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 second installment of getting to the final goal of releasing 2.0 and it requires your attention.
--------------------------------------------------------
Here are the second 15 modules set, 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/Apache/Access.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/Filter.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/FilterRec.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/PerlSections.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/Process.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/Reload.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/RequestIO.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/RequestRec.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/RequestUtil.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/Response.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/ServerRec.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/ServerUtil.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/SubProcess.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/ModPerl/Global.html http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/ModPerl/MethodLookup.html
These 15 modules include 208 functions and methods.
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] Apache::Access::requires 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.
--------------------------------------------------------
If you've missed the first installment posted on May 27th, here is the first 15 modules set:
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
These 15 modules include 101 functions and methods.
--------------------------------------------------------
The 3rd installment will include the last 15 api modules, which include the remaining 149 functions and methods.
--------------------------------------------------------
So at the moment we plan to ship mod_perl 2.0 with an API of about 450 functions and methods, all tested and documented.
