If the version in the settings table mismatches the code version, then we return a 503 error for all requests coming through index.php and api.php, while admin.php serves up a form prompting for the database password which will run outstanding migrations.
We now use Symfony's Translation component. Yay! We get more powerful pluralisation and better a fallback mechanism. Will want to implement the caching mechanism at some point too. The API is replicated in JavaScript, which could definitely use some testing.
Validators have been refactored so that they are decoupled from models completely (i.e. they simply validate arrays of user input). Language packs should include Laravel's validation messages.
ref #267
Core assets are copied into the root/assets directory on installation.
The contents of an "assets" directory within any extension is copied into root/assets/extensions/{name}/ whenever the extension is enabled, and deleted whenever the extension is uninstalled.
Still needs to be refactored
This means that the expensive minification process will only be run for a file if it hasn't before. Greatly speeds up extension enabling/disabling.
Also:
- Don't check file last modification times in production for a bit of extra perf.
- Only flush CSS when theme settings are changed. This speeds up the page reload a bit.
Falls back to a less effective minification library if ClosureCompilerService errors or is unavailable. Minification takes a while (20 seconds or so), but it only happens when assets are modified. Still, this means enabling/disabling extensions is taking far too long. Possible solutions:
- Don't minify initially; set a process running in the background to do minification, and server unminified assets in the meantime.
- Refactor compiler to send each JS file to CCS individually, only if that particular file has been modified.
flarum/gulp has also been updated to no longer support uglification.
