## 1.25.0

Released 2015-01-26

Announcements:
 - No more signed maps (#227 and #238)
    - Splits template maps endpoint into its own controller
    - Removes TemplateMaps dependency on SignedMaps
     - Token validation is done against the template
     - Template is always extended with default values for auth and placeholders
     - MapConfig is extended, in order to validate auth_tokens, with template info:
        - template name
        - template auth
     - No more locks to create, update or delete templates
        - Trusting in redis' hash semantics
        - Some tradeoffs:
            * A client having more templates than allowed by a race condition between limit (HLEN) check and creation (HSET)
            * Updating a template could happen while deleting it, resulting in a new template
            * Templates already instantiated will be accessible through their layergroup so it is possible to continue requesting tiles/grids/etc.
     - Authorisation is now handled by template maps
    - Template instantiation returns new instances with default values if they are missing


New features:
 - Basic layergroup validation on named map creation/update (#196)
 - Add named maps surrogate keys and call invalidation on template modification/deletion (#247)
    - Extends TemplateMaps backend with EventEmitter
        - Emits for create, update and delete templates
    - VarnishHttpCacheBackend will invalidate a varnish instance via HTTP PURGE method
        - In the future there could be more backends, for instance to invalidate a CDN.
    - NamedMapsEntry has the responsibility to generate a cache key for a named map
        - It probably should receive a template/named map instead of owner and template name
    - SurrogateKeysCache is responsible to tag responses with a header
        - It also is responsible for invalidations given an Invalidation Backend
        - In the future it could have several backends so it can invalidates different caches
    - SurrogateKeysCache is subscribed to TemplateMaps events to do the invalidations
