Version 1.7 #

14 October 2011

We have released the new version 1.7 of Fuel. The list of changes includes performance optimizations, design clean-ups, and new features.

• The FLSerializer and FLMaterializer API has changed. They are no longer implementing the algorithms but are a kind of Façade.
• Developer guides with examples: Getting Started and Customizing the graph.
• Serialization substitutions: “Store this object instead of me.”
• Global sends: “Restore me by sending this selector to this global”
• Versioning the stream: We prefix the stream with a version number that should match when loading.
• Performance optimizations on instances of:
• Word-like classes. (We thank a lot to Henrik Sperre Johansen for your help!)
• ByteString and Symbol.
• Date, Time, Duration and DateAndTime.
• Point and Rectangle.
• MethodDictionary. Now materialization is 2000x faster, thanks to its new rehash without become.
• Huge clean-up in Tests package.
