# ChangeLog for Pod::Simple dist # Time-stamp: "2004-05-07 15:25:25 ADT"
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2004-05-07 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 2.06
Allison Randal brilliantly refactors a huge monolithic sub in
Blackbox.pm. Code is now actually sanely readable!
I add the new option-attributes fullstop_space_harden and
codes_in_verbatim, and the two methods abandon_output_string and
abandon_output_fh. Not yet documented.
New test fullstop_spaces.t and new corpus document
greek_iso_8859_7.pod.
Another version should be forthcoming in a few days that has the
new Pod::Simple::HTML stuff in it.
Note to self: document =extend and =encoding in perlpodspec ASAP!

* Release 2.05 -- bugfix version
In an attempt to stop Perl 5.6 versions from going completely
crazy, I've tried to basically turn off all Unicode/utf8 support
under 5.6. Under 5.8 and above, Unicode should work fine, and
under 5.6, all Unicode characters should be replaced with a little
"can't render" symbol, either a "ยค" or a "?".
Many many thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi for helping out.
(Works under 5.005 now too?)
2003-10-10 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 2.04 -- minor bugfix version
* Added some code to insulate Pod::Simple to runtime changes in
the value of $/. Thanks to Iain Truskett for catching this.
* Added FILENO method to TiedOutFH.pm, to work quietly under some
perls. Thanks to Jochen Stenzel for catching this.
* Fixed some tests that erroneously failed under some 5.6's
because of chdir()s in *.t files messing up @INC Thanks to many
who caught this, including Rocco Caputo.
2003-09-07 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 2.03 -- minor upgrade
* A =head[1234] command now closes any currently open =over, and
warns.
* Fixing a few obscure bugs, including one to do with the
Makefile.
* Added some tests for those bugs.
2003-09-02 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 2.02 -- fixing a testing bug
* Autrijus Tang found a silly bug of mine in corpustest.t's
testing of corpus/t/nonesuch.txt. Fixed,
* I add encoding_nonesuch.t to test corpus/t/nonesuch.txt better.
2003-09-01 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 2.01
* Moved all version numbers up to 2.01 for reasons of Tibetan
numerology.
* Implemented =encoding. Thanks a million to Jarkko, Autrijus,
Dan Kogai, and many others for their help, patience, and
encouragement.
It's not yet documented, but see ./t/corpus/*.txt for examples at
least.
* Added 'use utf8' to all the modules. Byebye perl-5.005
compatibility, hello decent perl-5.6 compatibility.

2003-09-01 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 0.98
* At Michael Schwern's suggestion, a list that begins with a
"=item [number]" line where number isn't a 1, is no longer
treated as an error, but instead is silently coerced into being a
text-item list, just as if it were "=item wubble" or whatever.
2003-08-12 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 0.97
* Loooking goooooood. Not smelling so much like beta anymore!
* I think this might be the last version before I go
putting "use utf8" all over the place.
* Added placefolders for "=encoding" support. If you use
"=encoding", you'll get an error about "not yet implemented"
instead of "unknown directive".
* Rewrote Pod::Simple::Pullparser's get_title, and added
get_version, get_author, and get_description. Documented them.
Thanks to Graham Barr for contributing an initial get_title and
then being patient while I seemed to do nothing with it for months
on end!
* More tests.
Otherwise just minor changes since last version:
* Fixed error in Pod::Simple::RTF.
* Added new but undocumented methods to Pod::Simple:
unaccept_directive(s) unaccept_target(s) unaccept_code(s)
* Corrected '=back without =open' error to '=back without =over'
* A little tweaking to the _verbatim_format code.
* Dump routines may use \x{NN} instead of \xNN format.
* Pod::Simple::HTML now uses VerbatimFormatted
* A few changes ot DEBUG messages -- nothing you'd normally see.
2002-11-19 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 0.96
* Still kinda sorta beta.
* Much much more docs in this version. Only a few feature
changes:

ages ago. Oops!
* Fixed some errors in the experimental VerbatimFormatted code.
* Added is_tagname / is_tag to Pod::Simple::PullParserStartToken
and Pod::Simple::PullParserEndToken
* Added RTFDEFLANG stuff to Pod::Simple::RTF.

VerbatimFormatted stuff.

doing something with X<...>'s.
