Changes for version 0.34

  • new maintainer: Barbie
  • changed to reference barbie not acme in email links
  • consumed many patches from Gabor Szabo
  • RT#15162 - fixed thanks to Gabor
  • Updated META.yml
  • added Test-CPAN-Meta to tests
  • reviewed other optional tests
  • abstracted footer template
  • added other websites to footer
  • reworked side panel for all pages, providing more presentation features
  • added Archive::Extract to unwrap the database
  • generate() no longer automatically downloads the database archive, as the current site is built from a local copy.
  • rewrote examples/generate.pl to allow remote or local database locations to be used. Also updated documentation and version.
  • added bin/cpanreps-writepages, which is really a copy of examples/generate.pl
  • added 'nopass' RSS feed (patch by Dave E Wheeler RT#33946)
  • Author RSS feeds now list at most the last 100 reports
  • added links from author page to distribution pages (RT#22072)
  • added CSS and JS for optionally selecting viewing preferences
  • added a redirect page for directories without a main index
  • now builds author and distribution pages based on the actual version of a distribution, not what BACKPAN currently lists. This was a problem where multiple authors released different versions of a distribution
  • added cpanreps-verify to verify pages contain the latest updates
  • added cpanreps-update to update named distribution and author pages
  • add functionality to Testers.pm to allow updates for named distributions and authors
  • discovered some distributions have "gone missing" from both CPAN and BACKPAN, so the archive of reports is all we have! Appropriate code changes made to ensure pages still built correctly.
  • added Perl Community AdServer links
  • consistently provided help|h and version|V options to all scripts: bin/cpanreps-update (v0.01) bin/cpanreps-verify (v0.01) bin/cpanreps-writepages (v0.02)
  • added some shortcuts to rebuilding author pages, including adding a GROUP BY so we don't try and query every report for the author.
  • better version sorting implemented, mostly for stats matrix
