Reforms:
Dynamic blueprint reloading:
When reloading apm packages, watched files, etc. the NaviServer -blueprint is now updated correctly. This solves the long-standing -problem that changes for scheduled procedures required a restart of -the server. Furthermore, the old-style reloading was based on a -ever-growing list of reload operations each time a new reload was -requested, causing slow-downs in long running server instances, -especially, when new threads are started.
Now changes are applied to all NaviServer threads, including -threads for schedules procedures, ns_jobs and the like. Note that -the current job has to be finished before the changes can be -applied.
For the transition, it is possible to switch between the -classical reloading style and blueprint reloading by changing a -variable in acs-tcl/tcl/apm-procs.tcl
