Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
ChangeLog:
- Fixed 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' for AJAX POSTs post
Firefox 3.x
+ First sourceforge.net hosted version
+ Incremented version number to actually match SVN branch tag
+ Switched to Big-endian date format in the documentation.
Less chance of misunderstandings
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
- removed packages p5-IO-Compress-Base, p5-IO-Compress-Zlib,
p5-IO-Compress-Bzip2 and p5-Compress-Zlib because they are
merged into p5-IO-Compress
- Updated dependend packages to depend on p5-IO-Compress
and bump PKGREVISION
Upstream changes:
2.017 30 March 2009
* Merged IO-Compress-Base, IO-Compress-Bzip2, IO-Compress-Zlib &
Compress-Zlib into IO-Compress.
* The interface to Compress-Raw-Zlib now uses the new LimitOutput
feature. This will make all of the zlib-related IO-Compress modules
less greedy in their memory consumption.
* Removed MAN3PODS from Makefile.PL
* A few changes to get the test harness to work on VMS courtesy of
Craig. A. Berry.
* IO::Compress::Base & IO::Uncompress::Base
Downgraded some croaks in the constructors to just set $! (by letting
the code attempt to open a file and fail).
This makes the behavior more consistent to a standard open.
[RT #42657]
* IO::Uncompress::Base
Doing a seek with MultiStream could drop some of the uncompressed
data. Fixed.
* IO::Compress::Zip
- Fixed problem with the uncompressed & uncompressed fields when
zip64 is enabled. They were set to 0x0000FFFF instead of
0xFFFFFFFF. Also the ZIP64 extra field was 4 bytes short.
Problem spotted by Dino Chiesa.
* IO::Uncompress::Unzip
- use POSIX::mktime instead of Time::Local::timelocal to convert
the zip DOS time field into Unix time.
* Compress::Zlib
- Documented Compress::Zlib::zlib_version()
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.8.8 -> 5.10.0.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").

ChangeLog:
$VERSION = 2.59; $DATE="05/23/2005"
+ added "use bytes" to Response object to calculate Content-Length
correctly for UTF8 data, which should require therefore at least
perl version 5.6 installed
+ updated to work with latest mod_perl 2.0 module naming convention,
thanks to Randy Kobes for patch
+ examples now exclude usage of Apache::Filter & Apache::SSI under mod_perl 2.0
$VERSION = 2.57; $DATE="01/29/2004"
- $Server->Transfer will update $0 correctly
- return 0 for mod_perl handler to work with latest mod_perl 2 release
when we were returning 200 ( HTTP_OK ) before
- fixed bug in $Server->URL when called like $Server->URL($url)
without parameters. Its not clear which perl versions this bug
affected.
$VERSION = 2.55; $DATE="08/09/2003"
- Bug fixes for running on standalone CGI mode on Win32 submitted
by Francesco Pasqualini
+ Added Apache::ASP::Request::BINMODE for binmode() being
called on STDIN after STDIN is tied to $Request object
+ New RequestBinaryRead configuration created, may be turned off
to prevent $Request object from reading POST data
++ mod_perl 2 optmizations, there was a large code impact on this,
as much code was restructured to reduce the differences between
mod_perl 1 and mod_perl 2, most importantly, Apache::compat is
no longer used
+ preloaded CGI for file uploads in the mod_perl environment
- When XSLT config is set, $Response->Redirect() should work now
Thanks to Marcus Zoller for pointing problem out
+ Added CookieDomain setting, documented, and added test to cover
it in t/cookies.t . Setting suggested by Uwe Riehm, who nicely
submitted some code for this.
$VERSION = 2.53; $DATE="04/10/2003"
+ XMLSubs tags with "-" in them will have "-" replaced with "_" or underscore, so a
tag like <my:render-table /> will be translated to &my::render_table() ... tags with
- in them are common in extended XML syntaxes, but perl subs cannot have - in them only.
+ Clean setting now works on output when $Response->{ContentType} begins with text/html;
like "text/html; charset=iso-8859-2" ... before Clean would only work on output marked
with ContentType text/html. Thanks to Szymon Juraszczyk for recommending fix.
--Fixed a bug which would cause Session_OnEnd to be called twice on sessions in a certain case,
particularly when an old expired session gets reused by and web browser... this bug was
a result of a incomplete session cleanup method in this case. Thanks to Oleg Kobyakovskiy
for reporting this bug. Added test in t/session_events.t to cover this problem going forward.
