SQAwk / News: Recent posts

I'm no longer working on or supporting SQAwk. There never was any demand for it anyway. :-)

See any of the forums or the mailing list for details.

SQAwk 1.1.4 has proven stable in the development environment, Darwin (Mac OS X 10.1). We need folks to test it on other platforms and report what they find so it can be moved from Beta to Production with some confidence.

Changed to read the POST form fields using getline from stdin rather than running dd externally. Reducing spawns of external programs should improve perfomance. This change seems to work fine, despite the input supposedly being null terminated. Is this dependent on Apache version?

Thanks to Jrgen Kahrs <kahrs@isenseit.de> for catching a problem with the installation instructions. Somehow the file got saved in some kind of non-text format. It's now in straight text.

Just some changes and updates to the FAQ.

A new version of SQAwk is available in the Files section. As always, it includes full source code. The main change lets the script writer have text (html, etc.) at the beginning and end of a page. In previous releases, the page had to start and end with script. To use this release and put either BEGIN or END blocks in your page, you must have a version of awk which supports multiple BEGIN and END blocks.

My apologies for posting an empty release file. It should be OK, now. Many thanks to Jrgen Kahrs <kahrs@isenseit.de> for catching it.

SQAwk is now feature complete and ready for general testing. Please report your experiences either in the developer's forum (http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=148145) or in the bug tracker(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=45210&atid=442196). Thanks for using and developing sqawk.

The first test release of the SQAwk script engine is in the files section. Use the forum or email and let me know what you think. If you have problems, do let me know through the bug tracker or email.
