==================
- added "Potential lifestyle mismatches" debugger view item, that will detect and list situations where Singleton depends on Transient or PerWebRequest component (which is usually a bug)
- fixed issue where forwarding main type would create additional, superfluous handler
- WebLogger/WebLoggerFactory was removed from Castle.Core so all references to that are removed from Windsor as well
- obseleted UseSingleProxyInterface in preference over IProxyGenerationHook
- fixed IOC-220 Composite pattern with CollectionResolver should be properly supported without throwing "cycle detected" exception

- fixed IOC-209 Bug in constructor selection when resolving - Windsor would pick unresolvable constructor
- reverted back (to the way it was in v2.1) conditional registration of helper components used by TypedFactoryFacility as it would cause issues when used with nested containers (see the new test and thread "Typed Factories in sub Container (differences between 2.5 and 2.1)" on users group)

- improved how late bound types are displayed in debugger
- fixed bug where count of potentially misconfigured components would show invalid value
- added raw handler access to default component view in debugger
- changed how status message is displayed for potentially misconfigured components so that an actual visualizer for strings can be used to view this potentially long piece of text
2.5.0 (2010-08-21)
==================
- debugger view support has been extracted to a separate subsystem (IContainerDebuggerExtensionHost) and can be extended by users code via IContainerDebuggerExtension and IComponentDebuggerExtension
- calling IHandler.TryStart will no longer silently ignore all the exceptions.
- added CollectionResolver which is a more general version of ArrayResolver and ListResolver and supports in addition ICollection<Foo> and IEnumerable<Foo>
- fixed issue where dependencies would not be cleaned up when component creation failed
- fixed issue where startable component would be created twice when property dependency could not be resolved
- passing arguments to ILazyComponentLoader (see breakingchanges.txt)
- fixed bug that caused exception when proxied component and it's proxied property dependency shared interceptor
2.5.0 beta2 (2010-07-21)
==================
- added support for selecting components based on custom attributes and their properties. See Component.HasAttribute<T>() methods
- added WithService.DefaultInterface() to fluent API.IT matches Foo to IFoo, SuperFooExtended to IFoo and IFooExtended etc
- added support for CastleComponentAttribute in fluent Api. Also added helper filter method Component.IsCastleComponent
- added ability to specify interceptors selector as a service, not just as instance
- added ability to specify proxy hook in fluent API:
- indexers on IKernel are now obsolete.
- added WithAppConfig() method to logging facility to point to loging configuration in AppDomain's config file (web.config or app.config)
- Restructured lifecycle concerns - introduced ICommissionConcern and IDecommissionConcern and favors them over old enum driven style.
- Fixed how contextual arguments are handled. Null is no longer considered a valid value (That would cause an exception later on, now it's ignored).
- Changed method DeferredStart on StartableFacility. It now does not take a bool parameter. A DeferredTryStart() method was introduced instead.
2.5.0 beta1 (2010-07-05)
==================
- Typed Factories will not implicitly pick default ITypedFactoryComponentSelector registered in the container anymore
- Obsoleted all the AddComponent* methods in favor of using Installers and fluent registration API
- ServiceSelector delegate (used in WithService.Select calls) changed signature to fix a bug: http://3.ly/eP5Q
- moved IWindsorInstaller to Castle.MicroKernel.Registration namespace
- typed factories will now obey container release policy, that is if the container does not track the component, so won't the factory.
- added helper methods to fluently configure logging facility using: container.AddFacility<LoggingFacility>( f = > f.Fluent().Magic().Here() );
- added overload for UsingFactoryMethod which exposees ComponentModel of component to the factory
- added generic overloads for ITypeConverter.PerformConversion to reduce casting.
- it is now possible to call WithService.Foo().WithService.Bar() and both services will be used. Also more methods were added: WithService.Self() and WithService.AllInterfaces()
- added simple debugger visualizer to help diagnosing misconfigured components.
- added optimized mode to StartableFacility for Single-call-to-Install scenario that won't start anything before the end of Install (at which point the container is assumed to be completely configured and all components should be there) and it will throw if it can't resolve and start the component.
- added OptimizeDependencyResolution around calls to Install
- Component.IsInNamespace and its sister methods have now overload that let you include components from subnamespaces as well.
