===== 2.2.1 (2012-06-07) =====
Addendum to the great renaming
* Eliom_cookies -> Eliom_cookie
* Eliom_comet.Channels -> Eliom_comet.Channel
===== 2.2 (2012-06-02) =====
The great renaming: Make Eliom's API more coherent
* Dropped Eliom_pervasives, split into
** Eliom_lib (extension of stdlib)
** Eliom_content (content creation)
* Moved all Html5,Xhtml content function to Eliom_content.{Html5,Xhtml}
** {HTML5,SVG,XHTML}.M -> Eliom_content.{Html5,Svg,Xhtml}.F
** {HTML5,SVG,XHTML}.DOM -> Eliom_content.{Html5,Svg,Xhtml}.D
** Eliom_output.{Html5,Xhtml}: form functions to Eliom_content.{Html5,Xhtml}
** Eliom_client.Html5 -> Eliom_content.Html5.To_dom
** Eliom_dom -> Eliom_content.Html5.Manip
** HTML5.of_element -> Eliom_content.Html5.Of_dom.of_element
* Removed default implementations in Eliom_content.{Html5,Svg,Xhtml} (was inclusion of DOM)
* Rename Eliom_output to Eliom_registration
* Rename Eliom_registration.Eliom_appl to Eliom_registration.App
* Conform naming conventions for modules (singular, lower-case)
** XML -> Xml
** SVG -> Svg
** XML_types -> Xml_types
** XHTML_types -> Xhtml_types
** HTML5_types -> Html5_types
** Eliom_services -> Eliom_service
** Eliom_parameters -> Eliom_parameter
** Eliom_references -> Eliom_reference
** Eliom_extensions -> Eliom_extension
* Approximating compatibility module for Eliom 2.1: Eliom_compatibility_2_1
===== 2.1.1 (2012-03-20) =====
* Server: Add Eliom references of scope site
* Server: Add an non-Lwt interface to volatile Eliom references
* Client: Add an option to restrict usage of XHR.
* Bugfixes:
** Client: More robust and portable history handling
** Client: More robust CSS preloading (change_page)
** Client: Better compatibility with Opera
===== 2.1.0 (2012-02-24) =====
* Page loading rewritten.
** We do not traverse the HTML tree anymore for retrieving links
and putting events handlers, it use querySelectorAll instead.
(with a fallback for older browsers)
*** We do not send a sparse tree along the page anymore.
*** It is faster and more resilient to ugly browser plugins
** Add css loading optimisations: It fetch the css included
using @include with XHR before changing page and construct only
one concatenated css. It avoids page blinking when the css change
and is faster (browsers tend to render the page once per css).
** Unwrapping hand rewritten in js.
** And a lot of other optimisations.
* Rework of unique nodes:
** Introduce new lightweight 'unique' node of scope request,
a.k.a. DOM nodes: use it through HTML5.DOM.{div,...} or its alias
HTML5.{div,...}.
** To create unique node of scope application, the function
'HTML5.M.unique ?copy' has been renamed 'HTML5.create_global_elt
?id'
** Abstract id for application node are created with
"HTML.new_global_elt_id"
** Node representation now differs between the client and the
server. They are unwrapped on the client to simplify the XML
representation: "unique" node that have already a "Javascript DOM
representation" only contains a reference to the DOM
representation.
* Server API Changes:
** Add Eliom_state.get_*_session_group_size to know the number of
session in a session group
** Parameters of type any can't be suffixes (semantic problem)
** Add Eliom_comet.wait_timeout to notify when a client isn't active
** Allow services to setup "Cache-policy: max-age" with Text, CssText and
Files modules.
** Eliom_state.discard and discard_data now accept scope request.
* Client API Changes:
** add an Eliom_dom module provinding imperative function on unique HTML5.elt.
(for instance {{{appendChild: ?before:'a elt -> 'b elt -> 'c elt -> unit}}}).
** HTML5.M.a_on{click,...} functions directly expect a
function as parameter (XML.event_handler_of_function isn't
required anymore).
