Revision history for Perl extension HTML::Embperl.
0.18-beta
- Added caching of p-code. Now all perl-code is compiled only once. On the
second request the compiled p-code is used. This makes, for example, the
table.htm from the test about 4 times faster on the second run then it was in
previous versions of Embperl. Also tables and loops are faster in the first
request, because the code is only compiled in the first iteration.
- <Select>/<option> is now handeld like <input>, this means that if a value
for the select exists in %fdat, the corresponding option is automaticly
selected.
- Added support for table heading (<th> tag). If all cells in a row are surounded
by <th>/</th> instead of <td>/</td> the row is interpreted as column headings and
printed only once. row headings not support yet, but in one of the next versions...
- Added support for multipart/formdata to support fileupload. Embperl detects
automaticly multipart/formdata and let CGI.pm handle it. The results are also
present in @ffld and %fdat like for normal formdata. See CGI.pm for more docs.
(Thanks to eigenstr@mixi.net for the idea and material)
- Now all the output is kept in memory and the http-header are send when the
processing is finish. This gives the ability to set http-header (only under mod_perl)
within the page. Also now the Content-Length could be send in the http-header.
(Thanks to eigenstr@mixi.net for the idea and material)
- Added tests for mod_perl mode and running as cgi-script, if compilation
for mod_perl is enabled (Thanks to Doug MacEachern for lots of ideas
and code I have borrowed from his mod_perl)
- Removed "= true" in MailFormTo which caused a warning and don't declare
syserr_list in ep.h on FreeBSD (Thanks to Michael Fuhr for the hints)
- Added SYSNOPSIS section to docs to avoid pod2man warning and changed
apache/src/regx to apache/src/regex in Makefile.PL (Thanks to Bob Wilkinson)
- Splitted C-sources in some more source files
- Fix two minor memory leaks. Now the Embperl test suite can run 1000 times and
more without makeing the httpd grow!
0.17-beta 30 Aug 97
- Removed some Compiler Warnings (Thanks to Ian Kallen for reporting them)
0.16-beta 29 Aug 97

* Option ExecCGI must be set
* must not a directory
- Added a little bit more docs about how to view Embperl lofile with

- Added declaration for error dependend stuff to compile on solaris, check errno before

(Thanks to Dan Peterson)
- Switched I/O to PerlIO if supported by installed Perl version.
Should now work with sfio (not tested yet)
- Added possibilty to include Embperl commands in all html tags
(did not works for body, table and tr tags in previous versions)
- Preserve case of HTML tags
- Do not interpret unknown html tags anyhow, to handle "<" characters
which do not start a html tag better
- Do not display the time needed for the request if CLOCKS_PER_SEC not
defined (e.g. SunOS - Thanks to Dan Peterson)
- Added apache_xx/src/regx to include path, to avoid problems when
apache was build with it's own regx library
- Show which tags mismatch in error message (table, dir, select etc.)
- Fixed a bug which caused "[" character even printed when in a false
if path
0.15-beta 11 July 1997

than gnu-c compiler
- Insert a missing return in oputc caused a SIGSEV on Solaris (Thanks to Dan Peterson)
- Checked return code of Logfile open, to prevent a SIGSEV when cannot
write to logfile and write an errormessage in servers errorlog (Thanks to Dan Peterson)
- Errors will also be logged to the servers error log (written to stderr)
0.14-beta 30 Juni 1997
- adding 8192 to EMBPERL_DEBUG and setting EMBPERL_VIRTLOG will add a link
to Embperl output, so you can directly view the right part of the logfile

- Add the possibility of handling multiple form fields with same name

0.13-beta April 26 1997
- Move EPENTRY (embperl_init) down to avoid crash when compiled with
-DEPDEBUGALL
- Add #undefs for stdio function to compile with perl > 5.003
Note: This is a quick hack, and will be changed to use PerlIO in
one of the next releases, so we can tie stdout of Embperl
- Add pids (to distinguish between muliplite requests) and time to
logfile output
- Make many functions static and names of externals more unique to
avoid conflicts of symbolnames with other modules
- If file not found return status 404 instead of 500
- Add Apache::Embperl so the module shows at CPAN also under
module/by-module/Apache/ as suggested by Doug MacEachern
