    Version 3.14 dt:08-07-04

  • Some bugs and memory leaks fixed.
  • Removed restriction on template file extention. Now you can have any extention for files in the templates folder instead of just .html. This means that caravan code can be in any file as long as it is in the 'templates folder'. Also makes it possible to serve most requested files directly from memory. Just copy your jpgs or anything into the 'templates' folder and avoid disk access whenever they are requested. Translates to more flexibility in serving images and documents.
