Features

• set locale for LC_TIME as well

3.0.7 Tue May 16, 2006, joern

Features

• Real implementation of the new gettext based l10n framework. Set the actual LC_MESSAGES language with the new tag <?lang><?/lang>.
• new command line tool cipp-l10n handles all tasks around .pot file generation, .po merging and .mo installation.

3.0.6 Thu Nov 17, 2005, joern

Bugfix

• Omit CIPP version header when XHTML conformity is enabled.

3.0.5 Mon Oct 31, 2005, joern

Features

• 'Initial Perl Statement' for database handles. This affects the runtime API!

3.0.4 Fri Oct 28, 2005, joern

Features

• All database commands now support getting a variable passed in the DB option for runtime evaluation.

3.0.3 Thu Sep 22, 2005, joern

Features

• HTTP Header Content-type: default to windows-1252 instead of iso-8859-1.

3.0.2 Wed Sep 21, 2005, joern

Features

• optionally truncate whitespace around CIPP tags
• optionally generate XHTML conform HTML code

3.0.1 Fri Sep 16, 2005, joern

Bugfix

• Runtime: Determiniation of full prod path didn't work with Apache2

3.0.0 Mon Sep 12, 2005, joern

Bugfix

• <?GETPARAM MY VAR="@list" NAME="foo"> returned only the first value of the foo list parameter when utf8 was enabled.

2.99.38 Thu Aug 11, 2005, joern

Notes

• <?l> tag changed incompatibly! The 'MY' and 'VAR' options were dropped and in PERL context the text is not printed to STDOUT anymore but returned in expression context.

Feature

• <?l> command now works as a expression in PERL and VAR context and inside <?OPTION> and other VAR_QUOTE context tags as well.

2.99.37 Wed May 25 2005, joern

Feature

• l10n: <?l MY VAR="$foo">...<?/l> stores translated message in a variable instead of printing it.
• l10n: Runtime API officially documented, for direct access from your Perl code: CIPP->request->print_gettext and CIPP->request->gettext. Refer to the CIPP::Runtime::Request manpage for details.

2.99.36 Fri May 20 2005, joern

Feature

• New command <?l> for l10n, as a future frontend to the Locale::TextDomain module. Currently a dummy implementation translating nothing, but printing the text as is. For details refer to CIPP::Manual.

2.99.35 Tue Mar 15 2005, joern

Feature

• Changes to Runtime library only: print more/better information about runtime exceptions. Switched on include backtracing again, although it's just what it is: a backtrace of include calls. Method calls are not listed here (only if an include was called by a method), so aware: this may be confusing.

2.99.34 Fri Feb 25 2005, joern

Feature

• CIPP::Runtime::Request 0.92: print_http_equiv_content_type() prints iso-8859-1 charset mime type by default, not only a utf-8 mime type if request is utf8 enabled.

2.99.33 Tue Nov 30 2004, joern

Bugfix

• Under special circumstances changes of includes where ignored at runtime in a persistant einvironment.

2.99.32 Mon Nov 29 2004, joern

Bugfix

• CGI programs loading modules with "use" didn't work, if the module is located in a directory which is configured in the base configuration. This was a side effect from the SpeedyCGI bugfix of 2.99.30.
• @INC growed on each call in Speedy/mod_perl context.

2.99.31 Thu Nov 4 2004, joern

Bugfixes

• new.spirit project installation: HTML files were generated in the wrong context (config files of the development system instead of production system)

2.99.30 Mon Oct 11 2004, joern

Notes

• This release requires installation on production systems, since bugs in the runtime environment were fixed.

Bugfixes

• new.spirit CGI's didn't work with CGI::SpeedyCGI
• Perl errors from Includes were not reported anymore.

2.99.29 Tue Sep 14 2004, joern

Bugfixes

• Perl syntax check sometimes hung due to BEGIN/END blocks in the code, which were not nuked under all circumstances
• Generation of static HTML documents was broken since 2.99.28.

