1 # ChangeLog for Pod::Simple dist
2 #---------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 2009-12-17 David E. Wheeler <david@justatheory.org>
7 Removed deleted test file from MANIFEST.
9 2009-12-17 David E. Wheeler <david@justatheory.org>
12 Removed "All rights reserved" from all files.
14 Added acknowledgements to man.he.net and search.cpan.org for
15 permission to link man pages and Perl module links to their sites
16 in the output of Pod::Simple::HTML and Pod::Simple::XHTML.
18 Add "html_h_level" option to Pod::Simple::XHTML and ::HTML to allow
19 a =head1 to become an <h2> and so on. RJBS.
21 Add batch_mode_page_object_init() method to Pod::Simple::XHTML.
22 This allows it to be used by Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch.
24 Fixed a regression in Pod::Simple::XHTML where '=begin html' blocks
25 were incorrectly escaped rather than simply passed through unmolested.
28 Removed the undocumented "fullstop_space_harden" attribute, which
29 apparently was only used by Pod::Text a very long time ago.
31 2009-12-09 David E. Wheeler <david@justatheory.org>
34 Restored code to HTMLBatch that allows the TOC (index) to be created
35 in batch jobs (RT #52324 from Martin J. Evans).
37 Added resources to META.yml, including bug tracker, license, and
40 Turned man page links into links to man.he.net in Pod::Simple::HTML
41 and Pod::Simple::XHTML output. Subclass and override
42 resolve_man_page_link() to use a different URL.
44 Added the resolve_pod_page_link() and resolve_man_page_link() methods
45 to Pod::Simple::XHTML to make it easier for subclasses to change the
46 URLs created for POD and man page links.
48 Fixed the output of entities in L<> tags by Pod::Simple::XHTML.
50 Fixed the output of POD links from Pod::Simple::XHTML so that the
51 section part (/foo) is turned into a proper fragment identfier (#foo)
52 in the resulting search.cpan.org link.
54 Pod::Simple::Text now outputs URLs for links created in the
55 L<text|URL> format. For example, L<Perl|http://perl.org> is now
56 output as "Perl <http://perl.org>" rather than just as "Perl".
58 Updated perlpod.pod and perlpodspec.pod to sync up with Perl core
59 (and to be released in Perl 5.12). Changes include:
60 * Removing the prohibition against L<text|href>
61 * Deprecation of L<section> and L<"section">
62 * Legalization of "=begin formatname parameter"
64 A couple of bug fixes in Pod::Simple::HTML from Graham Barr.
66 Added the do_section() method to Pod::Simple::HTML. Graham Barr.
68 Word-smithed the "DESCRIPTION" a bit and wrote the README.
70 Synced up all module version numbers to 3.11 except for
71 Pod::Simple::HTMLLegacy, which is at 5.01 and should not have its
72 version number lowered.
74 2009-11-12 David E. Wheeler <david@justatheory.org>
77 Converted test files that had DOS endings to have Unix endings
78 (RT #50922 from Steve Hay).
80 Skip tests on VMS where the lack of filename case preservation can
81 wreak havoc (RT #51184 from Craig A. Berry).
83 Fix nested definition list format in the XHTML output
84 (RT #51187 from Lars Dɪᴇᴄᴋᴏᴡ).
86 Added some files missing from the MANIFEST (and therefore the
87 distribution) in the last two releases.
89 2009-10-27 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
92 Add support for an index (TOC) in the XHTML output from David E.
95 Add strip_verbatim_indent() from David E. Wheeler.
97 Added the "nocase" option to PullParser's get_title(),
98 get_version(), get_description(), and get_author() methods. This
99 allows one to fetch the contents of those sections regardless of
100 the case of the labels (e.g., "NAME" and "Name" and "name" are all
103 Added the search_class() accessor to Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch.
106 XHTML output now properly encodes entities in all places, not just
107 in verbatim blocks and code spans. David E. Wheeler.
109 Fixed XHTML to output definition lists when it should, rather than
110 (broken) unordered lists. David E. Wheeler.
112 Fixed XHTML so that multiparagraph list items work correctly.
115 Fixed XHTML ordered list output so that it does not include the
116 number specified in the POD in the output. This is on a par with
117 out the HTML output works. David E. Wheeler.
119 Applied URL patch from Leon Brocard for The Perl Journal archives.
121 Fixed test failures with older versions of HTML::Entities (RT #43903
122 from Salvador Tercia).
