New code organization¶ ↑
Sequel is now divided into two parts: sequel_core and sequel_model. These two parts are distributed as two separate gems. The sequel gem bundles sequel_core and sequel_model together. If you don’t use Sequel::Model in your code, you can just install and use sequel_core.
New model hooks implementation¶ ↑
The hooks implementation have been rewritten from scratch, is much more robust and offers a few new features:
-
More ways to define hooks: hooks can now be defined by supplying a
block or a method name, or by overriding the hook instance method.
-
Inheritable hooks: Hooks can now be inherited, which means that you
can define general hooks in a model superclass, and use them in subclasses. You can also define global hooks on Sequel::Model that will be invoked for all model classes.
-
Hook chains can be broken by returning false from within the hook.
-
New after_initialize hook, invoked after instance initialization.
-
The hook invocation order can no longer be changed. Hooks are
invoked in order of definition, from the top of the class hierarchy (that is, from Sequel::Model) down to the specific class.
Miscellanea¶ ↑
-
Removed deprecated adapter stubs, and all other deprecations in both
sequel_core and sequel_model.
-
Fixed String#to_time to raise error correctly for invalid time
stamps.
-
Fixed error behavior when parse_tree or ruby2ruby are not available.