- added ability to load assemblies from designated directory (with fair bit of optional filtering using new AssemblyFilter class). It works in three places:
- AllTypes.FromAssemblyInDirectory() - picks assemblies for registration
- FromAssembly.InDirectory() - installs installers from assemblies in the directory
- <install directory="" /> - installs installers from assemblies in directory via XML
- TypedFactoryFacility - added ability to configure factory inline: Component.For<IFooFactory>().AsFactory(f => f.SelectedWith("selectorKey"))
- Changed IModelInterceptorSelector's signature and behavior (see breakingChanges.txt for details)
- removed IProxyHook interface (see breakingchanges.txt)
- added support for specifying typed factory component selectors on a per-factory basis
- added support for using services as mixins
- added autogenerated delegate-based factories. Taking dependency on Func<IFoo> and calling the delegate will return IFoo from the container
- implemented IOC-ISSUE-203 - Add to fluent API scanning assemblies for IWindsorInstallers and installing them
- added fluent API for EventWiringFacility
- added ability to specify assemblies that will be scanned for types when shorthened type name is using via XML using the following syntax:
<using assembly="Assembly name or path to file.dll" />
- added ability to specify installers (IWindsorInstaller) via XML using either of the following:
<installers>
<install type="Castle.Windsor.Tests.Installers.CustomerInstaller"/>
<install assembly="Castle.Windsor.Tests"/>
</installers>
installers must be public and have default constructor.
- Xml config does not require assembly qualified type name any more - specifying just type name, or typename+namespace should be enough. Works only for types in already loaded assemblies.
- ResolveAll will now resolve components that are not in Valid state when inline/dynamic arguments are provided
- TypedFactoryFacility: TypedFactoryComponent will now fallback to resolving by type if no component with designated name can be found
- fixed issue with per-web-request components not being released properly in some cases
- fixed IOC-ISSUE-199 - NamingPartsSubSystem broken when RegisterHandlerForwarding is used
- TypedFactoryFacility: added ability to resolve multiple components
- TypedFactoryFacility: added ability to put custom resolving logic
- fixed another case of IoC-168 where a component with two constructors of different parameter length couldn't be resolved when the fewer parameter constructor was not satisfied
- If and Unless functions on fluent registration API are now cumulative - it is legal to call them multiple times and all conditions will be checked. This is a minor breaking change from previous behavior where last call would win.
- added typed arguments (specified by type rather than by name).
It works for:
- call site (Resolve with Dictionary, specifying System.Type as value of key. A helper class 'Arguments' should be used for this.)
- DynamicParameters - there's an extension method Insert that should make using it nicer
- fluent Api (DependsOn(Property.ForKey<string>().Eq("typed"))
- added 'Insert' extension method on IDictionary, specifically so simplify usage in DynamicParameters method and similar situations. It behaves like IDictionary's indexer setter
- added 'Arguments' class to carry inline arguments (typed or named) for components. It is recommended to use this class rather than Hashtable or Dictionary<>
- added strongly typed overloads for StartUsingMethod and StopUsingMethod from startable facility's registration API. It is now possible to call .StartUsingMethod(x => x.Start).StopUsingMethod(x => x.Stop)
- moved StartUsingMethod/StopUsingMethod to extension methods in StartableFacility's namespace. Startable() method was removed as superfluous.
- changed the UsingFactoryMethod (and UsingFactory) methods in fluent registration API to not rely on FactorySupportFacility. They now work even if facility is not used.
- fixed IOC-ISSUE-190 - "Resolve with argumentsAsAnonymousType overload is now case sensitive".
This fixed a regression bug introduced in v2.1, and brings the behavior back to what it was in v2.0.
- added support for specifying interceptorsSelector, proxyHook and mixins from config (see new tests for example). This also means some small impact breaking changes:
- DefaultProxyFactory.CreateProxyGenerationOptionsFrom protected method has changed signature - it now also takes IKernel and CreationContext, to be used by IReferences to do resolve (see below)
- DefaultProxyFactory.CustomizeProxy protected virtual method has changed signature, for the same reason as above
- ProxyOption's properties changed types:
Selector, from IInterceptorSelector to IReference<IInterceptorSelector>
Hook from IProxyHook to IReference<IProxyHook>
MixIns from object[] to IEnumerable<IReference<object>>
IReference abstraction allows to use components resolved from the container, similar to InterceptorReferences.
