Revision history for Perl extension App::Info.
0.11 Sat Jun 8 05:49:40 2002
- Improved validation for the error_level parameter.
- In distribution tests, no longer testing to see that user and group
methods in HTTP::Apache return values when Apache is installed, as
sometimes folks don't have User and Group directives set in their
httpd.conf files. Grrr...
- Fixed bareword references in Makefile.PL.
0.10 Wed Jun 5 23:58:54 2002
- Added new error_level parameter to new(). This tells App::Info objects
how to handle errors on an object-by-object basis. The new base class
method error() is for subclasses to use for throwing errors, and
last_error() is for client code to access the last error in non-fatal
error modes. See App::Info for complete documentation. This is the major
change the triggered the (mild) version number jump.
- Reworked all application subclasses to use the new error() method.
- Changed all application subclasses so that they're no longer singleton
classes. Each new object construction looks for application metatdata
all over again.
- Updated documentation on subclassing to reflect changes.
- Added first_exe() and first_cat_exe() to App::Info::Util. Changed
RDBMS::PostgreSQL, HTTP::Apache, and Lib::Iconv to use them.
- Added more directories in which to search for the Apache server
executable, thanks to work by Dave Rolsky.
0.06 Wed Jun 5 15:36:36 2002
- Fixed all version tests in test scripts to check for definedness
rather than truth, so that version numbers that are "0" will be
ok. Thanks to Andy Lester for the spot.
- Util now properly loads File::Spec rather than File::Spec::Functions.
- Changed how the version number gets stored in Lib::Expat so that it
only gets saved if all three version number parts are found.
0.05 Wed Jun 5 00:01:57 2002
- Eliminated possible "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)
or string" warning from Lib::Expat.
- Eliminated possible "Use of uninitialized value in hex" warning from
Lib::Iconv.
- Fixed issue where RDBMS::PostgreSQL would try to execute pg_config
even when it didn't exist.
- Added To Do list.
- Made iconv.t and expat.t tests for version numbers safer for CPAN
distribution. Patches with improved methods of determining version
numbers for those libraries are welcome.
0.04 Tue Jun 4 01:03:58 2002
- Wrote documentation on subclassing App::Info.
- Added httpd_root() abstract method to App::Info::HTTPD abstract
base class.
- Added httpd_conf(), user(), group(), and port() methods to
App::Info::HTTPD::Apche.
- Added and corrected documentation in App::Info::HTTPD,
App::Info::RDBMS, and App::Info::Lib.
- Made minor documentation fixes to other classes.
- Fixed methods in App::Info::Util to return undef in a scalar context
if there were no regular expression matches.
