* Changes (since 0.3.7)
** System
- UCW will now attempt to load asdf system definitions manually if asdf:*central-registry* isn't properly configured. This should make it easier for lisp newbies to start with UCW.
- 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.
** 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.
** Documentation
- Added the wiki example.
- Improved users manual.
