Hi,
as you may have seen from the revision log (http://bknr.net/trac/log/trunk/thirdparty/hunchentoot?rev=4650), there has been a fair amount of change to Hunchentoot in the recent weeks and Edi is planning to make a new release soon.
Here are the highlights of what has been changed:
- Logging has been overhauled. There are now two generic function ACCEPTOR-LOG-MESSAGE and ACCEPTOR-LOG-ACCESS that perform the logging and can be specialized on a per-acceptor basis. By default, Hunchentoot now logs to the console instead of being silent. - Error handling and reporting has been reworked. Internal errors are handled more gracefully. - The default request handler is gone. By default, Hunchentoot now generates a 404 message if an unknown URL is requested. - Error message generation can now be customized on a per-acceptor fashion. Also, code to generate error messages from HTML template files has been added. - By default, Hunchentoot now serves static files. A document tree including a simple "It works!"-like home page, the documentation in HTML format and customized error pages will be distributed with Hunchentoot and served by default. - Robustness changes from ITA - Various smaller bug fixes
Before making a release, I would like to improve the looks of the standard document tree and the error pages a little. Does someone have web design skills that they want to contribute? If so, please have a look at the current development version (svn co http://bknr.net/svn/ediware) and me patches. I'm not looking for anything too fancy. Good looks can't hurt, though! :)
Thanks! -Hans
