ANNOUNCE: MasonX::ApacheHandler::WithCallbacks 0.90

Hi All,

I'm pleased to announce the release of  
MasonX::ApacheHandler::WithCallbacks 0.90. This is a significant new  
release, not only because of the version number jump, but because the  
arguments passed to callbacks have completely changed. Now instead of a  
long (and growing with each version) list of arguments being passed, a  
single MasonX::CallbackHandle object will be passed in to callback  
subroutines as the sole argument.

The new version is making its way to a CPAN mirror near you, and can  
also be downloaded from

    
http://david.wheeler.net/code/MasonX-ApacheHandler-WithCallbacks- 
0.90.tar.gz

I decided on the package name "MasonX::CallbackHandle" rather than  
"MasonX::CallbackRequest" or "MasonX::CallbackData" to avoid confusion  
with the Mason request object and because there's more to the object  
than just data. I felt that "MasonX::CallbackHandle" was a good  
compromise, as the object is a sort of handle on the triggering of the  
callback.

Feedback will be welcomed warmly. Enjoy!

David

Changes:

0.90  Mon Jan 20 22:22:16 2003
       - Added new class, MasonX::CallbackHandle. This class represents  
all
         of the data relevant to the execution of a callback, plus  
provides
         the utility methods redirect() and abort() that were previously
         provided by MasonX::ApacheHandler::WithCallbacks.
       - Changed callback code reference interface so that instead of  
taking a
         list of relevant arguments, it takes a single argument: an
         instantiation of the new MasonX::CallbackHandle class. This  
will allow
         new data and methods to be provided without having to change the
         interface for callbacks again.
       - Removed ToDo item about putting callbacks in a hash instead of  
an
         array. I benchmarked it, and found that in most cases, the  
array will
         be faster, even if only two of its indices are used. So  
callback will
         stay in an array indexed by priority.
       - Incremented version number to 0.90 because I think that this new
         interface will remain pretty stable.

0.12  Thu Jan 16 18:12:18 2003
       - Fixed redirection to actually redirect before Mason creates its
         component stack and executes components. Thanks to Garth Webb
         for the spot.
