On behalf of the CherryPy team I'd like to announce the availability of CherryPy 3.0.0 beta 2. There have been some significant bug fixes and improvements since the first beta release a few weeks ago. Here are some highlights: * All CherryPy exceptions now inherit from CherryPyException * The permission bug with the error log has been corrected. * Builtin SSL support! (requires PyOpenSSL). * New cherrypy.url() function replaces tree.url and request.url. * New builtin tools for basic and digest authentication. * Encoding bug fixes. For more details on 3.0, see the following URLs: * http://www.cherrypy.org/wiki/WhatsNewIn30 * http://www.cherrypy.org/wiki/UpgradeTo30 Thanks to the CherryPy community for all of the bug reports and comments on the first beta. Please try out this latest release and let us know what you think. Christian Wyglendowski CherryPy Team
