texte = There is no real new feature in 7.0. It is more a transition version = toward the WebDNA i had in mind when we bought it to SmithMicro. We fixed some remaining bugs and added few things. We also changed the = [append] tag to be much much faster. Here a list: ----- Fixed: The serial number validation routine fails out with a wrong = number, and causes the page not reloading. ----- The libmysqlclient.so.15/libmysqlclient.so.16 problem for the glibcv3 = version: Ubuntu 10.xx comes with libmysqlclient.so.16, and webdna.fcgi requests = libmysqlclient.so.15 The two versions of libmysqlclient aren't binary compatible, which is = why the soname was changed from 15 to 16. There is no way to build a = single binary that works with both libraries. We built two binaries. ----- Changed: The 6.2 code always reloaded the db after 100 lines. We changed = this for 1,000 lines on 7.0 code. ----- Fixed: the [append] tag was writing to DISK instead or writing to RAM. = It now depends on the AutoCommit value in prefs. If true, it will append each line as before. If false, it will buffer in memory. ----- Fixed: the [formvariables] context bug when using = ENCTYPE=3D"multipart/form-data": issue with the processing of multipart = post. ----- Fixed: [sendmail] problem with the FreeBSD version beacuse of a = threading problem. Fixed by forcing it to use libpthread instead of = libc_r ----- Fixed: bug when the [math] variable name includes a number like in = [math]thetest3=3D43[/math] --- New: added the new tag [thirurlplusget] so the [thisurl] tag will produce this: /x/y/z/index.dna and the [thirurlplusget] tag will produce this: /x/y/z/index.dna?a=3Db&c=3Dd --- New: /WebCatalog folder eliminated --- New: config file is now webdna.ini --- New: [isaccelerated] tag returns "T" or "F" --- Fixed: a local copy runs as "licensed" when called through 127.0.0.1 or = "localhost" --- Fixed: triggers now work with unlicensed version --- Fixed: the triggers are not properly working --- New: added a solid blowfish code to [encrypt] --- Fixed: [returnraw] - http status codes was not working on all platforms = due of Apache 2.0 changes in the API and also the WebDNA module was not = accommodating all status codes. --- Fixed: [createdate] and [moddate] were being confused on unix machines = in both the [listfiles] context and [fileinfo] context. --- Fixed: [date format=3D] was not working on all platforms --- Fixed: mysql Windows bug --- New: xalan and xerces are now integrated into the binary --- New: [thishost] shows the server name WebDNA is running on --- New: [listallcontexts] shows a list of all reserved context names --- New: [thisport] shows the port number of the server WebDNA is running = on. --- Bug: xerces has some flaws under OSX.
