  • Associations
    • Adapter-level support for optimized joins (SQL databases and Mongo)
    • Built-in support for in-memory joins. Allows for cross-database and even cross-adapter joins! (e.g. a User in Mongo has many Messages in a MySQL database called legacy_messages, and also a Role in a MySQL database called myapp. These can be automatically joined together using the same ORM syntax as normal.)
  • Better Error Handling in Waterline
  • Revamped Sails CLI
    • Generators w/ support for coffeescript
    • Support for dry runs (--dry) for sails generate and sails new
    • Experimental support for custom generators
  • API Blueprints
    • Blueprints are injected into project, allowing the built-in API to be customized.
    • Dramatic simplification of how blueprints are injected-- by implicitly including them in the routes file.
    • Backwards compatibility for blueprints on <=v0.9 apps can be achieved by plugging in a simple config to re-enable the traditional support and configurations.
    • Blueprint routes automatically take associations into account, e.g.:
      • GET /user/2/dogs -- get dogs belonging to user #2
      • GET /user/2/dad -- get dad belonging to user #2
      • PUT /user/2/dogs -- add a dog to user #2
      • DELETE /user/2/dogs/2 -- remove dog #5 from user #2
  • PubSub
    • Simplified dramatically- removed concept of class rooms (most of the time, this isn't exactly what you want anyways)
    • Blueprints still work the same way by introspecting your app's schema and taking advantage of information about assocations to create logical publish/subscribe dependencies, relying on the global channel in cases where a shared instance doesn't exist.
    • Reduced to a handful of simple methods:
      • SomeModel.publish() -- publish to model instance
      • SomeModel.subscribe() -- subscribe socket to model instance
      • SomeModel.unsubscribe() -- unsubscribe socket from model instance
      • sails.publish() -- publish to global channel
      • sails.subscribe() -- subscribe socket to global channel
      • sails.unsubscribe() -- unsubscribe socket to global channel
  • Error Negotiation Shortcuts
    • Automatically content-negotiate a response-- configurable in 500.js, 404.js, 400.js, 403.js
    • res.serverError( msgOrObj )
    • res.notFound()
    • res.forbidden( msgOrObj )
    • res.badRequest( msgOrObj )