- Compile errors from Apache::ASP->Loader() were not being reported. They will
be reported again now. Thanks to Thanos Chatziathanassiou for discovering and
documenting this bug. Added test in t/load.t to cover this problem going forward.
+ use of chr(hex($1)) to decode URI encoded parameters instead of pack("c",hex($1))
faster & more correct, thanks to Nikolay Melekhin for pointing out this need.
(d) Added old perlmonth.com articles to ./site/articles in distribution
and linked to them from the docs RESOURCES section
(d) Updated documention for the $Application->SessionCount API
+ Scripts with named subroutines, which is warned against in the style guide,
will not be cached to help prevent my closure problems that often
hurt new developers working in mod_perl environments. The downside
is that these script will have a performance penalty having to be
recompiled each invocation, but this will kill many closure caching
bugs that are hard to detect.
- $Request->FileUpload('upload_file', 'BrowserFile') would return
a glob before that would be the file name in scalar form. However
this would be interpreted as a reference incorrectly. The fix
is to make sure this is always a scalar by stringifying
this data internally. Thanks to Richard Curtis for pointing
out this bug.
$VERSION = 2.51; $DATE="02/10/2003"
+ added t/session_query_parse.t test to cover use of SessionQueryParse
and $Server->URL APIs
- Fixed duplicate "&" bug associated with using $Server->URL
and SessionQueryParse together
+ Patch to allow $Server->URL() to be called multiple times on the same URL
as in $Server->URL($Server->URL($url, \%params), \%more_params)
(d) Added new testimonials & sites & created a separate testimonials page.
- SessionQueryParse will now add to & to the query strings
embedded in the HTML, instead of & for proper HTML generation.
Thanks to Peter Galbavy for pointing out and Thanos Chatziathanassiou
for suggesting the fix.
- $Response->{ContentType} set to text/html for developer error reporting,
in case this was set to something else before the error occured.
Thanks to Philip Mak for reporting.
- Couple of minor bug fixes under PerlWarn use, thanks Peter Galbavy
for reporting.
+ Added automatic load of "use Apache2" for compat with mod_perl2
request objects when Apache::ASP is loaded via "PerlModule Apache::ASP"
Thanks to Richard Curtis for reporting bug & subsequent testing.
- When GlobalPackage config changes, but global.asa has not, global.asa
will be recompiled anyway to update the GlobalPackage correctly.
Changing GlobalPackage before would cause errors if global.asa was
already compiled.
++ For ANY PerlSetVar type config, OFF/Off/off will be assumed
to have value of 0 for that setting. Before, only a couple settings
had this semantics, but they all do now for consistency.
- Fix for InodeNames config on OpenBSD, or any OS that might have
a device # of 0 for the file being stat()'d, thanks to Peter Galbavy
for bug report.
++ Total XSLT speedups, 5-10% on large XSLT, 10-15% on small XSLT
+ bypass meta data check like expires for XSLT Cache() API use
because XSLT tranformations don't expire, saves hit to cache dbm
for meta data
+ use of direct Apache::ASP::State methods like FETCH/STORE
in Cache() layer so we don't have to go through slower tied interface.
This will speed up XSLT & and include output caching mostly.
+ minor optimizations for speed & memory usage
$VERSION = 2.49; $DATE="11/10/2002"
-- bug introduced in 2.47 cached script compilations for executing
scripts ( not includes ) of the same name in different directories
for the same Global/GlobalPackage config for an application.
Fix was to remove optimization that caused problem, and
created test case t/same_name.t to cover bug.
$VERSION = 2.47; $DATE="11/06/2002"
++ Runtime speed enhancements for 15-20% improvement including:
+ INTERNAL API ReadFile() now returns scalar ref as memory optimization
+ cache InodeNames config setting in ASP object now for common lookups
+ removed CompileChecksum() INTERNAL API, since it was an unnecesary
method decomposition along a common code path
+ removed IsChanged() INTERNAL API since compiling of scripts
is now handled by CompileInclude() which does this functionality already
+ removed unnecessary decomp of IncludesChanged() INTERNAL API, which was along
critical code path
+ do not call INTERNAL SearchDirs() API when compiling base script
since we have already validated its path earlier
+ Use stat(_) type shortcut for stat() & -X calls where possible
+ Moved @INC initilization up to handler() & consolidated with $INCDir lib
+ removed useless Apache::ASP::Collection::DESTROY
+ removed useless Apache::ASP::Server::DESTROY
+ removed useless Apache::ASP::GlobalASA::DESTROY
+ removed useless Apache::ASP::Response::DESTROY
- Default path for $Response->{Cookies} was from CookiePath
config, but this was incorrect as CookiePath config is only
for $Session cookie, so now path for $Response->{Cookies}
defaults to /
- Fixed bug where global.asa events would get undefined with
StatINC and GlobalPackage set when the GlobalPackage library
changed & get reloaded.
