Major changes since 0.55:
+ Merged SOAP::MIME into SOAP::Lite's core
+ Cleaned up the UI for the Makefile.PL script - it now detects and
indicated whether certain Perl modules have been detected. The
table displaying installation preferences has been substantially
cleaned up, the code is much more modular and relies on a simple
data structure representing potential module dependencies.
+ Made the Makefile.PL script iterative - meaning, the user will be
continually be presented with their preferences until they
explicity choose to accept them and continue (bug 747295)
+ Differentiate between xsd:int and xsd:long to fix interoperability
bug with Java Web services
! Fixed MIME interoperability bug with Apache Axis - Axis' MIME
parser requires that MIME boundaries are terminiated by a CRLF
character where the MIME::Tools package only outputs a CR
character. A patch was integrated into the MIME::Tools module
which allows SOAP::Lite to specify its own MIME Boundary delimiter
! SOAP Faultcodes are now properly typed a xsd:QName, whereas
before they were xsd:string - to be honest, they are left untyped
so that toolkits can serialize them according to the schema
(bug 747283)
! Fixed documentation error around turning on a trace for multiple
"channels" (bug 747310)
! Disabled SOAPStruct (bug 747316)
! Fixed XML::Parser::Expat vulnerability (bug 747265)
! Added item in TROUBLESHOOTING section explaining that there is a
bug in Perl 5.8 that prevents +autodispatch from working properly.
The workaround is to use dispatch_from instead (bug 747290)
! Fixed warning when autodispatched call has no parameters
(bug 747286)
! Fixed warning when empty SOAPAction specified (bug 747278)
! Turned off HTTP keep alive patch by default, however users can now
turn on the patch by setting the constant PATCH_HTTP_KEEPALIVE to
1 (bug 747281)
! Removed dependency on the URI module for non-HTTP transports
(bug 747306)
SOAP::Lite for Perl is a collection of Perl modules which provides a
simple and lightweight interface to the Simple Object Access Protocol
(SOAP, also known as Service Oriented Access Protocol) both on client
and server side.
