The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

Changes for version 1.51 - 2002-09-08

  • Individual:
    • conf/sample-server.ini, conf/sample-server.perl:
      • See UPGRADE for details on these:
        • o Add configuration keys 'cache_info.data.directory_depth' and 'cache_info.data.cleanup' o Rename keys 'cache_info.data.SPOPS' and 'cache_info.data.expire' o Delete keys 'cache_info.ipc.*' and 'cache_info.data.use_ipc'
    • doc/caching.html:
      • Create introduction to caching in OI.
    • OpenInteract.pm:
      • Modify how we setup the cache -- what parameters are used, etc. (Part of caching implementation.)
    • OpenInteract/Cache.pm:
      • Rewrite big chunks of class. Caching now uses an OI object rather than just class methods that can grab an cache implementation object from the ether.
    • OpenInteract/Cache/File.pm:
      • Rewrite to reflect new caching changes, plus use Cache::FileCache rather than the ancient File::Cache. Get rid of old AUTOLOAD stuff.
    • OpenInteract/Cache/IPC.pm:
      • Dump.
    • OpenInteract/Handler/GenericDispatcher.pm:
      • Create caching and cache checking methods for subclasses. You can use these if your module subclasses this class OR if it subclasses OpenInteract::CommonHandler. See intro to caching (doc/caching.html) and POD for this class.
    • OpenInteract/Session/(DBI|File|SQLite).pm:
      • Only return a non-empty session. (Probably unnecessary, but just to be sure...)
    • OpenInteract/Template/Plugin.pm:
      • Fix 'box_add' so that it passes the 'remove' parameter properly
    • OpenInteract/Template/Provider.pm:
      • Return a better error message if we can't find a template in _load().
    • script/oi_manage:
      • Add deprecation message for commands dealing with templates.
  • Packages updated:
    • OpenInteract 1.50 -> 1.50
    • base: 1.70 -> 1.70 base_box: 1.00 -> 1.01 base_error: 1.43 -> 1.43 base_group: 1.37 -> 1.37 base_page: 1.00 -> 1.00 base_security: 1.58 -> 1.58 base_template: 2.21 -> 2.21 base_theme: 1.35 -> 1.35 base_user: 1.58 -> 1.58 lookup: 1.00 -> 1.00 object_activity: 1.00 -> 1.00 results_manage: 1.00 -> 1.00 system_doc: 1.32 -> 1.32 classified: 1.36 -> 1.36 full_text: 1.32 -> 1.32 news: 1.40 -> 1.48