(d) Documented long time config NoCache.
-- Fixed use with Apache::Filter, capable as both source
and destination filter. Added ./site/eg/filter.filter example
to demonstrate these abilities.
+ Use $r->err_headers_out->add Apache::Table API for cookies
now instead of $r->cgi_header_out. Added t/cookies.t test to
cover new code path as well as general $Response->Cookies API.
Also make cookies headers sorted by cookie and dictionary key
while building headers for repeatable behavior, this latter was
to facilitate testing.
- fixed $Server->Mail error_log output when failing to connect
to SMTP server.
+ added tests to cover UniquePackages & NoCache configs since this
config logic was updated
+ made deprecated warnings for use of certain $Response->Member
calls more loudly write to error_log, so I can remove the AUTOLOAD
for Response one day
- Probably fixed behavior in CgiHeaders, at least under perl 5.8.0, and
added t/cgi_headers.t to cover this config.
+ removed $Apache::ASP::CompressGzip setting ability, used to possibly
set CompressGzip in the module before, not documented anyway
+ removed $Apache::ASP::Filter setting ability to set Filter globally,
not documented anyway
+ removed old work around for setting ServerStarting to 0
at runtime, which was bad for Apache::DBI on win32 a long
time ago:
$Apache::ServerStarting and $Apache::ServerStarting = 0;
If this code is still needed in Apache::ASP->handler() let
me know.
+ check to make sure data in internal database is a HASH ref
before using it for session garbage collection. This is to
help prevent against internal database corruption in a
network share that does not support flock() file locking.
+ For new XMLSubs ASP type <%= %> argument interpolation
activated with XMLSubsPerlArgs 0, data references can now
be passed in addition to SCALAR/string references, so one
can pass an object reference like so:
<my:tag value="<%= $Object %>" />
This will only work as long as the variable interpolation <%= %>
are flushed against the containing " " or ' ', or else the object
reference will be stringified when it is concatenated with
the rest of the data.
Testing for this feature was added to ./t/xmlsubs_aspargs.t
This feature is still experimental, and its interface may change.
However it is slated for the 3.0 release as default method,
so feedback is appreciated.
+ For new XMLSubs ASP type <%= %> argument interpolation
activated with XMLSubsPerlArgs 0, <% %> will no longer work,
just <%= %>, as in
<my:tag value="some value <%= $value %> more data" />
This feature is still experimental, and its interface may change.
However it is slated for the 3.0 release as default method,
so feedback is appreciated.
$VERSION = 2.45; $DATE="10/13/2002"
++New XMLSubsPerlArgs config, default 1, indicates how
XMLSubs arguments have always been parsed. If set to 0,
will enable new XMLSubs args that are more ASP like with
<%= %> for dynamic interpolation, such as:
<my:xmlsub arg="<%= $data %>" arg2="text <%= $data2 %>" />
Settings XMLSubsPerlArgs to 0 is experimental for now, but
will become the default by Apache::ASP version 3.0
++Optimization for static HTML/XML files that are served up
via Apache::ASP so that they are not compiled into perl subroutines
first. This makes especially native XSLT both faster & take
less memory to serve, before XSL & XML files being transformed
by XSLT would both be compiled as normal ASP script first, so
now this will happen if they really are ASP scripts with embedded
<% %> code blocks & XMLSubs being executed.
+Consolidate some config data for Apache::ASP->Loader to use
globals in @Apache::ASP::CompileChecksumKeys to know which
config data is important for precompiling ASP scripts.
+Further streamlined code compilation. Now both base
scripts and includes use the internal CompileInclude() API
to generate code.
-Fixed runtime HTML error output when Debug is set to -2/2,
so that script correctly again gets rendered in final perl form.
