Platform[edit]
- JPATH_PLATFORM is now used instead of JPATH_LIBRARIES
JDatabaseQuery[edit]
JDatabaseQuery is now abstract due of the work done to support new database engines (Windows Azure and Microsoft SQL Server). This means you must use $db->getQuery(true); to instantiate a query as is the correct practice in Joomla 1.6.
JDocument[edit]
- getHeadData(), setHeadData() and mergeHeadData() are from now on only present in JDocumentHTML. They have been removed from JDocument and JDocumentXML.[1]
JDocumentHTML[edit]
- JDocumentHTML::$_links has changed to a multidimensional array. Also the rendering of the link elements has been moved from JDocumentHTML to JDocumentRenderHead.[2]
JDocumentRendererMessage[edit]
- A div element with the ID "system-message-container" is always rendered, whether there are messages or not. This ID should not be used in any extension or template.[3]
JURI[edit]
- The unused parameter $akey has been removed from JURI::buildQuery().[4]
JLoader[edit]
- JLoader can't load files multiple times anymore.[5]
CMS[edit]
