2.0.26 2003/08/11 joern
Bugfixes:
- "Project compilation" created CVS.m files.
2.0.25 2003/08/07 joern
Bugfixes:
- "Project compilation" created "html.m" files for folders
named "html".
- Error message when reading a corrupted db config file
didn't contain the filename.
2.0.24 2003/04/04 joern
Bugfixes:
- added a timeout to the perl syntax checker to prevent
hanging processes
- use the actual perl binary to execute the external perl
code checker program, not the one found first in PATH
- fixed a bug in dbshell, which crashed the program if the
terminal size couldn't be determined correctly
2.0.23 2002/08/21 joern
Bugfixes:
- "use strict" property removed from all object types. Files
created with newspirit 2.99 (CIPP 3 enabled version)
hadn't use_strict enabled, because this property was
removed in 2.99. But this was interpreted as "no strict"
by newspirit 2.0.x. Not using "use strict" is evil anyway,
so: bye bye "no strict"... ;)
- missing .m (property) files are created now with the
default values for the object type. This was done in memory
each time, but without saving the .m file.
2.0.22 2002/06/17 joern
Features:
- new parameter for DB configuration objects: "Initial Perl
Statement", which is executed just after connecting to
the database. Requires CIPP::Runtime 0.41 (shipped with
CIPP
2.0.21 2002/06/07 joern
Features:
- dbshell.pl: added -x option which enables abort mode
2.0.20 2002/06/04 joern
Features:
- dbshell.pl: support CIPP3 .db-conf files
2.0.18 2002/04/08 joern
Features:
- name of new.spirit server is stored in base configuration
source file
- newspirit command line tool has -g switch for opening
a Gtk+ window with its output. useful for integration
into an external IDE.
2.0.17 2002/04/05 joern
Features:
- project name is stored in base configuration source file
2.0.15 2002/01/23 joern
Features:
- a new attribute of the database configuration object
enables you to use persistent database connections in
conjunction with mod_perl or SpeedyCGI.
Note: this requires CIPP version 2.42 with CIPP::Runtime
version 0.40 in the production environment.
You can even use programs and configurations produced
with new.spirit 2.0.15 in conjunction with older CIPP
releases. But then, enabling persistent database connections
in new.spirit will be without effect on the production
system.
2.0.14 2001/11/23 joern
Features:
- new.spirit now ships with a command line client, installed
as bin/newspirit. You can install programs, compile and
install projects with this tool. It's usable for scripting
update and installation procedures.
Execute bin/newspirit to get the usage description.
BE CAREAFUL: the state of this program is ALPHA. It should
not destroy any data, because it calls the appropriate
CGI programs remotely on the server. But don't rely too much
on its output. Really safe error processing is currently
not possible, because messages are mainly passed through
without change. Parsing them, may fail if message formats
change on the server.
2.0.13 2001/10/30 joern
Bugfixes:
- generic and blob files (e.g. jar files) were not processed
by 'Project Compilation'
- removed shebang line and execute flags from install.pl, to
prevent confusing when started directly without 'perl'
Features:
- update shipped CIPP version to 2.40
2.0.12 2001/10/12 joern
Features:
- dbshell.pl has a new 'set display_style' parameter: tab.
This produces TAB delimited output of SELECT statements,
great for creating reports.
2.0.11 2001/10/08 joern
Bugfixes:
- CGI Program execution did not work, if the project root
directory was specified with a trailing slash on
project creation.
- on systems where the installation program decides to
use GDBM_File the passwd initialization failed. The
file was created with DB_File, but later new.spirit
tried to open it with GDBM_File.
- deletion of x.configuration now impossible
2.0.10 2001/09/26 joern
Bugfix:
- project meta directory was not created for new projects
Features:
- project specific object templates. Just create a folder
x.tmpl and put objects there which are named like the
corresponding object type. E.g. for CIPP Programs
call it 'cipp', for Includes 'cipp-inc' and so on.
When new objects of this type are created, they are
initialized based on these templates.