Added compile time error output to ./site/eg/syntax_error.htm
when a special link is clicked for a quick visual test.
-Cleaned up some bad coding practices in ./site/eg/global.asa
associated changes in other example files. Comment example
global.asa some for the first time reader
-DemoASP.pm examples module needed "use strict" fix, thanks
to Allan Vest for bug report
--$rv = $Response->Include({ File => ..., Cache => 1});
now works to get the first returned value fetched from
the cache. Before, because a list was always returned,
$rv would have been equal to the number of items returned,
even if the return value list has just one element.
(d) added site/robots.txt file with just a comment for
search engine indexing
-fixed ./site/eg/binary_write.htm to not use
$Response->{ContentLength} because it does not exist.
Fixed it to use $Response->AddHeader now instead
$VERSION = 2.41; $DATE="09/29/2002"
-Removed CVS Revision tag from Apache::ASP::Date, which
was causing bad revision numbers in CPAN after CVS integration
of Apache::ASP
+removed cgi/asp link to ../asp-perl from distribution. This
link was for the deprecated asp script which is now asp-perl
$VERSION = 2.39; $DATE="09/10/2002"
-Turn off $^W explicitly before reloading global.asa. Reloading
global.asa when $^W is set will trigger subroutine redefinition
warnings. Reloading global.asa should occur without any problems
under normal usage of the system, thus this work around.
This fix is important to UseStrict functionality because warnings
automatically become thrown as die() errors with UseStrict enabled,
so we have to disable normal soft warnings here.
-$Response->Include() runtime errors now throw a die() that
can be trapped. This was old functionality that has been restored.
Other compile time errors should still trigger a hard error
like script compilation, global.asa, or $Response->Include()
without an eval()
+Some better error handling with Debug 3 or -3 set, cleaned
up developer errors messages somewhat.
$VERSION = 2.37; $DATE="07/03/2002"
-Fixed the testing directory structures for t/long_names.t
so that tar software like Archive::Tar & Solaris tar that
have problems with long file names will still be able
to untar distribution successfully. Now t/long_names.t
generates its testing directory structures at runtime.
-Fixes for "make test" to work under perl 5.8.0 RC2,
courtesy of Manabu Higashida
+SessionQueryForce setting created for disabling use of cookies
for $Session session-id passing, rather requiring use of SessionQuery*
functionality for session-id passing via URL query string.
By default, even when SessionQuery* options are used, cookies will
be used if available with SessionQuery* functionality acting only
as a backup, so this makes it so that cookies will never be used.
+Escape ' with HTMLEncode() to '
-Trying to fix t/server_mail.t to work better for platforms
that it should skip testing on. Updated t/server.t test case.
+Remove exit() from Makefile.PL so CPAN.pm's automatic
follow prereq mechanism works correctly. Thanks to Slaven Rezic
for pointing this out.
+Added Apache::compat loading in mod_perl environment for better
mod_perl 2.0 support.
$VERSION = 2.35; $DATE="05/30/2002"
+Destroy better $Server & $Response objects so that my
closure references to these to not attempt to work in the future
against invalid internal data. There was enough data left in these
old objects to make debugging the my closure problem confusing, where
it looked like the ASP object state became invalid.
+Added system debug diagnostics to inspect StateManager group cleanup
(d) Documentation update about flock() work around for
Win95/Win98/WinMe systems, confirmed by Rex Arul
(d) Documentation/site build bug found by Mitsunobu Ozato,
where <% %> not being escaped correctly with $Server->HTMLEncode().
New japanese documentation project started by him
at http://sourceforge.jp/projects/apache-asp-jp/
-InitPackageGlobals() called after new Apache::ASP object created so
core system templates can be compiled even when there was a runtime
compilation error of user templates. Bug fix needed pointed out by
Eamon Daly
$VERSION = 2.33; $DATE="04/29/2002"
- fixed up t/server_mail.t test to skip if a sendmail server
is not available on localhost. We only want the test to run
if there is a server to test against.
+ removed cgi/asp script, just a symlink now to the ./asp-perl script
which in this way deprecates it. I had it hard linked, but the
distribution did not untar very well on win32 platform.
+ Reordered the modules in Bundle::Apache::ASP for a cleaner install.
- Fixed bug where XMLSubs where removing <?xml version ... ?> tag
when it was needed in XSLT mode.
