545 two modules, one for static pages, and one for dynamic pages. The
546 only changes for users is that they need to dynlink staticmod.cmo
547 and ocsigenmod.cma from the configuration file. The syntax of
548 config file for modules and staticdir also changed.
549 * It is now possible to specify the encoding of characters for each
551 * Now usable with Ocamlnet 2.2 or 1.1.2.
552 * EXPERIMENTAL: If OCamlDuce is installed on your system, you can
553 now use it to do the type-checking of your pages (see the
554 documentation). Warning: This is broken with OCamlDuce 3.09.2
555 patch level 2. You need at least OCamlDuce 3.09.3 patch level 1.
556 * Removing Ocsimore from the default distribution. That version of
557 Ocsimore is not supported anymore. Ocsimore has been rewritten
558 from scratch by Piero Furiesi.
560 ===== 0.5.1 (2006-12-14) =====
562 * Bugfix Konqueror: Multipart forms with now work correctly with
564 * Bugfix Internet Explorer: getting around a bug of Internet
565 Explorer while displaying page
566 * Bugfix NetBSD: Makefile
567 * Bugfix Debian for HPPA, Mips, Alpha: Makefile
568 * Bugfix: preemptive.cmi was missing in the installation directory
569 * Adding manpage (S. Mimram)
570 * Adding logrotate configuration
571 * Daemon mode: adding setsid and redirect stdout/stderr to
572 /dev/null. Closing stdin.
574 ===== 0.5.0 (2006-11-23) =====
576 * HTTP 1.1 improved (HEAD, ETag, keep-alive implemented,
577 If-Modified-Since, ...)
579 * Pipelining of requests
580 * Server can listen on several ports
581 * Multiple servers: you can now define several servers in the config
583 * Virtual hosts: filtering on hostnames/ports (with wildcards)
584 * Asynchronous file upload with multipart support
585 * Large file transfer improved.
586 * MIME types are now parsed from a file
587 * Changes in the syntax of config file
588 * Accessors for server parameters. Use ({{{get_user_agent sp}}})
589 instead of {{{sp.user_agent}}}.
590 * Page generation is now using {{{Lwt}}} cooperative threads, to
591 make it possible the generation of several pages at the same
592 time. Practically, add {{{Lwt.return}}} before the page you want
593 to send, and use cooperative input/output functions.
594 * Typing errors of parameters are now catchable.
595 * {{{static_dir}}} is now a function
596 * Most of global references have been removed. You now need to give
597 sp as parameter to {{{register_for_session}}}, {{{static_dir}}},
598 {{{close_session}}}, etc.
599 * Links and forms now take {{{server_params}}} instead of
600 {{{current_url}}} ({{{sp}}} is shorter than {{{sp.current_url}}})
601 * EXPERIMENTAL: Use of preemptive threads for non cooperative
602 libraries ({{{detach}}} function).
603 * EXPERIMENTAL: The {{{Ocsigen}}} module now contains a functor
604 {{{Make}}} to allows the use of several ways of generating
605 XHTML. The default way (using {{{XHTML.M}}} or the syntax
606 extension) can be used by doing {{{open Ocsigen.Xhtml}}}. There is
607 also an untyped xhtml generation module called {{{Ocsigen.Text}}}.
608 * EXPERIMENTAL: extension of forms.
609 * Reorganisation of the code
610 * Bugfixes in makefiles
611 * Bugfix: escaping of strings in xhtml with syntax extension (thanks
614 ===== 0.4.0 (2006-06-06) =====
616 * Full reimplementation of the core using Generalized Algebraic Data
618 * {{{_int}}}, {{{_string}}}, etc. are now called {{{int}}},
620 * The type {{{_http_params}}} is now called {{{server_params}}},
621 * Services functions now all take 3 parameters, one for server
622 parameters, one for GET parameters, and one for POST
623 parameters. Note that {{{**}}} is used to create **pairs** and not
625 * The {{{a}}} and {{{post_form}}} functions now take a fix number of
626 parameters, correponding to GET parameters.
627 * //URLs// are now called //services//,
628 * //state URLs// are now called //auxiliary services//,
629 * {{{register_post_url}}} does not exist anymore. use
630 {{{register_service}}} instead (idem for all other
631 {{{register_post_*}}} functions).
632 * Changes for prefix URLs
633 * Small changes for actions
634 * EXPERIMENTAL: sums, bool and list types for services and forms
637 ===== 0.3.27 (2006-04-27) =====

643 * Load unsafe modules
644 * Other small changes