124 Changed CSS files generated by HTMLBatch to be no more than 8.3
125 characters long. (RT #40450 from Renee Baecker)
127 Added entity handling for E<sol> and E<verbar> to Pod::Simple::XHTML.
128 (RT #49615 from Chas Owens.)
130 Fixed a bug in Pod::Simple::HTML where a definition term item with
131 no corresponding definition item would be output with no closing
132 </a></dt>. (RT # 37107 from Kevin Ryde).
134 Added entity handling for numeric entities to Pod::Simple::XHTML,
135 following perlpod specification.
137 A POD tag found inside a complex POD tag (e.g., "C<<< C<foo> >>>")
138 is now properly parsed as text and entities instead of a tag
139 embedded in a tag. This is in compliance with `perldoc perlpod`
140 (RT #12239 from Michael Schwern).
142 Thanks to David E. Wheeler for applying patches, resolving bugs,
143 and generally getting ready for the release.
145 2009-07-16 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
148 Fix installdirs for Perl versions where Pod::Simple was core;
149 RT#36446 & RT#39709, thanks to Jerry Hedden.
151 Fix encoding handling for code in paragraphs; RT#45829, thanks
154 2008-06-04 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
157 Fix module dependencies, make HTML::Entities optional and require
160 2008-06-03 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
163 Fix bugs related to passing $1 to File::Spec, reported by Andrew Hamlin and
166 Applied a suggested fix from Kevin Ryde to return a successful exit
167 code when Pod::Simple::HTML is run from the command line.
169 Fix handling of complex L<URL> entries, thanks to tests supplied in RT#4896.
171 Fix incorrect handling of S<> entries made up of entirely whitespace, thanks
172 to test case from Andreas Koenig.
174 Launch Pod::Simple::XHTML, an XHTML compliant, more easily extensible
177 Add feature to parse additional text after =begin target as a block
178 title, requested by Adam Kennedy.
180 Thanks to Hans Dieter Pearcey for applying patches, resolving bugs,
181 and generally getting ready for the release.
183 2007-03-03 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
186 Standardized all test files on 8.3 naming scheme for Perl core.
188 Applied test patches from Jerry Hedden for Perl core when
189 Encode not installed.
191 Applied test patch from Ken Williams for 5.005_04 compatibility.
193 Applied a patch from Christopher Madsen to fix architecture
194 directory searches on Gentoo.
196 Fixed a failing search test on Debian-based distributions caused
197 by Debian stripping Pod documentation out of core modules.
198 (Three cheers to the CPAN testers and James Ponza for sending
199 enough reports that I could work out the pattern.)
201 2006-01-18 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
204 Applied test patches for Perl core integration from Steve Peters.
206 Added a 'reinit' method to Pod::Simple::BlackBox for Russ Allbery
207 so Pod::Man can provide backward compatibility to existing users
208 (such as Module::Build and ExtUtils::MakeMaker).
210 Applied patch for extracting case-preserved package names on VMS
213 2005-11-21 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
216 Applied whitespace patches for Pod::Man and Pod::Text from
219 Applied validation patches to Pod::Simple::HTML from Graham Barr.
221 2004-05-24 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
224 Just fixing some typos in the CSS generated by Pod::Simple:HTMLBatch.
227 2004-05-24 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
230 No big changes to the main modules, but there's many changes to
231 the important Pod::Simple::HTML module.
234 Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch
235 Pod::Simple::HTMLLegacy
236 Pod::Simple::Progress
238 and tests for these (well, most).
240 Some prettying up of the Makefile.PL.
242 The test 00about.t is a bit more careful and verbose now.
244 The docs are still incomplete, esp. for Pod::Simple::HTML and
245 Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch, which I hope to improve quite soon.
249 2004-05-07 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
252 Allison Randal brilliantly refactors a huge monolithic sub in
253 Blackbox.pm. Code is now actually sanely readable!
255 I add the new option-attributes fullstop_space_harden and
256 codes_in_verbatim, and the two methods abandon_output_string and
257 abandon_output_fh. Not yet documented.
259 New test fullstop_spaces.t and new corpus document
260 greek_iso_8859_7.pod.
262 Another version should be forthcoming in a few days that has the
263 new Pod::Simple::HTML stuff in it.
