mod-xslt / News: Recent posts

Thanks to Philipp Dunkel, the original mod-xslt project (http://www.mod-xslt.com) and mod-xslt2 (http://www.mod-xslt2.com) have joined the efforts and are now the same project...

A new mod-xslt snapshot is now available! It solves a few compilation issues on some architectures and solves some minor bugs. It will soon become mod-xslt 1.3.9, so, be sure to test it out before it becomes an official release!

This release of mod-xslt fixes many configure and make portability bugs while introducing a couple new parameters that should ease the task of setting it up and of associating stylesheets to the corresponding xml documents. With this release a major cleanup of the code that should bring in a couple months version 1.4.0 has started, with many new features under construction. If you want to join the project, this is a good time to do so.

This new version of mod-xslt corrects some bugs in handling the Content-Encoding and Content-Lenght headers, while providing a new XSLTAddRule parameter both for the Apache 1.3.x and Apache 2.0.x SAPI. An overall cleanup of the code has started, and usage of libxml and libxslt API has been improved to better support xinclude and many other XML and XSLT functionalities.

Thanks to <giskard at autistici.org>, mod-xslt2 packages are now available in the Unstable Debian archive, just an apt-get far away from your own system. For further details, please take a look at: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/modxslt/.

mod-xslt is a server side module supporting both apache 1.3.x and apache 2.0.x and possibly others, able to parse xml data on the fly by applying .xsl stylesheets both to static and dynamic pages using libxml2 and libxslt1. After a long vacation, the project is back to work, and the sourceforge pages are now being actively mantained.

This version of mod-xslt (1.3.6) is the first public release made using sf.net since a long time.
