NB: This tarball contains ucw, arnesi and yaclml. You'll need to
install a recent CVS version of SLIME, portableaserve 1.2.35 and
iterate (mod_lisp is included in the libs/ directory).

- Allow component threads and manipulation of component places.

** YACLML/TAL

- Improved form handling.

- All TAL extensions are accessable as yaclml macros.

- <ucw:option tags contain real lisp objects as values.

- Convience tags (and yaclml macros) for form handling.

- Improved TAL environment manipulation.

** mod_lisp

- Upgrade "official" mod_lisp to 2.38

** aserve

- Improved URL handling.

* Documentation

- Most public functions, methods, macros and classes now have doc
  strings.

- UCW document application provides a 30% complete manual.

* Portability

- Tested regularly on CMUCL, SBCL and OpenMCL with mod_lisp
  backend. Tested occasianly on OpenMCL with portableaserve backend.

* Note

I kept holding off UCW 0.3 until i'd written the docs. I kept holding
off that until i'd written a concordia like document system. This
release could have been made quite a while ago had i been more
realistic.

Now I'm going to try and put as much information in doc strings
(except high level over view stuff) as possible and hope the developer
has a recent enough SLIME which makes this information easily
accessable.

happy hacking.
