# Candy History

This document aims to provide only an overview.  Further, we've only really been tracking things since **v0.2**.  For obsessive detail, just check out the `git log`.

## v0.2.4 - 2010-04-21 (the "No shortcuts!" release)

While building validations and custom behavior on a new app, I realized that any method overrides in my classes
were being bypassed if I passed the values in a hash to .new() -- it was just setting everything straight in Mongo.
Inconsistent behavior is uncool.  So now every hash key calls the relevant assignment method in the class.

* Values passed in hash to new objects call the relevant assignment methods
* Fixed typo in README (thanks, kfl62)

## v0.2.3 - 2010-04-13 (the "around and around we go") release

Turns out some Rails environments get really ornery if you introduce circular dependencies into your code.  Like, say, requiring 'candy/hash' inside 'candy/piece' and 'candy/piece' inside 'candy/hash'.  Who knew?

(Rhetorical question.  _I_ should have known.  I'll restructure later to remove the breakage.)

* Stubbed out Candy::Piece to resolve circular dependency issue


## v0.2.2 - 2010-04-12 (the "I hate reporting bugs to the MongoDB team" release)

The Mongo gem has broken the BSON functions out into a separate bson gem, so I had to fix things.  This means Candy is no longer compatible with the Mongo gem < 0.20.1.  Que sera.  (Also, the bson_ext gem **must** be installed due to a bug.  I'll remove the dependency when they fix it.)  Additional minor bonus: authentication.

* New BSON::* classes correctly referenced in Candy::Wrapper
* Candy.username and Candy.password properties to automatically authenticate at the global level
* Class-specific .username and .password properties for class-specific databases

## v0.2.1 - 2010-04-04 (the "Oops" release)

I screwed up in my use of Jeweler, and managed to get my versions out of sync between Github and Rubygems.org.  I tried to `gem yank` the one from Rubygems, but it won't let me push again with the same version number.  To justify bumping the patch number, I added this changelog.  Yeah, I know.  Pathetic.

* The HISTORY file you're reading

## v0.2.0 - 2010-04-04 (the "Candy for Easter" release)

A nearly total rewrite.  Some specs still remain from v0.1, but very little actual code.  Added in this release were:

* Candy::Collection
* Candy::CandyHash
* Candy::CandyArray
* Dynamic class methods for finders
* Object embedding
* Module-level configuration properties (`Candy.host`, `Candy.db`, etc.)
* A novel-length README file
* The Don't Be a Dick License
* Other stuff I've surely forgotten about

## v0.1 - 2010-02-16

Let's just call this one a "proof of concept" release.  It worked, but clumsily.  Only Candy::Piece was really implemented, with no embedding, and the bulk of the code was directly in `method_missing`.  Global variables like **$MONGO_HOST** were used instead of module properties, and the separation of driver and framework concerns was nonexistent.  Please don't look at it.  You'll make me blush.