** Eliom_comet: configuration option for time until timeout after the focus is lost
** Handling wrapping of int32 type.
** Onload event handlers on HTML elements are executed when they are converted to
DOM (using Eliom_client.of_ functions). This allows them to be added to nodes not
sent in the page.
** Calls to {{{Eliom_services.onload}}} are taken into account for services sending
caml values. The handlers are executed when the call to
{{{Eliom_client.caml_call_service}}} terminates.
* Eliom syntax:
** Event handlers can now access the current event using the _ev variable
inside {{ ... }} typed according to the attribute.
** Allow modules to be used inside client expr {{ ... }} and client_expr
{{ ... }} to be used inside modules
** Add -ppopt option to eliomc
* And a lot of bugfixes.
===== 2.0.2 (2001-11-30) =====
* Compatibility with js_of_ocaml-1.0.8 and tyxml-2.0.1
* API Changes:
** Eliom_output.Redirection: use 302 as default and introduce
abstract nome for all the 30x HTTP code
** Eliom_output.Customize: remove unrequired Functor parameters.
* Delayed URl computation: this allows relative links to be created
outside of service handler.
* Client: do not ignore "onload" events attached on Dom elements
other than window.
* Bugfixes:
** Client: do not execute change_page_uri when the middle button or
any modifier key is pressed.
** Client: update correctly the location when changing page with
forms.
** Server: displaying better dynlink error messages.
** Syntax extension: avoid infinite loop while parsing first-order
module expression
** Eliom_parameters: fixing wrong parameter names for list of list
** Eliom_parameters: fixing bug causing stack overflow when lists
parameter names were wrong
** Fixing bug with non-localized parameters and service not keeping
non-attached params
** Eliom_comet: stateless channels can be registered multiple times
(close #220)

** fix browser compatibility: it should work with Firefox (>= 3.0), Chrome
(all recent version we tested), Safari 5, Opera (tested 11.51), Internet
explorer (9, ie 8 almost work)
** in forms declared outside of the sp's scope, hrefs were incorrect:
url calculation is now done for each request
** the function {{{Eliom_client.caml_call_service}}} was broken with some kind
of services
** application cookies are now always sent
** fix incorrect sharing of type variables in the syntax extension (thanks to
William Le Ferrand)
** 404 and 403 errors are not dropped by applications anymore (This fix is
partial: when the page content is application content, this still does not
work when an exception handler returns something else)
** Fix problems with url generation for non-attached coservices inside an
application
** tail recursive marshalling and demarshalling: no more limit on the depth of
data sent along the page
** Fix problems with redirection and action with `NoReload exiting the application
** Handle correctly 204 code in application (do nothing with change page, fail
with caml_call_service)
** Fix escape character '>': problem with strings containing "]]>"

* Eliom: Now possible to pre-apply services (to make links or to be
used as fallbacks for coservices)
* Eliom: services can now set their own cookies
* Eliom: Disposable coservices (coservices that you can use only n
times)
* Eliom: Nurpawiki: example of Wiki written by Janne Hellsten
* Eliom: New handling of URLs with suffixes
* Ocsigen: New module Ocsipersist for persistent data, using its own
DBM server (ocsidbm)
* Eliom: Persistent sessions using Ocsipersist
* Eliom: Timeouts for sessions
* Eliom: Timeouts for coservices
* Ocsigen: It is now possible to give parameters to extensions in
configuration file.
* Ocsigen: Simplifying parsing of configuration file (could be
improved).
* Ocsigen: EXPERIMENTAL It is now possible to reload the modules
without stopping the server.
* Staticmod: Rewriting of URLs using regular expressions.
===== 0.6.0 (2007-03-14) =====
* {{{configure}}} script
* {{{<select>}}} in forms, by Stéphane Dalmas
* EXPERIMENTAL: The Web server is now extensible. It means that you
can add modules (like Apache modules) for generating pages,
filters of requests, extensions of config files. For now there are
two modules, one for static pages, and one for dynamic pages. The
only changes for users is that they need to dynlink staticmod.cmo
and ocsigenmod.cma from the configuration file. The syntax of
config file for modules and staticdir also changed.
