Eleven

This release now cleans up expired activity records
automatically, supports more database and display
formatting functions, works properly with multi-byte
characters, allows all automatically-generated text to be
customized, and handles quotes, backslashes, and HTML and
SQL special characters more accurately. It also includes
several other minor features and bugfixes.

Many new language features including improved support for
accessing external databases, customizable table displays,
and improved HTML support including OBJECT and SCRIPT
tags, radio buttons, password fields, and Javascript
attributes were added. This release is also now bundled with
a Control Panel application to manage user accounts,
maintain the database, and monitor system activity.

Eleven is now available precompiled for Windows platforms (in theory
95/95/ME/NT/2000/XP, but only XP has been tested so far). Windows
developers can now create Eleven applications without having to build
Eleven from source code (no need to install gcc, bison, etc.)

Many new features were added, most notably an elegant mechanism called "livetables" that allows applications to read and write arbitrary database tables. For example, a one-line command invoking the "edit" function on a livetable can generate a complete Web-based table editor, automatically creating SQL queries on demand to select, filter, sort, and page through the table. Other new features included row variables (essentially state-safe hash tables) and dynamic enum variables for creating drop-down menus whose values and labels are automatically populated from tables.

A major bug in the new PHP code generator was fixed. Upgrading is not required if you are only using the mod_perl code generator.
