19 2008-06-03 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
22 Fix bugs related to passing $1 to File::Spec, reported by Andrew Hamlin and
25 Applied a suggested fix from Kevin Ryde to return a successful exit
26 code when Pod::Simple::HTML is run from the command line.
28 Fix handling of complex L<URL> entries, thanks to tests supplied in RT#4896.
30 Fix incorrect handling of S<> entries made up of entirely whitespace, thanks
31 to test case from Andreas Koenig.

36 Add feature to parse additional text after =begin target as a block
37 title, requested by Adam Kennedy.
39 Thanks to Hans Dieter Pearcey for applying patches, resolving bugs,
40 and generally getting ready for the release.
42 2007-03-03 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
45 Standardized all test files on 8.3 naming scheme for Perl core.
47 Applied test patches from Jerry Hedden for Perl core when
50 Applied test patch from Ken Williams for 5.005_04 compatibility.
52 Applied a patch from Christopher Madsen to fix architecture
53 directory searches on Gentoo.
55 Fixed a failing search test on Debian-based distributions caused
56 by Debian stripping Pod documentation out of core modules.
57 (Three cheers to the CPAN testers and James Ponza for sending
58 enough reports that I could work out the pattern.)
60 2006-01-18 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
63 Applied test patches for Perl core integration from Steve Peters.
65 Added a 'reinit' method to Pod::Simple::BlackBox for Russ Allbery
66 so Pod::Man can provide backward compatibility to existing users
67 (such as Module::Build and ExtUtils::MakeMaker).
69 Applied patch for extracting case-preserved package names on VMS
72 2005-11-21 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
75 Applied whitespace patches for Pod::Man and Pod::Text from

80 2004-05-24 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
83 Just fixing some typos in the CSS generated by Pod::Simple:HTMLBatch.
86 2004-05-24 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
89 No big changes to the main modules, but there's many changes to
90 the important Pod::Simple::HTML module.
93 Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch
94 Pod::Simple::HTMLLegacy
97 and tests for these (well, most).
99 Some prettying up of the Makefile.PL.
101 The test 00about.t is a bit more careful and verbose now.
103 The docs are still incomplete, esp. for Pod::Simple::HTML and
104 Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch, which I hope to improve quite soon.
108 2004-05-07 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
111 Allison Randal brilliantly refactors a huge monolithic sub in
112 Blackbox.pm. Code is now actually sanely readable!
114 I add the new option-attributes fullstop_space_harden and
115 codes_in_verbatim, and the two methods abandon_output_string and
116 abandon_output_fh. Not yet documented.
118 New test fullstop_spaces.t and new corpus document
119 greek_iso_8859_7.pod.
121 Another version should be forthcoming in a few days that has the
122 new Pod::Simple::HTML stuff in it.
124 Note to self: document =extend and =encoding in perlpodspec ASAP!
127 2003-11-04 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
128 * Release 2.05 -- bugfix version
130 In an attempt to stop Perl 5.6 versions from going completely
131 crazy, I've tried to basically turn off all Unicode/utf8 support
132 under 5.6. Under 5.8 and above, Unicode should work fine, and
133 under 5.6, all Unicode characters should be replaced with a little
134 "can't render" symbol, either a "ยค" or a "?".
135 Many many thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi for helping out.
137 (Works under 5.005 now too?)
139 2003-10-10 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
140 * Release 2.04 -- minor bugfix version
142 * Added some code to insulate Pod::Simple to runtime changes in
143 the value of $/. Thanks to Iain Truskett for catching this.
144 * Added FILENO method to TiedOutFH.pm, to work quietly under some
145 perls. Thanks to Jochen Stenzel for catching this.
146 * Fixed some tests that erroneously failed under some 5.6's
147 because of chdir()s in *.t files messing up @INC Thanks to many
148 who caught this, including Rocco Caputo.
150 2003-09-07 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
151 * Release 2.03 -- minor upgrade
152 * A =head[1234] command now closes any currently open =over, and
154 * Fixing a few obscure bugs, including one to do with the
156 * Added some tests for those bugs.
158 2003-09-02 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
159 * Release 2.02 -- fixing a testing bug
160 * Autrijus Tang found a silly bug of mine in corpustest.t's
161 testing of corpus/t/nonesuch.txt. Fixed,
162 * I add encoding_nonesuch.t to test corpus/t/nonesuch.txt better.
165 2003-09-01 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
167 * Moved all version numbers up to 2.01 for reasons of Tibetan
170 * Implemented =encoding. Thanks a million to Jarkko, Autrijus,
171 Dan Kogai, and many others for their help, patience, and
174 It's not yet documented, but see ./t/corpus/*.txt for examples at
177 * Added 'use utf8' to all the modules. Byebye perl-5.005
178 compatibility, hello decent perl-5.6 compatibility.

182 2003-09-01 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
184 * At Michael Schwern's suggestion, a list that begins with a
185 "=item [number]" line where number isn't a 1, is no longer
186 treated as an error, but instead is silently coerced into being a
187 text-item list, just as if it were "=item wubble" or whatever.
189 2003-08-12 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
191 * Loooking goooooood. Not smelling so much like beta anymore!
192 * I think this might be the last version before I go
193 putting "use utf8" all over the place.
195 * Added placefolders for "=encoding" support. If you use
196 "=encoding", you'll get an error about "not yet implemented"
197 instead of "unknown directive".
199 * Rewrote Pod::Simple::Pullparser's get_title, and added
200 get_version, get_author, and get_description. Documented them.
201 Thanks to Graham Barr for contributing an initial get_title and
202 then being patient while I seemed to do nothing with it for months
207 Otherwise just minor changes since last version:
208 * Fixed error in Pod::Simple::RTF.
209 * Added new but undocumented methods to Pod::Simple:
210 unaccept_directive(s) unaccept_target(s) unaccept_code(s)
211 * Corrected '=back without =open' error to '=back without =over'
212 * A little tweaking to the _verbatim_format code.
213 * Dump routines may use \x{NN} instead of \xNN format.
214 * Pod::Simple::HTML now uses VerbatimFormatted
215 * A few changes ot DEBUG messages -- nothing you'd normally see.
217 2002-11-19 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
219 * Still kinda sorta beta.
221 * Much much more docs in this version. Only a few feature
224 * Added any_errata_seen to Pod::Simple. Should've been in there
226 * Fixed some errors in the experimental VerbatimFormatted code.
227 * Added is_tagname / is_tag to Pod::Simple::PullParserStartToken
228 and Pod::Simple::PullParserEndToken
229 * Added RTFDEFLANG stuff to Pod::Simple::RTF.
231 2002-11-10 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>

234 still to add. The APIs might change in future versions.

238 * Pod::Simple -- added parse_from_file
239 * Pod::Simple::RTF -- minor style changes, and minor change to the

244 VerbatimFormatted stuff.

253 * Pod::Simple::PullParserEndToken and ::PullParserStartToken --
254 added ->tag as an alias for ->tagname.
255 * Pod::Simple and Pod::Simple::BlackBox -- added tolerance for
256 "=item * Foo" as a variant syntax for "=item *\n\nFoo". Tests
257 added/changed accordingly.
258 * Pod::Simple::HTML -- added <a name="..."> stuff, and a hack at
259 doing something with X<...>'s.
262 2002-09-29 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
264 * Beta release. Much documentation still to write, many features
265 still to add. The APIs might change in future versions.
267 * Pod::Simple -- added errors_seen attribute
268 * Pod::Simple::HTML -- added support for =for HTML ... directives,
269 and =extend directives.
