Ember Release Notes and History

Change log

• Fixed multi-part web form / file uploads in w3e
• Fixed incorrect tracking of script source filename in runtime errors
• Fixed type casting from real to int values
• Added runtime error messages in type method calls (typeMath and typeCompare routines).
• Added "createVariable()" routing in mod_misc
• Fixed 64 bit issues in the parser for Solaris
• Fixed stdarg/vararg issue for gcc version 3

Change log

• Renamed config file management functions as they clash with similar files conatined in mod_msql. It was only a problem if the module is static linked.
• Fixed some errors about int/real/money math operation type mismatch
• Fixed testing for divide by zero
• Fixed incorporation of globals from binary library loads
• Fixed initialisation problem with some form data fields in w3e
• Rewrote comment parsing to better handle situations such as double quotes within comments etc.
• Fixed problem with parsing escaped backslashes in literal text values
• Fixed initialisation problem with some form data fields in w3e
• Some internal definitions used parser generated values (eg. COND_EQ and OP_EQ etc). This will cause a problem with compiled libraries if these values ever change. All internal macros now use values defined in ember.h to ensure they never change. This will require a recompile of your libraries. The binary format version number has been incremented to ensure that loading an existing library will result in an error message rather than a strange result.

Change log

• Fixed problem with library function load order. Functions are now written to the library in the order in which they were defined rather than the hash table order. This removes the chance of introducing unresolved function errors during the reload.
• Resolved lexer problem with white space around the start-of-script tag when embedded in HTML
• Fixed problem with arrays and assocs being included in literal strings (i.e. auto expansion of arrays etc).
• Added char2ascii and ascii2char to mod_str
• Fixed problem when manipulating the individual characters of a TEXT value. More type and offset checks are now performed.
• Added config file and security features to w3e. See the info in the doc directory for further details
• Fixed a bug in the lexer that caused it to mis-handle some escaped characters in a text string.
• Fixed getopt issue for AIX
• Fixed problem with macr references failing from compiled libraries
• Added getchar() and setchar() as an interface for manipulating individual characters of a string

Change log

• Fixed problem when passing an array into a w3e web page.
• Added support for module initialisation functions to module handler
• Added support for standard stdio file handles to the io module

Change log

• Fixed problem with spaces within an exec path (i.e. #! /usr/local ..)
• Fixed implementation of getpwuid and getpwnam in mod_syscall
• Fixed core dump when overwriting a scalar variable with an array value
• Fixed core dump when overwriting a scalar variable with an assoc value
• Fixed problem when a library calls functions from a dynamic module that hasn't been loaded by the host script (i.e. was loaded during the compilation of the library but not the execution of the script)
• Implemented the system() library routines as some OS's appear to stuff up the exit status in their implementations of system().
• Fixed problem when using expandText (incl echo) and referencing an array that doesn't exist
• Fixed a few minor memory leaks

Change log

• Fixed problem with binary file format that was causing problems on Solaris boxes.

Change log

• Added better support for macro definition and handling within a dynamic module.
