Since there were a lot of small changes since 2.0rc2 I decided to release
another rc version before the final 2.0 release. If no additional bugs are
found this will turn into Embperl 2.0.0

Any bug reports, patches, documentation updates, spelling corrections are
welcome. So give it a try...


Embperl is a system for building dynamic websites with Perl.

It gives you the power to embed Perl code in your HTML/XML documents and the
ability to build your Web site out of small reusable objects in an
object-oriented style.

Embperl has several features which are especially useful for creating
Websites, including dynamic tables, form field processing, URL
escaping/unescaping, session handling, caching, xslt transformation and
more.

See http://perl.apache.org/embperl/ (english) or http://www.ecos.de/embperl/
(german) for more information.

Enjoy

Gerald


Changes since 2.0rc2:

- Handle warnings the same way under Embperl and Embperl::Object, so they
are in both cases log to embperl.log and the Apache error log and show
up on the error page. Reported by Dirk Melchers.
- Report line number and file name in unstructures jump error messages.
Requested by Michael Smith.
- Fixed sigsegv under solaris cause by NULL point in debug output.
- Applied patches from Angus Lees to make Embperl compile and test on
64Bit machines and avoid some compiler warnings.
- Add pod for embpmsgid.pl from Angus Lees.
- Fix [= =] with included spaces in embpmsgid.pl. Reported by Robert.
- Make undef values for translation hashs treat as the same as
non exists. Requested by Robert.
- Let embpmsgid.pl parse out language tags of gettext, sort output
and don't convert chars > 128 to octal values. Requested by Robert.
- Fixed make test module load problem for mod_perl tests, when
mod_perl is staticly linked into Apache
- Documentation updates and cleanup
- Output an error message when an Embperl sub is called and no
Embperl request is active.
- Do not use method call to output in send_error_page to avoid
trouble with overloaded output function.
- Fixed segfault which occured sometimes randomly after compile
of Embperl page source.
- Reimplemented SetupSession, CleanupSession and SetSessionCookie
which can be used to access Embperl session data from outside,
for example from mod_perl Authentication handler.
- Fixed problem with undefined $req_rec when Embperl::Execute
is called from a registry script. Reported by Martin Moss.
- If an object is passed to die inside Execute the errors array
will receive this object and will not be stringified.
Requested by Robert Noris.
- $epreq -> errobj holds the last object passed to die during
the request.
- Added documentaion of Embperl's error handling and trapping.
- If optReturnError is set in the httpd.conf it is now reseted
for all sub components, to make sure all errors are reported
back. (It can still be set via the options argument of
Execute).
- Using ErrorDocument by setting optReturnError now also works
under EmbperlObject. Reported by Robert Noris.
- Fixed problem when calling Embperl sub via Execute inside a
file that is called via Execute. Reported by Michael Smith.
- Fixed segfault when requesting symbol tables informations
via Apache::Status, reported by Dan Wilga.
- Find apr.h if it is not in same directory as httpd.h in
Makefile.PL. (Necessary for RedHat)
