Howdy,
I'm the one that made most of "assumed good" changes to AOLserver 4.5
-- my fault. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Is there a
complete list of changes to right that wrong? I may be able to hack
in the fixes quickly -- I'm just not sure the scope because I'm way
behind on the mailing list.
BTW: I like config-based control of compression. Also, there's some
cool ADP caching stuff in 4.5 that let's you dynamically update just a
few parts of an ADP, leaving the rest pre-compiled for a time. Not
sure if folks have been using/testing that.

I haven't switched to 4.5 (nor, I believe, have most of the openacs
folks running production sites). In my case it's because I didn't
care for the private decision-making process that led to the
breaking of existing config files, not to mention the issues raised
by Tom Jackson, and the unpleasant experiences of a couple of large
university sites that tried, experimentally to use it (U Wien,
Gustaf Neumann's home, is using it successfully, though, and claims
it's great as long as you reboot it every night).
(I'm fairly certain that a public discussion would've led to at
least the requirement that the min/maxthread params in the config
file be taken as the initial value for the new dynamic parameters,
but that's over, you did what you wanted to do, and apparently the
community gets to live with it).
Because of this, I'm unlikely to offer to help. As you know, I've
made minor contributions in the past (maintained the postgres driver
and made it far more robust in the face of pg backend crashes,
though thankfully pg has gotten so good I don't think it does so any
more, in practice; made ns_cache virtual-server aware), but my
volunteer time is focused on OpenACS.
And 4.0 is stable for OpenACS ... at this point, all I care about is
running stable, efficient sites for my clients.
So I guess I should just butt out of the discussion.
