14 August 2002 - Websh 3.5 Released

Apache Tcl Project Announces Websh 3.5.0
=======================================

For immediate release:

http://tcl.apache.org/ August 2002. The Apache Software Foundation's Tcl group and Netcetera AG are proud to announce the transfer of the Websh technology to the Apache Software Foundation, and the release of version 3.5.0.

Websh is a mature, robust, and very full-featured application programming framework. Websh is versatile and handles everything from HTML generation to data-base driven one-to-one page customization. Netcetera AG has been using it for years for many of their customer projects, which typically are E-commerce shops or electronic banking applications. Websh is extensible and portable, and its comprehensive set of commands is quickly learned.

Version 3.5.0 maintains the same high standards of quality, and is primarily a refinement on the proven base which has been very successful to date. The main changes from earlier version include a production release of Websh's Apache module mod_websh, and some streamlining of the API.

The Apache Tcl group is pleased to welcome this addition to our group of Tcl products for the web. "It adds a new dimension to our current offerings" stated David Welton, Apache Tcl coordinator, "Websh has some great code that we are happy to see available as part of our project." "As heavy users of Apache software in virtually all of our customer products, we're happy to contribute our Websh framework to the Apache Tcl group" added Netcetera's Ronnie Brunner, responsible for the integration of Websh into Tcl Apache.