2.99.28 Fri Sep 10 2004, joern

Bugfixes

• <?TEXTAREA> always produced an empty <textarea>
• write CIPP error log entry, even if error output to browser is disabled
• <?INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" STICKY> was broken
• Switched off exception stack backtrace, because CIPP can't trace method calls, which is confusing. Better no backtrace than a wrong one. According information could be gathered at runtime, but with high cost of performance.
• Lexical variable check for non declared <?SUB> variable didn't work.
• Complain about <?INCINTERFACE> parameters declared INPUT and OPTIONAL at the same time.
• Several documentation fixes.

Features

• improved CIPP exception logging layout
• a Unique Exception Identifier (=> UEI) is generated and printed to the log and to the browser - makes detailed bug reporting and hunting easier
• Anchors for forms: <?FORM NAME="x.foo#anchor">
• <?IMG NOSIZE> omits automatic WIDTH/HEIGHT determination
• <?>$x->foo();<?/> now throws an CIPP error message, because the trailing ; resulted in unusable Perl compiler errors
• <?DUMP LOG STDERR> prints dumps to CIPP log and/or STDERR resp. webserver error log. Format slightly changed, better mapping of name/value.

2.99.27 Fri Jul 02 2004, joern

Bugfixes

• fixed logical error with utf8 tagging of input parameters when utf8 is switched on at runtime
• NewSpirit mode: additional library path's were missing when compiling an Include at secondary level

2.99.26 Fri Jun 25 2004, joern

Features

• switch on utf8 mode at runtime with CIPP->request->set_utf8(1)
• new Method CIPP->request->print_http_equiv_content_type prints appropriate <meta http-equiv> line for current mime type and charset setting

2.99.25 Tue May 11 2004, joern

• imported CIPP::Runtime version 0.42

2.99.24 Tue Dec 02 2003, joern

• imported CIPP::Runtime version 0.41

2.99.23 Thu Aug 07 2003, joern

Bugfixes

• Recursive usage of Includes resulted in endless loop. Now the compiler detects a recursion and throws an error message (probably future releases may support recursive Includes).
• This was parsed without error: <?GETURL ... <br> >
• <?SQL>: some special handling to PARAMS of non-SELECT statements applied. Empty variables will be converted to undef (NULL) before they're passed to DBI. This harmonizes the handling of empty strings with different database systems (e.g. Oracle converts empty strings to NULL always, while MySQL handles them as-is).

2.99.22

Features

• new command <?SWITCHDB>...<?/SWITCHDB> which switches the default database inside the correspoding block. Nesting is possible, also this switiching exception safe.
• new project configuration parameter: add_prod_dir. Enables searching for includes, libs and configs in external CIPP3 projects. Needs new.spirit 2.1.17.

2.99.21

Bugfixes

• added a timeout the Perl syntax checker to prevent hanging processes.

2.99.20

Bugfixes

• missed utf8 output stream initialization for subsequent requests in mod_perl/SpeedyCGI context.

2.99.19

Features

• New project attribute 'utf8', which makes a project Unicode aware. Default mime-type/charset is utf-8, all CGI parameters are expected to be utf8 encoded. All values in the database are expected to be utf8 encoded. utf8 upgrading / utf8on is done on all I/O variables (for CGI and SQL). Requires Perl 5.8.0

2.99.18

Bugfixes

• finally fixed whitespace generation problems. Now CIPP3 behaves exactly like CIPP2
• sometimes the Perl checker process hangs - this is prevented by a 5 seconds timeout.

2.99.17

Bugfixes

• Whitespace between CIPP tags was removed entirely, what could mess up HTML formatting. Now whitespace appears as is.

2.99.16

!!! Note: you must recompile your project after

upgrading to this version !!!

Features

• updated CIPP::Manual
• the script doc/create_pdf.sh creates a nice looking PDF version of CIPP::Manual. It requires pod2html and ps2pdf.

Bugfixes

• SpeedyCGI context: internal request object wasn't destroyed at the end of a request if a DBI database handle was stored in a global variable, because the request object was referenced by the database handle through a closure. This out of sync request destruction could lead to memory leaks or other problems.
• internal CIPP::Request object was passed unnecessarily to Include subroutines.
• newlines were always generated, even for such constructs: no<?IF COND="1">newline<?/IF>here.

