NWSL / News: Recent posts

This project is now officially discontinued. We have moved over some ideas and lots of new stuff into a PHP framework called perOXide (http://www.peroxideframework.org). perOXide finally is what NWSL should have become and better. The highlights are:

* Easy, powerful object-oriented database access
* Templating and styling support
* Javascript support
* Component-based page framework (nOx)
* Skinning support for all components
* Built-in, extensible authentication and authorization mechanism
* Highly customizable, role-based permission system
* Internationalization support
* Built-In semi-dynamic caching
* All in plain PHP, no special tools required. ... read more

This project got a new name, as the old one infringed some trademark of a company named NetScript, Inc. The new project name is now NWSL - Nameless Web Scripting Language, for the lack of a better name.

The NetScript CVS contains the new NetScript version 2.1 with XSLT-support. You can now really divide content from presentation. Also you have the possibility to do client sided XSLT (e.g using Internet Explorer) in a transparent way, which will not break if the client is incapable of doing XSL transformations.

Another new feature is the DOM Abstraction Layer (DAL) incorporated into NetScript. It is now possible to use any DOM Level 2 compliant DOM-implementation together with NetScript. There is currently a binding for XML::LibXML, others will follow as the need arises. Due to the DAL NetScript is now about 35% faster using XML::LibXML instead of XML::DOM2.... read more

Hi,

I just released IPdoc 1.04, the newest version of our Perl documentation tool. The tool has received several new features (most noteable, an index of all symbols and the possibility of documenting globals). The output was tweaked a bit and a bug was fixed, which produced weird output on some circumstances. The produced documentation imitates JavaDoc in look and feel. The new IPdoc is also incredibly fast (200 classes in 5 seconds, where JavaDoc needs nearly a minute). So IPdoc has grown up, and is now a really good source code documenting solution for Perl. Get your copy now at our downloads section!... read more

Hi,

today we released IPdoc 1.03, the latest version of our Perl documenting utility. This new version does add some featuers and heavily improves the quality of the documentation output. Now the documentation looks equally to javadoc.

Get your copy now!

Hi,

today new versions of IPdoc (the insOMnia perl documenting system) and XML::DOM2 (the DOM Level 2 implementation for Perl) have been released.

IPdoc got some new features, the output is now nearly equal to the one, javadoc would generate on Java files.

XML::DOM2 now features a DOMWriter which allows the transformation of DOM into XML (or another textual representation). The DOMWriter is the counterpart of the DOMParser, which transforms XML into a DOM.... read more

The insOMnia perl documenting system IPdoc in it's initial version 1.0 has been released today. Check it out at our downloads section.

Hi,

a few minutes ago the DOM2 package for Perl version 0.1.1 alpha has been released. This contains many bugfixes and a DOM Parser which allows you to parse an XML document into a DOM Level 2 compliant structure.

Hi,

while the first release of XML::DOM2 is practically not useable, since it contains tons of bugs, a new version will be released soon, with a lot of bugs fixed. It will also contain a DOM Parser facility which allows you to parse an XML-compliant document into a DOM structure.

Hi,

i'm glad to announce, that DOM2, our DOM Level 2 compliant DOM implementation for Perl has finally been released! You can find it at our files section. Please give it a try and report bugs and errors to us.

Hi,

due to my overall lack of time, the release of DOM2 will delay. It is nearly finished (only Document and DOMImplementation need to be done) and I hope to be able to make a release this week.

Hi,

today i have issued a new release of NetScript 1. It is now stable enough to call it a "beta". There are still some bugs and limitations within it, but it should work in most cases. So get a copy and check it out!

Hi,

we have started in developing NetScript 2. After making some plans, we think it's now time to get some code. There are some base classes already in the CVS. However, we need a DOM Level 2 compliant DOM-Implementation for Perl, and since we found none, we currently develop our own. Progress about 35%. You can checkout the netscript2 module from the CVS to see our current progress. A first release of Netscript 2 is planned for early December.... read more

Hi,

some things about the future of NetScript. After having worked with NetScript a few months I have noticed several weak points in the architecture. It all has grown too big and too ugly. Some modules begin to interfere with others, so a redesign seems to be unavoidable.

I hereby annouce NetScript 2, a complete redesigned NetScript, which will be as easy to handle as the old one, but will be more extensible, flexible and reliable.... read more

The 1.02 release of NetScript is ready for download. It contains several bugfixes and some improvements.

Today I have made a release snapshot from the CVS, which can be downloaded. Please download and test it.

Jan

The CVS is now ready for checkout. I have uploaded the project sources, a readme-file and a small introduction to NetScript.
