                      Perl Module RPC::XML Change History                   

		Revision history for the Perl extension module  
		RPC::XML. This is an implementation of the      
		XML-RPC standard as described at the URL        
		"http://www.xmlrpc.com". This implementation    
		also permits some minor extensions to the base  
		protocol in terms of supporting HTTP/1.1 and    
		allowing choice of character-set encodings for  
		XML messages.

	* MANIFEST
	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser/XMLParser.pm
	Expanded definition of the interface to include push-parsing    
	methods. Documented these and added stubs to                    
	RPC::XML::Parser::XMLParser that throw exceptions when called   
	by a non-push-parser instance. Reflected changes to test suite

	called is of type Function (and thus has no strict signatures). 

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	* t/13_no_deep_recursion.t (added)
	RT #41063: Re-visit how arrays and structs are smart-encoded    
	and constructed, so as to avoid cyclical data structure         
	references.

	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	* t/70_compression_detect.t (added)
	RT #47219: Mis-read the patch from previous fix, this actually  
	fixes it. Also added a test suite to check for                  
	compression-detection.

	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	RT #47219: Re-did the detection of compression availability     
	(testing for the Compress::Zlib module) based on comments in    
	this bug.                                                       

	* t/60_net_server.t
	RT #47220: Net::Server tests are not (currently) viable on      
	Windows. Also made script taint-safe.                           

	* t/40_server.t
	* t/50_client.t
	* t/util.pl
	RT #47221: Applied a patch from kmx@volny.cz, for better

0.65	Wednesday June 17, 2009, 06:00:00 AM -0700

	* etc/make_method
	* etc/rpc-method.dtd
	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm
	* t/30_method.t
	* t/35_namespaces.t (added)
	* t/namespace1.xpl (added)
	* t/namespace2.xpl (added)
	* t/namespace3.xpl (added)
	Support for declaration of namespaces in XPL code. Adds a new   
	test suite and includes a rewrite/update of the method tests.   
	Change also covers the make_method tool and the DTD for XPL     
	files.                                                          

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	* t/02_pod_coverage.t
	Interim fix for encoding issues, prior to the mega-encoding     
	work. This makes the library correctly create octet-based       
	messages, rather than letting UTF-8 leak in if it was passed in 
	initially.                                                      

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	Follow-up to previous commit, some serialization-related        
	problems. Not all instances of bytelength() had been removed    
	after the previous slate of changes, and once that was done     
	some tests in 15_serialize.t broke.                             

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm
	* t/12_nil.t (added)
	* t/30_method.t
	RT #34132: Based on a patch from the requestor, added support   
	for <nil/>. Documentation and tests are present, but a little   
	sparse. This change also incorporates a small add to            
	lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm to address RT #42033.                     

	* t/40_server.t
	* t/41_server_hang.t
	RT #27778: Fix problems with child-process management on        
	Windows that was causing t/40_server.t to hang during test      
	runs. Also put skip-clause into t/41_server_hang.t, as          
	according to the person reporting, it doesn't work at all on    
	MSWin (the network code is very UNIX-y).                        

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	* t/10_data.t
	Applied a regexp-fix from Joakim Mared for stringification of   
	doubles.

	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	* t/10_data.t
	RT ticket #35106: Make the behavior of RPC::XML::array          
	constructor work as expected. This led to adding use of         
	Scalar::Util and cleaning up the places where I was still doing 
	"UNIVERSAL::isa(...)" hacks to test refs without the risk of    
	directly calling ->isa() on a potentially-unblessed ref.

	Update the copyright year and license information, and add      
	contact data to all POD sections for RT, AnnoCPAN, GitHub, etc. 

	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	* t/50_client.t
	RT ticket #34559: Allow control of LWP::UA timeouts from within 
	client class.                                                   

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	RT ticket #43019: Small hack to the existing SSL hack for       
	Socket6 problems.

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Since Scalar::Util requires 5.006, make that (5.006001,         
	actually) the base required Perl version.                       

0.64	Monday September 29, 2008, 04:15:00 AM -0700

	* t/40_server.t, revision 361
	Further flexibility on the test of $srv->url(). This should     
	(finally) catch any variation of 127.* address and/or           
	host/domain naming that aliases to "localhost".                 

	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm, revision 363
	* t/20_parser.t, revision 363
	Lingering problem from RT ticket #30354, RPC::XML::Parser did   
	not get the change committed that included parser-level support 
	for <i8>. Also added tests for parsing RPC::XML::request        
	objects and all the data-type objects to the parser test suite  
	(had they been there before, I would have caught this myself).  

0.63	Friday September 19, 2008, 02:23:12 AM -0700

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 359
	Forgot to increment $VERSION before the previous commit. Won't  
	show up in CPAN as an available update otherwise.               

