Article 682 of gnu.announce:
Meta-HTML 5.02 Source Release
Version 5.02 of Universal Access Inc.'s distribution is now
available for download from:
ftp://ftp.metahtml.com/pub/source/metahtml-5.02.tgz
It should be available from prep.ai.mit.edu, and other GNU mirror
sites within the next two weeks.
------------------------------------------------------------
What is it?
is a programming language specifically designed for working
within the World Wide Web environment. Although it is a genuine
programming language, suitable for large-scale symbolic manipulation,
it provides the most commonly wanted Web functionality as built-in
primitives, so you don't have to write them. You can find out more
about the theory of implementation in this white paper
[http://www.metahtml.com/meta-html/manifesto.html].
Web pages are authored using HTML and statements freely
intermixed. When a page is requested by a browser, the page is passed
through the engine, which dynamically processes any
statements to produce a final HTML page which is delivered
to the browser.
The source distribution provides several different interpreter options:
* A CGI engine which can be run by any Unix Web server,
* A FastCGI engine which can be run under FastCGI compliant servers,
* A full-featured Web server (mhttpd) with the interpreter built in,
* A standalone processor, much like Perl or Tcl, and
* An interactive debugger, with a feel similar to GDB (mdb)
------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in 5.02 from 5.01
* FastCGI support -- tested with Apache and mod_fastcgi.c.
* Numerous bug fixes and speed enhancements, way too many
to detail here.
* Better configuration mechanism allows compilation on many
more machine/OS's than before.
* Improved documentation.
* More control over cookie manipulation, session IDs, and
document expiration.
* The ability to include binary representations of Meta-HTML
source code directly in the compiled Engine, Server,
Debugger, and Standalone Processor. See libmhtml/bootstrap.mhtml.
* Revamped tagsets make it easier now than ever before to use
statefull sessions, send E-mail, and more.
