Mason is a component-based web site development system with caching,
debugging, and previewing facilities.  Check out http://www.masonhq.com
for more information.

Dave Rolsky ([email protected]) was the primary developer on this release.

Changes in 0.88:

  - Fixed broken Parser postprocessor code (broken since 0.85).  Added
  tests for this code path as well as the preprocessor feature.
  (Reported by Tim Bishop).
  - Replaced lots of simple accessors with new HTML::Mason::MethodMaker
  (which just makes simple read-only and read-write accessor methods).
  - Removed all direct hash key access from one object into another.
  - Removed all unneeded uses of Exporter in various modules.
  - Added warning about using mod_perl as a DSO to README file.
  - Added 'cgi_object' method to HTML::Mason::Request::ApacheHandler.
  This method returns the CGI object Mason uses internally (unless
  you're using Apache::Request instead in which case its a fatal error).
  Added documentation for this. (suggested by many people).
  - Squashed warning in assignment to %ARGS in component sub body.
  - Fixed call_method and scall_method to take arbitrary list of args
  instead of hash.
  - Fixed expression escape flags to allow arbitrary following
  whitespace.  (reported by Mikhail Zabaluev)
  - Added FAQ on how to handle file uploads.
  - $m->cache returns the value stored on a successful store action.
  - Reduced memory usage by removing unneeded uses of various modules.
  On my box I see about a 500k or so reduction in memory use (Dave).
  - Removed all uses of the IO::* modules.
  - Mason seems to be working under a mod_perl DSO, at least under
  mod_perl 1.24 and Apache 1.3.12.  This probably has nothing to do with
  Mason but the very adventurous are encouraged to experiment with a
  mod_perl DSO and report back to the mason list.
