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.

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
