4.5.0

Fluid 4.5 makes advances in two areas: It contains a range of new ViewHelpers that should make the life of integrators easier. Also, it includes deprecations in preparation for the upcoming Fluid 5.0, which will contain various breaking changes.

New ViewHelpers in Fluid 4.5:

• <f:range> creates an array containing the specified range of integers
• <f:length> returns the length of a given string
• <f:merge> merges two given arrays into one
• <f:startsWith> and <f:endsWith> check if a given string starts or ends with another string
• <f:round>, <f:ceil> and <f:floor> provide various ways to round floats
• <f:min> and <f:max> return the minimum/maximum value in the given array
• <f:contains> checks if a given array/string contains the given value

The deprecations and preparations for the upcoming Fluid 5.0 are listed in the documentation: Changelog 4.x
