Mon Sep 27 08:44:00 1999 Russ Allbery <eagle@windlord.stanford.edu>

marks.

* VERSION: podlators 0.07 released.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Changed the parsing model so that rather than
deferring E<> escapes until just before output, *roff output is
generated by the interior sequence parsing and the result is
passed up the parse trees as Pod::Man::String objects instead of
scalars to mark the output as already processed. In the process,
cleaned up what *roff escaping and guesswork is applied where and
cleaned up the whole process of applying guesswork. Also improved
the small caps guesswork to allow for more cases, including
several adjacent all caps words, and fixed some bugs with the link
text generation for man page references. Improved the escaping of
dashes and hyphens to use a single pass, improved the index
generation slightly, and fixed a few places that were clobbering
the caller's $_.
Mon Sep 20 00:55:29 1999 Russ Allbery <eagle@windlord.stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 0.06 released.
* scripts/pod2roff.PL: Expanded the man page documentation to take
into account suggestions from Larry Virden. Added examples for
ENVIRONMENT, more examples for OPTIONS, better examples for
subsections in DESCRIPTION, more details on ERRORS, a plea for a
method of fixing problems in DIAGNOSTICS as well as what the
message means, a plea for an explanation of examples in EXAMPLES,
a plea for documenting files that are modified in FILES, a mention
of a program web site in SEE ALSO, a mention of e-mail addresses
in AUTHORS, the AVAILABILITY section, and a note about markup
including L<> issues with e-mail addresses and URLs.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Added a BUGS entry for index entries for stuff
in NAME.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm: =begin text blocks are now output verbatim
rather than interpreted as POD. Documented the oddity with
Ctrl-As as a restriction.
* Makefile.PL: pod2txt renamed to pod2text.
* scripts/pod2roff.PL: Exit on Getopt::Long errors.
* scripts/pod2text.PL: Renamed to pod2text and updated for the
renaming of Pod::PlainText to Pod::Text. Added an explicit check
for Term::ANSIColor if -c was given. Added documentation of -h,
expanded the DIAGNOSTICS section to include directly generated
error messages and the most common Getopt::Long message.
* lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm: Updated for the renaming of
Pod::PlainText to Pod::Text.
* lib/Pod/Text/Color.pm: Updated for the renaming of
Pod::PlainText to Pod::Text, added BUGS note that the
implementation is rather incomplete and a note in DESCRIPTION that
it relies on Term::ANSIColor.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm: Renamed to Pod::Text, various comment cleanups,
always treat =for paragraphs as verbatim text, cleaned up the
documentation a little, and added two more diagnostics and a
cross-reference to pod2text(1). Bumped revision to 2.0 to be
larger than the old Pod::Text.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm: Renamed to Pod::Man from Pod::Roff, since there
is no standard Pod::Man module to worry about conflicting with.
* scripts/pod2roff.PL: Cut down on some information redundant with
Pod::Man's documentation, changed for the renaming of Pod::Roff to
Pod::Man, and added a BUGS section noting a few currently unfixed
problems.
* lib/Pod/Roff.pm: Inherit from Pod::Parser instead of
Pod::Select, get the date from our input file by default, be even
more conservative about small caps but put AT&T in small caps, and
added documentation.
* Makefile.PL: Add pod2roff to the scripts, improve handling of
scripts a little.

Mon Aug 30 00:09:03 1999 Russ Allbery <eagle@windlord.stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 0.04 released.
* Makefile.PL: Use File::Spec to build file paths for portability,
removed the dist setting since current Perls get this right, and
added the magic to cope with pod2txt as a .PL file.
* scripts/pod2txt.PL: Added the .PL magic to fix the shebang line
that will be necessary when this script is part of Perl core.
* VERSION: podlators 0.03 released.
* lib/Pod/Text/Color.pm: Pod::SimpleText changed to Pod::PlainText
everywhere.
lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm: Likewise.
* scripts/pod2txt: Pod::SimpleText changed to Pod::PlainText
everywhere, added documentation that Pod::Text::Termcap is used by
default if STDOUT is a tty, and clarified the documentation of
--loose.
Thu Jul 29 08:23:09 1999 Russ Allbery <eagle@windlord.stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 0.02 released.

compatibility.

using Pod::PlainText.
lib/Pod/Text/Color.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/PlainText.pm: Properly wrap multi-line =item tags.
* Makefile.PL: Changed the name of the package to podlators.
* lib/Pod/PlainText.pm: Fixed a spurious space with =for text
commands, check the content of sequences against '' specifically
rather than testing truth so that it does the right thing with 0,
process sequences for =head headings, and changed the name from
SimpleText to PlainText. Also speeded up some sequences slightly.