+ $Server->Mail({ CC => '...', BCC => '...' }), now works to send
CC & BCC headers/recipients.
+ Removed $Apache::ASP::Register definition which defined the current
executing Apache::ASP object. Only one part of the application was
using it, and this has been fixed. This would have been an unsafe
use of globals for a threaded environment.
+ Decreased latency when doing Application_OnStart, used to sleep(1)
for CleanupMaster sync, but this is not necessary for Application_OnStart
scenario
+ Restructure code / core templates for MailErrorsTo funcationality.
Wrote test mail_error.t to cover this. $ENV{REMOTE_USER} will now
be displayed in the MailErrorsTo message when defined from 401 basic auth.
+ $Server->RegisterCleanup should be thread safe now, as it no longer relies
on access to @Apache::ASP::Cleanup for storing the CODE ref stack.
+ test t/inode_names.t for InodeNames and other file tests covering case
of long file names.
- Fixed long file name sub identifier bug. Added test t/long_names.t.
+ CacheDir may now be set independently of StateDir. It used to default
to StateDir if it was set.
++ Decomposition of modules like Apache::ASP::Session & Apache::ASP::Application
out of ASP.pm file. This should make the source more developer friendly.
This selective code compilation also speeds up CGI requests that do not
need to load unneeded modules like Apache::ASP::Session, by about 50%,
so where CGI mode ran at about 2.1 hits/sec before, now for
light requests that do not load $Session & $Application, requests
run at 3.4 hits/sec, this is on a dual PIII-450 linux 2.4.x
- Caching like for XSLTCache now works in CGI mode.
This was a bug that it did not before.
+ $Server->File() API added, acts as a wrapper around
Apache->request->filename Added test in t/server.t
++ *** EXPERIMENTAL / ALPHA FEATURE NOTE BEGIN ***
New $PERLLIB/Apache/ASP/Share/ directory created to
hold system & user contributed components, which will be found
on the $Server->MapInclude() path, which helps $Response->Include
search '.',Global,IncludesDir, and now Apache::ASP::Share for
includes to load at runtime.
The syntax for loading a shared include is to prefix the file
name with Share:: as in:
$Response->TrapInclude('Share::CORE/MailError.inc');
New test to cover this at t/share.t
This feature is experimental. The naming convention may change
and the feature may disappear altogether, so only use if you
are interesting in experimenting with this feature & will
provide feedback about how it works.
*** EXPERIMENTAL / ALPHA FEATURE NOTE END ***
+ asp-perl script now uses ./asp.conf instead of ./asp.config
for runtime configuration via %Config defined there. Update docs
for running in standalone CGI mode
+ Make use of MANFEST.SKIP to not publish the dev/* files anymore.
- Script_OnEnd guaranteed to run after $Response->End, but
it will not run if there was an error earlier in the request.
+ lots of new test cases covering behaviour of $Response->End
and $Response->Redirect under various conditions like XMLSubs
and SoftRedirect and global.asa Script_OnStart
+ asp-perl will be installed into the bin executables when
Apache::ASP is installed. asp-perl is the command line version
of Apache::ASP that can also be used to run script in CGI mode.
Test case covering asp-perl functionality.
+ asp CGI/command line script now called asp-perl. I picked this
name because Apache::ASP often has the name asp-perl in distributions
of the module.
+ Apache::ASP::CGI::Test class now subclass of Apache::ASP::CGI. To facilitate
this Apache::ASP::CGI::init() now called OO like Apache::ASP::CGI->init()
Fixed up places where the old style was called. New Test class allows
a dummy Apache request object to be built which caches header & body output
for later inspection instead of writing it to STDOUT.
- $Response->Redirect() under SoftRedirect 1 will not first Clear() buffer
- $Response->Redirect() in an XMLSubs will work now ... behavior
of $Response->Flush() being turned off in an XMLSubs was interfering with this.
+ srand() init tracking done better, thanks for patch from Ime Smits
+ Added file/directory being used for precompilation in
Apache::ASP->Loader($file, ...) to output like:
[Mon Feb 04 20:19:22 2002] [error] [asp] 4215 (re)compiled 22 scripts
of 22 loaded for $file
This is so that when precompiling multiple web sites
each with different directories, one can easier see the
compile output relevant to the Loader() command being run.
+ better decomp of Apache::ASP site build files at ./build/* files,
which is good should anyone look at it for ideas.
