added
require 'with_advisory_lock'
Thread safety!
- Advisory locks were
integrated with the class-level
find_or_create_by_path
andrebuild!
. - Pessimistic locking is used by the instance-level
find_or_create_by_path
.
- Don Morrison massaged the #hash_tree query to
be more efficient, and found a bug in
hash_tree
's query that resulted in duplicate rows, wasting time on the ruby side.
- Added workaround for ActiveRecord::Observer usage pre-db-creation. Addresses issue 32. Thanks, Don Morrison!
- Added support for Rails 4's strong parameter. Thanks, James Miller!
- Use
quote_table_name
instead ofquote_column_name
. Addresses issue 29. Thanks, Marcello Barnaba!
- Use
.pluck
when available for.ids_from
. Addresses issue 26. Thanks, Chris Sturgill!
- Fixed issue 24, which optimized
#hash_tree
for roots. Thanks, Saverio Trioni!
- Fixed issue 23, which added support for
#siblings
when sort_order wasn't specified. Thanks, Gary Greyling!
- Fixed issue 20, which affected deterministic ordering when siblings where different STI classes. Thanks, edwinramirez!
Added support for:
:hierarchy_class_name
as an option- ActiveRecord::Base.table_name_prefix
- ActiveRecord::Base.table_name_suffix
This addresses issue 21. Thanks, Judd Blair!
- Added
find_all_by_generation
for feature request 17.
- Fixed issue 18, which affected append_node/prepend_node ordering when the first node didn't have an explicit order_by value
- Reverted .gemspec mistake that changed add_development_dependency to add_runtime_dependency
Fixed issue 15:
- "parent" is now attr_accessible, which adds support for constructor-provided parents.
- updated readme accordingly
- Merged calebphillips' patch for a more efficient leaves query
- Added support for partially-unsaved hierarchies issue 13:
a = Tag.new(name: "a")
b = Tag.new(name: "b")
a.children << b
a.save
- Added
hash_tree
.
- Added
ancestor_ids
,descendant_ids
, andsibling_ids
- Added example spec to solve issue 9
- Added support for deterministic ordering of nodes.
- Switched to using
has_many :though
rather thanhas_and_belongs_to_many
- Merged pull request to fix
.siblings
and.self_and_siblings
(Thanks, eljojo!)
- Added support for ActiveRecord's whitelist_attributes
(Make sure you read the Rails Security Guide, and
enable
config.active_record.whitelist_attributes
in yourconfig/application.rb
ASAP!)
- Fix for ancestry-loop detection (performed by a validation, not through raising an exception in before_save)
- Support 3.2.0's fickle deprecation of InstanceMethods (Thanks, jheiss)!
- Support for polymorphic trees
find_by_path
andfind_or_create_by_path
signatures changed to support constructor attributes- tested against Rails 3.1.3
- Had to increment the major version, as rebuild! will need to be called by prior consumers to support the new
leaves
class and instance methods. - Tag deletion is supported now along with
:dependent => :destroy
and:dependent => :delete_all
- Switched from default rails plugin directory structure to rspec
- Support for running specs under different database engines:
export DB ; for DB in sqlite3 mysql postgresql ; do rake ; done
