NB: This tarball contains ucw, arnesi, yaclml and cl-icu. You'll need
to install a recent CVS version of SLIME and portableaserve 1.2.35
(mod_lisp is included in the libs/ directory).
* New Features (since 0.2)
- UCW package exports the public interface. New UCW-USER package.
- Cross action continuations now work as expected.
- Gracefully (and programmatically) deal with requests for expired
sessions.
** Components
- Improved range-view API.
- Simple date-picker component
- Allow component threads and manipulation of component places.
** YACLML/TAL
- Improved form handling.
- All TAL extensions are accessable as yaclml macros.
- <ucw:option tags contain real lisp objects as values.
- Convience tags (and yaclml macros) for form handling.
- Improved TAL environment manipulation.
** mod_lisp
- Upgrade "official" mod_lisp to 2.38
** aserve
- Improved URL handling.
* Documentation
- Most public functions, macros and classes now have doc strings.
- UCW document application provides a 30% complete manual.
* Portability
- Tested regularly on CMUCL (linux x86), SBCL (linux x86) and OpenMCL
(darwin ppc) with mod_lisp backend. Tested occasianly on OpenMCL
(darwin ppc) with portableaserve backend.
* Bugs
- many were fixed, many were probably introduced. caveat emptor.
* Note
I kept holding off UCW 0.3 until i'd written the docs. I kept holding
off that until i'd written a concordia like document system. This
release could have been made quite a while ago had I been more
realistic.
Now I'm going to try and put as much information in doc strings
(except high level over view stuff) as possible and hope the developer
has a recent enough SLIME which makes this information easily
accessable.
