Upgrading From Model-Glue 1

This document is intended for developers already using Model-Glue 1.x. It's not an introduction to Model-Glue, and serves only to outline differences betweeen 1.x and 2.x.

Reverse Compatibility

Applications written for Model-Glue 1.x should be 100% reverse compatible when upgraded to the Model-Glue 2.x codebase. If, for some reason, your application is not, please post a ticket to http://trac.model-glue.com immediately. Reverese compatibility issues are given the highest priority.

Creating New Applications

When you create a new application using the Model-Glue 2.x application template, you'll immediately notice that there is no longer a single ModelGlue.xml file in the /config directory. Instead, there are three files:

1. ModelGlue.xml
2. ColdSpring.xml
3. Reactor.xml

The largest different you'll notice is that the <config> block is no longer in ModelGlue.xml. Instead, the settings for the framework are in ColdSpring.xml. The XML format is a little different, but still self-explanatory. The settings are named the same, and still perform the same function. There are a few new settings, such as "rescaffold." Explanation of each setting can be found in the ColdSpring XML Reference section of the Reference Materials documentation.
