2.75 2012-05-25
* Add "=encoding utf8" to the POD of lib/Config/IniFiles.pm

from Debian for reporting this issue.
2.72 2012-05-5
* More refactoring.
* Now requiring Fcntl (which is a core module) for SEEK_SET() and SEEK_CUR().
* Update the contact information on the POD.
* Maintainer’s special birthday (5-May) release.
2.71 2012-05-2
* SECURITY BUG FIX: Config::IniFiles used to write to a temporary filename
with a predictable name ("${filename}-new") which opens the door for potential
exploits.
* Now requiring List::MoreUtils (for any() and other functions), File::Temp
and File::Basename .
* Add "use warnings;" to lib/Config/IniFiles.pm .
* More refactoring.
2.70 2012-04-6
* Fix the test dependency (in the new t/31comments_with_spaces.t test)
on IO::stringy (now writing it to a file).
- This caused some CPAN Testers failures such as:
- http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/c16b9978-7f40-11e1-9d6f-f6dbfa7543f5
* Modernized some of the open() calls in the test files.
- three args open, lexcial file handles, etc.
2.69 2012-04-5
* Fix https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3388382&group_id=6926&atid=106926
- "Trailing comments with whitespace are not recognised"
- Thanks to briconaut for the report and to rbowen for the patch and test.
* Add the method ->OutputConfigToFileHandle which is a more explicit and
safer version of ->OutputConfig.
- ->OutputConfig now uses it.
- all existing tests pass, and a new test was added to
t/15store-and-retrieve-here-doc-terminator.t .
* Started refactoring the code.
- Expand tabs to spaces.
- many other small changes.
2.68 2011-06-21
* Typo correction: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69003
2.67 2011-06-21
* Made sure that parameters with empty values will be written to the file.

2.66 2011-01-29
* Add support for the handle_trailing_comment option to support trailing
comments at the end of a param=value line.
- Fixes https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=43843 .
- Original patch by Peter Xu.
- Some comments and corrections of the patch by Shlomi Fish (the current
Config-IniFiles maintainer.)
2.65 2010-11-25
* Replaced calls to File::Temp's tempfile() with those to its tempdir()
followed by File::Spec->catfile() - hopefully fixes the CPAN smoking failures
on Win32.
2.64 2010-11-20
* Fixed https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=63177
- tag-release.pl was installed into lib/Config by EU-MM. Converted the
Makefile.PL to a wrapper around Build.PL by using Module-Build's
create_makefile_pl='small' instead of create_makefile_pl='traditional' .
2.63 2010-11-19
* Fixed https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=63079 by
refactoring/bug-fixing the main module into the _OutputParam method, which
handles the output of multi-line and single-line parameters with all the edge
cases.
- The reported problem was that EOT was encountered again in certain cases
in the output string, and now we make sure the program always avoid it. The
reappearance of the bug was caused due to duplicate code, which was now
eliminated.
2.62 2010-11-19
* Applied a modified version of Steven Haryanto's commit
ac6ace8bf09fabba4e6ea3b2826ff13cd30507bc :
- When writing config with fallback section, also omit the fallback
section header, like the original file. Also, change
t/19param-found-outside-section.t a bit to not require IO::Scalar and use
File::Temp instead (we are testing WriteConfig anyway).
- Shlomi Fish fixed unless'es to if's and converted a do { ... } if call to
a block conditional, as well as made the open statements on t/19param
more secure.
* Add -nomultiline option.
-Applied a modified version of Steven Haryanto's commit
2181f438d40b54c290a2dda5627a244c6e467a7b
2.61 2010-11-14
* Correct the opening comment on t/26scalar-filehandle.t to point to the right
bug URL and to include the title of the bug
- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=54997 - this is the right
URL.
* Correct the check in t/26scalar-filehandle.t - it should check that Perl
is above 5.8.x - not that IO::Scalar is available, because we use
open my $fh, "<", \$buffer;
2.60 2010-11-13
* Made t/19param-found-outside-section.t pass in case IO::Scalar is not
installed.
- We got many failing test reports due to that, like:
- http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/eb3df0f4-eeb7-11df-b934-9430e12b63f3
2.59 2010-11-12
* Applied a patch from "sharyanto" about enabling the -fallback parameter
to new for items outside any section.
- https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=62944
* Add the tag-release.pl file to tag a release.
2.58 2010-05-17
* Incorporated a fix for some broken POD.
- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=51617
- Thanks to Frank Wiegand for reporting it.
* Got rid of \r/carriage-returns's in lib/Config/IniFiles.pm .
- It interfered with applying a patch.
* Applied a patch to get rid of indirect object notation in the documentation
and code ("new Config::IniFiles") and replace it with Config::IniFiles->new().
- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=57536
- Thanks to Tom Molesworth for the patch.
2.57 2010-03-1
* Fixed failure to read the ini file contents from a filehandle made out of a
scalar
- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=45997
- Applied a patch by Nicolas Mendoza - thanks!
2.56 2009-12-31
* Hopefully fixed the skip() in t/07misc.t
- https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=53238
- It was skip($num, $label) instead of skip($label, $num) and it
lacked a "SKIP:" label.
