[Unreleased]

Changed

  • BREAKING: The json / jsonb / hstore / xml / markdown form code editors migrate from CodeMirror 5 to CodeMirror 6. The data-init="codemirror" textareas are unchanged, but the helper global is now WallabyCodeMirror (was CodeMirror), the editor chrome selector is .cm-editor (was .CodeMirror), and the json / jsonb fields now use data-mode="json" (was javascript). Summernote’s Code View falls back to a plain textarea because window.CodeMirror is no longer provided.
  • BREAKING: The editors use CodeMirror 6’s default light theme; the CodeMirror 5 mdn-like theme is no longer bundled.
  • BREAKING: WallabyCodeMirror.fromTextArea(element, options) returns only view, getValue() and setValue(). The CodeMirror 5 helpers on, getDoc, save, toTextArea and setSize are not provided.

Fixed

  • Wallaby’s initialisers (documentReady) are now bound to the turbolinks:load event. Previously .on(handler) bound nothing, so under Turbolinks none of the CodeMirror, Summernote, date/colour/range pickers or auto_select initialisers ran.

Security

  • Escaped flash messages and validation errors (previously rendered with raw), preventing script injection through error text. Flash alert type tokens are also sanitized before being placed in the CSS class attribute.
  • Sanitized raw-type fields on show/index pages to prevent stored XSS.
  • Guarded CSV exports against formula injection.
  • imodal modal titles/bodies (json/jsonb/hstore/xml cells) are built with escaping helpers instead of html_safe string interpolation.
  • Auto-select setup moved to an external asset. belongs_to / has_many / has_and_belongs_to_many no longer emit inline <script>; the behaviour is initialised from data-* attributes by app/assets/javascripts/wallaby/auto_select_init.js.

8.0.1 - 2026-10-03

Changed

  • Require Rails 8.0+ and Ruby 3.3+ (drop EOL Rails 7.1/7.2, Ruby <= 3.2)
  • Point README documentation links at the in-repo docs/ site (migrated just-the-docs documentation)

Fixed

  • Add missing csv dependency (csv is no longer a default gem since Ruby 3.4)

TODOs

  • Make Wallaby::ResourcesConcern with with general controllers
  • Localization support: to be able to use localization for all the model labels (maybe a new gem)
  • Move generator to wallaby-core

  • Move documentation to wallaby-core

  • documentation for interface
  • documentation for localization
  • Data audit (use papertrail) (maybe..)
  • Batch data action (maybe..)

4.1.2

    WALLABY_ENGINE_MOUNT_PATH is the path where wallaby engine is mounted to. e.g. admin RESOURCES_NAME is the path formed by model class’s plural noun. e.g. order/items CUSTOM_CONTROLLER_PATH is the controller path of the controller that inherits from Wallaby::ResourcesController