+ improved test suite to error when unintended output results from
t/*.t test scripts.
- () now supported in XMLSubsMatch config, added xmlsubsmatch.t test...
specifically a config like
PerlSetVar (aaa|bbb):\w+
should now work. Thanks for bug report from David Kulp.
+ Added an early srand() for better $ServerID creation
+ Work around for DSO problems where $r is not always correctly
defined in Apache::ASP::handler(). Thanks to Tom Lear for patch.
$VERSION = 2.31; $DATE="01/22/2002";
+ $Server->MapInclude() API extension created to wrap up Apache::ASP::SearchDirs
functionality so one may do an conditional check for an include existence befor
executing $Response->Include(). Added API test to server.t
+ $Server->Transfer() now allows arguments like $Response->Include(), and now acts just
as a wrapper for:
$Response->Include($file, @args);
$Response->End();
added test case at t/server_transfer.t
+ Removed dependency of StatINC functionality on Apache::Symbol. Apache::Symbol
is no longer required. Added test of t/stat_inc.t for correct StatINC initialization
for platforms where Devel::Symdump is present.
+ Better error message when $Request->Params has not been defined with RequestParams
config & it gets used in script. Added test case as t/request_params_none.t
+ Directories cannot now be included as scripts via $Response->Include(), added
test case to t/include.t
- No longer make $Response->Flush dependent on $Response->IsClientConnected() to
be true to write output to client. There have been spurious errors reported
about the new ( >= 2.25 ) IsClientConnected code, and this will limit the impact
of that functionality possibly not working still to those users explicitly using
that API.
+ $Response->AddHeader($header_name, $value) now will set $Response members
for these headers: Content-Type, Cache-Control, Expires. This is to avoid
both the application & Apache::ASP sending out duplicate headers. Added
test cases for this to t/response.t
+ split up Bundle::Apache::ASP into that, and Bundle::Apache::ASP::Extra
the former with just the required modules to run, and the latter
for extra functionality in Apache::ASP
+ new $Request->{Method} member to return $r->method of GET or POST that
client browser is requesting, added t/request.t sub test to cover this member.
$VERSION = 2.29; $DATE="11/19/2001";
+Added some extra help text to the ./cgi/asp --help message
to clarify how to pass arguments to a script from the command line.
+When using $Server->Mail() API, if Content-Type header is set,
and MIME-Version is not, then a "MIME-Version: 1.0" header will be sent
for the email. This is correct according to RFC 1521 which specifies
for the first time the Content-Type: header for email documents.
Thanks to Philip Mak for pointing out this correct behavior.
+Made dependent on MLDBM::Sync version .25 to pass the taint_check.t test
+Improved server_mail.t test to work with mail servers were relaying is denied
+Added <html><body> tags to MailErrorsTo email
--Fixed SessionCount / Session_OnEnd bug, where these things were not
working for $Sessions that never had anything written to them.
This bug was introduced in 2.23/2.25 release.
There was an optimization in 2.23/2.25 where a $Session that was never
used does not write its state lock file & dbm files to disk, only if
it gets written too like $Session->{MARK}++. Tracking of these NULL $Sessions
then is handled solely in the internal database. For $Session garbage
collection though which would fire Session_OnEnd events and update
SessionCount, the Apache::ASP::State->GroupMembers() function was just
looking for state files on disk ... now it looks in the internal database
too for SessionID records for garbage collection.
Added a test at ./t/session_events.t for these things.
+Some optimizations for $Session API use.
+Added support for XSLT via XML::LibXSLT, patch courtesy of Michael Buschauer
-Got rid of an warning when recompiling changing includes under perl 5.6.1...
undef($code) method did not work for this perl version, rather undef(&$code) does.
Stopped using using Apache::Symbol for this when available.
-Make Apache::ASP script run under perl taint checking -T for perl 5.6.1...
$code =~ tr///; does not work to untaint here, so much use the slower:
$code =~ /^(.*)$/s; $code = $1; method to untaint.
-Check for inline includes changing, included in a dynamic included
loaded at runtime via $Response->Include(). Added test case for
this at t/include_change.t. If an inline include of a dynamic include
changes, the dynamic include should get recompiled now.
-Make OK to use again with PerlTaintCheck On, with MLDBM::Sync 2.25.
