This release fixes a slew of bugs and documentation glitches. It also
introduces a few mild incompatibilities that we felt would ultimately make a
cleaner 1.0 system.
Our plan is to continue with this branch until there are no known fixable
bugs, then release the final result as 1.0. I encourage everyone currently
using 0.8x to upgrade to this release and report any bugs / documentation
errors to the user's list.
Cheers
Jon
Changes in 0.895:
- ** Removed ApacheHandler from Mason.pm. It is now necessary to
explicitly 'use' the HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler module in your
handler.pl file (or elsewhere). This fixes an intermittent
args_method bug and cleans up Mason.pod.
- ** Changed $m->caller_args to return a hash reference in scalar
context and a list/hash in list context. Older calls expecting a list
reference will need to be changed.
- Fixed Mason to work under Perl's tainting mode again. Thanks to John
Tobey for pointing us in the right direction.
- Modified the definition of "next component" to depend on the current
component, not merely the number of times $m->call_next has been
called. This allows $m->fetch_next to work as documented. Also
added $m->fetch_next_all, which returns the rest of the wrapper chain.
- Fixed bug with ../.. in component paths. Versions 0.88 and 0.89
would create multiple object files for a single component and would
allow any filename to be treated as an internal component. This was
_not_ exploitable externally via Apache, however. (reported by Pascal
Eeftinck)
- Implemented $m->top_comp and $m->top_args, and fixed documentation
for $m->callers(-1). (suggested by Kees Vonk)
- Added full line comments to <%args> sections. (suggested by Matthew
Lewinski)
- Revamped test harness system with HTML::Mason::Tests, greatly
simplifying the new test creation process.
- Implemented partial compliance with Apache::Filter; Mason can now be
used as a pre-filter but not yet as a post-filter. i.e. Configurations
like "PerlHandler HTML::Mason Apache::Compress" will work.
- Implemented logging of NOT FOUND errors to match plain Apache. Also
issue special warnings for Mason-specific causes of NOT FOUND.
- Documented Mason request object's aborted and aborted_value methods.
- Documented the fact that any variable declared in the <%args>
section must be a valid Perl variable name. The parser will now give
an error if it encounters an invalid name (such as $foo.x).
- Eliminated upgrade of Apache request object to Apache::Request class
if this were done previously. (submitted by Shevek)
- Removed FAQ from distribution. Users should seek out the most
current FAQ, now maintained by Kwindla Kramer, on the web.
- Fixed bug where an attempt to escape a substitution that contained a
function operating on a list (like sort or map) ended up appending the
escape flag characters to the list being operated on.
- Fixed the test 08-ah to work with CGI versions >= 3.0. (reported by
Alexei V. Barantsev)
- Fixed a problem with the parser when running with a locale that used
a comma as the decimal separator instead of a period. (reported by
Louis-David Mitterrand)
- Clarified the 'u' escape flag in docs.
- Removed use of $r->finfo in Apachehandler.pm, which causes random
core dumps in certain versions of mod_perl.
- Updated eg/session_handler.pl code to match Apache::Session 1.50+.
- Fixed various problems with debug files.
- Fixed a bug sometimes seen when the parser failed to parse a
component called by another component.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the $m->cache_self method from returning
anything.
- Fixed documentation regarding 'months' and 'years' units in
expire_in cache flag.
- Fixed bug in HTML/Mason/Component/Subcomponent.pm create_time
method. (reported by Caleb Crome)
- Fixed bug where Mason would try to escape undefined values in a
substitution with an escape flag. (submitted by Denis Shaposhnikov)
