| <h4>Download</h4> |
| <p> |
| Rivet 2.2 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 2.2 works with the Apache Webserver version 2.x (running the |
| <strong>prefork</strong> |
| |
| MPM) and requires Tcl >= 8.5.11. Tcl >= 8.6.1 is |
| recommended |
| </p> |

| <h4>Rivet 2.2.4 Release Notes</h4> |
| <p> |
| This release is meant to address bug |
| <a href="https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58008" target="_blank">#58008</a> |
| |
| |
| that caused random segmentation faults when a child processes was shutting down. |
| Also minor improvements were done to the core module and to resolve a few problems |
| with the HTML manual DocBook output |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sez"> |
| <h4>Rivet 2.2.3 Release Notes</h4> |
| <p> |
| In this release further elaboration of bug |
| <a href="https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57501">#57501</a> |
| |
| |
| lead to an improved error and abort_page handling and to consistent |
| closing of said problem. |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sez"> |
| <h4>Rivet 2.2.2 Release Notes</h4> |
| <p>We recommend to upgrade to this version of Rivet as it delivers two important bug fixes</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>bug <a href="https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57501">#57501</a> |
| |
| |
| fixed: abort_page does not stop page execution after a call to ::rivet::parse </li> |
| <li>bug <a href="https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57686">#57686</a> |
| |
| fixed: |
| wrong handling of file not found condition </li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sez"> |
| <h4>Rivet 2.2.1 Release Notes</h4> |
| <p>New Tcl commands</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>New command |
| <pre class="programlisting">::rivet::redirect URL ?permanent?</pre> |
| |
| |
| was introduced. The command achieves the same |
| function of <b>::rivet::headers redirect <URL></b> |
| |
| but it extends its functionalities |
| by triggering the execution of the <em>AbortScript</em> |
| |
| when defined. The command |
| builds a dictionary carrying 2 keys with the reason for the abort (error_code) and the URL |
| the browser is diverted to. This dictionary can be fetched with command <b>::rivet::abort_code</b> |
| </li> |
| <li>New command <b>::rivet::header sent</b> |
| |
| returns 1 if HTTP have been sent already |
| because either the output buffer was filled or command <b>flush stdout</b> |
| |
| was |
| executed </li> |
| <li>New command <b>::rivet::headers get</b> |
| |
| returns the value of an HTTP output |
| header </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>mod_rivet internal changes and build system improvements</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Configuration of the package was extended by adding a new --with-apu-config macro |
| that allows fine control over the location of apr-util include files (contributed by <em> |
| Poor Yorick</em> |
| |
| ) </li> |
| <li>New directive <em>SeparateChannels</em> |
| |
| allow finer control over Rivet internal channels. |
| I/O handling is done in |
| mod_rivet by creating a single channel per child process. This is true also if |
| <em>SeparateVirtualInterp</em> |
| |
| is set, thus reducing the amount of memory allocated |
| for channel descriptors and buffers.This is good for most common usages of Rivet because |
| it's unlikely that applications will tamper with the channel parameters. Anyway if |
| you're deploying mod_rivet in an environment where different applications need to |
| have full control over channels setting the directive you restore previous |
| mod_rivet policy. This option has effect only if <em>SeparateVirtualInterp</em> |
| |
| |
| is set </li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sez"> |
| <h4>Rivet 2.2.0 Release Notes</h4> |
| <p>Tcl level new commands </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>New '::rivet::inspect server' command returns a dictionary with informative fields taken |
| from Apache server_rec object</li> |
| <li>New '::rivet::inspect script' command returns the name of the script being executed</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>mod_rivet internal changes and build system improvements</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Commands gaining access to the request_rec object are now checking this pointer and |
| in case it's NULL they fain with a Tcl error. This is done through the CHECK_REQUEST_REC. |
| Even though this is correct the new behaviour potentially can break existing code in |
| initialization and termination scripts. Thats the main reason for tagging this release as |
| 2.2.0</li> |
| <li>The code was further modularized and single components of the |
| module can be selected by configure. This should enable the development |
| or refactoring of components in mod_rivet without branching the whole code |
| tree. This new code selection is implemented through various macros in |
| configure.ac and various symbols in the Makefiles. See |
| <pre class="programlisting">./configure --help</pre> |
| |
| |
| to have a list of the available switches implemented by those macros |
| </li> |
