[Melati-announce] announce: melati 0.53.2.1

[Tim J. <ti...@ho...>]

All,

We have found problems with webmacro20001206 eating memory uncontrollably.
Tracking this down seems a little pointless as the issues are quire possibly
fixed in the webmacro CVS.  The trouble with simply dumping webmacro20001206
in favor of a CVS based version (0.95b2) is that 0.95b2 depends on a new
parser, and we are not confident to use this in production.

So, we have reverted to webmacro.0.94 with a workaround of the "FastWriter
silently loosing data" problem.  However, please do not write (large) char
arrays either directly to the FastWriter, or to a MelatiFastWriter.  Writing
Strings (which is all we do in Melati) is fine.

There is now a new Melati Snapshot (0.53.2.1) for download at
http://melati.org .  0.53.3 lives as an "experimental" release, and in CVS.

Moving to a stable, bug free Webmacro is a priority, but for the time being,
please use 0.53.2.1.

cheers
