UnCommon Web version 0.3.4 - learning to climb up trees Released 2004-12-07 * Home page http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/ * Download ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/project/ucw/ucw_0.3.4.tar.gz * Prerequisites ** Prerequisites included in the distribution - arnesi - yaclml - cl-icu - iterate - mod_lisp ** Prerequisites you must download and install manually - a recent CVS version of SLIME. You must have the new inspector for the ucw-inspector to work. - portableaserve 1.2.35 should you want the aserve backend. * Changes (since 0.3.3) * Components - A new class, simple-window-component, provides the convience render-on method and slots. The window-component class is now used for call/answer logic only. Previously these two jobs were both handled by the window-component class, this made template based window-components impossible. - window-component now properly deals with the case where it _does_ have a calling component. This makes call'ing window-components from regular actions meaningfull. - range-view component has new cleaner api. variosu bugs and off-by-one errors have been fixed. * Component Rendering - User errors during the rendering phase are now properly dealt with (iow they don't cause an internal server error). - *print-level*, *print-length* and now set to low values when printing the backtrace (this avoids 500Kb backtrace pages). The entire data structure is still availabe by inspecting the objects. - template-component-environment now uses nconc method combination. * Component Control Flow - CALL and ANSWER can now be used in defentry-point with the "expected" semantics. The only restriction is that the called components must be subclasse of window-component. * RERL - session frames are now stored in a hash table and are never removed. this change is required to support window cloning (whethere this change should be appiled globally or a sub class of standard-session-frame should be created is still up for debate). - Errors during find-application now show an error page instead of killing the server. * Other - Created a new ucwctl script which, once properly edited for the site, can be used in /etc/init.d to control a ucw server. - UCW now loads the init.lisp file. This provides a convient place to put site specific startup code. - Obselete method definitions in the example app have been removed. - A tla config has been added to the libs directory which makes getting arnesi et al. easier. - A good deal of work has gone into the manual. * Known Issues - The transaction example does not work. - CMUCL and SBCL have a bug in the handling of :default-initargs, which UCW makes heavy use of. * Supported Platforms OpenMCL and CMUCL (with mod_lisp) backend have been tested throughly. SBCL and mod_lisp have been tested lightly. aserver backend has not been tested. -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. -Leonard Cohen _______________________________________________ bese-announce mailing list bese-announce@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bese-announce
