Releases for Countries

Changes since 7.x-2.1

Important changes from the 7.x-1.x branch:

Entity API is now a requirement.

After the decision to make countries fieldable entities, this was almost inevitable. This provides a lot better integration and advantages with a number of other contrib modules that use this API.

Other API changes of importance:

countries_get_countries() could throw an exception. [API CHANGE]

If not a core property and a test country does not have this property either, this throws an exception.

Deprecated countries_get_country() [API CHANGE]

This is replaced with country_load(). All calls to countries_get_country() have a watchdog entry warning about the deprecated function and returns country_load() results.

String changes

There have been a number of changes and more consistency has been added to make this process easier.

Country field internal data array

This is normalised so that the safe_value parameter is used instead of the safe parameter.

New features

I haven't tracked these, but there have a few.

I18n integration

There is a new i18n sensitive country widget.

Continent countries widget

Disclaimer: The automated upgrade path from countries-7.x-1.x to countries-7.x-2.x has had limited testing (29 April 2011). Please check all of your country fields configuration options.

This is a developmental release that marks the switch from a custom country widget to the use of Drupal core options widget.

Added Country Icon support.
