Dear all,
I am glad to announce that the release of NaviServer 4.99.28 is
available at SourceForge [1]. This release is a pure bug-fix and
maintenance release, which fixes a bug annoying for some OpenACS users.
See below for a summary of the changes.
All the best!

New Features:
-------------
- None
Bug Fixes:
----------
- Fixed incorrect list quoting for "filter" in urlspace
introspection. This lead to display problems, e.g. in the nsstats
module.
- Fixed naming Inconsistency: Unified the term "fastpath" across
configuration, API-interface, and documentation.
- Fixed potential crash in Ns_SetIUpdateSz(): Fixed a bug that could
lead to a crash when updating the content-type header field with a
lowercase field name via the old C API.
Many thanks to Brian Fenton for reporting the problem and his help
for debugging it.
Code Maintenance:
-----------------
- New API Function Ns_PlainUrlPath: Checks if a given URL path is
"plain," meaning it doesn't contain a query or fragment. Useful
for data validation in configuration files and Tcl API calls.
- Improved Validation when registering request handler. Previously,
it was possible to register request handlers for paths containing
query variables and fragments, which were never matched.
- Added Missing "-server" Argument: The "-server" argument was added
to ns_unregister_op and ns_unregister_url2file, allowing for more
centralized management (e.g. from the nsstats module).
- Added a more Portable Way of Printing NULL Pointer: Improved
portability for printing NULL pointers across different compilers,
which could lead to false positives in the regression test.
- Extended and Simplified Test Cases: Several commits were made to
improve and extend test cases across different modules and
scenarios.
- Improved and corrected documentation, including styling changes,
bug fixes, and providing more detailed information.
Modules:

The following list contains the most important changes:
- Extending nsstats:
* Introduced templating to improve style-ability
* Provided a more ,odern GUI based on the CSS classes from w3schools
* Added management of request handlers
* Added management of url2file mappings
- Rework of module nsdbbdb:
* properly initializing mutex variables (many thanks to John Buckman)
* support for LMDB (Lightning Memory-Mapped Database)
* Improved configurability for Makefile
* Modernization of C code (better following style guide)
* Added debug support via Debug(bdb)
Build nsdbbdb with Berkeley DB 6.2.32 (results in nsdbbdb.so)
make DBINCLUDE=/opt/local/include/db62 DBLIB=/opt/local/lib/db62/
Build nsdbbdb with LMDB (Lightning Memory-Mapped Database) (results in
nsdblmdb.so)
make LMDB=1 DBINCLUDE=/opt/local/include DBLIB=/opt/local/lib/
