Changes for version 1.100 - 2011-10-07

  • The start_date and end_date parameters can be provided for periods other than Advent. This feature is still young and has a bunch of arbitrary restrictions. Among other things, the date range may not cross a month boundary.
  • A "subtitle" option has been added for the text in the bar below the main title.
  • The default templates will be used if custom templates are not found.
  • The default templates no longer have "RJBS Advent Calendar" hardcoded.
  • The default favicon is no longer "rjbs." Instead, it's a nice little Christmas tree from http://www.favicon.cc/?action=icon&file_id=11923
  • The default calendar template no longer displays a year and month label.
  • The templates can now access the WWW::AdventCalendar object as $calendar.
  • Like everybody else, I used DateTime math incorrectly. The "days until the first door" only worked accurately if there was less than a month to go. This has been fixed.