2.0.9 2001/09/21 joern
Bugfix:
- shebang map did not accept object names of form x.foo.bla.
The x wasn't replaced by the project name.
2.0.8 2001/09/21 joern
Features:
- shebang map. You can configure a map in additional base
configuration objects, which assigns objects and folders
to the shebang, which should be used when installing this
project. Useful for controlling SpeedyCGI in detail.
Bugfix:
- text object types were not installed via "Project Compilation"
- installation error messages were not printed, only "NOT OK"
2.0.7 2001/08/13 joern
Bugfix:
- Project Installation: prod replacing of configs was too
late. installed html objects did use the original configs,
instead of the replaced configs.
2.0.6 2001/08/07 joern
Features:
- not only CGI programs can be executed via the object editor,
CIPP/HTML pages can be viewed, too.
2.0.5 2001/07/24 joern
Bugfix:
- Bugzilla Bug #639
dbshell.pl: Tabulator key produces spaces instead of weird
command completion (if Term::ReadLine::Perl is used. With
Term::ReadLine::Gnu currently Tab keys will be ignored)
- Bugzilla Bug #835:
History viewing did not work on CIPP CGI objects, when the
version number exceeded the maximum version number of the
- "Test CGI" renamed to "Execute CGI"
- fixed a typo in an "Execute CGI" error message popup window.
base configuration object.
Features:
- Bugzilla Enhancement #684:
new "Java File" object type for files with the extensions:
jar, cap, class and properties. These files are handled
through a new internal generic Blob handler. It is easy
to add new blob file types with this handler.
- but this generic blob handler is unable to handle
files with unknown extensions. For those files a new
object type for generic / unknown file types has been added
You can upload such files and decide to install them into
htdocs, cgi-bin or not to install. CIPP is able to get the URL
of such an object.
2.0.4_01 2001/05/14 joern
INTERNAL BETA RELEASE
Bugfix:
- Bugzilla Bug #132:
CIPP 2.36_01, which fixes some mod_perl issues, is shipped
with this release
- Bugzilla Bug #316:
prod/logs is now created for a new project
Features:
- Bugzilla Bug #99:
Direct execution of CGI programs is now possible. A new entry
in the editor window popup appears: "Test CGI". A new window
is opened with the URL of the current CIPP CGI program (window
position and size can be configured). You can pass parameters
through the generic text input field, formatted the standard
URL encoded way: 'a=1&b=2'. Thanks go to kurt@dimedis.de for his
suggestion.
- install.pl warns now if the installed CIPP version is older
than the shipped version
- added Artistic and Gnu Public Licenses to the distribution
2.0.3 2001/04/03 joern
Bugfix:
- deletion of DB Configuration objects did not work
2.0.2 2001/03/26 joern
Bugfixes:
- Project Installation: database config replacing did not
work properly
2.0.1 2001/03/23 joern
Bugfixes:
- fixed a bug in the bugfix ;)
New deterministic meta file format was messed up in some cases
2.0.0 2001/03/23 joern
Bugfixes:
- fixed a regex which checks object existence. Due to this bug
specifying a replace action object failed under some
circumstances
- Project Installation: "Refresh Base Configs Popup" link was
missing, if no base configs are in the base config cache,
so recreating the cache was impossible in this case
- Alternative Base Configurations:
Falling back to default project root did not work.
- format of object property data files is now deterministic,
so CVS should not report unnecessary conflicts anymore.
- meta files of CIPP Config objects were saved unnecessaryly
on every access, which caused problems in read only
environments
- login was impossible if the users access right on his last
selected project was revoked
- dbshell.pl: execution of prod/sql scripts was broken.
dbshell.pl was unable to find the correspondent database
configuration.
Because there are no significant known bugs on the TODO list:
WELCOME TO VERSION 2.0.0 :)
1.99.22 2001/03/19 joern
Bugfixes:
- SQL execution was completely broken, due to a bug in the
command line parser module
1.99.21 2001/03/15 joern
Bugfixes:
- Mozilla wrapped long lines of the project tree browser
- If the last command of a SQL script was not terminated
by a semicolon, it was executed infinetely.
