docs: add What's New With 8.2.0 and fix three doc gaps - #295
Merged
Conversation
…eview Adds a consolidated release-notes page covering everything shipped since v8.1.0: route middleware, HTTP caching primitives, first-class SSE, AI routing conversational context, a security fix to HTTP method spoofing, and Renderer/routing performance work. Also fixes three gaps found while grounding that page against the real merged code: http-method-spoofing.md described the pre-fix, unrestricted _method override behavior (now a documented security hazard if left uncorrected); view-caching.md never mentioned the new viewDiscoveryCaching setting; and announcing-interceptions.md never documented that announce() now returns true/false to report whether an interceptor short-circuited the chain.

Summary
readme/release-history/whats-new-with-8.2.0.md, covering everything shipped since v8.1.0: route-scoped middleware, HTTP caching primitives (ETag/Last-Modified/Cache-Control), first-class Server-Sent Events, AI routing conversational context, a security hardening fix to HTTP method spoofing, and Renderer/routing performance work. Links toSUMMARY.md.ColdBox/coldbox-platformsincev8.1.0:the-basics/routing/http-method-spoofing.mddescribed the old, unrestricted_methodoverride behavior (aGETrequest could spoofDELETE). Rewritten to document the new POST-only restriction, the security rationale, a behavior table, and the newevent.getOriginalHTTPMethod().the-basics/layouts-and-views/views/view-caching.mdhad no mention of the newviewDiscoveryCachingsetting. Added a "View Discovery Caching" section distinguishing it fromviewCaching.the-basics/interceptors/custom-events/announcing-interceptions.mddidn't document thatannounce()now returnstrue/falseto report whether an interceptor short-circuited the chain. Added a "Detecting a Short-Circuit" section.This PR is independent of any other pending documentation PR in this repo — it touches different files than #292/#293/#294, all of which are already merged into
