- Date: Thu, 30 Sep 1999 12:01:55 +0200 (CET)
Hi all,
I am glad to announce that WML-1.7.3 is available at
http://www.engelschall.com/sw/wml/distrib/wml-1.7.3.tar.gz
Below is the portion of the ChangeLog file describing changes
between 1.7.2 and 1.7.3. Thanks to all contributors and those i
forgot to mention below.
Changes between 1.7.2 and 1.7.3:
*) Fix wml::std::logo (27-Sep-1999):
Fixes default logo to wml.
[Denis Barbier]
*) Upgrade of tidy (25-Sep-1999):
Upgrade from tidy15apr99 to tidy26apr99.
[Alvise Belotti]
*) Fix wml::std::grid (22-Sep-1999):
The ``height'' attribute must be applied to cells, and not
tables.
[Jacques Supcik <supcik@ip-plus.net>]
*) Fix wml::sup::path (21-Sep-1999):
The ``canonpath'' routine is modified to return ``./'' instead
of an empty string ; this fixes problems with wml::des::navbar
and other include files.
This patch is also applied to ipp.src, wmk.src and wml.src
[Hans Ulrich Niedermann]
*) Add documentation in wml::des::navbar (19-Sep-1999):
The nohints attribute of the <navbar:render> tag was missing.
[Hans Ulrich Niedermann <ulrich@niedermann.bb.bawue.de>]
*) Fix the <include> tag (19-Sep-1999):
When files are included via the <include> tag, the
<*parser*::push-file> and <*parser*::pop-file> tags were
printed, but these tags were removed from wml_p2_mhc.
[Denis Barbier]
*) Allow any pass order (19-Sep-1999):
The -p option of WML allow users to specify which pass are to
be invoked ; in wml-1.7.3, when pass specifications are followed
by an exclamation mark, passes are not sorted.
[Xose Manoel Ramos <xmanoel@bigfoot.com>
*) Accepts any suffix in input fle names (19-Sep-1999):
Many files are updated to accept any input file suffix. Temporary
files take the same suffix of the input file.
[Denis Barbier]
*) Fix the :NAME#} construction in wml_p5_divert (19-Sep-1999):
The wml_p5_divert accepts two equivalent sets of commands. As for
now, the preferred one is ``<<NAME>> ..NAME>> <<NAME..''. But
those angle brackets cause trouble in conjunction with wml_p2_mhc,
so documentation is updated to prefer alternative commands
``{#NAME#} {#NAME: :NAME#}''.
Moreover a bug has been fixed with the ``:NAME#}'' command.
[Denis Barbier]
*) Fix configure bugs with some Perl versions (19-Sep-1999):
Some Perl versions, like the EUC JP one caused an error when
running the configure script.
[Andrew S. Howell <andy@tibcofinance.com>]
*) Fix compilation of wml_p2_mhc (19-Sep-1999):
Build wml_p2_mhc with the C compiler found at configure
time, and not necessarily gcc.
[Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars@larsshack.org>]
*) Bug fix : 1-char directory name (10-Sep-1999):
Wmk and wml did not handle right 1-char directory name.
[Nico Galoppo <scratch@ace.ulyssis.student.kuleuven.ac.be>]
*) Fix the --without-openworld configure option (09-Sep-1999):
The --without-openworld did not work as expected, it is fixed.
[Gerfried Fuchs <alfie@innocent.com>]
*) Fix the __FILE__ automatic variable in wml_p1_ipp (06-Sep-1999):
The __FILE__ variable did not work as expected because of a
problem with scope.
[Nobuyuki Tsuchimur <tutimura@nn.iij4u.or.jp>]
*) Use of the TMPDIR environment variable (28-Aug-1999):
To conform with POSIX standard, this variable contains
the directory name where temporary files are kept. By default,
this directory is /tmp.
[Thomas Roessler <roessler@guug.de>]
*) Use GNU shtool for configuring (25-Aug-1999):
All scripts in etc/ sub-directories were still replaced by
Ralf's shtool since 01-Jul-1999. They are now removed.
[Denis Barbier]
*) Fix include files (23-Aug-1999):
In all include files, perl ``system'' function is replaced by
backticks, to allow error reporting.
[Denis Barbier]
*) Write empty file during pass 9 (23-Aug-1999):
On latest version, empty output files were not written. It has
been changed to suppress this error
cannot load /tmp/wml.xxx.tmp4 for unprotection at
/usr/bin/wml line 658.
[Denis Barbier]
*) New wml_include/mod/version.src (21-Aug-1999):
Provides the <require> tag to indicate a minimal WML version
number to process a given file.
[Denis Barbier]
*) Fix wml::fmt::verbatim (20-Aug-1999):
Added <protect></protect> to insert files really verbatim
[Thomas Roessler <roessler@guug.de>]
*) New wml_include/mod directory (20-Aug-1999):
This directory is devoted for modularity. The first include file
is MakeMaker.src, a Makefile generator to distribute WML modules.
It is inspired by the ExtUtils::MakeMaker Perl module.
[Denis Barbier]
*) Add wml_contrib/mkwml (20-Jul-1999):
This Perl script is an alternative to wmk.
[Jim Bowlin <bowlin@sirius.com>]
*) Fix the --safe long option name (19-Jul-1999):
The --speedup option was used instead of --safe in wmk.src and
wml.src
[Simon Burr <simes@bpfh.net>]
*) Better detection of relative paths in navbar.src (19-Jul-1999):
When including images, absolute pathnames were either paths
beginning with a slash or with ``http://''. Obviously other
cases may occur, e.g. with ftp. The new algorithm is inspired
from the URI perl module.
[Dave Plonka <plonka@doit.wisc.edu>]
*) Allow quotes around pass numbers in <protect> tags (09-Jul-1999):
[Davor Cengija]
*) Fix variable evaluation in Pass 1 (09-Jul-1999):
The regular expression used to substitute variables in wml_p1_ipp
was wrong with two adjacent variables, like $(foo)$(bar).
[Uwe Mindrup <uwe@mindrup.de>]
*) Fix installation of Perl modules (05-Jul-1999):
On some platforms, Perl modules are not installed under
...prefix/lib/wml/perl.
Rules in Makefiles now invoke pure_perl_install
[Tobias Oetiker]
*) Define a WML environment variable (01-Jul-1999):
Contains the path of the wml binary. It is needed to perform
tests on wmk when wml is not yet installed.
[Denis Barbier]
*) More robust -D flag (01-Jul-1999):
A variable defined with the -D flag could not contain spaces or
metacharacters. It's fixed now, one can write
-DFOO="this \"and that\""
on the command line, the shebang line, in RC-files or in the
environment variable WMLOPTS.
[<simes@bpfh.net>, Jim Hebert]
*) Improve dependency checking (09-Jun-1999):
If output files depend on certain data files, one may tell WMk
about these dependencies by using the new ``#depends''
directive. File is not included but dependency is updated.
The metacharacters [?*] are allowed in file names after #use
#include and #depends. Bracketed expressions are also recognized.
[Jay Treacy <treacy@debian.org>]
*) Enhanced wml::fmt::verbatim (08-Jun-1999):
Add the <verbatim-file> tag which is much more readable than
the perl wml_fmt_verbatim routine.
[Tobias Oetiker]
*) Makes ePerl more portable (08-Jun-1999):
ePerl uses the ppport.h file to deal with old and new perl.
[Denis Barbier]
*) Clean-up include files (06-Jun-1999):
Simplification have been done in include files to use the new
Meta-HTML tags.
All references to the /tmp directory have been replaced by the
WML_TMPDIR variable.
