Revision history for Perl extension Apache2::ASP.

2.46    2011-03-25
  - !!DEPRECATED!! in favor of ASP4.
  - Please don't use Apache2::ASP for any new development.
  - Use ASP4 instead; it is much better, faster and maintained.
  - Upgrading from Apache2::ASP to ASP4 is quite easy - just convert your
    apache2-asp-config.xml to asp4-config.json, update/remove your GlobalASA.pm
    and update your httpd.conf.

2.45    2009-11-20
  - Fixed* a bug that caused deeeeeeeeply nested Master/Child page scenarios to cause
    the MasterPage's ASP objects ($Response, $Request, etc) to not get initialized.
    This fixes the dreaded "Cannot call 'Write' on an undefined value - line 1" error.
    * Involves deleting your page cache before the udpate will take full effect!

2.44    2009-11-17
  - Got rid of annoying "Software caused connection abort" errors.

2.43    2009-11-16
  - Requests to handlers that don't exist will now result in a 404 error, not a 500 error.

2.42    2009-11-11
  - You can now test multiple websites at the same time (eg: Public and Admin websites)
    from within the same test script.  Example given in POD for Apache2::ASP::API

2.41    2009-10-14
  - Bugfix: Errors will now appear on-screen, rather than the default Apache error.

2.40    2009-10-14
  - Enhancement: multipart/form-data posts to MediaManagers no longer require
    actual files to be uploaded.  Useful for forms that have an optional file upload field.

2.39    2009-08-23
  - Bugfix:  Deeply-nexted MasterPage setups sometimes did not initialize the
    intrinsic ASP objects in the root-most MasterPage ($Response, $Session, etc).

2.38    2009-08-09
  - Bugfix: $Response->Redirect in a handler after $Response->TrapInclude gave
    errors "Response.Status cannot be changed after headers have been sent" (this
    is now fixed).

2.37    2009-06-10
  - API change: Upload hooks are deprecated and all but disabled.
  - Bugfix: The upload_start event was not getting called for UploadHandler or its subclasses.

2.37_03 2009-05-19
  - Bugfix: On Apache2 under Gentoo (perhaps others as well) HTTPContext->send_headers
    was not always called before content was written to the client.  This caused
    cookies and other headers to not get written to the client.

2.37_02 2009-05-14
  - Uploads' filehandle was not closed, causing problems where the last few bytes
    were not flushed to disk.

2.37_01 2009-05-13
  - Working on removing the dependency on libapreq2.  It is just too much pain.
  - Several minor fixes and performance tweaks.

2.36  2009-03-21
  - MediaManager updates.  pnotes has proven unstable.
  - Upgraded to Module::Install.
  - Restructured tests into numerically sequential folders.
  - Added several tests to improve code-coverage.
  - Removed some unused code from Response.
  - Server.URLDecode now does the Right Thing for utf-8 characters.
  - Added 'encoding' from 'Encode' as a prerequisite.

2.35  2009-03-11
  - Minor updates here and there.

2.34  2009-03-03
  - Was setting content-length header twice in MediaManager.

2.33  2009-03-03
  - HTTP headers out were having issues.

2.32  2009-03-01
  - Added Apache2::ASP::HTTPContext::SubContext
  - Added t/htdocs/subcontext/*.asp
  - Added t/handlers/simple.pm
  - Re-worked the way Response.Include and Response.TrapInclude work on the inside.
  - No external changes were made.

2.31  2009-02-19
  - Apache2::ASP::HTTPContext order of operations during setup_request was updated.
  - Apache2::ASP::ModPerl returns proper error HTTP codes when errors occur.
  - Requests for non-existent *.asp scripts returns a proper 404.
  - Apache2::ASP::HTTPContext copes better with syntax errors in handlers.
  - Missing handlers are coped with better now.

2.30  2009-02-19
  - Apache2::ASP::ASPPage was misreporting line numbers.

