* Approximating compatibility module for Eliom 2.1: Eliom_compatibility_2_1

* Client: Add an option to restrict usage of XHR.
* Bugfixes:
** Client: More robust and portable history handling
** Client: More robust CSS preloading (change_page)
** Client: Better compatibility with Opera
===== 2.1.0 (2012-02-24) =====
* Page loading rewriten.
** We do not traverse the HTML tree anymore for retrieving links
and putting events handlers, it use querySelectorAll instead.
(with a fallback for older browsers)
*** We do not send a sparse tree along the page anymore.
*** It is faster and more resilient to ugly browser plugins
** Add css loading optimisations: It fetch the css included
using @include with XHR before changing page and construct only
one concatenated css. It avoids page blinking when the css change
and is faster (browsers tend to render the page once per css).
** Unwrapping hand rewritten in js.
** And a lot of other optimisations.
* Rework of unique nodes:
** Introduce new lightweight 'unique' node of scope request,
a.k.a. DOM nodes: use it through HTML5.DOM.{div,...} or its alias
HTML5.{div,...}.
** To create unique node of scope application, the function
'HTML5.M.unique ?copy' has been renamed 'HTML5.create_global_elt
?id'
** Abstract id for application node are created with
"HTML.new_global_elt_id"
** Node representation now differs between the client and the
server. They are unwrapped on the client to simplify the XML
representation: "unique" node that have already a "Javascript DOM
representation" only contains a reference to the DOM
representation.
* Server API Changes:
** Add Eliom_state.get_*_session_group_size to know the number of
session in a session group
** Parameters of type any can't be suffixes (semantic problem)
** Add Eliom_comet.wait_timeout to notify when a client isn't active
** Allow services to setup "Cache-policy: max-age" with Text, CssText and
Files modules.
** Eliom_state.discard and discard_data now accept scope request.
* Client API Changes:
** add an Eliom_dom module provinding imperative function on unique HTML5.elt.
(for instance {{{appendChild: ?before:'a elt -> 'b elt -> 'c elt -> unit}}}).
** HTML5.M.a_on{click,...} functions directly expect a
function as parameter (XML.event_handler_of_function isn't
required anymore).
** Eliom_comet: configuration option for time until timeout after the focus is lost
** Handling wrapping of int32 type.
** Onload event handlers on HTML elements are executed when they are converted to
DOM (using Eliom_client.of_ functions). This allows them to be added to nodes not
sent in the page.
** Calls to {{{Eliom_services.onload}}} are taken into account for services sending
caml values. The handlers are executed when the call to
{{{Eliom_client.caml_call_service}}} terminates.
* Eliom syntax:
** Event handlers can now access the current event using the _ev variable
inside {{ ... }} typed according to the attribute.
** Allow modules to be used inside client expr {{ ... }} and client_expr
{{ ... }} to be used inside modules
** Add -ppopt option to eliomc
* And a lot of bugfixes.

outside of service handler.

other than window.

** Client: do not execute change_page_uri when the middle button or
any modifier key is pressed.

(all recent version we tested), Safari 5, Opera (tested 11.51), Internet
explorer (9, ie 8 almost work)

url calculation is now done for each request
** the function {{{Eliom_client.caml_call_service}}} was broken with some kind
of services
** application cookies are now always sent
** fix incorrect sharing of type variables in the syntax extension (thanks to
William Le Ferrand)
** 404 and 403 errors are not dropped by applications anymore (This fix is
partial: when the page content is application content, this still does not
work when an exception handler returns something else)
** Fix problems with url generation for non-attached coservices inside an
application
** tail recursive marshalling and demarshalling: no more limit on the depth of
data sent along the page

and ocsigenmod.cma from the configuration file. The syntax of
config file for modules and staticdir also changed.

* {{{static_dir}}} is now a function
* Most of global references have been removed. You now need to give
sp as parameter to {{{register_for_session}}}, {{{static_dir}}},
{{{close_session}}}, etc.
* Links and forms now take {{{server_params}}} instead of
{{{current_url}}} ({{{sp}}} is shorter than {{{sp.current_url}}})
* EXPERIMENTAL: Use of preemptive threads for non cooperative
libraries ({{{detach}}} function).
* EXPERIMENTAL: The {{{Ocsigen}}} module now contains a functor
{{{Make}}} to allows the use of several ways of generating
XHTML. The default way (using {{{XHTML.M}}} or the syntax
extension) can be used by doing {{{open Ocsigen.Xhtml}}}. There is
also an untyped xhtml generation module called {{{Ocsigen.Text}}}.
* EXPERIMENTAL: extension of forms.
* Reorganisation of the code
* Bugfixes in makefiles
* Bugfix: escaping of strings in xhtml with syntax extension (thanks
to David Mentre)
===== 0.4.0 (2006-06-06) =====
* Full reimplementation of the core using Generalized Algebraic Data
Types,
* {{{_int}}}, {{{_string}}}, etc. are now called {{{int}}},
{{{string}}}, etc.
* The type {{{_http_params}}} is now called {{{server_params}}},
* Services functions now all take 3 parameters, one for server
parameters, one for GET parameters, and one for POST
parameters. Note that {{{**}}} is used to create **pairs** and not
tuples.
* The {{{a}}} and {{{post_form}}} functions now take a fix number of
parameters, correponding to GET parameters.
* //URLs// are now called //services//,
* //state URLs// are now called //auxiliary services//,
* {{{register_post_url}}} does not exist anymore. use
{{{register_service}}} instead (idem for all other
{{{register_post_*}}} functions).
* Changes for prefix URLs
* Small changes for actions
* EXPERIMENTAL: sums, bool and list types for services and forms
* small bugfixes
