# ChangeLog for Pod::Simple dist # Time-stamp: "2005-11-21 12:33:54 PST" #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005-11-21 Allison Randal * Release 3.03 Applied whitespace patches for Pod::Man and Pod::Text from Russ Allbery. Applied validation patches to Pod::Simple::HTML from Graham Barr. 2004-05-24 Sean M. Burke * Release 3.02 Just fixing some typos in the CSS generated by Pod::Simple:HTMLBatch. 2004-05-24 Sean M. Burke * Release 3.01 No big changes to the main modules, but there's many changes to the important Pod::Simple::HTML module. Also, new modules: Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch Pod::Simple::HTMLLegacy Pod::Simple::Progress Pod::Simple::Search and tests for these (well, most). Some prettying up of the Makefile.PL. The test 00about.t is a bit more careful and verbose now. The docs are still incomplete, esp. for Pod::Simple::HTML and Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch, which I hope to improve quite soon. 2004-05-07 Sean M. Burke * Release 2.06 Allison Randal brilliantly refactors a huge monolithic sub in Blackbox.pm. Code is now actually sanely readable! I add the new option-attributes fullstop_space_harden and codes_in_verbatim, and the two methods abandon_output_string and abandon_output_fh. Not yet documented. New test fullstop_spaces.t and new corpus document greek_iso_8859_7.pod. Another version should be forthcoming in a few days that has the new Pod::Simple::HTML stuff in it. Note to self: document =extend and =encoding in perlpodspec ASAP! 2003-11-04 Sean M. Burke * Release 2.05 -- bugfix version In an attempt to stop Perl 5.6 versions from going completely crazy, I've tried to basically turn off all Unicode/utf8 support under 5.6. Under 5.8 and above, Unicode should work fine, and under 5.6, all Unicode characters should be replaced with a little "can't render" symbol, either a "¤" or a "?". Many many thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi for helping out. (Works under 5.005 now too?) 2003-10-10 Sean M. Burke * Release 2.04 -- minor bugfix version * Added some code to insulate Pod::Simple to runtime changes in the value of $/. Thanks to Iain Truskett for catching this. * Added FILENO method to TiedOutFH.pm, to work quietly under some perls. Thanks to Jochen Stenzel for catching this. * Fixed some tests that erroneously failed under some 5.6's because of chdir()s in *.t files messing up @INC Thanks to many who caught this, including Rocco Caputo. 2003-09-07 Sean M. Burke * Release 2.03 -- minor upgrade * A =head[1234] command now closes any currently open =over, and warns. * Fixing a few obscure bugs, including one to do with the Makefile. * Added some tests for those bugs. 2003-09-02 Sean M. Burke * Release 2.02 -- fixing a testing bug * Autrijus Tang found a silly bug of mine in corpustest.t's testing of corpus/t/nonesuch.txt. Fixed, * I add encoding_nonesuch.t to test corpus/t/nonesuch.txt better. 2003-09-01 Sean M. Burke * Release 2.01 * Moved all version numbers up to 2.01 for reasons of Tibetan numerology. * Implemented =encoding. Thanks a million to Jarkko, Autrijus, Dan Kogai, and many others for their help, patience, and encouragement. It's not yet documented, but see ./t/corpus/*.txt for examples at least. * Added 'use utf8' to all the modules. Byebye perl-5.005 compatibility, hello decent perl-5.6 compatibility. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2003-09-01 Sean M. Burke * Release 0.98 * At Michael Schwern's suggestion, a list that begins with a "=item [number]" line where number isn't a 1, is no longer treated as an error, but instead is silently coerced into being a text-item list, just as if it were "=item wubble" or whatever. 2003-08-12 Sean M. Burke * Release 0.97 * Loooking goooooood. Not smelling so much like beta anymore! * I think this might be the last version before I go putting "use utf8" all over the place. * Added placefolders for "=encoding" support. If you use "=encoding", you'll get an error about "not yet implemented" instead of "unknown directive". * Rewrote Pod::Simple::Pullparser's get_title, and added get_version, get_author, and get_description. Documented them. Thanks to Graham Barr for contributing an initial get_title and then being patient while I seemed to do nothing with it for months on end! * More tests. Otherwise just minor changes since last version: * Fixed error in Pod::Simple::RTF. * Added new but undocumented methods to Pod::Simple: unaccept_directive(s) unaccept_target(s) unaccept_code(s) * Corrected '=back without =open' error to '=back without =over' * A little tweaking to the _verbatim_format code. * Dump routines may use \x{NN} instead of \xNN format. * Pod::Simple::HTML now uses VerbatimFormatted * A few changes ot DEBUG messages -- nothing you'd normally see. 2002-11-19 Sean M. Burke * Release 0.96 * Still kinda sorta beta. * Much much more docs in this version. Only a few feature changes: * Added any_errata_seen to Pod::Simple. Should've been in there ages ago. Oops! * Fixed some errors in the experimental VerbatimFormatted code. * Added is_tagname / is_tag to Pod::Simple::PullParserStartToken and Pod::Simple::PullParserEndToken * Added RTFDEFLANG stuff to Pod::Simple::RTF. 2002-11-10 Sean M. Burke * Release 0.95 * Beta release. Much documentation still to write, many features still to add. The APIs might change in future versions. * Now including perlpod and perlpodspec in the dist. * Pod::Simple -- added parse_from_file * Pod::Simple::RTF -- minor style changes, and minor change to the RTF-wrapping logic. * Pod::Simple::BlackBox -- a =cut opening a block is no longer a fatal(ish) error. * Pod::Simple::BlackBox -- added experimental new VerbatimFormatted stuff. 2002-10-16 Sean M. Burke * Release 0.94 * Beta release. Much documentation still to write, many features still to add. The APIs might change in future versions. * Pod::Simple::RTF -- minor style tweaks * Pod::Simple::PullParserEndToken and ::PullParserStartToken -- added ->tag as an alias for ->tagname. * Pod::Simple and Pod::Simple::BlackBox -- added tolerance for "=item * Foo" as a variant syntax for "=item *\n\nFoo". Tests added/changed accordingly. * Pod::Simple::HTML -- added stuff, and a hack at doing something with X<...>'s. 2002-09-29 Sean M. Burke * Release 0.93 * Beta release. Much documentation still to write, many features still to add. The APIs might change in future versions. * Pod::Simple -- added errors_seen attribute * Pod::Simple::HTML -- added support for =for HTML ... directives, and =extend directives. * Oh, and I added Pod::Simple::RTF in 0.92 but forgot to note it until now. 2002-09-29 Sean M. Burke * Release 0.92 * Beta release. Much documentation still to write, many features still to add. The APIs might change in future versions. * Fixing bungled distribution. 2002-09-29 Sean M. Burke * Release 0.91 * Beta release. Much documentation still to write, many features still to add. The APIs might change in future versions. * Pod::Simple::PullParserTextToken -- added 'text_r' * Pod::Simple::PullParser -- added 'get_title' and 'get_title_short' to * Pod::Simple -- corrected wording of "Format for second =extend parameter" error message. * Pod::PullParser -- made its filter() run as intended, like Pod::Simple's filter. * Pod::Subclassing -- more docs 2002-09-11 Sean M.
