<p><% name %> version 0.9.4 released on 07/07/07</p>

<a id="Introduction"></a><h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>This release contains a few improvements and fixes, and it adds some more

configuration options.</p>

<a id="NewFeatures"></a><h2>New Features</h2>

<ul>

<li>New <span class="filename">Application.config</span> settings

<code>SessionCookiePath</code>, <code>SessionStoreDir</code>,

<code>CacheDir</code> and <code>AddressFiles</code>.</li>

<li>The AutoReloadingAppServer now supports not only python-fam,

but also python-gamin.</li>

</ul>

<a id="Improvements"></a><h2>Improvements and Refinements</h2>

<ul>

<li>Assume root path as the servlet path if the URL has been completely

rewritten by the web server.</li>

<li>Added optional parameter to <code>HTTPRequest.serverURL()</code> for

getting canonical hostnames, False by default.</li>

<li>Fixed the <code>HTTPRequest.previousURI()</code> method and added a

<code>HTTPRequest.previousContextName()</code> method.</li>

<li>Don't install the MKBrowser context automagically. It is now part of

the default configuration where it can be removed.</li>

<li>The appointment of the default context (if none was specified) was

not deterministic. When ambiguous, we now refuse the temptation to guess,

raising an error condition instead.</li>

<li>Webware did not shut down cleanly when AutoReloadingAppServer or

ThreadedAppServer could not be properly initialized. The error handling

here is now much better.</li>

</ul>

<a id="Security"></a><h2>Security</h2>

<ul>

<li>Implemented <code>HTTPRequest.isSecure()</code> method.</li>

<li>Use secure session cookies for HTTPS connections. This is configurable

with the <span class="filename">Application.config</span> setting

<code>SecureSessionCookie</code> which is True by default. (Suggested by

Adam Kerrison.)</li>

</ul>

<a id="Bugfixes"></a><h2>Bugfixes</h2>

<ul>

<li>Deletion of cookies could lead to problems due to a wrong cookie path

(report and fix by Adam Kerrison).</li>

<li>Fixed a bug concerning servlet reuse (reported by Andrew Butash),

adding a <code>Servlet._busy</code> attribute.</li>

</ul>