- Moved several types from Core:
ComponentActivatorAttribute
ComponentProxyBehaviorAttribute
CustomLifestyleAttribute
DoNotWireAttribute
InterceptorAttribute
LifestyleAttribute
PooledAttribute
TransientAttribute
GraphNode
IVertex
IRecyclable
IStartable
ComponentModel
ConstructorCandidate
ConstructorCandidateCollection
DependencyModel
DependencyModelCollection
InterceptorReference
InterceptorReferenceCollection
LifecycleStepCollection
MethodMetaModel
MethodMetaModelCollection
ParameterModel
ParameterModelCollection
PropertySet
PropertySetCollection
TopologicalSortAlgo
IOnBehalfAware
GraphSets
GraphTestCase

- Applied AndyD's patch fixing IOC-52
"Remote access to generic components"
- Fixed IOC-45
"Proxying a component that has an interface that is extended from another interface throws an exception"
- Applied patch by Ernst Naezer fixing IOC-37
"Resolving with arguments in Windsor"
- Fixed IOC-43
"Creation of an Attribute in the Kernel that allows one property to be ignored by the dependency builder"
Introduced DoNotWireAttribute that marks a property and prevents it
from being considered by the container
- Changed Windsor to use DynamicProxy 2
- Applied patch by Adam Mills fixing IOC-42
"ResolveServices", new method added to IKernel
- Applied patch by Adam Mills fixing IOC-41
"Bug Fix BinaryTreeComponentName - Assumed Lesser nodes went to left"
- Applied patch by Adam Mills fixing IOC-40
"Provided an Implementation for BinaryTreeComponentName.Remove"
- Applied patch by Adam Mills fixing IOC-39
"Fix for Null Reference when accessing empty BinaryTreeComponentName"
- Fixed IOC-35
"Add bootstrap section to configuration file"
- Fixed issue where KeyAlreadyAdded exception would be throw for
components accepting two parameters of the same type, without overrides
- Fixed IOC-36
"Transient components with multliple constructors throw
unresolved dependency exceptions."
Removed best candidate reference, as the kernel is dynamic it should
not cache best constructors as components can be added or removed
at any time
Removed Points from candidates, as in a multithreaded scenario
this would lead to failures
- Fixed IOC-34
"Cannot use types having their own base type as constructor argument"
See revision r2787
- IOC-32, Support generic collections.
Supported collections are: ICollection<T>, IList<T>, List<T>, IDictionary<K,V>, Dictionary<K,V>, IEnumerable<T>
RC 3
====
- Applied patch by William C. Pierce <wcpierce@gmail.com> adding PerWebRequestAttribute
- Added setter to ReleasePolicy property
- Applied Curtis Schlak's patch fixing IOC-30
"Add overload to Windsor AddComponent to specify the Lifestyle"
- Refactored AbstractHandler to use IDependencyResolver
- Dependencies can be resolved now in three levels:
* CreationContext (which now implements ISubDependencyResolver)
* IHandler (which now implements ISubDependencyResolver)
* IKernel which is the normal flow
- Implemented IoC-29 using a different approach
- Renamed IKernel.AddComponentWithProperties to AddComponentExtendedProperties.
The old method name misled the programmer about its purpose.
- Added a PerWebRequestLifestyleManager which creates at most one instance of
an object per web request. To use it you must add the following http module
<httpModules>
...
<add name="PerWebRequest" type="Castle.MicroKernel.Lifestyle.PerWebRequestLifestyleManager , Castle.MicroKernel,Version=0.0.1.7, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=407dd0808d44fbdc"/>
<httpModules>
The strong name could be omitted if not in the GAC
- Added checks to handle cycles in dependencies graphs and avoid deadly Stack Overflow Exceptions.
- Fixed IOC-24: "Allow user to provide an attribute which will customize how to inspect properties (PropertiesDependenciesModelInspector)"
Now users can add an 'inspectionBehavior' attribute to the component node that defines
the inspection strategy. Possible values are
- None: No properties inspection should happen
- All: All properties will be inspected and collected (on the class and on the superclasses).
This is the default behavior
- DeclaredOnly: Only properties specified on type are checked (superclasses will be ignored)
- Added overload to ITypeConvertor that accept the current node configuration as well as the type in CanHandleType()
- Change: Better error message when there's an exception
setting up properties
- Fixed IOC-25: Overrides on the configuration should be considered a non-optional dependency
This fix changes a little the MicroKernel behavior. Now if you specify an service override
through external configuration, it will be considered a _non-optional_ dependency
- Uri usage replaced by CustomUri which, differently than MS' Uri class, has the same
behavior on net-1.1, net-2.0 and mono
- EventWiring Facility: now when a publisher is requested, the subscribers
are automatically started.
The side effects are:
- when a subscriber is requested it won't be wired automatically.
