Hi,
As we have mentioned several times on this list mod_perl 2.0 will be released when a selected API will be reviewed, tested and documented and the release todo file http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/modperl-2.0/todo/release gets emptied.
This is the first installment of getting to the final goal of releasing 2.0 and it requires your attention.
--------------------------------------------------------
Here are the first 15 modules that have their API more or less frozen, tested and documented. Make sure you read the man pages thoroughly, since once 2.0.0 is released we will not be able to change the existing API in the following 2.0.x releases, if the changes break backwards compatibility with 2.0.0 release. At the moment we can still change things, therefore please make sure that you review the following man pages:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/Base64.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/Brigade.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/Bucket.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/BucketAlloc.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/BucketType.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/Date.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/Error.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/IpSubnet.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/Pool.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/SockAddr.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/Socket.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/Table.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/ThreadMutex.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/URI.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/APR/Util.html
Quite a few methods have changed since 1.99_14 release. You will need to use the current mod_perl cvs http://perl.apache.org/download/source.html#Development_mod_perl_2_0_Source_Distribution in order to match the documentation if you try to code or port things. You can refer to the Changes file to see what has changed since the last release: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/modperl-2.0/Changes
If you want to discuss a certain module or a function, please don't reply to this email but start a separate thread using a relevant subject name. For example:
[mp2] APR::Socket::recv issues
Contributions in the form of patches to the code, tests and documentations are more than welcome. Here is how you can contribute:
If you wish to send documentation fixes and improvements please use the modperl-docs repository as explained here: http://perl.apache.org/download/docs.html http://perl.apache.org/contribute/cvs_howto.html#Sending_Patches
If you wish to help us and write more tests, please send patches against the current mod_perl cvs: http://perl.apache.org/download/source.html#Development_mod_perl_2_0_Source_Distribution
Thank you.
------------------------------------------------------------
I still have several issues with a few APR:: modules not listed above, but I'm going to work on the Apache:: modules next. So the next installment will include a batch of Apache:: API man pages to review.
