Getting ready for Debian Sarge has "helped" me to find the time for getting
Embperl ready for 2.0 final release. This is the release candidate 1. If no
additional bugs are found this will turn into Embperl 2.0.0 

Any bug reports, patches, documentation updates, spelling corrections are
welcome. So give it a try...


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.

Enjoy

Gerald


Changes since 2.0b11:

   - Addeded configuration directive Embperl_Object_Reqpath, which allows to
     search serveral directories for the file of the initial request.

     object is only available in case of a file upload

errors
     due to escaping in Apache error log.
   - Fixed test and compile problems on Windows with Perl 5.8.3
   - Added more verbose error informations for PerlHash error
   - Fixed problem when unloading Embperl.so under Apache, which cause
     Perl Hash error and/or segfault.
   - Fixed SegFault that occured when a Perl warning should be logged during
     initialisation.
   - Added single quotes arround xslt paramenters that are automaticly
     generated from %fdat to avoid security problems.
   - Fixed some memory leaks
   - Fixed problem that checkboxes or options or not correctly selected
     on the second request when value was html escaped
   - Fixed Segfault under Apache 1.3 when doing a syntax check
