Hi All,

I'm pleased to announce the release of  
MasonX::ApacheHandler::WithCallbacks 0.95. Despite the minor-seeming  
jump from version 0.91 to 0.95, this is actually quite a major release.
The big new addition is an object-oriented interface. In addition to  
the existing functional callback interface, you can now create callback  
classes by subclassing MasonX::CallbackHandler. Callback methods are  
identified in the subclasses by the use of attributes on the method  
declarations.

This opens up a great new world for those of us who need to build  
large, complex systems that require a more object-oriented application  
design, and for those who might want to develop libraries of utility  
callback classes that you can basically just plug in to a  
MasonX::ApacheHandler::WithCallbacks-powered Mason server.

If this sounds intriguing, I encourage you to read the documentation. I  
wrote a lot of it, especially in MasonX::CallbackHandler, where there  
are even a few examples. The new version is making its way to a CPAN  
mirror near you, and can also be downloaded from

Changes:

0.95  Thu May  1 05:36:38 2003
       - Changed MasonX::CallbackHandle to MasonX::CallbackHandler to
         reflect its job as a subclassable callback handler.
       - Added support for object-oriented callbacks. Callback classes  
can
         be created to inherit from MasonX::CallbackHandler. They have  
their
         own class keys, and the callbacks are named for the callback  
methods,
         which are themselves identified by attributes. This is a much  
bigger
         addition than it sounds like here. Read the  
MasonX::CallbackHandler
         documentation for all the details.
       - Many spelling errors corrected thanks to Scott Lanning.

0.91  Fri Feb 14 22:45:10 2003
       - Fixed POD typos.
       - Added note about testing callbacks to documentation.
       - Altered testing methodology to allow testing of multiple
         configurations.
       - Added tests for invalid parameters.
       - Added tests for error conditions.