265 Note to self: document =extend and =encoding in perlpodspec ASAP!
268 2003-11-04 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
269 * Release 2.05 -- bugfix version
271 In an attempt to stop Perl 5.6 versions from going completely
272 crazy, I've tried to basically turn off all Unicode/utf8 support
273 under 5.6. Under 5.8 and above, Unicode should work fine, and
274 under 5.6, all Unicode characters should be replaced with a little
275 "can't render" symbol, either a "¤" or a "?".
276 Many many thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi for helping out.
278 (Works under 5.005 now too?)
280 2003-10-10 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
281 * Release 2.04 -- minor bugfix version
283 * Added some code to insulate Pod::Simple to runtime changes in
284 the value of $/. Thanks to Iain Truskett for catching this.
285 * Added FILENO method to TiedOutFH.pm, to work quietly under some
286 perls. Thanks to Jochen Stenzel for catching this.
287 * Fixed some tests that erroneously failed under some 5.6's
288 because of chdir()s in *.t files messing up @INC Thanks to many
289 who caught this, including Rocco Caputo.
291 2003-09-07 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
292 * Release 2.03 -- minor upgrade
293 * A =head[1234] command now closes any currently open =over, and
295 * Fixing a few obscure bugs, including one to do with the
297 * Added some tests for those bugs.
299 2003-09-02 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
300 * Release 2.02 -- fixing a testing bug
301 * Autrijus Tang found a silly bug of mine in corpustest.t's
302 testing of corpus/t/nonesuch.txt. Fixed,
303 * I add encoding_nonesuch.t to test corpus/t/nonesuch.txt better.
306 2003-09-01 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
308 * Moved all version numbers up to 2.01 for reasons of Tibetan
311 * Implemented =encoding. Thanks a million to Jarkko, Autrijus,
312 Dan Kogai, and many others for their help, patience, and
315 It's not yet documented, but see ./t/corpus/*.txt for examples at
318 * Added 'use utf8' to all the modules. Byebye perl-5.005
319 compatibility, hello decent perl-5.6 compatibility.
321 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
323 2003-09-01 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
325 * At Michael Schwern's suggestion, a list that begins with a
326 "=item [number]" line where number isn't a 1, is no longer
327 treated as an error, but instead is silently coerced into being a
328 text-item list, just as if it were "=item wubble" or whatever.
330 2003-08-12 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
332 * Loooking goooooood. Not smelling so much like beta anymore!
333 * I think this might be the last version before I go
334 putting "use utf8" all over the place.
336 * Added placefolders for "=encoding" support. If you use
337 "=encoding", you'll get an error about "not yet implemented"
338 instead of "unknown directive".
340 * Rewrote Pod::Simple::Pullparser's get_title, and added
341 get_version, get_author, and get_description. Documented them.
342 Thanks to Graham Barr for contributing an initial get_title and
343 then being patient while I seemed to do nothing with it for months
348 Otherwise just minor changes since last version:
349 * Fixed error in Pod::Simple::RTF.
350 * Added new but undocumented methods to Pod::Simple:
351 unaccept_directive(s) unaccept_target(s) unaccept_code(s)
352 * Corrected '=back without =open' error to '=back without =over'
353 * A little tweaking to the _verbatim_format code.
354 * Dump routines may use \x{NN} instead of \xNN format.
355 * Pod::Simple::HTML now uses VerbatimFormatted
356 * A few changes ot DEBUG messages -- nothing you'd normally see.
358 2002-11-19 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
360 * Still kinda sorta beta.
362 * Much much more docs in this version. Only a few feature
365 * Added any_errata_seen to Pod::Simple. Should've been in there
367 * Fixed some errors in the experimental VerbatimFormatted code.
368 * Added is_tagname / is_tag to Pod::Simple::PullParserStartToken
369 and Pod::Simple::PullParserEndToken
370 * Added RTFDEFLANG stuff to Pod::Simple::RTF.
372 2002-11-10 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>

395 added ->tag as an alias for ->tagname.
396 * Pod::Simple and Pod::Simple::BlackBox -- added tolerance for
397 "=item * Foo" as a variant syntax for "=item *\n\nFoo". Tests
398 added/changed accordingly.
399 * Pod::Simple::HTML -- added <a name="..."> stuff, and a hack at
400 doing something with X<...>'s.
403 2002-09-29 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
405 * Beta release. Much documentation still to write, many features
406 still to add. The APIs might change in future versions.
408 * Pod::Simple -- added errors_seen attribute
409 * Pod::Simple::HTML -- added support for =for HTML ... directives,
410 and =extend directives.
