Also, I realize now that "first major version in ten years" was a potentially

maintenance releases since then. It's just that 1.00 was released ten years ago.
Hi.
I do not really know Mason (yet), but I just want to say that it is an /immense/ tribute
to its developer(s) that a package that was developed more than 10 years ago is still in
active use now, by many sites, and many very large sites.
(The same goes for mod_perl of course).
And when one compares the average of 2-3 minor releases per year over the last 5 years,
with the monthly MS patches ...

This being said, I would like to report a small bug, I believe more of the web server than
Mason, on the very reference page mentioned by Perrin :
http://masonhq.com/code/history.html
The last line of the "1.43 Dec 25, 2009" section shows an encoding problem.
The name of Frédéric Brière seems to be encoded as UTF-8, but the page is rendered in
iso-8859-1.
The Content-type header returned by the server does not provide a character encoding (and
neither does the html page itself) so the browser defaults to iso-8859-1.
Since this is a "marketing" kind of page, it would look nicer if it appeared
correctly.
