Please see README for changes for past versions.

 + = improvement;    - = bug fix;    (d) = documentation

 ++ Runtime speed enhancements for 15-20% improvement including:
   + INTERNAL API ReadFile() now returns scalar ref as memory optimization
   + cache InodeNames config setting in ASP object now for common lookups
   + removed CompileChecksum() INTERNAL API, since it was an unnecesary
     method decomposition along a common code path
   + removed IsChanged() INTERNAL API since compiling of scripts
     is now handled by CompileInclude() which does this functionality already
   + removed unnecessary decomp of IncludesChanged() INTERNAL API, which was along
     critical code path
   + do not call INTERNAL SearchDirs() API when compiling base script
     since we have already validated its path earlier
   + Use stat(_) type shortcut for stat() & -X calls where possible
   + Optimized rendering of static bits in dynamic scripts for script compilation 
     by going straight to the output buffer instead of through $Response->Write
   + Moved @INC initilization up to handler() & consolidated with $INCDir lib
   + removed useless Apache::ASP::Collection::DESTROY
   + removed useless Apache::ASP::Server::DESTROY
   + removed useless Apache::ASP::GlobalASA::DESTROY
   + removed useless Apache::ASP::Response::DESTROY

 - Default path for $Response->{Cookies} was from CookiePath
   config, but this was incorrect as CookiePath config is only
   for $Session cookie, so now path for $Response->{Cookies}
   defaults to /

 - Fixed bug where global.asa events would get undefined with
   StatINC and GlobalPackage set when the GlobalPackage library
   changed & get reloaded.

 (d) Documented long time config NoCache.

 -- Fixed use with Apache::Filter, capable as both source
    and destination filter.  Added ./site/eg/filter.filter example
    to demonstrate these abilities.

 + Use $r->err_headers_out->add Apache::Table API for cookies 
   now instead of $r->cgi_header_out.  Added t/cookies.t test to 
   cover new code path as well as general $Response->Cookies API.
   Also make cookies headers sorted by cookie and dictionary key 
   while building headers for repeatable behavior, this latter was 
   to facilitate testing.

 - fixed $Server->Mail error_log output when failing to connect
   to SMTP server.

 + added tests to cover UniquePackages & NoCache configs since this
   config logic was updated

 + made deprecated warnings for use of certain $Response->Member
   calls more loadly write to error_log, so I can remove the AUTOLOAD
   for Response one day

 - Probably fixed behavior in CgiHeaders, at least under perl 5.8.0, and
   added t/cgi_headers.t to cover this config.

 + removed $Apache::ASP::CompressGzip setting ability, used to possibly
   set CompressGzip in the module before, not documented anyway

 + removed $Apache::ASP::Filter setting ability to set Filter globally, 
   not documented anyway

 + removed old work around for setting ServerStarting to 0
   at runtime, which was bad for Apache::DBI on win32 a long
   time ago:

    $Apache::ServerStarting and $Apache::ServerStarting = 0;

   If this code is still needed in Apache::ASP->handler() let
   me know.

 + check to make sure data in internal database is a HASH ref
   before using it for session garbage collection.  This is to
   help prevent against internal database corruption in a 
   network share that does not support flock() file locking.

 + For new XMLSubs ASP type <%= %> argument interpolation
   activated with XMLSubsPerlArgs 0, data references can now
   be passed in addition to SCALAR/string references, so one
   can pass an object reference like so:

     <my:tag value="<%= $Object %>" />

   This will only work as long as the variable interpolation <%= %>
   are flushed against the containing " " or ' ', or else the object
   reference will be stringified when it is concatenated with 
   the rest of the data.

   Testing for this feature was added to ./t/xmlsubs_aspargs.t

   This feature is still experimental, and its interface may change.
   However it is slated for the 3.0 release as default method,
   so feedback is appreciated.

 + For new XMLSubs ASP type <%= %> argument interpolation
   activated with XMLSubsPerlArgs 0, <% %> will no longer work,
   just <%= %>, as in 

     <my:tag value="some value <%= $value %> more data" />

   This feature is still experimental, and its interface may change.
   However it is slated for the 3.0 release as default method,
   so feedback is appreciated.
