  <title>Perl Module RPC::XML Change History</title>
  <description>
    Revision history for the Perl extension module RPC::XML. This is an
    implementation of the XML-RPC standard as described at the URL
    "http://www.xmlrpc.com". This implementation also permits some minor
    extensions to the base protocol in terms of supporting HTTP/1.1 and
    allowing choice of character-set encodings for XML messages.

        Fix for

        fix the URL testing on the server object to be less strict. Instead of
        only allowing "localhost", now also allows "localhost.localdomain" and
        does a look-up of "localhost" for the 127.* IP address and permits
        that as well. In essence, this extends and supercedes the second change
        listed above after more invariant cases were discovered.

        Per <xhtml:a href="http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30042">RT ticket #30042</xhtml:a>,
        made a do-nothing branch in RPC::XML::smart_encode actually die with an
        error when a reference-type is passed in that cannot be converted.
        Added two tests to cover this, and took the opportunity to convert
        10_data.t to Test::More.

        Applied a patch from Chris Darroch to make the spawning of servers work
        in some corner-cases that were failing. All that was required was
        explicit specification of 'localhost' in the instantiation.

        Applied a patch from Masatake Daimon (大門正岳) to improve the performance
        of the parser by reducing the (vast) number of string-concat operations.
        During this change, re-wrote the parser tests to use Test::More and
        have better diagnostics.

        fixed a bug that caused a server to incorrectly report the location and
        cause of an XML parsing error in the request. The actual bug and
        solution were different than initially reported in the ticket.

        fix to the XML serialization of double values to conform to the
        XML-RPC spec, as it does not allow for exponential notation. This also
        required changes to the tests, as values were no longer being
        auto-truncated at 5 decimal places. Also finished cleaning up the
        t/10_data.t test suite with diagnostic messages on the tests that
        had not previously gotten them.

        In response to concerns raised by a report of parsing problems, added
        XML entity encoding for ' and " (&amp;apos; and &amp;quot;) to the

        sure it is correctly turning all core XML entities back into characters
        during the parsing process.

        Based on a report from Brian Phillips, made adjustments in the
        smart_encode helper-routine to deal with blessed references. Anything
        that is derived from HASH or ARRAY is encoded as a struct or array,
        respectively. Anything derived from SCALAR is dereferenced and encoded
        as per usual. Carried this over to the class constructors, with special
        attention to the RPC::XML::simple_type class. Added tests to the suite
        for all of this, as well.

        The "system.status" method (both the general one and the one that is
        specific to Apache) now recognizes an optional boolean parameter that
        can keep the status call from counting against the "total_requests"
        struct value. This is to allow external monitors (status, health, etc.)
        to use that call without running up the value of that field needlessly.

        5.801 or higher, and the test suite skips the two tests that are broken
        by it, in cases where the system is still at 5.800 or older.

        values into zero-length RPC::XML::string objects. Lastly, the

        Applied a patch from Chris Darroch to allow better handling of
        arguments in RPC::XML::Server::server_loop. While the HTTP::Daemon
        portion was fine with collapsing the arg list into a hash, the
        Net::Server portion actually has documented behavior when it sees the
        same argument more than once, and collapsing to a hash caused these
        extra arguments to be lost.

        The parsing of incoming data in the client and both server classes is
        now done to a streaming XML parser, eliminating the need for the
        full message to ever be in memory at once. Likewise, the client and
        server classes have new attributes and accessor methods to allow
        them to spool outgoing messages to files if the messages threaten to
        be too large to keep in memory (this is best used when dealing with a
        lot of Base64 data that is being dealt with directly on disk as well).

      <description>
        Abstracted some of the invocation code out of the server class and
        into the RPC::XML::Procedure class, where it really belonged. This
        aided in further eliminating redundancy in the server class in the
        same general area. I may yet want to tune this area, but I'm a good
        deal happier with the reduction in complexity and repetition.

        Fixed a bug in RPC::XML::Procedure found by a user (a former
        co-worker from my Denver days, coincidentally enough) that would
        trigger when auto_methods was set to 1 on a server object, but the
        request had no matching file anywhere in the search path.

        Fixed a small bug in make_method that would have caused a failure if
        anyone used the command-line switches to specify data, rather than a
        base-file (specifically, the handling of the --code argument). Also
        clarified a few places in the man page.

        Found bugs in both versions of the system.status server method (both

        "methods_known" value. Also found a bug in system.methodHelp. Amazing
        what writing the regression tests can uncover.

      <description>
        RPC::XML::Method is now a skeleton file, slated to be removed by or
        before 1.0. It has been renamed to RPC::XML::Procedure, and the
        RPC::XML::Method class is declared as an empty subclass of the
        RPC::XML::Procedure class. Procedures differ from methods in that they
        do not get the server object instance as a first parameter in the list
        that gets passed in.

        concept.

      <description>
        When code blocks for XPL files are eval'd, they are given a "package"
        statement to force subsequent calls to be in the RPC::XML::Procedure
        namespace, rather than defaulting to main (a potentially dangerous
        assumption). The docs on routine-calling in RPC::XML::Server have been
        updated to discuss this.

        RPC::XML::Client no longer returns a full RPC::XML::response object
        from any of its routines. Rather, simple_request still does what it
        always has, and send_request now returns a data-type value. All the
        data-type classes have a method called "is_fault" that returns false
        for all except (of course) RPC::XML::fault. This lets callers of
        send_request test the return value to see if it is a fault.

        Added callback support for errors and faults to the RPC::XML::Client

        Almost all of the method-manipulation routines in RPC::XML::Server (all
        but add_default_methods()) now have counterparts called by the same
        name after s/method/proc/. This is purely for syntactical sugar and
        symmetry. Except in the case of add_proc(), where it actually ensures
        that a hash-reference calling convention is geared correctly to add a
        RPC::XML::Procedure object rather than RPC::XML::Method.

        Documentation for Apache::RPC::Server was updated based on trials and

        blocks. This isn't very clear in the mod_perl documentation, but at
        least the docs for this module reflect exactly what I have configured
        on my development box, so I know it works.

        Added list_servers() static method to Apache::RPC::Server, to allow
        for abstract retrieval of the ID-tags of the current known servers.

        such.

        Started down the path of making the suite as a whole geared more
        towards real use than illustrative example. The XML data-classes now
        no longer use indention (or any superfluous whitespace) in their
        stringification. This shortened the code quite a bit, and will also
        mean shorter messages. This could not have been done cleanly without
        the tests in t/10_data.t.

        Extracted the method-manipulation code into a new class, called

        Apache::RPC::Server.

      <description>
        Clarified some issues in the new() constructor of the
        Apache::RPC::Server class, and also changed the calling convention.
        It no longer treats the first few arguments in any special way at all.
        The arguments are all consistently taken as option/value pairs, just
        as with RPC::XML::Server. The documentation reflects this. This may
        break things built on the old style, but in the long run it should
        prove much better.
