Skinny 2 was finally released on 19th Nov.

2.0 Upgrade

Upgrading to 2.x is so easy. Let me show you some new things since Skinny 2.

http://skinny-framework.org/documentation/migration-guide.html

From ScalatraTo Skinny Micro

Skinny 2 has moved from Scalatra to its own Servlet layer “Skinny Micro”.

Scalatra DSL compatible. Much improvements on safety when working with Scala Future.

Well-known Scalatra’s DynamicVariable issue.

DynamicVariable issue

Skinny Micro’s Async controllers are safe enough. https://github.com/skinny-framework/skinny-micro

Async Controllers

Type-safe controllers accepts only ActionResult value as the action method’s result.

Type-safe Controllers

Skinny Micro has its own Jetty launcher. You can boot a Web server with single Scala source file.

Single File Web App

json4s 3.3 Compatible

Skinny 2’s JSON utility is compatible with json4s 3.3. 3.3 series will keep binary compatibility.

ScalikeJDBC 2.3 Compatible

Skinny ORM 2.0 is compatible with ScalikeJDBC 2.3. ScalikeJDBC 2.3 will keep binary compatibility too.

Get rid of Yeoman Generator

We got rid of Yeoman Generator for “skinny new” command and skinny upgrade.

No more Node installation issue

We won’t be plagued with Node version issue any more.

DeprecatedJSXTransformer.js

JSXTransformer (React’s JSX transpiler) has been deprecated this summer.

skinny-assets still has JSXTransformer.js. Moving to Babel is recommended by React team.

Renewed Website

The official website is renewed.

Not so many. Just changing styles and adding Google Custom Search. 1.x docs are archived.

• So easy to upgrade Skinny version

• Already my company’s several services have been moved to 2.0

• No troubles for now, stable enough

Upgrade is so easy. If you have some troubles, please ask me on the Google Group ML or Twitter.

Enjoy Skinny 2!

Let’s enjoy Scala programming with Skinny 2!