0.62	Friday September 19, 2008, 02:12:02 AM -0700

	* t/40_server.t, revision 355
	Extended the die message when $srv fails to allocate. Some      
	testers are getting a failure here but I have no idea how or    
	why.                                                            

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 356
	Testers-service reports showed that the new i8 type was not     
	auto-boxing correctly on true 64-bit machines. Turns out I had  
	bogus values for the maximums and minimums, not just for 8-byte 
	ints but also for plain 4-byte ones as well.                    

0.61	Monday September 15, 2008, 01:38:44 AM -0700

	* t/00_load.t, revision 346
	Converted to Test::More due to some cpan-testers reports that   
	showed test 2 failing. Hoping this might provide better         
	feedback if it continues to fail.                               

	* t/40_server.t, revision 347
	Changed a test for "localhost:$port" in the server URL method   
	to optionally allow localhost.localdomain, for those systems    
	whose /etc/hosts cause the former to convert to the latter. Was 
	causing false failures.                                         

	* t/40_server.t, revision 348
	* t/50_client.t, revision 348
	* t/60_net_server.t, revision 348
	Test suites armored against server processes that die as a      
	result of croak() or other calls within 3rd-party modules. The  
	client and net_server suites were also converted to Test::More  
	at this time.                                                   

	* t/40_server.t, revision 349
	Fix for RT ticket #36078, fix the URL testing on the server     
	object to be less strict. Instead of only allowing "localhost", 
	now also allows "localhost.localdomain" and does a look-up of   
	"localhost" for the 127.* IP address and permits that as well.  
	In essence, this extends and supercedes the second change       
	listed above after more invariant cases were discovered.        

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 350
	* t/10_data.t, revision 350
	Per RT ticket #30354 and specific request from a large agency   
	using this package, implemented an "i8" type as an extension to 
	the official XML-RPC specification. Documentation and tests     
	included.                                                       

	* t/40_server.t, revision 352
	* t/60_net_server.t, revision 352
	Some of the work in armoring the test suites against            
	server-death changed the counts on tests and on call-counts in  
	the system.status method. Some explicit re-starts didn't help.

	* t/50_client.t, revision 328
	* t/60_net_server.t, revision 328
	Related to the main change of RT ticket #30849, fixes potential 
	problem in the creation of temporary file names if a test       
	script is run directly from the "t" directory. While at it,     
	added a line with the Subversion "Id" keyword and set the       
	"svn:keywords" property on all test scripts. The code-fix is    
	based on suggestions from Jörg Meltzer <joerg@joergmeltzer.de>. 

	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm, revision 329
	Per RT ticket #30849, fix problem caused by having colons in    
	temp-file names. Fix largely from patch suggested by Jörg       
	Meltzer <joerg@joergmeltzer.de>.                                

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 331
	Applied a modified form of a patch submitted by Mike Rylander   
	<miker@n2bb.com> to make things work under SSL.                 

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 332
	* t/41_server_hang.t, revision 332 (added)
	Fixed the bug in RPC::XML::Server::process_request() could lead 
	to an infinite loop if the client shuts down the socket before  
	the full request is sent. Added a test script specific to this  
	bug, to catch it if it reappears.                               

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 333
	* t/10_data.t, revision 333
	Per RT ticket #30042, made a do-nothing branch in               
	RPC::XML::smart_encode actually die with an error when a        
	reference-type is passed in that cannot be converted. Added two 
	tests to cover this, and took the opportunity to convert        
	10_data.t to Test::More.                                        

	* t/40_server.t, revision 334
	* t/50_client.t, revision 334
	Applied a patch from Chris Darroch to make the spawning of      
	servers work in some corner-cases that were failing. All that   
	was required was explicit specification of 'localhost' in the   
	instantiation.                                                  

	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm, revision 336
	* t/20_parser.t, revision 336
	Applied a patch from Masatake Daimon (大門正岳) to improve the      
	performance of the parser by reducing the (vast) number of      
	string-concat operations. During this change, re-wrote the      
	parser tests to use Test::More and have better diagnostics.     

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 337
	* t/40_server.t, revision 337
	Per RT ticket #29351, fixed a bug that caused a server to       
	incorrectly report the location and cause of an XML parsing     
	error in the request. The actual bug and solution were          
	different than initially reported in the ticket.                

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 338
	* t/10_data.t, revision 338
	Per RT ticket #31818, fix to the XML serialization of double    
	values to conform to the XML-RPC spec, as it does not allow for 
	exponential notation. This also required changes to the tests,  
	as values were no longer being auto-truncated at 5 decimal      
	places. Also finished cleaning up the t/10_data.t test suite    
	with diagnostic messages on the tests that had not previously   
	gotten them.                                                    

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 339
	* t/20_parser.t, revision 339
	In response to concerns raised by a report of parsing problems, 
	added XML entity encoding for ' and " (&apos; and &quot;) to    
	the base RPC::XML module, and added a test to the parser suite  
	to make sure it is correctly turning all core XML entities back 
	into characters during the parsing process.                     

