Mason is a component-based web site development system with caching,
debugging, and previewing facilities. Check out http://www.masonhq.com
for more information.
Dave Rolsky ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) was the primary developer on this release.
Changes in 0.88:
- Fixed broken Parser postprocessor code (broken since 0.85). Added
tests for this code path as well as the preprocessor feature.
(Reported by Tim Bishop).
- Replaced lots of simple accessors with new HTML::Mason::MethodMaker
(which just makes simple read-only and read-write accessor methods).
- Removed all direct hash key access from one object into another.
- Removed all unneeded uses of Exporter in various modules.
- Added warning about using mod_perl as a DSO to README file.
- Added 'cgi_object' method to HTML::Mason::Request::ApacheHandler.
This method returns the CGI object Mason uses internally (unless
you're using Apache::Request instead in which case its a fatal error).
Added documentation for this. (suggested by many people).
- Squashed warning in assignment to %ARGS in component sub body.
- Fixed call_method and scall_method to take arbitrary list of args
instead of hash.
- Fixed expression escape flags to allow arbitrary following
whitespace. (reported by Mikhail Zabaluev)
- Added FAQ on how to handle file uploads.
- $m->cache returns the value stored on a successful store action.
- Reduced memory usage by removing unneeded uses of various modules.
On my box I see about a 500k or so reduction in memory use (Dave).
- Removed all uses of the IO::* modules.
- Mason seems to be working under a mod_perl DSO, at least under
mod_perl 1.24 and Apache 1.3.12. This probably has nothing to do with
Mason but the very adventurous are encouraged to experiment with a
mod_perl DSO and report back to the mason list.
