| <h4>Download</h4> |
| <p> |
| Rivet 2.0 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 2.0 has been tested on Apache 1.3 , 2.2 and 2.4 servers. |
| <strong>Apache 2.2/2.4 servers must be running |
| <tt>prefork</tt> |
| |
| as multiprocess module </strong> |
| |
| though. Rivet is incompatible with the |
| 'worker' and 'event' MPMs. |

| <h4>Release Notes for Rivet 2.0.4 <span class="timestamp">(23-Sep-2011)</span> |
| </h4> |
| <h5>Bugs fixed</h5> |
| <p> |
| An Tcl error in an AbortScript would trigger a message that |
| erroneously printed that an ErrorScript was running. |
| </p> |
| <h5>Manual Pages Expanded</h5> |
| <p> |
| Manual pages have been expanded to include documentation for more |
| commands implemented but not yet documented. Section documenting |
| single commands has been reorganized to list commands in alphabetical |
| order. |
| </p> |
| <h5>New Features</h5> |
| <p> |
| Commands <strong>load_env</strong> |
| |
| and <strong>load_headers</strong> |
| |
| |
| accept an array name as argument. If not fully qualified the array |
| was created in either the <tt>::request</tt> |
| |
| namespace (.rvt templates) |
| or the global namespace (.tcl scripts). Starting with 2.0.4 |
| these commands, when invoked from within a procedure, create |
| the array in the proc's local scope, unless the argument is a |
| fully qualifed name scoping the array in a user defined namespace. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Command <strong>makeurl</strong> |
| |
| has been extended to be used in three forms |
| <ul> |
| <li>without argument |
| <pre class="programlisting">makeurl |
| ==> Current script's url</pre> |
| </li> |
| <li>with an absolute path |
| <pre class="programlisting">makeurl /a/b/c |
| ==> http://<host>:<port>/a/b/c</pre> |
| </li> |
| <li>with a relative path |
| <pre class="programlisting">makeurl a/b/c |
| ==> http://<host>:<port>/<current script>/a/b/c</pre> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |

| <h4>Release Notes for Rivet 2.0.3 <span class="timestamp">(19-Mar-2011)</span> |
| </h4> |
| <h5>New Features</h5> |
| <p> |
| Rivet 2.0.3 introduces 2 new configuration directives |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| New configuration directive <strong>AbortScript</strong> |
| |
| : |
| Tcl script to be run if an <b>abort_page</b> |
| |
| is called |
| in a request processing |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| New configuration directive |
| <strong>AfterEveryScript</strong> |
| |
| : An <b>abort_page</b> |
| |
| command stops the |
| page generation and skips also a configured <strong>AfterScript</strong> |
| |
| to |
| run an <strong>AbortScript</strong> |
| |
| . This new configuration script is to |
| be run anyway, as last script of a single request processing, |
| whether an abort condition took place during the page |
| generation or the procedure completed successfully. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Enhanced form for <strong>abort_page</strong> |
| |
| : page generation can |
| be interrupted by calling <strong>abort_page</strong> |
| |
| . The new command |
| accepts now an argument whose value can be checked to determine which |
| condition forced to call the page generation off. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| New command <strong>abort_code</strong> |
| |
| returns the value of the |
| argument passed to <strong>abort_page</strong> |
| |
| . Useful in <b>AbortScript</b> |
| |
| |
| or <b>AfterEveryScript</b> |
| |
| code. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <h5>Problems fixed</h5> |
| <p> |
| Code for command <strong>apache_table</strong> |
| |
| was ported to Rivet for Apache 1.3 |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sez"> |
| <h4>Release Notes for Rivet 2.0.2 <span class="timestamp">(25-Oct-2010)</span> |
| </h4> |
| <p> |
| Rivet 2.0.2 is a maintainance release with the main purpose to adjust the |
| build process in a way that makes straightforward the generation of a Debian package. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Rivet (named |
| <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/liba/libapache2-mod-rivet.html">libapache2-mod-rivet</a> |
| |
| |
| to follow the Debian Apache policy) is now in Debian. |
| The package is sponsored by Sven Hoexter (Debian Developer). |

| <div class="sez"> |
| <h4>Relase Notes for Rivet 2.0.1 <span class="timestamp">(12-Jul-2010)</span> |
| </h4> |
| <h5>Fixed Bugs in Rivet 2.0.1</h5> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Several error messages printed during the installation phase have been |
| fixed. The problems were harmless, but nonetheless annoying. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Fixed bug in installation of the rivetparser library. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Fixed tables creation for Postgres backend. The SQL script that |
| creates the rivet_session_cache table misnamed 2 columns. |
| <b>Current DIO Postgres backend breaks Session package if the database |
| was created with an old Rivet version</b> |
| |
| . To fix the problem one has to |
| rename the 'key' and 'package' columns as 'key_' and 'package_' |
| <pre class="programlisting">ALTER TABLE rivet_session_cache RENAME COLUMN key to key_ |
| ALTER TABLE rivet_session_cache RENAME COLUMN package to package_</pre> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Fixed dio_Postgres.tcl method. A mistyped variable caused at least method |
| 'store' to fail. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h5>New Features</h5> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p> |
| A new package <b>Calendar</b> |
| |
| has been added. Calendar provides 3 Itcl classes that |
| print Calendar tables in ASCII, XML and XHTML forms (see examples and related |
| manual page). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <em> |
| <b>Calendar</b> |
| |
| requires Tcl8.5 or Tcl8.4 with package 'dict' </em> |
| </p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| New page for package 'form' added to the manual |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sez"> |
| <h4>Installation Issues</h4> |
| <p> |
| Rivet is widely configurable to select custom directories where the module and |
| its associated libraries have to reside. |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Even though you can install Rivet to run pure Tcl scripts, some associated packages |
| (namely 'Session' and 'DIO') are written in Itcl, an OO extension of the base |
| language.In order to safely run those package, you have to check yourself if |
| the Itcl extension installed on your system is compatible with the Tcl version |
| for which you're building Rivet. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sez"> |
| <h4>Known Problems</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Rivet is reported to conflict with cgi scripts on some Linux machines. |
| Symptom of the problem is when cgi scripts hang forever and don't send |
| any content to the client |
| </li> |