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 341
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 341
	* t/40_server.t, revision 341
	RT ticket #34557: Provide access to client-side connection info 
	to methods called on the server, by placing the data from       
	get_peeraddr() (as abstracted through existing methods in       
	HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn and Apache::Connection) into localized 
	keys on the server object, as is already done with the          
	method_name and signature pseudo-keys. Tests added to           
	40_server.t and docs updated.

0.59	Friday June 30, 2006, 01:48:37 AM -0600

	* t/10_data.t, revision 1.10
	Eliminated the source of some "Modification of a read-only      
	value..." errors. Patch from Juan Camacho.                      

	* t/01_pod.t, revision 1.1 (added)
	* t/02_pod_coverage.t, revision 1.1 (added)
	Two new unit-test suites added; the first checks the validity   
	of the POD docs in each module (correctness tests), the other   
	checks that POD covers all the publically-visible API routines  
	(coverage tests).                                               

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 1.28
	* lib/Apache/RPC/Status.pm, revision 1.6
	* lib/RPC/XML/Function.pm, revision 1.4
	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm, revision 1.13
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 1.44
	Fixes to POD documentation (and/or inline comments) as          
	uncovered by the added POD-oriented unit tests.                 

	* MANIFEST, revision 1.17
	* README.apache (deleted)
	The README.apache file is no longer relevant.                   

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 1.29
	Fixed the logic around the setting of $no_def in new(); it was  
	handling the no_default method-argument backwards. Found by     
	Eric Cholet.                                                    

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.36
	* t/10_data.t, revision 1.11
	Applied a patch from Jos Boumans to add flexibility to the      
	smart_encode() hack that tries to match bare Perl data to RPC   
	classes. At the same time, added documentation of the $ENCODE   
	global variable in the documentation.                           

0.58	Thursday May 12, 2005, 03:24:23 AM -0700

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.35
	* t/10_data.t, revision 1.9
	Applied patches from Stephen Veiss to fix a small bug in the    
	encoding method of RPC::XML::string. Trying to encode the       
	literal string "0" would result in a null string. The patches   
	provided the fix and a specific test-case for the related suite.

	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm, revision 1.13
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 1.43
	Applied a patch from Mike Pomraning to allow user-level         
	functions to return RPC::XML::fault objects directly without    
	them being further wrapped by intermediate layers.              

	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm, revision 1.14
	Implemented a modified version of a patch from Lubomir Host     
	that addresses an intermittent IOCTL problem when reading XPL   
	files.                                                          

	* Makefile.PL, revision 1.38
	Incremented package version number and put in warning of the    
	impending move to XML::LibXML.                                  

0.57	Friday December 24, 2004, 03:02:48 AM -0800

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 1.27
	Some minor changes to how values are read from the              
	configuration, to reduce "use of uninitialized value" warnings  
	in regex operations.                                            

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.34
	* t/10_data.t, revision 1.8
	Based on a report from Brian Phillips, made adjustments in the  
	smart_encode helper-routine to deal with blessed references.    
	Anything that is derived from HASH or ARRAY is encoded as a     
	struct or array, respectively. Anything derived from SCALAR is  
	dereferenced and encoded as per usual. Carried this over to the 
	class constructors, with special attention to the               
	RPC::XML::simple_type class. Added tests to the suite for all   
	of this, as well.

	* methods/status.code, revision 1.4
	* methods/status.help, revision 1.2
	* t/40_server.t, revision 1.8
	The "system.status" method (both the general one and the one    
	that is specific to Apache) now recognizes an optional boolean  
	parameter that can keep the status call from counting against   
	the "total_requests" struct value. This is to allow external    
	monitors (status, health, etc.) to use that call without        
	running up the value of that field needlessly.                  

0.56	Thursday December  9, 2004, 01:07:00 AM -0800

	* etc/make_method, revision 1.10
	Small change to the generated XML, to add an "encoding" setting 
	to the XML preamble.                                            

	* t/10_data.t, revision 1.7
	* t/60_net_server.t, revision 1.4
	Very minor changes, to make the test work with older Perls      
	and/or Test modules.                                            

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.31
	Add "encoding" settings to all XML preambles, and make the      
	scalar variable "$RPC::XML::ENCODING" an importable symbol,     
	should users want to change the default encoding. Not currently 
	documented, since this is technically a break from the XML-RPC  
	spec.                                                           

	* Makefile.PL, revision 1.35
	* t/50_client.t, revision 1.8
	Traced a bug that was causing test failures in 50_client.t to a 
	bug in version 5.800 of the LWP package. Now, Makefile.PL       
	explicitly requires 5.801 or higher, and the test suite skips   
	the two tests that are broken by it, in cases where the system  
	is still at 5.800 or older.                                     

	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm, revision 1.21
	Tightened some numeric comparisons (for deciding to compress    
	and/or spool to a file), and corrected a typo in an error       
	message.                                                        

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.32
	Adding the encoding to the request and response blocks messed   
	up some of the tests in the 10_data.t and 15_serialize.t        
	suites. Fixed.

