0.29 (02.23.2013) - John Ingram<john@funnycow.com>
* added relative date support, so you can define one DateTime field that is
either a fixed or random duration away from another DateTime field.
* You can also make it relative to 'now' or 'today', instead of referring to another field.
0.28 (07.18.2010) - Philip Garrett <philgarr@gmail.com>
* Fixed a bug in Data::Maker that caused the return value of in_progress to
be wrong when the field object it should have returned had a false value().
0.27 (12.30.2010) - Philip Garrett <philgarr@gmail.com>
* improved efficiency of random() with large arrays
* removed obsolete formatter() method
* speed improvements for formats
* more caching
0.26 (11.08.2010) - Philip Garrett <philgarr@gmail.com>
* Fixed a bug in Data::Maker::Field where fields were being cached
globally, causing independent maker objects to clobber each other.
0.25 (05.17.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Updated `t/benchmark.pl` -- apparently Data::Maker::Field::DateTime does not work
without start and end dates anymore. Maybe I'll look into that.
* Also found that Makefile.PL had the wrong version in 0.24. Fixed that.
0.24 (05.15.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Data::Maker::Field::Number did some pretty dumb things. Much more straightforward now.
* Also changed the type of the `precision` attribute of Data::Maker::Field::Number to PositiveInt
0.23 (05.05.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Fixed a bug in Data::Maker::Field in which a formatting atom of 0 was ignored...
in fact, I think everything after a zero would also be ignored. (because returning
zero is no better than returning nothing)
* Modified Data::Maker::Field::DateTime so that the `start` and `end` parameters can be
either a year (as it was originally written) or an actual DateTime object, as I should
have written it in the first place.
* Added MooseX::Aliases as a dependency
0.22 (05.03.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Once again, I neglected to update the version number
in Makefile.PL. Added that to my checklist.
0.21 (05.02.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Removed Data::Maker::Field::Currency from this distribution and created a standalone
distribution for it.
0.20 (05.02.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Significant (and mostly-accidental) performance improvement with Field object caching
* Removed everything having to do with the "object_cache", due to the above performance
improvement. Object caching is now done using the Moose method modifier "around".
* Finally noticed that I have not updated the version field in Makefile.PL since version 0.01,
so I updated that.
* The header() method assumed that there was a `label` attribute. Now it uses `name` if
there is no `label`
* Added boolean attribute `allow_unknown` to the Gender class. If false, a random
selection between M and F will be made instead of returning a gender of U
* Updated the benchmarks in Maker.pm, due to performance improvement mentioned above
* Added benchmarking script to the distribution (t/benchmark.pl)
* Added Data::Maker::Field::Number (thanks to Adam Corum for giving me a much more efficient way to do numeric ranges)
* Added Data::Maker::Field::IP
* Added Data::Maker::Field::Password
0.19 (04.04.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Didn't change the version in the code AGAIN. Didn't follow the checklist. Duh.
0.18 (04.03.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Slightly-modified the first example in the Maker.pm POD, to match the same example in Tutorial.pod (thanks to David N. Blank-Edelman for pointing out the discrepancy)
0.17 (03.14.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Added default delimiter of "\t", so that the delimited() method will return a tab-delimited record by default
* Added more detailed documentation to Data::Maker::Field::Initials, to point out the two different
ways to use that class.
* There was already a "formatted" attribute defined for any field, which is a code reference that is to be applied to the
value after it is generated but before it is returned. But it was not being used in the code, so I fixed that.
0.16 (03.07.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Fixed an oversight in the benchmarking documentation (forgot to change the 100 to 200)
* Modified the seeding code to make sure seeding never happens more than once
* Added Data::Maker::Field::MultiSet
* Added Data::Maker::Field::Initials
0.15 (03.07.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* This was a botched release. I accidentally released a copy of trunk when my changes had been made to a feature branch
0.14 (02.06.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Brought back SSN field, which is a good demonstration of creating a Format subclass
* Fixed some version numbers because I have not been paying enough attention to them lately
0.13 (02.06.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Improved performance by more than 100% by changing the dynamic field methods to use
AUTOLOAD instead of using dynamic Moose attributes. We'll see if there's a downside
to this.
0.12 (02.05.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Added some notes to the POD; one about performance and one acknowledging the
existence of another module called Data::Faker
* Added reset() method to Data::Maker, which sets generated() to 0
* Added `from_name` attribute to Data::Maker::Field::Person::Gender, mainly for benchmarking
purposes so I could benchmark the Gender field by itself. If provided, it will use that name
instead of getting the name from the field referenced by `from_field`.
* Tweaked the Maker.pm POD a little, adding a section on performance, including benchmark results.
0.11 (02.05.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Two modules required by only one Field class each were not declared in Makefile.PL.
I added them, though I need to consider making each Data::Maker::Field subclass
that requires other CPAN modules having its own distribution and not being required for
Data::Maker itself.
* Added the Set and Lorem classes to the Data::Maker man page, because all classes are
listed there -- which I forgot. I need a checklist! :)
* Got rid of all signs of Data::Maker::Field::Person::SSN. I still want to have it
as an example of how you can easily add your own Format subclass, but I obviously
something since that original idea and I have to give it fresh thought.
* Added Data::Maker::Field::Person, which right now is nothing more than a way to
import all of the Person classes.
* Added a `before` trigger to record_count to reset the `generated` to zero whenever
`record_count` is changed. This might come back to bite me, but the only time it really
makes sense to change the `record_count` is when you want to start over.
* Added the Data::Maker->random class method for when you just need a really simple random
pick. I added this specifically for hierarchical data, so you can have a maker object called
in between `next_record` calls of another maker object that creates a random number of child
objects. It made sense to use $maker2->record_count( Data::Maker->random ).
0.10 (02.04.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Added Data::Maker::Field::Set
0.09 (02.03.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Now requiring that a "code" attribute be sent to Data::Maker::Field::Code
* Removed erroneous import of MooseX::AttributeHelpers -- thanks to Andreas Koenig (RT #54237)
* Removed lib/Maker.pm, which should have not been in the distribution.
0.08 (01.31.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* I keep forgetting to update $VERSION in the files when the version changes. Just updated them
0.07 (01.31.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Added $VERSION to all *.pm files
* Changed PROPERTIES to ATTRIBUTES in the POD for Data::Maker
* Fixed the code in the SYNOPSIS to make more sense (and added another example)
* Documented Data::Maker::Field::Code
* Documented Data::Maker::Field
0.06 (01.31.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Accidentally released a version with no net changes... oops
0.05 (01.31.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Changed $VERSION in the code to match the actual version (forgot to do that in 0.04)
* Modified the description in the POD
* Documented the individual Data::Maker::Field subclasses a little in the main Data::Maker page
* Removed some Data::Maker::Field subclasses that should never have been in the distribution
* Attributed my employer, ICA, for its support of the Perl community
0.04 (01.31.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Cleaned up some documentation
0.03 (01.31.2010) - John Ingram <john@funnycow.com>
* Added the "Changes" file (this file)
* Added essential POD to the main Data::Maker package
