1.31  August 20, 2005

    [ BUG FIXES ]

    - Fix several regressions in the CGIHandler and FakeApache modules.
      Some changes from the stable branch were never merged into the trunk
      before 1.30.  Reported by Jesse Vincent.  Task id #589.

    - Under Apache2, if an ApacheHandler object was created during server
      startup and the associated Interp object created any files or
      directories, Mason would crash when attempting to chown those
      files/dirs to the uid/gid that Apache will use after forking.  Task
      #586.

    - The compiler was adding an extra block around a component's
      body, which meant that variables declared in the body (in perl lines
      or blocks) were not seen in the cleanup section.  Task id #587.

    - The compiler was also adding "no warnings 'uninitialized'" in this
      block, which could hide various errors.

    - Hopefully fix $VERSION in ApacheHandler so PAUSE will not be
      confused and think we have regressed.

    - Turned off some prompts during the module's installation.  These
      were intended to help new users configure Apache to run Mason
      components, but they're probably a bit confusing.  Will return in a
      future release as a separate script that can be run from the command
      line.

1.30  August 11, 2005

    [ INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES ]

    - ** Under mod_perl2, MasonArgsMethod will default to "CGI", since
      libapreq2 is still in development.  If you have successfully installed
      libapreq2, just set MasonArgsMethod to "mod_perl" to use it.

    [ ENHANCEMENTS ]

    - Some doc tweaks to clarify that Mason should work out of the box
      with both mod_perl 1 and 2.
    - Added "use warnings" to all modules and made sure all tests ran
      warnings-free.

    [ BUG FIXES ]

    - Silence a warning when HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler was loaded outside
      of mod_perl.
    - Support renamed Apache2::Status module.

1.29_02  June 22, 2005

    [ ENHANCEMENTS ]

    - ** Support for mod_perl-2.00 (mod_perl-1.99 is no longer supported
      because of API changes in 2.0RC5).
    - Mason recovers more gracefully from an empty or corrupted object
      file. Task id #579.

    [ BUG FIXES ]

    - Fixed bug with content type being reset when decline_dirs=0.
      Submitted by Brian Phillips. Task id #584.
    - Put "Mason" prefix back in Params.pod. Task id #575.
    - Fixed fetch_comp(undef) to not return an empty hash. Task id #578.
    - static_source_touch_file did not take effect until after one request
      for a top-level component.  Reported by Lai Zit Seng. Task id #576.

1.29_01  January 25, 2005

    [ INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES ]

    - ** Mason now requires Perl 5.6.0 or later. However, because 5.6.0
      has so many problems, it cannot be officially supported; we strongly
      recommend upgrading to at least 5.6.1.
    - ** Mason now requires version 1.24 of mod_perl in the ApacheHandler
      module.
    - ** The behaviors of $m->flush_buffer and $m->clear_buffer have been
      simplified. $m->flush_buffer only acts on the top-level output buffer;
      $m->clear_buffer clears all output buffers. Task id #554.
    - ** max_code_cache_size is now kept in terms of number of components,
      not bytes, and its default value is 'unlimited'.
    - ** Components with a <%filter> and a cache_self are no longer cached
      in their filtered state. Performance-related code simplifications made
      this behavior difficult to maintain. Long term this would be
      easier to implement with a cache_self component <%flag>.
    - ** All compiler properties are now read-only. If you need to change
      compiler properties on a per-request basis, you'll need to create
      multiple compiler and interpreter objects.
    - ** comp_exists may try to load the designated component, and may
      throw an error if it contains a syntax error.
    - ** The current_time method, deprecated in 1.1x, has been removed.
    - ** The HTML::Mason::Buffer class has been eliminated for performance
      reasons. You can use separate components, methods, or subcomponents
      and scomp to achieve the same effects as buffer pushes and pops.

    [ ENHANCEMENTS ]

    - Significantly improved performance in component execution,
      especially in static_source mode.
    - Added static_source_touch_file, making it much easier to update
      a server running in static_source mode.
    - Added a plugin architecture. Plugin classes can perform actions at
      key points, e.g. before and after each request and each component
      call.  See HTML::Mason::Plugin for documentation. Task id #24.
      Initial implementation by Doug Treder.
    - Added the ability to change component root(s) on the fly if the
      dynamic_comp_root parameter is turned on. Task id #561. Suggested
      by Alex Robinson.
    - Added enable_autoflush parameter. When turned off, Mason can
      compile components to a more efficient form.
    - Changed the </&> tag to allow the starting component name to be
      included. e.g. <&| /foo &> ... </& /foo >. Task id #556. Suggested
      by Alex Robinson, John Williams, and others.
    - Moved the notion of component roots (single and multiple) from the
      Resolver to the Interpreter. This improved the performance of multiple
      component roots in conjunction with static source mode. Any resolver,
      file-based or otherwise, can benefit from component root settings or
      choose to ignore them.
    - Added the compiler object_id to the object file path, so that
      multiple versions of Mason do not collide in the same object
      directory. Task id #569.
    - Added .obj (or a configurable extension) to object filenames.
      Task id #152. Suggested by John Tobey.
    - Added $m->clear_and_abort, syntactic sugar for the common idiom
      of calling clear_buffer() and then abort(). Task id #505.
    - Added an official comment syntax, <% # ... %>, and documented
      the various comment markers in the developer's manual. Task id #566.
    - Added buffer_preallocate_size parameter, which allows you to
      potentially reduce buffer reallocations.
    - Augmented the 'could not find component' error message with the
      current component root(s). Task id #562.

    [ BUG FIXES ]

    - Mason now throws an error if the path specified in a component's
      'inherit' flag cannot be found. Task id #480.
    - Fixed comp_exists to work with any path accepted by comp or
      fetch_comp, and fixed fetch_comp to stop throwing errors for certain
      bad paths. Task id #572.
    - Fixed $m->decline to work from /dhandler. Task id #573. Submitted
      by Carl Raiha.
    - Using 'next' or 'last' without a loop can no longer corrupt
      the component stack. Task id #539.