0.55	Tuesday November 30, 2004, 01:16:57 AM -0800

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 1.39
	Fix from Thomax G. to the loop-invariance near line 1403, for a 
	bug that mostly appears with openACS-based clients.             

	* t/60_net_server.t, revision 1.3
	Clarify in the message emitted why the tests are skipped when   
	Net::Server is not available.                                   

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 1.40
	Fix based on input from several sources: The Content-Encoding   
	header was not being set correctly for responses when           
	compression was applied to the response message.                

	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm, revision 1.10
	Applied a fix from the Debian maintainer of this package for    
	their distribution, David Parrish: auto-reloading of methods    
	was not actually stuffing the new data into the calling object. 

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 1.25
	Applied a patch from a user to fix a problem with reading       
	PerlSetVar values withing a <Location> block (worked fine in    
	<Perl> blocks), as well as a small addition to the examples in  
	the docs.                                                       

	* ChangeLog.xml, revision 1.1 (added)
	* MANIFEST, revision 1.16
	Added this file (ChangeLog.xml) to the distribution.            

0.54	Wednesday April 14, 2004, 04:43:56 AM -0700

	* Makefile.PL, revision 1.33
	Extended $CLEAN to also remove *.ppd files, and bumped the      
	package version to 0.54.                                        

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.30
	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm, revision 1.9
	Applied a patch from Tim Peoples that does three things: the    
	301 error code in RPC::XML::Procedure::call now includes        
	signature info when a signature mismatch occurs.                
	RPC::XML::smart_encode turns undef values into zero-length      
	RPC::XML::string objects. Lastly, the                           
	RPC::XML::string::as_string method turns undef into null values 
	as well.                                                        

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.28
	* t/10_data.t, revision 1.6
	Small change to the XML character-escaping in                   
	RPC::XML::string's as_string method, so that a lookup-table is  
	used. The same table is now used to escape keys in structs, as  
	well. Added tests to cover this. This was suggested by          
	Johnathan Kupferer.                                             

	* t/20_parser.t, revision 1.3
	Made a small change for the sake of syntax pedantry.            

	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm, revision 1.20
	Fix to the error-handling for a failed LWP::UserAgent->request  
	call send_request (thanks to Jasper Cramwinckel). Also got a    
	small glitch covered in one of the calls to the inflate()       
	method in Compress::Zlib. Thanks to John Tobing for that one.   

	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm, revision 1.11
	Dropped a regex-compare in favor of a string-compare for the    
	special case of the XML tag being dateTime.iso8601. In some     
	locales, the 'lc' caused problems. This is near line 288.       

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 1.23
	Applied a patch to Apache::RPC::Server (supplied by Tim         
	Peoples) to support "NoCompression" as a PerlSetVar directive,  
	the function of which is to disable compression support upon    
	demand.                                                         

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 1.24
	Fixed two minor typo errors in the docs, the names of two of    
	the PerlSetVar directives.                                      

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.29
	Added to the docs the fact that struct keys are now escaped.    
	Also put some coverage in the docs on the two ways of           
	initializing a struct object.                                   

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 1.38
	Applied a patch from Chris Darroch to allow better handling of  
	arguments in RPC::XML::Server::server_loop. While the           
	HTTP::Daemon portion was fine with collapsing the arg list into 
	a hash, the Net::Server portion actually has documented         
	behavior when it sees the same argument more than once, and     
	collapsing to a hash caused these extra arguments to be lost.   

0.53	Tuesday February 25, 2003, 01:12:11 AM -0800

	* t/40_server.t, revision 1.7
	Eliminate a warning under 5.00503.                              

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.25
	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm, revision 1.19
	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm, revision 1.10
	* t/50_client.t, revision 1.7
	Changes to the opening of files for base64 data. The existing   
	method didn't work under 5.00503.                               

	* t/15_serialize.t, revision 1.3
	Added consideration to the filehandle-length tests for Win-ish  
	offsets.                                                        

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.26
	Added a forgotten binmode() call to an just-opened filehandle   
	in the base64-to-file support.                                  

0.52	Monday February 10, 2003, 01:37:05 AM -0800

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 1.37
	Really got the warning in RPC::XML::Server.pm this time.        
	Really. Also got some potential errors that seem to be          
	overlooked under auto-loading but appear when auto-loading is   
	disabled.                                                       

	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm, revision 1.18
	Fixed a potentially-confusing problem in the example code       
	within the RPC::XML::Client man page, just under "SYNOPSIS".    

	* spec.in, revision 1.4
	More work to the spec.in RPM specfile template. The             
	Provides/Requires list should be a lot cleaner now, and it also 
	builds packages under rpm 4.1, now.                             

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm, revision 1.22
	Fixed a lurking bug in the Apache::RPC::Server class that was   
	not setting the headers properly on responses. Probably lived   
	this long because no one else but me was using it, and my       
	client is lax enough to ignore it.                              