2.55 2009-12-22
* Refactoring the tests:
- Converted t/05hash.t to Test::More and modernised it.
- Converted t/06oo.t to Test::More and modernised it.
- Testing: extracted t/lib/Config/IniFiles/TestPaths.pm.
- Converted t/10delta.t to Test::More and modernised it.
- Add the t_unlink method.
2.54 2009-11-18
* Adapted t/25line-endings.t to perl-5.6.x .
- http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/11/msg6026936.html
- Failure there.
- did that by replacing open ">:raw" with "binmode()".
2.53 2009-11-13
* Converted t/01basic.t to Test::More and modernised it.
* Converted t/02weird.t to Test::More and modernised it.
* Converted t/04import.t to Test::More and modernised it.
* Applied a patch from Steffen Heinrich (SHE) for:
- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=51445
- included t/25line-endings.t
- modified a little.
2.52 2009-06-28
* Added more keys to Build.PL (author, etc.)
* Added resources and keywords to META.yml.
* Converted t/00load.t to Test-More.
* No longer chdir()-ing into "t" in t/00load.t
* Got rid of the "new Config::IniFiles" syntax in the tests.
- replaced with Config::IniFiles->new().
- see "Perl Best Practices", "Programming Perl", 3rd Edition
2.51 2009-06-8
* Fixed "#46721: $config->exists() does not pay attention to -nocase => 1"
- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=46721
2.50 2009-05-31
* Fixed the POD for SetParameterEOT:
- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28375
* Added t/pod.t and t/pod-coverage.t and fixed the problems they pointed:
- Removed some trailing pod.
- http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=46549
- Documented the ->OutputConfig() method.
2.49 2009-05-2
* Fixed bug https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=45209 :
- Makefile.PL lacked the empty "PL_FILES" directive.
* Fixed bug https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=45588 :
- Failure to read ini file contents from a scalar (via "IO::Scalar").
- added t/23scalar-ref.t
2.48 2009-04-7
* Fixed bug https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30402 :
- Trailing comments at the end of the file are not written.
- added a test (t/22trailing-comment-lines.t ) and a test file.
* Reverted the fix to bug #34067 ( "Multiline values returned as array
references in tied hash interface"), as it could potentially break a lot
of old code, and was not such a good idea, and was less preferable from
interface-sanity reasons.
* Documented the old API in regards to bug #34067 - see above.
2.47 2009-01-21
* Fixed bug https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=34067 :
- Multiline values returned as array references in tied hash interface
- This was as opposed to the documentation.
- added t/21multiline-values-in-tied.t and fixed some older tests.
* Moved the eval'ed debugging code (_assert_invariants) to its own module,
without the eval so the perl-5.6.2 will be happy. Now explicitly use'ing it
from t/lib where appropriate. See for example:
- http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/01/msg3101788.html
2.46 2009-01-17
* Added regression tests for bug #1720915
- https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1720915&group_id=6926&atid=106926
- the bug seems to be fixed in trunk.
* Added a regression test for RT #36584
- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=36584
- the bug seems to be fixed in trunk.
* Added a regression test for RT #36309
- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=36309
- Testing for allowedcommentchars.
- the bug seems to be fixed in trunk.
* Converted t/03comments.t to Test::More and did other cleanups in preparation
of solving a few bugs.
* Now GetSectionComment does the documented behaviour in scalar context and
returns the string joined by newlines:
- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8612
* Now GetParameterComment returns the right thing in scalar context (joined
by newlines). It was documented and tested.
- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8612
2.45 2008-12-27
* Fixed bug #1230339:
- https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1230339&group_id=6926&atid=106926
- Can't store and retrive "\nEOT\n"
- Fixed by checking for the existence of the here-doc terminator in the
string, and if so appending more characters.
* Fixed bug #1565180
- https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1565180&group_id=6926&atid=106926
- -nocase breaks -default.
- If a default-values section is specified, then -nocase did not look it up
if it's not lowercase.
* Fixed bug #1831654
- https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1831654&group_id=6926&atid=106926
- multiline-values are tainted.
- Added a test as t/17untainted-multiline-values.t
2.44 2008-12-25
* Eliminated an assignment of $VERSION into itself to "get rid of warnings".
Only caused warnings at Build.PL, and is unnecessary now that we
"use vars".
2.43 2008-12-4
* Placed IniFiles.pm under lib/Config/IniFiles.pm.
* Added a Build.PL file for the distribution.
* Moved the ChangeLog to its own file - Changes.
* Made the README contain the useful information and nothing else - previously
it was a copy of the module's entire POD.
* Added a regression test for:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=778593&group_id=6926&atid=106926
When copying tied-hashes representing sections with multiline values as
keys, one used to get a reference instead of a copy. This was fixed in SVN
but not in CPAN.
* Added a test for opening an empty file, inspired by:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=927111&group_id=6926&atid=106926
* Added a fix for this bug:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=767913&group_id=6926&atid=106926
With a test that I wrote myself: in list context, ->val() returned the list
containing (undef()) if there was no such key. Now returning the empty
list which evaluates to false.
* Added a test for bug
"[ 2030786 ] Brackets within values are treated as section headers"
It seems to be fixed on SVN.