Features:
- save trigger filter
Now you can specify a save filter script for each object.
This means: everytime you save the object, this filter
script is invoked with the source of the object connected
to STDIN. It is possible to pass the full path name of
the object file as an argument, using a %s wildcard.
Configuration of the save filter script is placed in the
properties dialog.
- Project Installation: #! is implicitely added to the
shebang line, if the user did omit it
1.99.20 2001/03/14 joern
Features:
- you now can configure an Perl shebang line for project
installation in CIPP Base Configuration objects
1.99.19 2001/03/09 joern
Bugfixes:
- included actual CIPP version 2.29, which fixes a serious
<?!HTTPHEADER> bug (see Changes file of CIPP, for details)
- user preferences are now applied immediately after saving
Features:
- New preferences:
- Treeview font face/size
- Select last opened project by default after login
- new created projects now have default values in their
base configuration (e.g. http header Pragma: no-cache)
- new created SQL objects now refer to the default
database configuration
- you can limit the maximum size of the object history,
by setting an appropriate value in the base configuration
(default is 20)
- Project Compilation "replace object" output reduced.
- new.spirit now checks for object existence, if you configure
a object to be replaced while installation
- during the installation process your are warned, if an object
is replaced more than once
1.99.18 2001/03/07 joern
Features:
- included actual CIPP version 2.28
- added htdocs/doc/index.html for some information about
documentation
1.99.17 2001/03/05 joern
Bugfixes:
- the CIPP BEGIN block, which sets the library path, was
stripped off for syntax checking. So projects, which
depend on a additional library path failed in compilation.
This version of new.spirit REQUIRES now CIPP version 2.27
1.99.16 2001/03/05 joern
Bugfixes:
- "Project Compilation" with dependency truncation did not
delete the internal modules hash file. If a module was moved
by hand, new.spirit complains about a double module definition,
and even a project compilation did not fix this.
- BEGIN{} and/or END{} blocks were executed during Perl syntnax
check, which sometimes makes the system hang.
Features:
- you can now define more than one additional perl library search
directory by delimiting them with a colon.
1.99.15 2001/02/27 joern
Bugfixes:
- the 'use_strict' attribute of CIPP modules was not always
correctly initialized (enabled). Now this attribute should
always default to 1.
- error formatting in case of a CIPP/new.spirit module name
clashing was messed up
1.99.14 2001/02/19 joern
Bugfixes:
- "Project Installation" did not install the prod/lib/
directory
- "Project Installation" did not install the proper
default database configuration
- first installation of a new module did throw an error message
- creation of image objects did not work
- project deletion without selection of a project entry was
possible
- object creation using irregular names is prevented now
- project list is now sorted by project name instead of project
description. This fixes also a bug: two projects with the
same description were indistinguishable
- first time creation of a base configuration object causes
an exception
- the NewSpirit::Object class did *always* set a lock on the
object, even if this was an internal instantiation, e.g.
for a "Project Compilation".
Features:
- timestamps of installed files (using "Project Installation")
are now set to the source file timestamps. This make
rsync's job easier.
1.99.13 2001/02/15 joern
Bugfix:
- database connection code of generated modules was broken
- now new.spirit needs CIPP 2.19 or better, due to the
extensions of dynamic database connections (which
also fixes the bug stated above)
ATTENTION:
----------
You must upgrade your production environments with the
shipped CIPP 2.19 release, because the CIPP::Runtime did
change. CGI programs created with this release WILL NOT
RUN with CIPP versions < 2.19 (resp. CIPP::Runtime < 0.36)
1.99.12 2001/02/14 joern
Bugfixes:
- alternative database names did still not work.
- a htdocs mapping of '/' did produce wrong URLs
Features:
- base configuration objects have a new field for
a additional perl library directory. So external private
libraries can easily be included into your project.
1.99.11 2001/02/13 joern
Bugfixes:
- missing Lock Files produce only warnings and no exceptions
(this happens, if a project disappears from the filesystem.
