| <h4>Download</h4> |
| <p> |
| Rivet 2.1 is available for download from ASF mirror sites. Check the |
| <a href="download.html">download page</a> |
| |
| for information about |
| downloading the source code, rpm files or packages for SuSE, |
| Redhat, Debian and Ubuntu (packages for SuSE and Redhat are available thanks to |
| Harald Oehlmann). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Code integrity for this release can be checked using the |
| public keys in the <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/tcl/KEYS">KEYS</a> |
| |
| file. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Rivet 2.1 works with the Apache Webserver version 2.x (running the |
| <strong>prefork</strong> |
| |
| MPM) and requires Tcl >= 8.5.11 |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sez"> |
| <h4>Rivet 2.1.4 Release Notes</h4> |
| <p>New features</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>New subcommand <tt>script</tt> |
| |
| for command <strong>::rivet::inspect</strong> |
| |
| returns |
| the full path to the current Rivet template or URL referenced script. In case |
| this command is invoked from outside a request processing the string value |
| by [info script] is returned </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Bug fixed and code reorganization</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Changed value returned by command <strong>headers redirect</strong> |
| |
| that caused |
| mod_rivet to fail with Tcl 8.6.1 (Fixes bug #55583) </li> |
| <li>Reorganized autotools build scripts</li> |
| <li>Redundant log message in ApacheRequest___parse() removed (fixes bug #55845)</li> |
| <li>Small optimization attained by moving allocation of a control structure process |
| from the request processing scope into the process scope</li> |
| <li>Removed call to Tcl to coax the Tcl command <strong>info script</strong> |
| |
| into |
| returning the current rivet template name. This feature was undocumented |
| and the task has been devolved to the newly created <strong>::rivet::inspect script</strong> |
| |
| |
| command </li> |
| <li>Fixed some comments that were breaking Tcl 8.6 (comments cannot go into a Tcl |
| <strong>switch</strong> |
| |
| command body) </li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sez"> |
| <h4>Rivet 2.1.3 Release Notes</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li>installation target 'make install' restored to its previous |
| functionality (hence the whole module and packages are installed) |
| by making it depend on two targets <i>install-binaries</i> |
| |
| and |
| <i>install-packages</i> |
| </li> |
| <li>New variant 'parse -string' to parse templates stored in strings</li> |
| <li>Improved safety of command <strong>::rivet::parray</strong> |
| |
| |
| by escaping SGML characters in the output </li> |
| <li>Improved detection of <b>SELECT</b> |
| |
| queries in <strong>::DIO::Mysql</strong> |
| </li> |
| <li>Various fixes in package <b>Calendar</b> |
| </li> |
| <li>Changed names of deprecated variables in autotools scripts</li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sez"> |
| <h4>Rivet 2.1.2 Release Notes</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li>various bug fixes to form2.tcl</li> |
| <li>documentation improved for the form package and for the installation process</li> |
| <li>libtool/autotool scripts update</li> |
| <li>mod_rivet.c: fixed call to panic that refused to compile with Tcl8.6</li> |
| <li>apache request: relaxed restrictions on HTTP methods accepted</li> |
| <li>binary module/libraries and Tcl packages installations were split. |
| Rivet installation is a two step process now. This should make possible |
| to create arch independent archives/packages of code written in Tcl and |
| shipped with Rivet |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sez"> |
| <h4>Rivet 2.1.1 Release Notes</h4> |
| <h5>Bug Fixes</h5> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Fixed bug #54162: mod_rivet is now coexisting with mod_websh |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Checks on 'Content-Type' relaxed (Bug #53661). Rivet is now only |
| checking if such fields is the headers table. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Rivet is now also handling PUT and DELETE requests (Bug #53661) |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| New command ::rivet::xml for XML fragments composition |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sez"> |
| <h4>Rivet 2.1.0 Release Notes</h4> |
| <h5>New commands and Directives</h5> |
| <p> |
| Starting with rivet version 2.1 the whole set of commands was moved into the |
| <strong>::rivet</strong> |
| |
| namespace. For compatibility with existing software |
| commands are by default in the <strong>::rivet</strong> |
| |
| namespace export list |
| and automatically imported into the global namespace. |
| You can change this behaviour in two ways: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| By disabling the automatic import from the <strong>::rivet</strong> |
| |
| |
| namespace configuring the build system with the |
| <em>--disable-import-rivet-commands</em> |
| |
| switch |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| By disabling the export of the commands, thus forcing scripts to |
| use the fully qualified name of a command using configure's |
| <strong>--disable-rivet-commands-export</strong> |
| |
| argument |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| A new <strong>RivetServerInit</strong> |
| |
| directives was introduced. |
| <strong>RivetServerInit</strong> |
| |
| accepts as argument a Tcl script to be run |
| during the initialization stage of the webserver. This phase takes places |
| before the child processes are forked. More details are available in the manual. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| A new <strong>AfterEveryScript</strong> |
| |
| directive specifies a new class of |
| configuration scripts. An <strong>AfterEveryScript</strong> |
| |
| directive tells |
| Rivet what code has to be executed at every request completion, either when |
| a request processing was successful or an abort condition was handled |
| by an <strong>AbortScript</strong> |
| |
| directive. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The new command <strong>::rivet::inspect</strong> |
| |
| provides deeper introspection |
| in the configuration of a module. |
| </p> |
| <h5>New switches for the <quote>configure</quote> |
| |
| script </h5> |
| <p> |
| Some Rivet configuration defaults can be changed running the |
| <i>configure</i> |
| |
| script passing the following arguments. |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>--enable-virtual-interps-separation</li> |
| <li>--with-upload-dir=DIR</li> |
| <li>--with-post-max=BYTES</li> |
| <li>--disable-upload-var</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h5> |
| Recent Bug Fixes |
| </h5> |
| <p> |
| Test Suite |
| <ul> |
| <li>User and Group directives removed from the configuration file |
| template to make test suite independent from the command 'id' output from which |
| the values for this parameters were inferred (Bug #53396)</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| mod_rivet.c. |
| <ul> |
| <li>Add UploadDirectory to the list of handled options for RivetUserConf</li> |
| <li>The module returns now a HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR when a <b>::request</b> |
| |
| |
| namespace cannot be created </li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| DIO Package bug fixes |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Improved DIO support for Sqlite fixes several bugs. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Fixed secs computation made by dio_Mysql when handling timestamp fields. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Fixed wrong declaration of 'insert' subcommand in page manual (Bug #53670) |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Fixed method makeDBFieldValue in class Oracle (Bug #53703) |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Method 'count' failed when no keyfield was set. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Index riv_sess_cache_ix had a incomplete unique key definition that missed the |
| 'package_' column (fixes bug #54063) |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| New package form 2.0 added with new methods and several fixes including: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Workaround to avoid wrong parsing of form data when parameter |
| values have spaces in them |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Fixed problem with variable clash in constructor. Also removed unneeded [expr ...] in conditions |
| that prevented efficient code handling by the byte compiler (Closes bug #52650) |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
