[ANNOUNCE] Apache::ASP v2.55 released

[Josh Chamas]

Hi,

The latest version of Apache::ASP v2.55 has been released.  The biggest
improvement is no longer loading Apache::compat for running under mod_perl2.
For the rest of the changes in this release, please see below.
To get the latest, install from your local CPAN, and also:

$VERSION = 2.55; $DATE=08/09/2003

 - Bug fixes for running on standalone CGI mode on Win32 submitted
   by Francesco Pasqualini
 + Added Apache::ASP::Request::BINMODE for binmode() being
   called on STDIN after STDIN is tied to $Request object
 + New RequestBinaryRead configuration created, may be turned off
   to prevent $Request object from reading POST data
 ++ mod_perl 2 optmizations, there was a large code impact on this,
   as much code was restructured to reduce the differences between
   mod_perl 1 and mod_perl 2, most importantly, Apache::compat is
   no longer used
 + preloaded CGI for file uploads in the mod_perl environment

 - When XSLT config is set, $Response-Redirect() should work now
   Thanks to Marcus Zoller for pointing problem out
 + Added CookieDomain setting, documented, and added test to cover
   it in t/cookies.t . Setting suggested by Uwe Riehm, who nicely
   submitted some code for this.

Has this affected the performance measurements you made earlier in any way?

Not really.  I was working on the port away from Apache::compat during
the benchmarking, so the results I posted before largely reflect the porting work.
I do not believe there was much of a performance impact regardless, there is
so much runtime overhead to Apache::ASP, that the difference was probably on
the order of 5% or so if any.  There might have also been a small amount
of memory savings as well, but I remember it to be on the order of a
200-300K or so across 20 processes ( things preloaded as usual ).
Regards,

Josh
