From mb at bese.it Tue May 3 14:24:44 2005 From: mb at bese.it (Marco Baringer) Date: Tue, 03 May 2005 16:24:44 +0200 Subject: [Bese-announce] UnCommon Web version 0.3.8 - "learning to climb up ice" Message-ID: UnCommon Web version 0.3.8 - "learning to climb up ice" Released 2005-05-03 This release: improves the documentation; adds a completely new back-end; adds multi-threading support to the mod_lisp back-end; provides a large number of bug fixes and minor improvements. * Home page http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/ * Download ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/project/ucw/ucw_0.3.8.tar.gz ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/project/ucw/ucw_0.3.8.tar.bz2 * Changes (since 0.3.7) ** System - UCW will now attempt to load asdf system definitions manually if asdf:*central-registry* isn't properly configured. This should make it easier for lisp newbies to start with UCW. - All the scripts and lisp files required for starting and stopping UCW are now in the bin directory. The unused file src/bin.lisp has been removed. - The default log level has been turned down to avoid uninformative messages being constantly written to the console. ** RERL - The Content-Type header is explicitly set in the standard-server's handle-request method. - HTTP headers are now always passed as strings. Automatic keyword->string conversion has been eliminated. ** Components - New REDIRECT component. - New convenience macro initialize-container. - *debug-on-error* and *inspect-components* are now exported from the UCW package. ** Back-ends - All back-ends now use the ucw.backend logger, this is much simpler than having each backend have its own logger. - The mod_lisp backend now supports parsing mime encoded POST data. The current API is not definitive and will change in the near future. - mod_lisp backend now support multiple worker threads. - Added httpd backend. ** YACLML/TAL - -*- outline -*- UnCommon Web version 0.3.9 - "learning to spel" Released 2005-05-09 This release: improves the documentation; adds a completely new back-end; adds multi-threading support to the mod_lisp back-end; provides a large number of bug fixes and minor improvements. * Home page http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/ * Download ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/project/ucw/ucw_0.3.9.tar.gz ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/project/ucw/ucw_0.3.9.tar.bz2 * Changes (since 0.3.7) - rfc2388 and iterate are no longer included in distribution tarballs but must be downloaded separately. UCW, unless the araneida backend is used, now depends on PURI (puri.b9.com). ** System - All the scripts and lisp files required for starting and stopping UCW are now in the bin directory. The unused file src/bin.lisp has been removed. - The default log level has been turned down to avoid uninformative messages being constantly written to the console. ** RERL - The Content-Type header is explicitly set in the standard-server's handle-request method. - HTTP headers are now always passed as strings. Automatic keyword->string conversion has been eliminated. - The DEFAPPLICATION macro has been removed. In its place we now must explicitly create the application object and register is with the server at the appropiate times. ** Components - New REDIRECT component. - New convenience macro initialize-container. - *debug-on-error* and *inspect-components* are now exported from the UCW package. ** Back-ends - All back-ends now use the ucw.backend logger, this is much simpler than having each backend have its own logger. - The mod_lisp backend now supports parsing mime encoded POST data.