- There no much sense in having a subscriber with a lifestyle other than singleton
I'm still evaluating this idea. Sometimes wiring only when the subscriber is requested
might make sense, but supporting both approaches is kinda hard.
- Applied patch by Alex Henderson <webmaster@bittercoder.com> adding
IWindsorContainer.RemoveChildContainer(IWindsorContainer childContainer)
and IKernel.RemoveChildKernel(IKernel kernel)
- Applied fix by Ahmed. Now defines can be used on properties nodes like
<properties>
<?if DEBUG?>
<item>x</item>
<?end?>
</properties>
- Now with DictionaryConverter you can specify the keyType and valueType on each entry (kudos to Ahmed)
- xmlinterpreter will throw an exception if a property is not defined but referenced
using #{propertyName} syntax.(Patch from Ahmed)
- XmlProcessor refactored from XmlInterpreter (kudos to Ahmed)
Now PI are also supported (don't forget to document this on the wiki)
- Support for nested nodes on the properties. (kudos to Ahmed)
Example:
<configuration>
<properties>
<MyComponentParams>
<user>Joe</user>
<pwd>Doe</pwd>
</MyComponentParams>
</properties>
<components id=??Component
<parameters>#{ MyComponentParams }</parameters>
</components>
</configuration>
Will result in
<components id=??Component
<parameters>
<user>Joe</user>
<pwd>Doe</pwd>
</parameters>
</components>
- Type converter for kernel components. This allows a usage like this:
<component id="mycomp">
<parameters>
<servicelist>
<list type="IMyService, MyAssembly">
<item>${keytocomponent1}</item>
<item>${keytocomponent2}</item>
</list>
</servicelist>
</parameters>
- Removed support for MethodMeta on ComponentModel. The design decision here
is to make the facilities interested on it to extend MethodMetaInspector
reading from a specific node.
RC 2
====
- AsyncInitializationContainer introduced. Special container flavor that installs the
facilities and components using a background thread.
- Support for evaluation of expressions within the xml configuration (kudos to Ahmed)
The following "statements" are supported:
<define flag="DEBUG" />
<undef flag="DEBUG"/>
<if defined="DEBUG">
component/facility nodes
</if>
<choose>
<when defined="DEBUG">
<component id="debug"/>
</when>
<when defined="Qa">
<component id="qa"/>
</when>
<when defined="Prod">
<component id="prod"/>
</when>
<otherwise>
<component id="default"/>
</otherwise>
</choose>
- Startable facility: support to specify the attribute startable=true on the configuration
- Better error messages: now the components waiting for dependencies will recursively
report what they are waiting for.
- Support for custom lifestyle through configuration (kudos to Bawer Dagdeviren):
<component id="my.component"
type="MyLib.MyComponent, MyLib"
lifestyle="custom"
customLifestyleType="MyLib.MyCustomLifestyle, MyLib" />
- Added Type converter for enums
- Support to associate configuration nodes to methods. Usage:
<component>
<methods>
<save />
<save signature="System.String, mscorlib" />
<save signature="System.String, mscorlib;System.Int32, mscorlib" />
</methods>
</component>
Which is equivalent to
<component>
<methods>
<method name="save" />
<method name="save" signature="System.String, mscorlib" />
<method name="save" signature="System.String, mscorlib;System.Int32, mscorlib" />
</methods>
</component>
- IResource introduced (FileResource, AssemblyResource, ConfigResource and UncResource)
which are accessible through Uris:
- FileResource:
file://pathtofile
(For example: file://c:\mydir\file.txt)
- AssemblyResource:
assembly://AssemblyName/ExtendingNamespace/filename
(For example: assembly://Castle.Windsor.Tests/Configuration2/include1.xml)
- ConfigResource:
config://sectioname
(For example: config://castle will fetch the
<configuration><castle> entry in the configuration)
- UncResource:
\\server\file
(For example: \\mysharedplace\myconfig.xml)
- IResource, IResourceFactory and IResourceSubSystem introduced
- Ability to use <properties> in configuration files. Usage
<properties>
<prop1>prop1 value</prop1>
<prop2>prop2 value</prop2>
</properties>
<facilities>
<facility id="testidengine" >
<item>#{prop1}</item>
</facility>
<facility id="testidengine2" >
<item value="#{prop2}"/>
</facility>
</facilities>
- Ability to use <include> in configuration files. Usage
Main file:
<configuration>
<include uri="file://include1.xml"/>
</configuration>
include1.xml:
<configuration>
<components>
<component id="testidcomponent1">
</component>
<component id="testidcomponent2">
</component>
</components>
</configuration>
