-*- outline -*- UnCommon Web version 0.3.9 - "learning to spel" Released 2005-05-09 This release: improves the documentation; adds a completely new back-end; adds multi-threading support to the mod_lisp back-end; provides a large number of bug fixes and minor improvements. * Home page http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/ * Download ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/project/ucw/ucw_0.3.9.tar.gz ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/project/ucw/ucw_0.3.9.tar.bz2 * Changes (since 0.3.7) - rfc2388 and iterate are no longer included in distribution tarballs but must be downloaded separately. UCW, unless the araneida backend is used, now depends on PURI (puri.b9.com). ** System - All the scripts and lisp files required for starting and stopping UCW are now in the bin directory. The unused file src/bin.lisp has been removed. - The default log level has been turned down to avoid uninformative messages being constantly written to the console. ** RERL - The Content-Type header is explicitly set in the standard-server's handle-request method. - HTTP headers are now always passed as strings. Automatic keyword->string conversion has been eliminated. - The DEFAPPLICATION macro has been removed. In its place we now must explicitly create the application object and register is with the server at the appropiate times. ** Components - New REDIRECT component. - New convenience macro initialize-container. - *debug-on-error* and *inspect-components* are now exported from the UCW package. ** Back-ends - All back-ends now use the ucw.backend logger, this is much simpler than having each backend have its own logger. - The mod_lisp backend now supports parsing mime encoded POST data. The current API is not definitive and will change in the near future. - mod_lisp backend now support multiple worker threads. - Added httpd backend. ** YACLML/TAL - <ucw:select :multiple t now works as expected. - New convenience tags <ucw:text, <ucw:password and <ucw:submit. - :action attribute now allowed on regular A and INPUT tags in TAL files. - Fix spelling error in yaclml, enviroment is now consistently spelt correctly. ** Documentation - Added the wiki example. - Improved user's manual. -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring.

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.

UnCommonWeb version 0.3.2 - learning to climb up bookshelves Released 2004-11-06 [nb: this release breaks backwards compatability] * Home page http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/ * Download ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/project/ucw/ucw_0.3.2.tar.gz NB: This tarball contains ucw, arnesi, yaclml, cl-icu, iterate and mod_lisp. You'll need to install a recent CVS version of SLIME and portableaserve 1.2.35. * Changes (since 0.3.1) [in no particular order] - A new component class hierarchy (and associated API) has been introduced. UCW now distinguishes between window component and widget components and provides better support for both. - The untested, buggy and empty documentation application has been removed. - The user's manual has been updated, improved and rewritten in LaTeX. - The yaclml tags <ucw:form and <ucw:a now require an :action attribute. - Two generic actions (ok and refresh-component) have been implementod. - The session.value API has been improved. - standard-application's entry-point table is now implemented as a hash-table, this greatly improves support for sites with many entry points. - A new component class (container) has been added. It provides support for implementing components which manage other components. The container component defines various convience methods which simplyify the initialization and manipulation of sub components. - The UCW inspector directly uses SLIME's inspector and produces similar output. The backtrack error pages now have inspector links. (as they did in UCW 0.1). Inspector anchors no longer pretty print the object. - the render-on defgeneric has been moved into the protocol file where it should have been all along. - render-on uses wrapping-standard method combination. - The standard-component file has been split into multilpe files. - Fixed mod_lisp's response object wiping * Supported Platforms SBCL and CMUCL have problems with :default-initargs (which UCW makes wide use of) but otherwise work fine. OpenMCL has no known issues. mod_lisp backend has been tested with all implementations, aserver backend has not been tested. -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring.

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. -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring.

23 Feb '04

ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/project/ucw/ucw_0.2.0pre0.tar.gz The tar ball contains a file called RELEASE which summarizes all the changes since 0.1.0, here's a summary of the more important ones: 1) We now have a protocol which defines how the various "phases" of the request-response loop work. The protocol is defined in terms of generic "application", "server", "session" objects and implementations are providide via "standard-server", "standard-application", etc classes and methods. This protocol is designed to allow changes to request-response handling to be done in a modular and clean way without having to go in and change the ucw core. 2) UCW's standard-session understands "session transactions" which allows one to explicity define blocks of code which have "once and only once" interaction properties. 3) TAL templates are now XML documents. This premits us to use xml namespaces to associate names with handlers, this is a much cleaner and extensable solution than the "let's fake it with keywords with funky names" solution we had before. Definig yaclml tags and tal attribute/tag handlers is stiil something of a bitch though. 4) Initial i18n support based on cl-icu. ======== as with the 0.1.1 release this tarball also contains the proper versions of all the supported libraries, make sure that asdf sees these new versions. p.s. - GO!

[Bese-announce] FiveAM 1.2.0
by Marco Baringer 03 Feb '04

03 Feb '04

Announcing version 1.2.0 of FiveAM. What is FiveAM? FiveAM is a common lisp regression testing framework. FiveAM is explicitly designed to allow testing to be done in an "idiomatic" (for my definition of idiomatic) lisp style. FiveAM featuers: test organization through test and test suite hierarchies; quick and easy test definition and redefinition; convience functions for re-running recently run test; an extensable (though not yet extended) test reporting engine; inter test dependencies to avoid spurious (and information free) test failures. Changes since 1.1.2: - Inter test dependencies - Convience restarts when an unexpected errors occur - FiveAM now has its own test suite (runable via (asdf:oos 'asdf:test-op :fiveam)) - Result explaining uses CLOS and is extendable - various bug fixes Getting FiveAM_1.2.0: - ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/project/bese/FiveAM/fiveam_1.2.0.tar.gz - (asdf-install:install :fiveam) - arch: bese-2004(a)common-lisp.net/FiveAM--dev--1.2--base-0 enjoy, -- Marco Ring the bells that still can ring.

the old repository (bese-devel(a)common-lisp.net) had collected a lot of cruft (dead or empty branches, versions and categories) so i degided to follow create a new archive: name - bese-2004(a)common-lisp.net public location - 'http://common-lisp.net/project/bese/bese-2004@common-lisp.net' this archive currently only has the FiveAM development, and pxmlutils but soon everything will be moved over. the bese category has been moved into a support--dists branch while the www caterogy has been moved into support--htdocs. we're no longer going to have stable or main branches, we'll just have the main dev branch for each project. if we need to do work which can't go on the main branch we'll branch, but if we want to make a release we're just going to add the proper config. i'm seriously comptemplating moving the ucw stuff into this repo as well. -- Marco Ring the bells that still can ring.

[Bese-announce] CL-ICU version 0.0.0
by Marco Baringer 12 Jan '04

12 Jan '04

cl-icu is a common lisp interface to IBM's unicode/i18n library ICU (http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/). The goal of ICU is to provide convient i18n support to lisp applications by providing a convient interface to ICU. Currently only basic date and number formatting are available (see sample/datefmt.lisp and samples/numfmt.lisp). cl-icu is know to work on OpenMCl with ICU version 2.6, although the use of uffi and icu's relative api stability should minimize porting issuse. Due to some complexeties in loading libicui18n and libicuc please read the README file _before_ compiling and loading cl-icu, in particular you will probably have to edit a few files based on how icu was compiled. ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/bese/cl-icu/0.0/cl-icu_0.0.0.tar.gz Arch params: archive: bese-devel(a)common-lisp.net current dev branch: cl-icu--dev--0.0 enjoy, -- Marco Ring the bells that still can ring.