0.51	Thursday January 30, 2003, 12:49:07 AM -0800

	* t/11_base64_fh.t, revision 1.4
	Removed an extraneous print line in t/11_base64_fh that caused  
	a warning on some systems.                                      

	* t/11_base64_fh.t, revision 1.5
	* t/50_client.t, revision 1.6
	Fixed calls to skip() in the test suites so that they work with 
	older versions of the Test module.                              

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm, revision 1.24
	* t/10_data.t, revision 1.5
	* t/11_base64_fh.t, revision 1.6
	Calls to the encode_base64 routine from MIME::Base64 now pass a 
	zero- length second argument, to suppress newlines between      
	Base64 lines when stringifying the RPC::XML::base64 objects.    
	This is to accomodate a broken Java XML-RPC package.            

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm, revision 1.36
	Force a default value for the compress_re attribute in          
	RPC::XML::Server when none is otherwise present. All my tests   
	have had Compress::Zlib available, but when it isn't the        
	compress_re attribute was triggering warnings when used in a    
	regex.                                                          

0.50	Monday January 27, 2003, 03:24:45 AM -0800

	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm
	Changed the usage of =head3 directives in the manual page for   
	RPC::XML::Procedure to a =over/=back block instead. The =head3  
	directive requires a newer set of pod utilities, and would mean 
	the package had trouble building on 5.005 installations.        

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	* t/11_base64_fh.t
	Extended the RPC::XML::base64 class to allow for and handle     
	being given a filehandle object instead of straight data. The   
	object is kept as an open filehandle, and the buffer position   
	is always noted and reset when operated on, so that other parts 
	of the process using the handle don't get surprised. Added      
	tests in t/11_base64_fh.t to exercise this.                     

	* lib/RPC/xML.pm
	* t/15_serialize.t
	Added a serialize() method to all the data classes in           
	preparation for changing the client and server modules to       
	stream XML over the line rather than print it using in-memory   
	strings. Added test suite t/15_serialize.t to exercise this.    

	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm
	* t/20_parser.t
	Modified RPC::XML::Parser to accept arguments to new() that     
	instruct it to spool Base64 data to a filehandle, using the new 
	capabilities of the base64 class described previously. Added    
	tests to t/20_parser.t and support for the parameters to the    
	constructors of the client and base server classes. Documented  
	all around.                                                     

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	Re-engineered the test for the "bytes" pragma in RPC::XML, so   
	that it now works with Perl 5.005.                              

	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	Fixed the credentials() method in RPC::XML::Client.             

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	All the internal use of object attributes in RPC::XML::Client   
	now use accessors instead of the hash keys directly, to make it 
	easier to sub-class the package. The same was done in           
	RPC::XML::Server and to some degree in Apache::RPC::Server. The 
	server classes are more likely to have problems, though.        

	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	The parsing of incoming data in the client and both server      
	classes is now done to a streaming XML parser, eliminating the  
	need for the full message to ever be in memory at once.         
	Likewise, the client and server classes have new attributes and 
	accessor methods to allow them to spool outgoing messages to    
	files if the messages threaten to be too large to keep in       
	memory (this is best used when dealing with a lot of Base64     
	data that is being dealt with directly on disk as well).        

0.46	Sunday December 29, 2002, 11:39:05 PM -0800

	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	Applied a patch from Andrew Langmead to fix a bug in the uri()  
	method of RPC::XML::Client. Prior, retrieving the value could   
	accidentally reset it. Applied another fix from him to prevent  
	a possible warning.                                             

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Applied another patch to better handle testing of the           
	availability of compression in the client.                      

	* Makefile.PL
	Moving around some of the RPM spec-file generation caused       
	problems with some people trying to build the package if        
	spec.in was missing. Fixed this in Makefile.PL.                 

	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm
	Fix to RPC::XML::Procedure per tip from Stig Porsgaard, to fix  
	the reading of 'signature' arguments to new() when providing    
	all the proc data directly. Reported by others as well, but     
	Stig nailed it down to a specific line.                         

0.45	Tuesday October 29, 2002, 09:06:00 PM -0800

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	Fixed a problem in the test-usage of the bytes pragma in        
	RPC::XML, reported by Marc Jauvin.                              

	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm
	Closed a potential security hole in the parsing of external     
	entities, pointed out by Gregory Steuck.                        

0.43	Sunday August 18, 2002, 10:19:30 PM -0700

	* methods/methodSignature.code
	* t/40_server.t
	* t/60_net_server.t
	Changed methods/methodSignature.code, t/40_server.t and         
	t/60_net_server.t so that the provided system.methodSignature   
	follows the accepted API (returns a list of lists, rather than  
	list of strings). Pointed out by Bjoern Stierand.               

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	Added a missing helper (RPC_I4) to RPC::XML.pm.                 