2.29  2009-02-15
  - Added Apache2::ASP::SessionStateManager::Memcached
  - Added Apache2::ASP::ApplicationStateManager::Memcached
  - Both Memcached state managers require Cache::Memcached.
  - Fixed a few outgoing HTTP header bugs which prevented Safari from handling
    $Response->Redirect behaviors properly, and caused LWP::UserAgent to give
    warnings about 'got EOF when chunk expected' and "x-client: died" errors.
  - Added Apache2::ASP::HTTPContext::FilterResolver
  - Added Apache2::ASP::HTTPContext::HandlerResolver
  - Added Apache2::ASP::HTTPContext::HandlerRunner
  - Major refactoring of Apache2::ASP::HTTPContext

2.28  2009-02-12
  - Refactored a few things causing big slowdowns.  Devel::NYTProf++!

2.27  2009-02-09
  - Typo in ConfigParser.pm

2.26  2009-02-09
  - Forgot the *::NonPersisted state managers in the MANIFEST

2.25  2009-02-09
  - Added <disable_persistence> element to the XML config. Disabling persistence
    for high-traffic pages is sometimes necessary and/or desirable.

2.24  2009-02-03
  - Narrowed the search for leaked open filehandles to Apache2::ASP::SimpleCGI
    when handling a file upload in test/API mode.  Added DESTROY handler to close
    any remaining filehandles when the object goes out of scope.

2.23  2009-02-01
  - "Too many open filehandles" error was popping up.  Attempting to use IO::File
    to solve this problem.
  - Added IO::File as a prerequisite file.

2.22  2009-01-31
  - Apache2::ASP::MediaManager was misbehaving when attempting to delete a file
    no longer on disk.

2.21  2009-01-31
  - Apache2::ASP::MediaManager was incorrectly printing the content-disposition
    header, causing some browsers to append an extra "," to the end of filesnames
    when they were downloaded.

2.20  2009-01-30
  - Fixed documentation for Apache2::ASP::Mock::Connection

2.19  2009-01-30
  - Fixed documentation for Apache2::ASP::Test::Base.

2.18  2009-01-29
  - Added a lot more documentation.
  - Under Apache2::ASP::Test::Base and Apache2::ASP::API, $Server->RegisterCleanup now
    gets called at the end of each request - not when the pool object goes out
    of scope (which caused some unwanted behavior).

2.17  2009-01-28
  - More tweaking.  Please upgrade to this version.

2.16  2009-01-28
  - Apache2::ASP::Mock::RequestRec sometimes confess()ed if Response->Include was called.

2.15  2009-01-28
  - Made some minor tweaks to the way uploads are handled internally.  No public changes.

2.14  2009-01-25
  - <asp:Content/> tags inside of pages that use MasterPages were not being passed 
    TrapInclude or Include arguments (i.e. $Response->Include("/page.asp", { arg1 => "foo" }) ).

2.13  2009-01-25
  - Apache2::ASP::MediaManager did not provide any content-type header for
    file types not listed in MIME::Types (eg: *.ogv).  Now "application/octet-stream"
    is returned when MIME::Types does not return anything.

2.12  2009-01-20
  - The "Cookies" HTTP header was not properly handled in the Test UserAgent.
  - Incoming HTTP headers were comingled with outgoing HTTP headers in HTTPContext.

2.11  2009-01-10
  - Several fixes to cookie behavior problems.
  - Removed <module>Class::DBI::Lite</module> from apache2-asp-config.xml.

2.10  2009-01-05
  - The Set-Cookie header for session state no longer includes the domain parameter.

2.09  2008-12-12
  - Apache2::ASP::API->get("/") or get("/folder-name/") works as expected (without
    forcing you to include "/index.asp" at the end.
  - Added 05.00-folder-uri.t to make sure that "/folder-name/" URI's are supported
    via the programmatic API.
  - After testing, we remove /tmp/asp_*

2.08  2008-12-10
  - Updated the POD for Apache2::ASP::API.

