— Updated Version
Updated
Redirect module which was not

28/12/2022
— Updated Version
I have changed the global variables and how the serializer properties are defined. In each of these cases the
original way of defining them was to use the tag/element as the name of the property/variable being defined. This
requires the schemas to allow any text to appear within these elements, thus requiring the use of the ANY type
elements. This is dangerous: it allows anything to appear within the elements. The cost of this generality is the
dismantling of the structure. Because any element is allowed it is impossible to formally validate the structure of the
document. See Goldfarb (The SGML Handbook): "An element type that has an ANY content specification is completely
unstructured." I think it is important that a correct syntactically (and semantically) schema is produced.
- Changed enclosed serializer elements to parameters.
- Changed enclosed global-variables elements to variables.

— Updated Documentation
A new version of the
documentation is
available based on the on-line text. It has a contents list and an index.
18/12/2020
— New Version (1.11.2)
Include Utilities class added to SCSSCompile.
12/12/2020
— New Version (1.11.1)
The facility to use SCSS/SASS style files has been added. SCSS provides for much more structured and readable
CSS style files. The current Paloose site uses this extensively.
12/7/2020
— Joomla and WordPress plugin support.
I am no longer supporting the method of using Paloose as a client to the WordPress and Joomla systems. If you
still want a pipelined approach to using XML within your site use at your discretion. I do not accept any
responsibility for any problems. If all you require is a single XSL conversion, then write a small scrap of PHP within
your CMS code to translate the XML. I have done this successfully on a WordPress site.
23/11/2020
— New Version (1.10.1)
Cured nasty fault in DirectoryTransformer that stopped recursion of
directories.
11/7/2020
— New Version (1.10.0)
Changed sizeof() function calls to use empty() and count(). Also some minor cosmetics.
15/03/2017
— New Version (1.9.1)

directory in DirectoryGenerator.
30/11/2015

29/11/2015
— AntWeave Links
I have developed a Java/XSL based literate programming task for Ant using NoWeb format source file. Feel free
to download from the
AntWeave
site.
29/11/2015
— New Version (1.7.0)
Changes throughout to ensure code is compliant with PHP STRICT.
12/09/2015
— BitBucket Repository
I am now hosting Paloose as a
repository on
BitBucket. If you want developers access to this repository then please Email me (
hsfr@hsfr.org.uk). This is a source distribution so if you want a
built (binary equivalent) version please download the latest from this site, current version (
1.6.0).
04/09/2015
— New Version (1.6.0)
There are major changes (
1.6.0) to the build system
before using BitBucket (should only effect developers). Also updated to use new log4php version, since log4php does not
allow named namespaces, only the default in the configuration file. Some minor cosmetic updates.
03/09/2015
— Removing SourceForge support
I will shortly be removing the SourceForge hosting Paloose and replacing it with a Git repository on BitBucket.
I will make it easier to ensure that the latest version is available. Not sure when I will do this but please do not
use the SourceForge download (it is not the latest anyway).
26/05/2015
— New Version (1.5.5)
New Version (
1.5.5) to correct several problems,
including update of PHP to 5.5.
04/03/2015
— Updated site
General update to cure some broken links.
31/05/2012
— Updates to full version
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.
26/05/2012
— New Version (1.5.2b5)
New Version (
1.5.2b5) to correct a bug in the compact
version which caused an error message with non-existent logging variable.
24/05/2012
— Simple HelloWorld site updates
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.
10/02/2012
— New Version (1.5.2b4)
New Version (
1.5.2b4) to correct a couple of bugs,
improve logging and sort Mac OS-X Lion compatibility. Plugins updated also.
08/08/2011

— New Version (1.5.0b3)
New Version to remove spurious logging output in SourceWritingTransformer
22/01/2011
— New Version (1.5.0b2)
Cured bug that stopped request parameters being recognised
15/01/2011
— New Version (1.5.0b1)
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.
23/12/2010
— New Version (1.4.0b4)
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.
11/10/2010
— New Web Site
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.
15/09/2010
— TidyGenerator Support
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.
06/09/2010
— New version (1.3.6b1)
New version to cure browser recognition bug in
Opera.
02/08/2010
— New version (1.3.6)
New version which adds "Generated" meta data in HTML
head with version number.
19/01/2010
— Added SQL worked example
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.
12/01/2010
— New version (1.3.5b5)
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.
09/12/2009
— Compact version
The compact version of Paloose is now avaliable on the
downloads
page.
07/12/2009
— Documentation additions
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.
01/12/2009
— New Version (1.3.4b4)

Also sorted out some missed documentation issues in the flow examples.
