The 'early release notes' and the quick update email are what I have to refer to for on-rev:
http://samples.on-rev.com/irev-engine-notes.txt (mark's original notes) here's additional info from a later mark w. email -------------------------snip--------------------------- on-rev clients * Mac OS X: http://www.on-rev.com/templates/onrev/files/onrevosx.dmg * Windows: http://www.on-rev.com/templates/onrev/files/onrevwindows.exe New Features: new errormode property which specifies how error messages are handled • inline: display errors html formatted within page output • stderr: errors are not displayed but will appear in server error logs • quiet: no error display New $_POST_RAW variable Fixes: • include of empty file name no longer outputs spurious characters, now throws an appropriate error (bad filename) • engine crash when setting http headers • PATH_TRANSLATED now contains the path to the running script file when the requested url contains extra path info after the script path • PATH_INFO contains the extra path info -------------------------snip--------------------------- On 9 May 2010 13:26, J.