Fixed in ASP.pm, t/global.asa, and created new t/taint_check.t test script
+Load more modules when Apache::ASP is loaded so parent will share more
with children httpd:
Apache::Symbol
Devel::Symdump
Config
lib
MLDBM::Sync::SDBM_File
+When FileUploadMax bytes is exceeded for a file upload, there will not
be an odd error anymore resulting from $CGI::POST_MAX being triggered,
instead the file upload input will simply be ignored via $CGI::DISABLE_UPLOADS.
This gives the developer the opportunity to tell the user the the file upload
was too big, as demonstrated by the ./site/eg/file_upload.asp example.
To not let the web client POST a lot of data to your scripts as a form
of a denial of service attack use the apache config LimitRequestBody for the
max limits. You can think of PerlSetVar FileUploadMax as a soft limit, and
apache's LimitRequestBody as a hard limit.
--Under certain circumstances with file upload, it seems that IsClientConnected()
would return an aborted client value from $r->connection->aborted, so
the buffer output data would not be flushed to the client, and
the HTML page would return to the browser empty. This would be under
normal file upload use. One work-around was to make sure to initialize
the $Request object before $Response->IsClientConnected is called,
then $r->connection->aborted returns the right value.
This problem was probably introduced with IsClientConnected() code changes
starting in the 2.25 release.
$VERSION = 2.27; $DATE="10/31/2001";
+ Wrapped call to $r->connection->fileno in eval {} so to
preserve backwards compatibility with older mod_perl versions
that do not have this method defined. Thanks to Helmut Zeilinger
for catching this.
+ removed ./dev directory from distribution, useless clutter
+ Removed dependency on HTTP::Date by taking code into
Apache::ASP as Apache::ASP::Date. This relieves
the dependency of Apache::ASP on libwww LWP libraries.
If you were using HTTP::Date functions before without loading
"use HTTP::Date;" on your own, you will have to do this now.
+ Streamlined code execution. Especially worked on
$Response->IsClientConnected which gets called during
a normal request execution, and got rid of IO::Select
dependency. Some function style calls instead of OO style
calls where private functions were being invokes that one
would not need to override.
- Fixed possible bug when flushing a data buffer where there
is just a '0' in it.
+ Updated docs to note that StateCache config was deprecated
as of 2.23. Removed remaining code that referenced the config.
+ Removed references to unused OrderCollections code.
- Better Cache meta key, lower chance of collision with
unrelated data since its using the full MD5 keyspace now
+ Optimized some debugging statements that resulted
from recent development.
+ Tie::TextDir .04 and above is supported for StateDB
and CacheDB settings with MLDBM::Sync .21. This is good for
CacheDB where output is larger and there are not many
versions to cache, like for XSLTCache, where the site is
mostly static.
+ Better RESOURCES section to web site, especially with adding
some links to past Apache::ASP articles & presentations.
$VERSION = 2.25; $DATE="10/11/2001";
+ Improved ./site/apps/search application, for better
search results at Apache::ASP site. Also, reengineered
application better, with more perl code moved to global.asa.
Make use of MLDBM::Sync::SDBM_File, where search database
before was engineering around SDBM_File's shortcomings.
- Fix for SessionSerialize config, which broke in 2.23
Also, added t/session_serialize.t to test suite to catch
this problem in the future.
$VERSION = 2.23; $DATE="10/11/2001";
+Make sure a couple other small standard modules get loaded
upon "PerlModule Apache::ASP", like Time::HiRes, Class::Struct,
and MLDBM::Serializer::Data::Dumper. If not available
these modules won't cause errors, but will promote child httpd
RAM sharing if they are.
-XMLSubs args parsing fix so an arg like z-index
does not error under UseStrict. This is OK now:
<my:layer z-index=3 top=0 left=0> HTML </my:layer>
-Only remove outermost <SCRIPT> tags from global.asa
for IIS/PerlScript compatibility. Used to remove
all <SCRIPT> tags, which hurt when some subs in globa.asa
would be printing some JavaScript.
+$Response->{IsClientConnected} now updated correctly
before global.asa Script_OnStart. $Response->IsClientConnect()
can be used for accurate accounting, while
$Response->{IsClientConnected} only gets updated
after $Response->Flush(). Added test cases to response.t
+$Server->HTMLEncode(\$data) API extension, now can take
scalar ref, which can give a 5% improvement in benchmarks
for data 100K in size.
