ANNOUNCE xmlBlaster release 0.76

[Marcel Ruff <ruff at swand.lake.de>]

Hi,

release 0.76 is out!


Changes for 0.76 [May.8, 2000]
===============================

   - Added a client cache to CorbaConnection class, allowing
     clients cheap synchronous polling for a message (Java only).
     See xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/client.cache.xml

   - Added demo for http browser callback without closing the http
     connection.
     See
         xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/client.browser.xml
         xmlBlaster/demo/html/systemInfo
         xmlBlaster/src/java/org/xmlBlaster/protocol/http
     and online:
    
http://www.xmlBlaster.org/systemInfo/systemInfo.html?ActionType=login&loginName=karl&passwd=secret

     Netscape 4.x on Linux/HPUX/Win and
     Netscape 4.7 / MSIE 5 on WinNT and Win98
     runs fine.

   - Bugfixes (especially memory leak fixed) in browser
     callback framework.

   - Logging output can now be customized.
     You can choose the Date and Time formatting and the
     language and country.
     The amount of logging information is adjustable as well.
     Example:
        "Saturday, April 29, 2000 7:05:49 PM GMT+02:00 INFO Published
AuthServer IOR on port 7609"
     or in french:
        "samedi 29 avril 2000 19 h 06 GMT+02:00 INFO Published
AuthServer IOR on port 7609"
     or in short form german:
        "29.04.00 19:07 INFO Published AuthServer IOR on port 7609"
     or minimal:
        "Published AuthServer IOR on port 7609"
     See xmlBlaster.properties.template how to use it.

   - Bugfix when logging to file with missing permissions in Util.java
     The bug resulted in a never ending loop.

   - xmlBlaster.properties can now be placed in 'java.home' directory
     as well (this is for example /opt/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib).
     This feature may be helpful if you want to start a deamon
     or a servlet which has no home directory.
     See org.xmlBlaster.util.Property for more informations

   - xmlBlaster now uses the new JacORB 1.1 with SSL support

   - .jacorb_properties is renamed to jacorb.properties
     YOU NEED TO REMOVE YOUR $HOME/.jacorb_properties and
     configure $HOME/jacorb.properties
     Use the xmlBlaster/jacorb.properties.template as a base

   - Peter added the sweet rainbow fish to our control panel

   - XmlKey.getContentMimeExtended() now returns "" (empty string)
     as default fallback. Before the default was null.
     This is smarter when used in XSL style sheets.





enjoy,

Marcel