2.07  2008-12-10
  - $ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT} is persisted between requests when using Apache2::ASP::Test::UserAgent.
  - Added Apache2::ASP::API

2.06  2008-12-03
  - Removed a failing test.

2.05  2008-12-03
  - asphelper adds /etc/properties.yaml and /etc/test_fixtures.yaml, as well as
    an example "contact form" page, handler and unit test.

2.04  2008-12-02
  - Updated asphelper script.  It was writing a GlobalASA.pm with a syntax error.
  - Added more tests.

2.03  2008-12-01
  - Updated ASPPage to handle parsing MasterPages that include code similar to the following:
  <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="meta_description"><meta name="description" content="" /></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
  <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="meta_keywords"><meta name="keywords" content="" /></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

2.02  2008-12-01
  - Sometimes @INC would not contain all of the directories specified under <libs>
    in the config.  This bug should now be fixed.

2.01  2008-11-30
  - The codebase is solid and has been running several relatively high-traffic
    websites for several months.  Time for a production release of the 2.x code.

2.00_26   2008-11-20

Changes  view on Meta::CPAN

  - Moved asphelper and runasp into the sbin/* directory in the distribution.
  - Added Test::Memory::Cycle to the PREREQ_RPM list in Makefile.PL
  - Fixed a (hopefully) rare corner-case in which thaw($Application) would return
    undef - the solution was to default to an empty hashref { }.
  - Fixed a but in ASPPage in which empty asp:ContentPlaceHolder tags in MasterPages
    caused the "%s does not define an asp:ContentPlaceHolder with an id of %s" error
    even for legitimate child pages.
  - Added Apache2::ASP::ConfigNode::System::Settings.
  - $Config->system->settings->someSettingName works as expected.

  - Updated configuration DTD for <errors> section.
  - Apache2::ASP::ModPerl now correctly returns a 0 value and sets $r->status.
  - $Server->RegisterCleanup references the correct Apache2::RequestRec object.
  - Added "runasp," the command-line interface to run ASP scripts.

2.00_17   2008-11-04
  - Fixed a bug which caused Apache2::ASP::Test::UserAgent to not get the
    output buffer content from the correct Mock request object (meaning that
    $s->ua->get('/url.asp')->content was always empty.
  - Added test to make sure that the above fix stays in place.
  - Internal changes within HTTPContext WRT self-hash-notation upgraded to get_prop().

2.00_16   2008-11-03
  - ASPPage mkdir's each missing part of the page cache.

  - Nested master pages are now supported.

2.00_13   2008-10-30
  - Each upload form submission should now include a unique "uploadID=xxx" value.
  - Multiple concurrent uploads from the same user under the same session are
    now supported because of the uploadID=xxx logic.

2.00_12   2008-10-29
  - (handler)->init_asp_objects( $context ) was not getting called correctly.

2.00_11   2008-10-29

  - Adjustments to HTTPContext to better support massive stack-depths of "inner" HTTPContexts.

2.00_06   2008-10-22
  - Tweaks in ApplicationStateManager and SessionStateManager to avoid a transaction
    race condition.

    setting %ENV vars, @INC modifications and loading modules as specified
    in the config xml file.
  - Code Coverage: 70.50% (average:stmt+bran+cond+sub)
  - Bugfix: Application->save was getting called at the beginning and end of 
    *every* request.  This behavior has been fixed.

2.00_01   2008-10-15
  - Complete rewrite.
  !!!! BREAKING CHANGES !!!!
    - XML Config file format is different!  See docs for details!
    - Apache Config file is different!  See docs for details!
  - Now "master pages" are supported a la ASP.Net (i.e. named placeholders).
  - Session and Application are only saved to database if they have been changed
    during the course of the request:
  - Major performance increase.  Using master pages instead of includes can
    further increase performance.
  - Basic tags support has been suspended for now.
  - Removed dependency Datetime::Duration.
  - Removed dependency Sys::Hostname.
  

1.59 2008-08-16
  - Added missing file t/htdocs/virtualinclude.asp to the MANIFEST
    so all tests should pass now.