-Access to $Application is locked when Application_OnEnd &
Application_OnStart is called, creating a critical section
for use of $Application
++MLDBM::Sync used now for core DBM support in Apache::ASP::State.
This drastically simplifies/stabilizes the code in there
and will make it easier for future SQL database plugins.
+New API for accessing ASP object information in non content
handler phases:
use Apache::ASP;
sub My::Auth::handler {
my $r = shift;
my $ASP = Apache::ASP->new($r)
my $Session = $ASP->Session;
}
In the above example, $Session would be the same $Session
object created later while running the ASP script for this
same request.
Added t/asp_object.t test for this. Fixed global.asa to only
init StateDir when application.asp starts which is the first
test script to run.
-Fixed on Win32 to make Apache::ASP->new($r) able to create
multiple master ASP objects per request. Was not reentrant
safe before, particularly with state locking for dbms like
$Application & $Session.
++Output caching for includes, built on same layer ( extended )
as XSLTCache, test suite at t/cache.t. Enabled with special
arguments to
$Response->Include(\%args, @include_args)
$Response->TrapInclude(\%args, @include_args)
$Server->Execute(\%args, @include_args)
where %args = (
File => 'file.inc',
Cache => 1, # to activate cache layer
Expires => 3600, # to expire in one hour
LastModified => time() - 600, # to expire if cached before 10 minutes ago
Key => $Request->Form, # to cache based on checksum of serialized form data,
Clear => 1, # to not allow fetch from cache this time, will always execute include
);
Like the XSLTCache, it uses MLDBM::Sync::SDBM_File
by default, but can use DB_File or GDBM_File if
CacheDB is set to these.
See t/cache.t for API support until this is documented.
+CacheSize now supports units of M, K, B like
CacheSize 10M
CacheSize 10240K
CacheSize 10000000B
CacheSize 10000000
-Better handling of $Session->Abandon() so multiple
request to the same session while its being destroyed
will have the right effect.
+Optimized XMLSubs parsing. Scripts with lots lof XMLSubs
now parse faster for the first time. One test script with
almost 200 such tags went from a parse time of around 3 seconds
to .7 seconds after optimizations.
+Updated performance tuning docs, particularly for using
Apache::ASP->Loader()
+$Server->URL($url, \%params) now handles array refs
in the params values like
$Server->URL($url, { key => [ qw( value1 value2 ) ] })
This is so that query string data found in
$Request->QueryString that gets parsed into this form
from a string like: ?key=value&key=value2 would be
able to be reused passed back to $Server->URL to
create self referencing URLs more easily.
-Bug fix where XMLSubs like <s:td /> now works on perl
5.005xx, thanks to Philip Mak for reporting & fix.
+When searching for included files, will now join
the absolute path of the directory of the script
with the name of the file if its a relative file
name like ./header.inc. Before, would just look
for something like ././header.inc by using '.'
as the first directory to look for includes in.
The result of this is that scripts in two directories
configured with the same Global setting should be able
to have separate local header.inc files without causing
a cached namespace collision.
+$Server->Config() call will return a hash ref
to all the config setting for that request, like
Apache->dir_config would.
-StatINC setting with Apache::ASP->Loader() works again.
This makes StatINC & StatINCMatch settings viable
for production & development use when the system has
very many modules.
-Cookieless session support with configs like SessionQueryParse
and SessionQuery now work for URLs with frags in them
like http://localhost?arg=value#frag
+@rv = $Response->Include() now works where there are
multiple return values from an include like:
<% return(1,2); %>
all PEAR packages to php?-pear-* and all Apache packages to ap13-* or
ap2-* respectively. Add new variables to simplify the Makefile
handling. Add CONFLICTS on the old names. Reset revisions of bumped
packages. ap-php will now depend on the default Apache and PHP version.
All programs using it have an implicit option of the Apache version
as well.
OK from jlam@ and adrianp@.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.
addresses PR pkg/28619 from H. Todd Fujinaka.
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.

Apache perl modules, and each compiled and installed/de-installed apparently

As a side effect of the dynamic PLIST, we no longer need to to have separate
-static and -shared PLISTs. It's now easier than ever to make a perl5

for each of the continuation lines, rather than using backslashes to
continue a single, long definition. This makes it much easier to spot
pre-requisite packages and other dependencies.
