WebUtils 1.1 Release Notes

WebUtils version 1.1 released on 08/03/11

Minor API Changes

• To conform with Webwares naming conventions and because it now deviates pretty much from the original cgitb, renamed WebUtils.cgitb to WebUtils.CGITraceback.

Bugfixes

• The modified FieldStorage class did not work as before with Python 2.6 and newer. These Python versions already add query string parameters to the fields passed via POST, but differently to how we did this before. POST parameters used to completely override query string parameters, the values were not appended to possibly existing values in the query string. In order to stay compatible and because it seems to be more reasonable, we restored the old behavior even for newer versions of Python (thanks to Fionn Behrens for bringing this up).

Deprecations

• The methods and objects which have been marked as deprecated in version 1.0 and modules that are now available in the standard library have been removed in Webware for Python 1.1, particularly Cookie, cgitb and WebFuncs.
