Mason is a component-based web site development system with caching,
debugging, and previewing facilities. Check out http://www.masonhq.com
for more information.
This release introduces more powerful templates and basic object-oriented
primitives for components. Templates can easily access methods and
attributes on the current page for greater flexibility. Templates are now
recursive and cascading by default.
Other changes:
- Integrated a revamped parse_component that is cleaner, more modular
and easier to subclass. Courtesy of Dave Rolsky.
- New <%shared> section contains code that executes once per request
and whose declarations are visible from the main component, methods
and subcomponents alike.

URI-escape expressions on a site-wide or per-expression
basis.

ApacheHandler. (submitted by Dave Rolsky)

the buffer.

interface. (suggested by Matt Hoskins)
