I'd like to start the petition for the release of a new version. I've been seeing a number of problems that have been posted to this list that all have the same answer, "get the latest version of [some file] from the repository".
While this solution may sit well with some people, there are likely a number of us (obviously myself being one of them) who are not able to download individual files when installing webware. For myself, this is because my company gives the client a list of software that has to be installed on their machines. And telling the clients to install webware 0.8.1 plus version 1.27 of file X and version 1.13 of file Y, etc, etc, etc is just not possible. And since having them install code that has not been tested by us/me is not acceptable, telling them to pull the latest version from the CVS repository is also not advisable. Perhaps this is just being caused by my having to run webware on windows machines. But even then I would argue that since the current release of webware does not function as expected with the current release of the win32all extensions that a change is needed. I just spent the last few weeks in a wasted search for the cause of the problem that was crashing all of my python processes. I didn't find the solution until I gave up on that problem and started working on how to get webkit to run as a pythonservice on NT. And even then I only found the solution by browsing the repository looking for files that had changed between now and the release of version 0.8.1 (It turns out that signal.signal does not work with win32all release 163 or greater). Perhaps there was a better way for me to investigate the problem, but the fact remains that if there had been a newer version of webware that included all of the recent bug fixes (most of which are a few months old) this would not have happened. Thanks for listening/reading and hopefully we will be seeing a new release soonish.
