I have done a lot of fine tuning and error fixing since 2.0b7. Also Embperl
now supports mod_perl 2.0 with prefork MPM (threaded MPM will require Perl
5.8.0). The docs are moveing towards 2.0, but some features are still only
documentent in README.v2.

Everybody who is running a copy of Embperl 2, should upgrade to 2.0b8,
because this will improve stabibility.

Enjoy

Gerald

Changes since 2.0b7:

2.0b8  (BETA)  25. Juni 2002

   - exit can now exit the whole request. When called without argument
     it exits the current component, like before, when called with argument
     it exits the whole request.
   - Added support for Apache 2.0 / mod_perl 2.0 (prefork MPM).
   - Added the possibility to catch the output of a sub-request
     (e.g. a CGI script, Java or PHP output) when running under Apache 2.0
   - when setting $r -> param -> filename in an application object
     to a relativ path it is interpreted relativ to original request
   - Start to catch up with new features of Embperl 2 in the docs. Added
     Config.pod for configuration and calling.
   - Lots of improvments in the new Embperl website, which serves as best
     example for using the new Embperl 2 features. It's part of the
distribution
     and can be found under eg/web. See eg/web/README.
   - fixed bug with setting of escmode and print Out reported by
     Eric-Olivier Le Bigot.
   - fixed incorrected escaping inside of an URL when expanding an hash
     or array reference. Reported by Axel Beckert.
   - fixed possible endless loop when expanding hash or array inside of
     an URL.
   - fixed a segfault that occured when source file encryption was enabled.
     Reported by Edwin Ramirez.
   - fixed a segfault that occured when no input file is given. Reported by
     Edwin Ramirez.
   - fixed a segfault that occured on solaris when input comes from memory.
     Reported by Mike Wesemann.
   - readd possibility to build version with and without Apache support
     on windows.
   - Remove Content-Length: 0 HTTP-Header in CGI Mode
   - Fixed segfault when replacing an attribute. Reported by Michael
Stevens.
   - Fixed random segfaults, that had occured when Perl had reallocated it's
     internal Stack.
   - When apache is started with -D EMBPERL_APDEBUG, it outputs a
     configuration trace.
   - When file is not found, Embperl::Object now returns status 404, instead
     of 500. Reported by Cameron McBride.
   - When optReturnError is set, Embperl::Object now really returns the
error code.
     Reported by Cameron McBride.
   - Fixed a reference count error when using the import parameter. Reported
     by Michael Smith.
   - Fixed string reference counting problem in RTF&POD syntax.
   - Fixed a segfault that had occured when a file with a syntax error is
     compiled the second time within the same process. Reported by
     Michael Smith.
   - removed do { } around expressions of [+ +] blocks inside urls, because
     this cost performance and now all [+ +] behaves the same. Reported by
     Michael Smith.
   - make stop now works also on windows.
   - make start, which can be used to view/test the Embperl website localy,
     now displays the URL how to request the site.
   - libxslt does correct error reporting now.
   - libxslt output encoding is now recognized correctly.
   - set Content-Length when sending error page, so Internet Explorer won't
show
     his own error page.
