AxKit 1.5 is now available for download from both AxKit.org, and soon CPAN mirrors worldwide.
This is a major upgrade, so please use caution when upgrading live servers, as major internal parts of AxKit have changed with this release. Most significantly, a large amount of code has been migrated to C, and some parts of the code have been migrated to use libxml2, which you should install prior to installing AxKit for optimum performance. It is now possible if you have libxml2 installed to run AxKit entirely without XML::Parser, which will help for people who can't recompile Apache (to remove the included expat). There have been many performance improvements in this release, too many to mention. Perhaps the most significant though is that AxKit is now a first class Apache handler (although it still requires mod_perl), so you can do: "SetHandler axkit", rather than have to use PerlHandler. This is a performance win, and will help if we ever need to move away from mod_perl to being a pure Apache module. For a full list of changes, please consult the axkit-users mailing list archives. Details of which are at http://axkit.org/mailinglist.xml Changes since AxKit 1.4_86 (beta): AxPoint added the ability to do bullet point transitions Fixed LibXSLT relative files with document() Fixed some core caching and delivery bugs Fixed MANIFEST missing files -- <!-- Matt --> <:->Get a smart net</:->
