Notes: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ELEVEN 0.6 RELEASE NOTES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Morrison November 9, 2004 I'm delighted to announce the sixth release of Eleven - a programming language for creating robust, scalable web applications. Please send bug reports, feature requests, or other comments to Joe Morrison <jdm@statesafe.org> or post them to the mailing list. For information about the mailing list, visit: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/eleven-devinfo Fixed serious bug in PHP translator related to subroutines and launcher variables --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In certain cases, returning from a subroutine could cause the wrong stack frame to be popped - usually resulting in corrupted data. This problem only occurred with the PHP back end, not mod_perl. Fixed. Fixed table formatting problem (only occurred when using Mac/IE) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Added non-breaking spaces to every table cell, on either side of the data within the cell. This guarantees that the cell border will always be drawn correctly.
