The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

Changes for version 2.8

  • Migrated to proserver.svn.sf.net Removed non-core modules (SourceAdaptors & Transports). Those previously distributed as part of the ProServer repository will still be available on cvs.sanger.ac.uk
  • Added support for authentication, with two methods provided: IP address and remote HTTP authority.
  • Added builtin support for Simple Interaction Format files.
  • Added strict_boundaries config option to turn on Andy's new feature-is-within-bounds checks, retaining backwards-compatible behaviour.
