Change Log for OpenResty

0.4.2 Sep 27 2008
* demo/BlogAdmin - added a new demo app.
* added documentation for metamodel duplication and recovery tools bin/save-metamode.pl and bin/restore-metamodel.pl to the OpenResty::Spec::Upgrading document.
* added the link to my Y!ES talk's slides to OpenResty's main POD.

0.4.1 Sep 25 2008
* demo/RestyCheck - added dispatcher and timer.
* demo/Click4honor - use leading underscore for builtin url parameters.
* demo/Springbot -
** various improvements for the staff searching feature
** fixed the builtin url parameter syntax for OpenResty interaction.
* demo/Blog -
** fixed the titles for init.pl.
** fixed the RSS links.
* demo/Admin - fixed the appearance of the create model row panel.

* CompiledView handler - use read_only => 1 for DB requests.
* Feed handler - ignore potential errors in time_pg2rss.
* Pg backend - now we cached the set_user operation.
* Login handler - fixed a bug regarding login method mismatch.

* added the bin/httpresty.pl script for doing HTTP REST on the command line.
* fixed the infinite-looping bugs in bin/tab2json.pl.

* Makefile.PL - now we demand CGI::Coookie::XS 0.15. The earlier versions have serious vulnerabilities.

0.4.0 Sep 1 2008
* updated the metamodel to version 0.006.
* added a "prohibiting" property to ACL rules so that these rules with "prohibiting" set to true can deny certain accesses specifically. Prohibiting rules have higher priority than ordinary "white rules".
* refactored the server kernel and now the kernel is almost independent of the various handler classes, so the user can code up their own handler classes w/o modifying the OpenResty kernel.
* added a frontend.handler option to the config file to allow the site runner specify exactly which handlers to be loaded to the server kernel.
* added support for GET /=/version and GET /=/version/more.
* now we only allow _user/_password/_use_cookie/_session/etc for builtin params.
* no longer encode/decode stuff when the encoding is already UTF-8.
* no longer die when metamodel's version mismatch (merely warn instead).
* fixed the cache bug regarding DELETE_role_list.
* do not check password in Role.pm and allow special chars in the password.

* demo/Onccf - a new demo web site based on OpenResty
* demo/Onccf - added the pod2html.js script, which is a JavaScript implementation for the pod2html script.

* demo/Admin - always display every fields in the model row listing even if the value is an empty string
* demo/Admin - now we have a more pretty login UI.
* demo/Admin - now we use true POST for updating and inserting row values.
* demo/Admin - fixed the page width of the model row view and also use POST for model row creation.
* demo/Admin - fixed the newline to textarea mapping.

* added a new script for saving metamodels for every account: bin/save-metamodel.pl.
* added a new script named bin/restore-metamodel.pl for restoring metamodels saved by bin/save-metamodel.pl.
* added a new script bin/tab2json.pl.
* added view precompilation support:
** a new CompiledView handler
** commandline interface for compiling view invocation urls to the compiled.view file which could be loaded by the CompiledView handler:
    $ bin/openresty compile '/=/view/a/b?c=d' '/=/view/f/z/okay?foo=bar'

* perl minisql compiler - added support for operators @ and ~
