Changes for version 0.599_001 - 2020-06-16
- border style
- Now conforms to BorderStyle specification (v2) instead of the old Border::Style. The new specification makes each border style a proper class on its own instead of just a data structure, so some methods are moved there instead of merged into Text::ANSITable. This causes the following changes.
- [incompatible change][removed] Remove attribute 'border_style_args'. Arguments now should be given to the border style class directly (see next change item).
- [incompatible change] Attribute 'border_style' now must be a string (module name like 'ASCII::SingleLine', or a module name followed by a list of comma-separated arguments a la Perl's -M like 'Test::CustomChar=character,o') or a 2-element array containing module name and arguments, e.g. ['ASCII::SingleLine', []] or ['Test::CustomChar', {character=>'o'}]. 'border_style' may no longer be a hash containing border style structure. You will have to create a proper BorderStyle::* module if you want your own custom border style.
- [incompatible change][removed] Remove methods get_border_style and get_border_char. The border style object (stored in 'border_style_obj' object hash key) now sports its own get_border_char() method.
- [incompatible change] Border style names changed. See BorderStyles-Standard distribution for a collection of border styles. The default border style is now named 'UTF8::BrickOuterOnly' (instead of the old name 'Default::bricko'). You can still use the 'ansitable-list-border-styles' script or see the individual border style class to see how a border style looks.
- color theme
- Now conforms to ColorTheme specification (v2) instead of the old Color::Theme. The new specification makes each color theme a proper class on its own instead of just a data structure, so some methods are moved there instead of merged into Text::ANSITable. This causes the following changes.
- [incompatible change][removed] Remove attribute 'color_theme_args'. Arguments now should be given to the border style class directly (see next change item).
- [incompatible change] Attribute 'color_theme' now must be a string (module name like 'Text::ANSITable::Default::Gradation', or a module name followed by a list of comma-separated arguments a la Perl's -M like 'Test::Random=cache,0') or a 2-element array containing module name and arguments, e.g. ['Text::ANSITable::Default::Gradation', []] or ['Test::Random', {cache=>0}]. 'color_theme' may no longer be a hash containing color theme structure. You will have to create a proper ColorTheme::* module if you want your own custom color theme.
- [incompatible change] Color theme names changed. See ColorThemes-Standard or ColorThemes-Test distribution for a collection of generic border styles. The Text-ANSITable distribution itself still carries some color themes, now put in ColorTheme::Text::ANSITable::Standard::* namespace. The default color theme is now named 'Text::ANSITable::Standard::Gradation' (instead of the old name 'Default::default_gradation'). You can still use the 'ansitable-list-color-themes' script or see the individual color theme class to see how a color theme looks.
