Hello everybody, The AxKit team are proud to announce the first release of the AxKit codebase under the Apache banner. A small team of hard working developers have feverishly worked away to bring you this release.
AxKit is a high quality XML application server, built using the Apache framework, and the mod_perl Perl+Apache integration system. This gives you a high performance server with most of the time spent in compiled code, combined with the dynamic compilation capabilities that Perl brings you, integrating great Apache and XML technologies such as XSLT, XSP, and XPathScript. As usual, the code is available for download directly from axkit.org, at http://axkit.org/download/, or via Perl's CPAN. Please use CPAN if you can as it spreads the bandwidth usage out. Also available only on CPAN is an AxKit-Needs distribution, which you will find in http://cpan.valueclick.com/modules/by-authors/id/M/MS/MSERGEANT/ (may take a few hours to synchronise around the globe). This file contains everything you need to get an AxKit server up and running as fast as possible, including all prerequisite C libraries and Perl modules. For those of you who are new to AxKit, please also note that this month perl.com <URL:http://www.perl.com/> are running an introductory article on AxKit, which begins a series of articles from initial installation to building large scale dynamic web sites. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + This release is mostly a bug fix release over AxKit 1.5, fixing a few minor issues listed below: - AxKit now allows XSP pages to return a HTTP result code to make redirects and other HTTP status codes easier. - Added options to allow form/querystring params to *not* be passed to XSLT processing. - A number of XSP bug fixes, including broken namespaces prefix issues. - Fixed all Plugins to return the constant OK, as needed. - All plugins renamed to Apache::AxKit::Plugin namespace (old installs should continue to work by virtue of the old file remaining). - added SimpleTaglib, a powerful TaglibHelper alternative that uses Perl 5.6.0 method attributes to define functions which are taglibs. - added beginnings of a demo site, not yet fully functional, but already contains some useful example code. -- <!-- Matt --> <:->Get a smart net</:-> --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
