Embperl is a system for building dynamic websites with Perl. See
http://perl.apache.org/embperl/ (english) or http://www.ecos.de/embperl/
(german) for more information.

This is mainly a bug fix release. Everybody who is using a 2.0 beta version
of Embperl encouraged to upgrade.

Enjoy Gerald

Changes since 2.0b6:

   - Changed default for EMBPERL_ESCMODE from 3 to 7. This disables
 by default the possibilty use the backslash to not escape a piece
 of output. This increases the security, because it by default
 avoids the interpretation of the backslash in any user input that
 is redisplayed.
   - Fixed bug in mail syntax and Embperl::Mail reported by Jan Kyncl.
   - Removed LogFormat and CustsomLog from test config, so mod_log_config
 is not required for make test. Reported by Jochen Topf.
   - Removed EmbperlObject.pm from MANIFEST, since it was replaced by
 Embperl/Object.pm.
   - Make symbolsnames unique so they don't clash with 1.3.4. Reported
 by Kee Hinckley.
   - Fixed a problem that ocurred when a reference to some of the Embperl
 objects was kept after the end of it's lifetime, which caused a
 segfault.
   - Don't do a path search when the filename starts with './'.
   - Fixed a segfault that occured when many nested sub's are used,
 but only a low number of strings.
   - Fixed a problem that option tags are not correctly selected, when
 the option tag was inside a loop and the name of the select
 tag was dynamicly generated.
   - Added test for config directives inside of VirtualHost

 Any idea when 2.0-STABLE is going to come out?


I think the main issuses with the code are solved, so it's stable to use
right now, also I want to give people some more time for testing. The main
work to do before the stable release is to write better documentation. To
transform all the quick notes in README.v2 into real docs.

I can't promise anything, but I hope to get it out during the next few
months.

Gerald