* It is now possible to specify the encoding of characters for each
sub-site.
* Now usable with Ocamlnet 2.2 or 1.1.2.
* EXPERIMENTAL: If OCamlDuce is installed on your system, you can
now use it to do the type-checking of your pages (see the
documentation). Warning: This is broken with OCamlDuce 3.09.2
patch level 2. You need at least OCamlDuce 3.09.3 patch level 1.
* Removing Ocsimore from the default distribution. That version of
Ocsimore is not supported anymore. Ocsimore has been rewritten
from scratch by Piero Furiesi.
===== 0.5.1 (2006-12-14) =====
* Bugfix Konqueror: Multipart forms with now work correctly with
Konqueror
* Bugfix Internet Explorer: getting around a bug of Internet
Explorer while displaying page
* Bugfix NetBSD: Makefile
* Bugfix Debian for HPPA, Mips, Alpha: Makefile
* Bugfix: preemptive.cmi was missing in the installation directory
* Adding manpage (S. Mimram)
* Adding logrotate configuration
* Daemon mode: adding setsid and redirect stdout/stderr to
/dev/null. Closing stdin.
===== 0.5.0 (2006-11-23) =====
* HTTP 1.1 improved (HEAD, ETag, keep-alive implemented,
If-Modified-Since, ...)
* HTTPS support
* Pipelining of requests
* Server can listen on several ports
* Multiple servers: you can now define several servers in the config
file.
* Virtual hosts: filtering on hostnames/ports (with wildcards)
* Asynchronous file upload with multipart support
* Large file transfer improved.
* MIME types are now parsed from a file
* Changes in the syntax of config file
* Accessors for server parameters. Use ({{{get_user_agent sp}}})
instead of {{{sp.user_agent}}}.
* Page generation is now using {{{Lwt}}} cooperative threads, to
make it possible the generation of several pages at the same
time. Practically, add {{{Lwt.return}}} before the page you want
to send, and use cooperative input/output functions.
* Typing errors of parameters are now catchable.
* {{{static_dir}}} is now a function
* Most of global references have been removed. You now need to give
sp as parameter to {{{register_for_session}}}, {{{static_dir}}},
{{{close_session}}}, etc.
* Links and forms now take {{{server_params}}} instead of
{{{current_url}}} ({{{sp}}} is shorter than {{{sp.current_url}}})
* EXPERIMENTAL: Use of preemptive threads for non cooperative
libraries ({{{detach}}} function).
* EXPERIMENTAL: The {{{Ocsigen}}} module now contains a functor
{{{Make}}} to allows the use of several ways of generating
XHTML. The default way (using {{{XHTML.M}}} or the syntax
extension) can be used by doing {{{open Ocsigen.Xhtml}}}. There is
also an untyped xhtml generation module called {{{Ocsigen.Text}}}.
* EXPERIMENTAL: extension of forms.
* Reorganisation of the code
* Bugfixes in makefiles
* Bugfix: escaping of strings in xhtml with syntax extension (thanks
to David Mentre)
===== 0.4.0 (2006-06-06) =====
* Full reimplementation of the core using Generalized Algebraic Data
Types,
* {{{_int}}}, {{{_string}}}, etc. are now called {{{int}}},
{{{string}}}, etc.
* The type {{{_http_params}}} is now called {{{server_params}}},
* Services functions now all take 3 parameters, one for server
parameters, one for GET parameters, and one for POST
parameters. Note that {{{**}}} is used to create **pairs** and not
tuples.
* The {{{a}}} and {{{post_form}}} functions now take a fix number of
parameters, corresponding to GET parameters.
* //URLs// are now called //services//,
* //state URLs// are now called //auxiliary services//,
* {{{register_post_url}}} does not exist anymore. use
{{{register_service}}} instead (idem for all other
{{{register_post_*}}} functions).
* Changes for prefix URLs
* Small changes for actions
* EXPERIMENTAL: sums, bool and list types for services and forms
* small bugfixes
