File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 0.10

Notes:


Changes:
* Numerous documentation additions and updates

* It appears that File::Basename::dirname doesn't like being given a blank
parameter anymore (5.8.0+).  If you got an error about "fileparse(): need a
valid pathname", that should be taken care of now.  Thanks to Alex Beamish for finding and reporting this one.

* Calling an invalid plugin with an OpenPlugin object now produces a more
useful error message.

* The documentation for creating subclasses to the Exception Plugin were
incorrect.  They have been corrected.

* The fetch call in the Session plugin should always return undef if the
session has expired.

** Included a template for how to create custom exception modules.

** The Exception plugin now allows you to catch and then rethrow exceptions if desired.

** The Exception plugin has a new method called log_throw, which first logs a message, then raises an exception.  The throw method by itself no longer logs the message.

** The log plugin now checks to see who is calling it, so it can act
differently based on the caller.  This is one of the major benefits of
Log4perl, and now OpenPlugin is able to make use of it.  You just need to add new "loggers" to the config file to define different logging methods.

** Added mod_perl 2.0 support via the Apache2 driver.  Currently, there is no Cookie or Upload plugin available with this driver, but Request, Param, and Httpheader are working.

** The Session plugin now properly supports Apache::Session drivers in addition to just "file".  Specifically, DBI was tested, but others should work too.