2.99.15

Bugfixes

• <?SQL MY RESULT> didn't work
• internal exception if an include file wasn't readable

2.99.14

Features

• revised internal API naming convention
• documented CIPP::Request interface for public access (not stable yet, interface may change)
• local Perl syntax check for subroutines defined with <?SUB>. This reports illegal usage of global lexical variables inside the subroutine. The new option <?SUB ... IMPORT="$foo"> tells the syntax checker, that access to $foo is explicitely allowed (e.g. if you need access to lexically defined class variables) Note: the IMPORT option was also added to CIPP2 2.47,

  as a no-op, so you can use this in CIPP3 programs, which must compile under CIPP2 as well.

• new command: <?FRAME SRC>

Bugfixes

• processing cipp-html objects left files in /tmp
• internal exception handling fixed: error messages of exceptions caught with <?TRY> were printed out.

2.99.13

Features

• new option <?GETURL PATHINFO="">
• new option <?SQL COND>: With <?SQL COND="$foo < $bar"> data will only be fetched as long as the condition $foo < $bar is true.
• <?AUTOCOMMIT ON/OFF> throws an exception, if AutoCommit is already on (resp. off)
• <?COMMIT> and <?ROLLBACK> throw an exception, if AutoCommit is enabled.
• new parser internal attribute url_par_delimiter, which defines the delimiter for URL parameters (& or ;). The ; delimiter prevents problems with entity interpolation in URL's (e.g. &not)
• error message reporting enhanced. Stack backtrace with CIPP and Perl line numbers where possible.
• if a CGI program is started only a ASCII formatted error message is shown, instead of the sophisticated HTML version.
• <?IMG> tag determines image geometry at runtime and set WIDTH/HEIGHT attributes accordingly, if not explicetly set by the author. Needs Image::Size on the development system, which is autodetected. If not available this feature is silently disabled.

Bugfixes

• <?SQL RESULT> gives 0 instead of 0E0, if no rows were processed.
• newlines at the end of parameter lists (e.g. <?INCINTERFACE OPTIONAL="... <nl>") weren't removed, which results in Perl syntax errors sometimes.

2.99.12

Bugfixes

• prod directory path of a module wasn't created automatically

2.99.11

Bugfixes

• <?IMG> command produced linefeed after <img> tag.

2.99.10

Bugfixes

• <?OPTION> tag was broken

2.99.9 Wed Apr 17 2002, joern

Features

• strip whitespace from SQL commands before passing them to DBI. MSSQL hangs if a SQL statement begins with a TAB or NL character... sigh
• CIPP::Runtime Version 0.40 copied from CIPP2 Distribution. This way mixing CIPP2 and CIPP3 projects on production systems should be possible (untested yet)

2.99.8 Tue Apr 08 2002, joern

Features

• support for brief error reports in new.spirit cmd line mode

2.99.7 Fri Apr 05 2002, joern

Bugfxies

• <?GETPARAM>, <?GETPARAMLIST> didn't work

2.99.6 Fri Mar 22 2002, joern

Bugfixes

• fixed bug in cached error mechanism

2.99.5 Wed Jan 31 2002, joern

Bugfixes

• <?GETURL> did not work on jar files
• <?SUB> subroutine not found in main package
• <?SQL> no trim of trailing semicolon
• CIPP module initilization failed on inherited classes
• <?GETURL RUNTIME> did not work

2.99.4 Wed Jan 30 2002, joern

Bugfixes

• many CIPP object types couldn't be resolved in new.spirit mode
• variable list parsing was too sensitive, e.g. hash derefences and stuff were rejected by the parser
• static text objects had no URL

Major / Incompatible Changes to CIPP 2.x

• <?INTERFACE>, <?INCINTERFACE> may only be used one time per program, and only in CGIs resp. Includes
• no defaulting to scalar variables when no $@% is given
• <?VAR>: DEFAULT did not work with NOQUOTE
• <?LOG>: throws an exception if something gets wrong
• variable name / option case is preserved for these statements now:
• <?MY>
• <?DUMP>
• <?TEXTAREA>
• immediate tag closing for emtpy block tags: <?SQL SQL="insert into ..." />
• always "use strict"
• <?FETCHUPLOAD>
• <?MODULE NAME="X" ISA="A, B, C">
