I am happy to anounnce Embperl 3.0.0. It is the first release after 8 years and it brings Embperl up to date with current linux distributions and software.
This is the first release candidate. Please give it a try and and send feedback to the Embperl mailinglist. The release candidate is available from https://www.embperl.org/downloads/Embperl-3.0.0_1.tar.gz For installation instructions see INSTALL.pod The release mainly incoporates the patches for Debian and for Fedora based systems. It also includes some small fixes from myself. There are no new features for Embperl itself in this release, but Embperl::Form has a lot of enhancements. If you use Embperl::Form, please test before use. I like to thank all the people who have continually put work into Embperl: - The Debian Perl Group, especially Dominic Hargreaves, Florian Schlichting and Axel Beckert - Marcus Doemling for the Fedora patches and others. Please note the webiste athttp://www.embperl.org has also been updated to reflect the update. perl.apache.org/embperl is not yet updated, but will be soon. Changes in 3.0.0-rc.1 31. Sept 2023 - Apply debian patches (https://sources.debian.org/patches/libembperl-perl/2.5.0-17/). Thanks to the Debian Perl Group, especially Dominic Hargreaves, Florian Schlichting and Axel Beckert - Apply patches for fedora (https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=148621 and https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=148702) Thanks to Marcus Doemling - Fixed compilation/Makefile of/for libxml2 and libxslt - Fixed warnings about undefined values in log. Note this is done by goning back to the old behaviour, were using uninitialized values were not a warning. So if you like to have warnings about uninitialized values add [* use warnings "uninitialized" *] to your code. - Add a lot of enhancements to Embperl::Form
