This release fixes a small encoding bug with the "string" data type, and adds flexibility to fault reporting in user-level code. A fix has been implemented for intermittent IOCTL problems in file-reads for some systems.
This release adds some minor code cleanup to avoid Perl warnings. The
data classes can now deal with blessed references, which are treated as
though they were ordinary references. An extra feature has been added to
the system.status method in the provided introspection API.
Several test-suite issues were corrected. All messages (requests and responses) now include encoding attributes in the XML preamble, as do the XPL file generated by make_method. The package now requires a libwww-perl package version 5.801 or newer.
This version includes several major bugfixes, including one in the general RPC::XML::Server class, and one in the Apache::RPC::Server class pertaining to loading server settings in Location blocks. It also includes some minor fixes, and documentation cleanup.
