I have done a lot of fine tuning and error fixing since 2.0b7. Also Embperl
now supports mod_perl 2.0 with prefork MPM (threaded MPM will require Perl
5.8.0). The docs are moveing towards 2.0, but some features are still only
documentent in README.v2.

Everybody who is running a copy of Embperl 2, should upgrade to 2.0b8,
because this will improve stabibility.

Enjoy

Gerald

Changes since 2.0b7:

2.0b8 (BETA) 25. Juni 2002

- exit can now exit the whole request. When called without argument
it exits the current component, like before, when called with argument
it exits the whole request.
- Added support for Apache 2.0 / mod_perl 2.0 (prefork MPM).
- Added the possibility to catch the output of a sub-request
(e.g. a CGI script, Java or PHP output) when running under Apache 2.0
- when setting $r -> param -> filename in an application object
to a relativ path it is interpreted relativ to original request
- Start to catch up with new features of Embperl 2 in the docs. Added
Config.pod for configuration and calling.
- Lots of improvments in the new Embperl website, which serves as best
example for using the new Embperl 2 features. It's part of the
distribution
and can be found under eg/web. See eg/web/README.
- fixed bug with setting of escmode and print Out reported by
Eric-Olivier Le Bigot.
- fixed incorrected escaping inside of an URL when expanding an hash
or array reference. Reported by Axel Beckert.
- fixed possible endless loop when expanding hash or array inside of
an URL.
- fixed a segfault that occured when source file encryption was enabled.
Reported by Edwin Ramirez.
- fixed a segfault that occured when no input file is given. Reported by
Edwin Ramirez.
- fixed a segfault that occured on solaris when input comes from memory.
Reported by Mike Wesemann.
- readd possibility to build version with and without Apache support
on windows.
- Remove Content-Length: 0 HTTP-Header in CGI Mode
- Fixed segfault when replacing an attribute. Reported by Michael
Stevens.
- Fixed random segfaults, that had occured when Perl had reallocated it's
internal Stack.
- When apache is started with -D EMBPERL_APDEBUG, it outputs a
configuration trace.
- When file is not found, Embperl::Object now returns status 404, instead
of 500. Reported by Cameron McBride.
- When optReturnError is set, Embperl::Object now really returns the
error code.
Reported by Cameron McBride.
- Fixed a reference count error when using the import parameter. Reported
by Michael Smith.
- Fixed string reference counting problem in RTF&POD syntax.
- Fixed a segfault that had occured when a file with a syntax error is
compiled the second time within the same process. Reported by
Michael Smith.
- removed do { } around expressions of [+ +] blocks inside urls, because
this cost performance and now all [+ +] behaves the same. Reported by
Michael Smith.
- make stop now works also on windows.
- make start, which can be used to view/test the Embperl website localy,
now displays the URL how to request the site.
- libxslt does correct error reporting now.
- libxslt output encoding is now recognized correctly.
- set Content-Length when sending error page, so Internet Explorer won't
show
his own error page.