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
	Fixed a bad bug with the newly-added compression support in     
	Apache::RPC::Server::handler. Because $self was defined         
	earlier, strict failed to point out that my object in that      
	scope was called $srv, rather than $self. And $self->compress   
	didn't work, amazingly enough. Found and reported by Scott Fagg.

	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	Added a credentials() method to the RPC::XML::Client class to   
	set Basic Authentication credentials on the underlying          
	LWP::UserAgent object. Per suggestion and sample implementation 
	from Stuart Clark.                                              

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Fixed a docs-nit in RPC::XML::Server, and did some major        
	clean-up in the docs for RPC::XML. In particular, added         
	documentation for one of the data class methods that had been   
	overlooked ("type").                                            

0.42	Thursday August  1, 2002, 12:51:12 AM -0700

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
	Changed the test in Apache::RPC::Server of the Content-type     
	header so that it accepts a header that contains "text/xml", as 
	opposed to only accepting a header that exactly equalled that   
	string. Allows for things like SOAP::Lite's XMLRPC::Lite which  
	include a charset in the header.                                

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	time2iso8601() in the RPC::XML module now allows defaulting of  
	the $time argument to time() (which means no timezone           
	specification).                                                 

	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm
	Found a bug in RPC::XML::Parser where base64 data being parsed  
	in a request/response message wasn't being properly passed to   
	the c'tor for RPC::XML::base64. Reported by Chris Brierley.     

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
	Added a line in Apache::RPC::Server to set the Content-Type     
	header on HEAD responses. Apache won't take this from the usual 
	header() method, it has to be explicitly set with               
	content_type().                                                 

	* t/40_server.t
	Two of the tests in t/40_server.t could cause fatal errors      
	since a return value wasn't tested for ref-ness before having a 
	method called on it. Fixed.                                     

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Compress::Zlib-based compression is now supported in            
	RPC::XML::Server, RPC::XML::Client and Apache::RPC::Server. It  
	should be compatible with the XMLRPC::Lite package's            
	compression.                                                    

0.41	Wednesday May 22, 2002, 02:50:47 AM -0700

	* lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm
	Wrapped the call to XML::Parser::parse (lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm)  
	in an eval {} so that parse failures don't kill a server or     
	client. Reported by Kevin Greene.                               

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	An intended clone-operation in RPC::XML::response::new          
	(lib/RPC/XML.pm) was never actually written, which allowed for  
	a corner case that could result in new() return undef when it   
	shouldn't. Related to the bug reported by Sergey Scherbinin.    

	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm
	The RPC::XML::Procedure::call method (lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm) 
	had one error-check loop that was returning a full              
	RPC::XML::response object, instead of just a RPC::XML::fault.   
	Reported by Sergey Scherbinin.                                  

0.40	Saturday May  4, 2002, 12:42:18 AM -0700

	* *
	Fixed some grammar problems in error messages, and some         
	formatting.                                                     

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
	Fixed a bug in the new() method of Apache::RPC::Server where it 
	was expecting the value of the "apache" key to be an object of  
	the Apache::Server class, but it was actually getting an object 
	of the Apache class.                                            

	* etc/make_method
	* etc/rpc-method.dtd
	* lib/RPC/XML/Function.pm (added)
	Created RPC::XML::Function class, which is a type of            
	server-side encapsulator that doesn't bother with signature     
	tests of any kind. The DTD and make_method tool support the new 
	type.                                                           

	* etc/make_method
	Changed the encoding of the Perl code in etc/make_method as     
	follows: If the code does not already contain either of the two 
	sequences, ']]>' or '__DATA__', then the code is wrapped in a   
	<![CDATA[ ]]> section, with #!/usr/bin/perl (actually,          
	$Config{startperl}) at the head and __DATA__ at the end.        
	Besides leaving the Perl code readable, the *.xpl files can now 
	be syntax-checked with "perl -cx". Thanks to the mod_perl guys  
	for this idea, cribbed from their manual page.                  

	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Abstracted some of the invocation code out of the server class  
	and into the RPC::XML::Procedure class, where it really         
	belonged. This aided in further eliminating redundancy in the   
	server class in the same general area. I may yet want to tune   
	this area, but I'm a good deal happier with the reduction in    
	complexity and repetition.                                      

0.44	Tuesday April 30, 2002, 11:44:08 PM -0700

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	Cleaned up the exports list in RPC::XML.pm, which still had     
	remnants from when this package was intended to extend XML-RPC. 
	There were no routines to match the symbols, but the potential  
	for error was there.                                            

	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Fixed a typo in the docs for RPC::XML::Client, and some         
	documentation goofs in RPC::XML::Server (regarding the timeout  
	method/option). A few doc fixes in RPC::XML::Procedure, for     
	good measure.                                                   

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	Implemented two fixes sent in by Marc Liyanage: a fix for       
	setting the Content-Length headers on messages that takes the   
	length in bytes rather than characters; the second is a fix     
	around the compression support that makes certain an undef      
	isn't evaluated against the regex.                              

