The URL
http://www.embperl.org/downloads/Embperl-2.5.0.tar.gz
has entered CPAN
It???s long time gone since the last Embperl release. All the time Embperl
development has gone on.
Now here is a new release with brings Embperl up to date with other
software. It now supports Perl up to 5.18 and Apache up to 2.4. A lot of
development has gone into Embperl::Form, which can be used to easily build a
modern user interface, which give the user a native feeling. Unfortunately
there is not much documentation on Embperl::Form yet, also examples are
still missing, but I hope to get this ready in the near future.

Embperl is a system for building dynamic websites with Perl.
It gives you the power to embed Perl code in your HTML/XML documents and
the ability to build your Web site out of small reusable objects in an
object-oriented style.
Embperl has several features which are especially useful for creating
Websites, including dynamic tables, form field processing, URL
escaping/unescaping, session handling, caching, xslt transformation and
more.
See http://perl.apache.org/embperl/ (english) or
http://www.ecos.de/embperl/ (german) for more information.
(website is not updated yet, but this will follow shortly)
Enjoy

Changes since 2.4.0:
- Do not clear old code before compiling a Embperl page
in Perl >= 5.14.x because it causes seg faults. This
leads to "subroutine redifined" warings, when a
page was changed and is reloaded.
- Corrected use of G_KEEPERR when calling eval, because
of changed meaning, which cause the message "Compiling
error" instead of the real error message.
- Adapted tests to Perl 5.14 & 5.16
- Fixed a refcounting problem cause message "Attempt to
free unreferenced scalar" during mod_perl startup
with Perl 5.14.x
- Fix some dependencies on hash order inside the parser
which causes Embperl to fail with Perl >= 5.18 because
of hash randomisation.
- Changed the way exit passed through internaly, so it
works with Perl >= 5.18
- Adapted tests to Perl 5.18
- Adapted test httpd.conf to Apache 2.4. Embperl fully supports
Apache 2.4
- Makefile.PL now uses apache2 or httpd2 as Apache binary
- Makefile.PL now autodetects if mpm needs to loaded as
module for tests.
- Fix output inside of Registry script for mod_perl 2.0.4+
- Fix problem with error output on stderr for Windows 64Bit
- removed support for XALAN XML parser. It was outdated
anyway. libxml2 is still supported.
- Fixed a C type declaration which caused RTF files to not
correctly escaped with newer GCC's.
- Embperl::Form is totally overhauled with many new features.
It uses now jQuery as javascript library, instead
of prototype. NOTE: This is an incompatible change. If
you are using Embperl::Form before, you need to
adapt your html code!
- Fix some Unicode issues in Embperl::Form::Validate
- Embperl::Form::Validate is now able to highlight input
fields with wrong input
- Applied the following debian patches: delay.patch,
fix-string-typo.patch, fix-pod-errors.patch, fix-whatis.patch,
new_process_group.patch, fix-pod-unescaped-unicode.patch,
german.patch and utf8.patch which mainly corrects
spelling and typo errors. NOTE: modperl.patch and
Makefile.PL.patch are not applied, because they are
debian specific. Thanks to Florian Schlichting for
providing uptodate information about the patches
and adaptions for Embperl 2.5.
- Applied further spell corrections from Florian Schlichting.
- Log Errors form Embperl::Syntax::Mail to error log
- Fix compile problem on non intel plattforms due to missing
-m32 flag.
- Added support for utf8 sourcefiles. By setting
input_charset => 'utf8' sponsored by Perlover.
- Added optChdirToSource = 0x10000000 which will cause
Embperl to change to the directory of the source file
prior to execution.
