The full version of Paloose now contains the log4php folder that I use. It may not be the latest version so if you require that then replace it with the latest log4php download.

New Version (1.5.2b5) to correct a bug in the compact version which caused an error message with non-existent logging variable.

I have updated the HelloWorld example to bring it in line with the latest versions of Paloose. I had completely ignored this when updating Paloose — sorry for any problems in getting Paloose to work, mea culpa.

New Version (1.5.2b4) to correct a couple of bugs, improve logging and sort Mac OS-X Lion compatibility. Plugins updated also.

New Version (1.5.2) to add cookie support

New Version to remove spurious logging output in SourceWritingTransformer

Cured bug that stopped request parameters being recognised

New version to redefine the way Paloose is called. It now uses a class wrapper to further isolate Paloose from calling systems such as WordPress and Joomla!. It also supports multiple calls from a single template page within the calling system. Note that this requires a change to the invoking program. Older version designed to work on 1.4.0 and earlier will not work with 1.5.0 and later. See here for more details. A Joomla! plugin has also been added — see the appropriate plugin page for more details. Please note that the plugins are very much work-in-progress and could change (though not by much). I present them for download on a caveat emptor basis. Please be patient if there are problems and let me know as soon as you can.

I have adapted Paloose to support client/server working. This enables Paloose to work as a WordPress plugin (for example) so that Paloose based sites feed XML data based into a WordPress page. This is very much work in progress but I have decided to make early versions available so that people can experiment (at their own risk obviously). Any comments will be very welcome. I am also continuing to refine the Paloose documentation on the Web site, so please be patient. Note that if you are updating from previous version os Paloose you will have to update the Paloose configuration file (paloose.php) as the constant definitions have changed name and another has been added. See the configuration details.

After many months of other activities I decided it was time that I redid the Paloose web site. It is not 100% finished (there are some residual problems with the drop-down menus on Safari), but I hope that it is almost there. The paper documentation is still the old version until I can update that. Any problems then please contact me on hsfr@hsfr.org.uk. Some parts of the old site were not working and my apologies for that; I thought it better to update everything rather than just sort the odd things on the old site. I have also taken the opportunity to correct spelling mistakes and problems in the coding examples.

TidyGenerator no longer supported as I have found it is too unstable. I may revisit this decision later when I have the time. However I have not removed it from the distribution, just the documentation.

New version to cure browser recognition bug in Opera.

New version which adds "Generated" meta data in HTML head with version number.

I have added a fuller example of using the SQL transformer together with the authorisation manager. I hope it helps with some of the questions that I have been asked recently. Thanks to all those who pointed out some errors in this area — especially in the area of Unicode character handling.

New version which improves Unicode/UTF-8 handling. Cured numerous other bugs and improved SQL functionality, and improved Gallery to allow richer text descriptions. There is also a small but important attribute change in sql:query.

The compact version of Paloose is now avaliable on the downloads page.

I have added some information on how to use SQL data to set up a selector list in PForms. I have also corrected some mistakes in the flow script examples. Sorry to all those who were confused by this, mea culpa.