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	The above added an exported function to RPC::XML, so that got   
	documented. In the process, it occurred to me to document the   
	helper functions like RPC_BOOLEAN, RPC_DOUBLE, etc.             

0.37	Friday March 22, 2002, 10:16:08 PM -0800

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Applied a patch to RPC::XML::Server from Tino Wuensche          
	(<tino_wuensche@yahoo.com>) that fixed some of the              
	signal-handling and exit-case-handling in server_loop().        

	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm
	Fixed a bug in RPC::XML::Procedure found by a user (a former    
	co-worker from my Denver days, coincidentally enough) that      
	would trigger when auto_methods was set to 1 on a server        
	object, but the request had no matching file anywhere in the    
	search path.                                                    

0.36	Tuesday January 29, 2002, 12:11:30 PM -0800

	* MANIFEST
	The file util.pl in the t directory was accidentally omitted    
	from the 0.35 release. This release is meant only to correct    
	that oversight.                                                 

0.35	Sunday January 27, 2002, 04:29:19 PM -0800

	* etc/make_method
	Fixed a small bug in make_method that would have caused a       
	failure if anyone used the command-line switches to specify     
	data, rather than a base-file (specifically, the handling of    
	the --code argument). Also clarified a few places in the man    
	page.                                                           

	* lib/Apache/RPC/status.code
	* methods/methodHelp.code
	* methods/status.code
	Found bugs in both versions of the system.status server method  
	(both the basic and the Apache flavor). Both were neglecting to 
	set the "methods_known" value. Also found a bug in              
	system.methodHelp. Amazing what writing the regression tests    
	can uncover.                                                    

	* lib/RPC/XML/Method.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm (added)
	RPC::XML::Method is now a skeleton file, slated to be removed   
	by or before 1.0. It has been renamed to RPC::XML::Procedure,   
	and the RPC::XML::Method class is declared as an empty subclass 
	of the RPC::XML::Procedure class. Procedures differ from        
	methods in that they do not get the server object instance as a 
	first parameter in the list that gets passed in.                

	* etc/make_method
	* etc/rpc-method.dtd
	* ex/linux.proc.cpuinfo.code
	* ex/linux.proc.meminfo.code
	Support for RPC::XML::Procedure (and general procedure vs.      
	method) added to the DTD and the make_method tool. All the      
	routines in the ex/ directory are declared as procedures, to    
	further illustrate the concept.                                 

	* lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	When code blocks for XPL files are eval'd, they are given a     
	"package" statement to force subsequent calls to be in the      
	RPC::XML::Procedure namespace, rather than defaulting to main   
	(a potentially dangerous assumption). The docs on               
	routine-calling in RPC::XML::Server have been updated to        
	discuss this.                                                   

	* t/40_server.t
	Many more tests added to the suite for RPC::XML::Server.        

	* t/50_client.t (added)
	Created the test suite for RPC::XML::Client.                    

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	RPC::XML::Client no longer returns a full RPC::XML::response    
	object from any of its routines. Rather, simple_request still   
	does what it always has, and send_request now returns a         
	data-type value. All the data-type classes have a method called 
	"is_fault" that returns false for all except (of course)        
	RPC::XML::fault. This lets callers of send_request test the     
	return value to see if it is a fault.                           

	* lib/RPC/XML/Client.pm
	* t/50_client.t
	Added callback support for errors and faults to the             
	RPC::XML::Client class. This allows programmers to tie specific 
	actions to cases where a call returns a RPC::XML::fault object, 
	or an outright error.                                           

	* t/60_net_server.t (added)
	Created a separate test suite for RPC::XML::Server when used in 
	conjunction with the Net::Server package (it skips if the       
	latter is not installed on the system).                         

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Almost all of the method-manipulation routines in               
	RPC::XML::Server (all but add_default_methods()) now have       
	counterparts called by the same name after s/method/proc/. This 
	is purely for syntactical sugar and symmetry. Except in the     
	case of add_proc(), where it actually ensures that a            
	hash-reference calling convention is geared correctly to add a  
	RPC::XML::Procedure object rather than RPC::XML::Method.        

0.30	Thursday January  3, 2002, 01:57:29 AM -0800

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
	Apache::RPC::Server::list_servers no longer sorts the list      
	before returning it. No reason to assume it matters, or to levy 
	that tax against those who don't care.                          

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	RPC::XML::Server::url now constructs saner strings for HTTPS    
	and for HTTP on port 80.                                        

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	The new() method in RPC::XML::Server wasn't quite handling the  
	"host" and "port" arguments that Apache::RPC::Server sent it    
	correctly.                                                      

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Added a patch to the RPC::XML::Server class from Christopher    
	Blizzard (blizzard@redhat.com) to allow control over the        
	timeout interval that HTTP::Daemon uses in answering new        
	connections.                                                    

	* Makefile.PL
	Replaced a GNU Make-centric dependancy rule for the XPL files   
	with a more portable .SUFFIXES-based one. This is unfortunate,  
	as the % syntax of GNU make is much cleaner. But GNU Make isn't 
	universal. Yet.                                                 

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Status.pm (added)
	This release marks the debut of Apache::RPC::Status, a monitor  
	similar in nature and design to Apache::Status, for running RPC 
	servers under Apache/mod_perl. See the manual page for details. 

