4 2008-06-04 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
7 Fix module dependencies, make HTML::Entities optional and require
10 2008-06-03 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
13 Fix bugs related to passing $1 to File::Spec, reported by Andrew Hamlin and
16 Applied a suggested fix from Kevin Ryde to return a successful exit
17 code when Pod::Simple::HTML is run from the command line.
19 Fix handling of complex L<URL> entries, thanks to tests supplied in RT#4896.
21 Fix incorrect handling of S<> entries made up of entirely whitespace, thanks
22 to test case from Andreas Koenig.
24 Launch Pod::Simple::XHTML, an XHTML compliant, more easily extensible
27 Add feature to parse additional text after =begin target as a block
28 title, requested by Adam Kennedy.
30 Thanks to Hans Dieter Pearcey for applying patches, resolving bugs,
31 and generally getting ready for the release.
33 2007-03-03 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
36 Standardized all test files on 8.3 naming scheme for Perl core.
38 Applied test patches from Jerry Hedden for Perl core when
41 Applied test patch from Ken Williams for 5.005_04 compatibility.
43 Applied a patch from Christopher Madsen to fix architecture
44 directory searches on Gentoo.
46 Fixed a failing search test on Debian-based distributions caused
47 by Debian stripping Pod documentation out of core modules.
48 (Three cheers to the CPAN testers and James Ponza for sending
49 enough reports that I could work out the pattern.)
51 2006-01-18 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
54 Applied test patches for Perl core integration from Steve Peters.
56 Added a 'reinit' method to Pod::Simple::BlackBox for Russ Allbery
57 so Pod::Man can provide backward compatibility to existing users
58 (such as Module::Build and ExtUtils::MakeMaker).
60 Applied patch for extracting case-preserved package names on VMS
63 2005-11-21 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
66 Applied whitespace patches for Pod::Man and Pod::Text from
69 Applied validation patches to Pod::Simple::HTML from Graham Barr.
71 2004-05-24 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
74 Just fixing some typos in the CSS generated by Pod::Simple:HTMLBatch.
77 2004-05-24 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
80 No big changes to the main modules, but there's many changes to
81 the important Pod::Simple::HTML module.
84 Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch
85 Pod::Simple::HTMLLegacy
88 and tests for these (well, most).
90 Some prettying up of the Makefile.PL.
92 The test 00about.t is a bit more careful and verbose now.
94 The docs are still incomplete, esp. for Pod::Simple::HTML and
95 Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch, which I hope to improve quite soon.
99 2004-05-07 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
102 Allison Randal brilliantly refactors a huge monolithic sub in
103 Blackbox.pm. Code is now actually sanely readable!
105 I add the new option-attributes fullstop_space_harden and
106 codes_in_verbatim, and the two methods abandon_output_string and
107 abandon_output_fh. Not yet documented.
109 New test fullstop_spaces.t and new corpus document
110 greek_iso_8859_7.pod.
112 Another version should be forthcoming in a few days that has the
113 new Pod::Simple::HTML stuff in it.
115 Note to self: document =extend and =encoding in perlpodspec ASAP!
118 2003-11-04 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
119 * Release 2.05 -- bugfix version
121 In an attempt to stop Perl 5.6 versions from going completely
122 crazy, I've tried to basically turn off all Unicode/utf8 support
123 under 5.6. Under 5.8 and above, Unicode should work fine, and
124 under 5.6, all Unicode characters should be replaced with a little
125 "can't render" symbol, either a "ยค" or a "?".
126 Many many thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi for helping out.
128 (Works under 5.005 now too?)
130 2003-10-10 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
131 * Release 2.04 -- minor bugfix version
133 * Added some code to insulate Pod::Simple to runtime changes in
134 the value of $/. Thanks to Iain Truskett for catching this.
135 * Added FILENO method to TiedOutFH.pm, to work quietly under some
136 perls. Thanks to Jochen Stenzel for catching this.
137 * Fixed some tests that erroneously failed under some 5.6's
138 because of chdir()s in *.t files messing up @INC Thanks to many
139 who caught this, including Rocco Caputo.
141 2003-09-07 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
142 * Release 2.03 -- minor upgrade
143 * A =head[1234] command now closes any currently open =over, and
145 * Fixing a few obscure bugs, including one to do with the
147 * Added some tests for those bugs.
149 2003-09-02 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
150 * Release 2.02 -- fixing a testing bug
151 * Autrijus Tang found a silly bug of mine in corpustest.t's
152 testing of corpus/t/nonesuch.txt. Fixed,
153 * I add encoding_nonesuch.t to test corpus/t/nonesuch.txt better.
156 2003-09-01 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
158 * Moved all version numbers up to 2.01 for reasons of Tibetan
161 * Implemented =encoding. Thanks a million to Jarkko, Autrijus,
162 Dan Kogai, and many others for their help, patience, and
165 It's not yet documented, but see ./t/corpus/*.txt for examples at
168 * Added 'use utf8' to all the modules. Byebye perl-5.005
169 compatibility, hello decent perl-5.6 compatibility.

173 2003-09-01 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
175 * At Michael Schwern's suggestion, a list that begins with a
176 "=item [number]" line where number isn't a 1, is no longer
177 treated as an error, but instead is silently coerced into being a
178 text-item list, just as if it were "=item wubble" or whatever.
180 2003-08-12 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
182 * Loooking goooooood. Not smelling so much like beta anymore!
183 * I think this might be the last version before I go
184 putting "use utf8" all over the place.
186 * Added placefolders for "=encoding" support. If you use
187 "=encoding", you'll get an error about "not yet implemented"
188 instead of "unknown directive".
190 * Rewrote Pod::Simple::Pullparser's get_title, and added
191 get_version, get_author, and get_description. Documented them.
192 Thanks to Graham Barr for contributing an initial get_title and
193 then being patient while I seemed to do nothing with it for months
198 Otherwise just minor changes since last version:
199 * Fixed error in Pod::Simple::RTF.
200 * Added new but undocumented methods to Pod::Simple:
201 unaccept_directive(s) unaccept_target(s) unaccept_code(s)
202 * Corrected '=back without =open' error to '=back without =over'
203 * A little tweaking to the _verbatim_format code.
204 * Dump routines may use \x{NN} instead of \xNN format.
205 * Pod::Simple::HTML now uses VerbatimFormatted
206 * A few changes ot DEBUG messages -- nothing you'd normally see.
208 2002-11-19 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
210 * Still kinda sorta beta.
212 * Much much more docs in this version. Only a few feature
215 * Added any_errata_seen to Pod::Simple. Should've been in there
217 * Fixed some errors in the experimental VerbatimFormatted code.
218 * Added is_tagname / is_tag to Pod::Simple::PullParserStartToken
219 and Pod::Simple::PullParserEndToken

245 added ->tag as an alias for ->tagname.
246 * Pod::Simple and Pod::Simple::BlackBox -- added tolerance for
247 "=item * Foo" as a variant syntax for "=item *\n\nFoo". Tests
248 added/changed accordingly.
249 * Pod::Simple::HTML -- added <a name="..."> stuff, and a hack at
250 doing something with X<...>'s.
253 2002-09-29 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
255 * Beta release. Much documentation still to write, many features
256 still to add. The APIs might change in future versions.
258 * Pod::Simple -- added errors_seen attribute