1.58 2008-08-06
  - Now <!-- #include virtual="/file.asp" --> and 
    <!-- #include file="/abs/path/to/file.asp" --> work as you might expect.
    This means that Apache2::ASP will work nicely with DreamWeaver and other
    popular WYSIWYG's that can parse that sort of include directive.

1.57 2008-08-06
  - Removed POD for Request->Document.  Server-side DOM will have to wait.
  - New in this release is basic "Tags" support.  See Apache2::ASP::Tag for details.

1.56_02 2008-08-02
  - Added documentation for all Apache2::ASP::DOM::* classes.

1.56_1  2008-08-01
  - Added preliminary support for "XMLSubs"-esque tags.
  - Added preliminary (experimental) support for (!simple!) server-side DOM.
    (**Does not merge $Response->Include()'ed DOM with parent DOM).

1.55 2008-07-13
  - Apache2::ASP::SessionStateManager now uses the correct database connection.
    This problem would only come up when multiple Apache2::ASP web applications
    using different session data sources were running under the same Apache
    instance.
  - Ditto for Apache2::ASP::ApplicationStateManager.

1.54 2008-07-05
  - Adjusted Apache2::ASP::MediaManager so that it will not unlink the /MEDIA
    directory if someone attempts to delete a file and neglects to specify
    which file should be deleted.
  - Also updated Apache2::ASP::MediaManager to more gracefully handle missing
    uploaded files.

1.53 2008-07-05
  - Fixed a bug that caused Apache2::ASP::Config to die if no request filters
    were specified within the <request_filters> element in the config file.

1.52 2008-06-18
  - While using Apache2::ASP::Test::Base, $ENV{APACHE2_ASP_APPLICATION_ROOT} 
    is now persisted between requests.  This means that if (somewhere else)
    you set $ENV{APACHE2_ASP_APPLICATION_ROOT} in your code, it will persist
    between requests.

1.51 2008-06-12
  - Speed improvements, up to 100% faster now due to the following:
  - Added XML::Parser as a requirement.
  - Caching (in memory) Configuration data on a per-domain basis.

1.49 2008-05-29
  - Memory leaks are now completely gone.
  - Speed improvements (20% faster than v1.47).

1.48 2008-05-27
  - $Request->Form returns a singleton hash for the duration of
    a request.  This means that modifications to the global $Form
    object are available to other "areas" of your web application
    for the rest of the same request.

1.47 2008-05-26
  - $Request->QueryString('field') returns the querystring value for 'field'.
  - $Request->QueryString returns $ENV{HTTP_QUERYSTRING}.

1.46 2008-05-21
  - Apache2::ASP::MediaManager::before_download() must return true
    before the filehandle is opened (for the file about to be downloaded).
  - Apache2::ASP::MediaManager's before_delete() and after_delete() methods
    are now also passed the full path to the file that is to be deleted.

1.45 2008-05-15
  - Minor adjustments.

1.44 2008-05-14
  - Minor speed improvements (20% faster).
  - Miscellaneous fixes here and there.

1.43 2008-05-13
  - Fixed some damaged documentation.

1.42 2008-05-13
  - New media manager tests didn't make it in to the last release.

1.41 2008-05-13
  - Apache2::ASP::GlobalConfig will now also look 1 level "up" from
    the current working directory (retrieved from Cwd) for the 
    apache2-asp-config.xml file.  This is important for when you have
    (for example) an /sbin/ folder with asp-related scripts.
  - Added method $Server->URLDecode( $str ).
  - Minor tweaks to Apache2::ASP::MediaManager and Apache2::ASP::Test::UserAgent
    to allow testing of MediaManager classes/handlers from the command-line.
  - Added some missing POD for Apache2::ASP::Config and Apache2::ASP::Config::Node.
  - Added tests for Apache2::ASP::MediaManager.
  - Added tests for "wizard" functionality (multiple-step forms, anyways).