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
	Documentation for Apache::RPC::Server was updated based on      
	trials and travails in trying to actually set up a              
	configuration inside <Perl> blocks. This isn't very clear in    
	the mod_perl documentation, but at least the docs for this      
	module reflect exactly what I have configured on my development 
	box, so I know it works.                                        

0.29	Sunday December  2, 2001, 10:41:39 PM -0800

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Added share_methods(), copy_methods() and delete_method() calls 
	to the RPC::XML::Server class (and thus to the Apache class as  
	well). Had already added an INSTALL_DIR method to retrieve the  
	class-specific installation dir to the Apache class, so         
	mirrored it here, as well.                                      

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
	Added list_servers() static method to Apache::RPC::Server, to   
	allow for abstract retrieval of the ID-tags of the current      
	known servers. This is mainly so Apache::RPC::Status can use it 
	in conjunction with get_server() to examine the server objects  
	for the sake of stats and such.                                 

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Added list_methods() to RPC::XML::Server, to list the object's  
	known (published) methods by name. Mainly for use in the        
	regression suites, but worth documenting in the API in case     
	someone else finds it useful.                                   

	* methods/introspection.code
	* methods/listMethods.code
	* methods/methodHelp.code
	* methods/methodSignature.code
	Four of the provided methods in the introspection API           
	(system.introspection, system.listMethods, system.methodHelp    
	and system.methodSignature) needed to be updated to use the     
	newer API for the XML::RPC::Method class when retrieving        
	information from the server.                                    

	* t/30_method.t (added)
	* t/40_server.t (added)
	Started the test suites for RPC::XML::Method and                
	RPC::XML::Server. The tests that are delivered as part of this  
	build are not fully complete, but should be a reasonable start.

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	Found a subtle-but-nasty bug in the handling of                 
	RPC::XML::string objects. Thanks to Dominic Mitchell            
	<dom@semantico.com> for pointing me in the right direction.     

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	Started down the path of making the suite as a whole geared     
	more towards real use than illustrative example. The XML        
	data-classes now no longer use indention (or any superfluous    
	whitespace) in their stringification. This shortened the code   
	quite a bit, and will also mean shorter messages. This could    
	not have been done cleanly without the tests in t/10_data.t.    

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
	* lib/RPC/XML/Method.pm (added)
	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Extracted the method-manipulation code into a new class, called 
	RPC::XML::Method. This should make method-sharing easier, and   
	pull a lot of method-specific code out of RPC::XML::Server and  
	Apache::RPC::Server.                                            

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
	Clarified some issues in the new() constructor of the           
	Apache::RPC::Server class, and also changed the calling         
	convention. It no longer treats the first few arguments in any  
	special way at all. The arguments are all consistently taken as 
	option/value pairs, just as with RPC::XML::Server. The          
	documentation reflects this. This may break things built on the 
	old style, but in the long run it should prove much better.     

0.27	Sunday July  8, 2001, 04:25:51 PM -0700

	* lib/RPC/XML.pm
	Removed a -w warning from RPC/XML.pm. Fixed some cases in the   
	new() method of RPC::XML::boolean that would have permitted     
	invalid data. Added two convenience methods to RPC::XML::fault, 
	called code() and string(), that fetch the faultCode and        
	faultString member values as native Perl values. The            
	RPC::XML::base64 class was using the wrong container tags in    
	the as_string method.                                           

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Clarified and expanded some of the documentation in             
	RPC/XML/Server.pm.                                              

	* Makefile.PL
	Adjusted the PREREQ_PM hash in Makefile.PL so that it correctly 
	looks for LWP, and also looks for File::Spec 0.8 or newer       
	(needed to ensure that the splitpath() method is available).    

	* t/00_load.t
	* t/10_data.t
	* t/20_parser.t
	Cleaned up the load-tests (t/00_load.t) to use the Test         
	harnessing package. Added test suites for the RPC::XML data     
	classes (t/10_data.t, 96 tests) and the RPC::XML::Parser        
	container-class (t/20_parser.t, 7 tests).                       

0.26	Monday June 25, 2001, 10:30:18 PM -0700

	* lib/RPC/XML/Server.pm
	Fixed some doc errors in RPC::XML::Server. Mainly things I had  
	simplified, but not updated the docs to reflect.                

	* lib/Apache/RPC/Server.pm
	Added a fair amount to the docs in Apache::RPC::Server. In      
	particular, a new section was added that illustrates using      
	<Perl> configuration sections to create the server objects in   
	the master Apache process, so that they are automatically       
	inherited by children.