The thrown exception prevents from selecting another project,
so we had a classical deadlock situation ;)
- creating a project where the project root dir alredy exists,
but was not owned by the spirit webserver user, did not work,
although if the user has write access
- dependency processing did sometimes compile too much objects,
because transitive dependencies were not filtered enough
- prod replace function did not work properly
1.99.10 2001/02/12 joern
Bugfixes:
- alternative database names did not work
1.99.9 2001/02/11 joern
Features:
- bin/convert_cipp-img.pl can execute appropriate cvs
commands for you
1.99.8 2001/02/09 joern
Bugfixes:
- SQL object database assignment conversion (spirit 1.x ->
new.spirit 2.x) did not work
- usage of Archive::Tar is replaced by a internal new.spirit function
for copying directories recursively. This fixes the problelm
with Archive::Tar under Windows platforms. Also this is much
faster and more reliable than the Archive::Tar solution.
Cleanup:
- default mappings changed: /newspirit2 and /cgi-bin2
Features:
- the object editor has a new popup entry for submitting:
"Install (edited external)". Use this method, if you modified
the object file with an external editor and want new.spirit
to install this file, without saving the content of the
object editor.
- there is a new user preference. The use can decide, if the
editor submit popup should not be preselected with any entry,
so the user must decide actively, which action should be
performed.
- Link to the CHANGES file on the login page
1.99.7 2001/02/07 joern
Cleanup:
- some local perl library path modifications in newspirit.conf
are removed by mktardist.pl. I need them on my development system
to work with the almost actual CIPP release, without need to
install CIPP into my official perl library path.
Features:
- 'Project Installation' can now include SQL prod and src files.
src files in that way, that a miniminal src tree is built, which
can be used on the production system to execute SQL scripts and
arbitrary SQL commands (of course, only if you install new.spirit
on the production system for this purpose ;). This src tree only
includes a base configuration, all database configuration files
and SQL objects.
1.99.6 2001/02/01 joern
Bugfixes:
- extended base configuration paramters
- project root of production system
- Installation procedure did not copy images to
the installation directory
- session preservation did not always work
- removed switch for omitting Include processing
in 'Project Compilation'. Due to this, Include dependencies
were broken
- create 'logs' directory in 'Project Installation'
Features:
- removed the NEWSPIRIT subdirectories. A new 'meta' subdirectory
on project root toplevel takes the corresponding files. So the
'src' tree ist free of non CVSable files, which makes life
much easier
- object property files reside now in the same directory as the
corresponding object file, with '.m' attached to the extension.
So adding new files to CVS is easier.
- CIPP 2.16_01 is mandatory for this new.spirit release
- final filesystem structure: all files modified by the webserver
are now inside the var tree
1.99.5 2001/01/29 joern
Bugfixes:
- verbosity of include error output in dependency installation
was too high
- optimized the builtin Perl syntax checker (solves open2
resource problem unter Windows NT)
Features:
- Project Compilation:
- user can decide, whether includes should
be processed seperately (for error checking) or not
- with or without deletion of the production tree
- upgraded shipped CIPP distribution to 2.15
1.99.4 2001/01/25 joern
First release candiate.
Bugfixes:
- dependency processing had an esoteric bug. Sometimes dependent
objects were not processed
Features:
- project installation. If you're on a windows box, refer to
the release notes.
- needed Perl modules are bundled with the new.spirit
distribution
1.99.2 2000/?/? joern
Bugfixes:
- install.pl did not use the determined DB_File module
itself. instead the module of our development environment
was used
- cipp-html objects now always depend on the base
configuration
- renamed /icons URL to /i
=> shorter HTML code
=> no clashing with Apache standard mapping "/icons"
Features:
- project compilation now shows number of objects
to process
- creation of cipp-html objects with .css extension
now possible
1.99.1 2000/08/10 joern
First dimedis internal beta release
- basic project installation stuff
1.99.0 2000/xx/xx joern
First internal alpha release, lacks many features, e.g.
- cvs support
- project installation
- generic tool interface
