[Petr T. <Pet...@pi...>]

Changes from 0.93.2a to 0.93.2b
13-Aug-2002
-------------------------------
http://www.actionframework.org
-------------------------------
- log messages now include [init], [cleanup] or [request id] prefix
   (request id is taken from Context.hashCode() and may be "unknown" if
   cannot be determined - for log messages comming from non-request
   thread, for example) note: applications need not to prepend [request
   id] to log messages, internal thread-to-context mapping is used to
   manage prefixes automatically
- $SERVLET and $URL variables are now set before ActionServlet.handle()
- new org.actionframework.logAllTypeHandlers <property> may be set to
   "true" to log invocation of all type handlers (by default
   org.actionframework.* type handlers are excluded from the log)
- trailing slash in a new-session URL no longer causes unassigned action
- added new RedirectTemplate class - virtual template for URL
   redirecting from methods with Template return type - see
   ActionServlet.getTemplate() in API doc
- removed internal ContextParameterRetriever class
- bugfix: misleading unexpected initialization error was reported when
           ActionConfig was not found
- bugfix: <in/output-variable> evaluated to null on false "if" condition
           even if some value had been retreived from the request or URL
- bugfix: <in/output-variable name="v1" value="$v2"/>s copied $v2 as
           String
- bugfix: parameter retreiving didn't work for <invoke> in some cases
- bugfix: show-* attribute ignoring didn't work for nested <invoke>
           elements
- bugfix: composite type definition was not checked against null
- bugfix: if no <template> set 'is-new-session' attribute to "true" and
           newSession() returned null, NullPointerException was thrown
- bugfix: if show-value-of returns a template and there is no content
           type handler found, the template is rendered as usually
- bugfix: array values had additional pair of brackets [] in log
- bugfix: ConversionException.setParameterValue() was not called in some
           cases
- changes in examples:
   - build.xml now detects classpath for any version of Velocity
     automatically, copying of velocity*.jar files to Ant's lib
     directory is not required
   - bugfix: SendReceive demo functionality was broken

Thanks to everyone for feedback!
