2.03 - fixed bug in the _parse() routine (better: design flaw).
after the last patch for allowing whitespaces in
option names, it had a problem with here-docs which
contained equal signs. option/value splitting resulted
in weird output.
- as a side effect of the bug fix below it is now
possible to use equal signs inside quoted values, which
will then be ignored, thus not used for splitting
the line into an option/value assignment.
- added a new test, which tests for all possible notations
of option/value lines.
2.02 - added patch by Jens Heunemann, which allows to use
whitespaces in option names.
- changed the save() calls in the test script (t/run.t)
to save_file()
- removed new() from ::Interpolated and ::Extended.
This may break existing code (they will need to
move to the flags of Config::General::new() ), but
this decision must be made. The problem was that
both the old way of directly using the subclasses
and the enw way did not work together. So, now
subclasses are only method holders and used by
Config::General on request. Direct use of subclasses
is prohibited. (you receive a warning if you do).
2.01 - added -ConfigFile (in replace for -file) and
-ConfigHash (in replace for -hash) to get a consistent
parameter naming scheme. The old names are still
supported for backward compatibility, but no more
documented.
- the parameter -BaseHash has been dropped because
-DefaultConfig already has the capabilities of
defining a custom backing hash. The pod section for
-DefaultConfig has been enhanced to reflect this.
- README changed something. Removed the 'small' keyword,
because the module isn't really small anymore :-)
At least IMHO.
2.00 - fixed a bug in the ::Extended::keys() method, which
caused a beloved "use of uninitialized ..." message.
Reported by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>.
- Removed all deprecated methods (in fact, they are still
there for shouting out a warn that its deprecated. But
the pod sections are removed. These are NoMultiOptions()
and save().
- added two new parameters to new(): -InterPolateVars and
-ExtendedAccess, which allows one to use the functionalites
of the supplied submodules without the need to decide
for one of them. This makes it possible to use variable
interpolation and oop access in the same time. Suggested
by Jared Rhine <jared@wordzoo.com>.
- added new parameter -BaseHash which makes it possible
to supply your own hash which stores the parsed contents
of the config. This can be a tied hash o the like.
Suggested by Jared Rhine <jared@wordzoo.com> too.
- switched to release 2.00 because the above is a major
change.
1.36 - simplified new() parameter parsing, should be now a little
bit better to understand.
- added new parameter -DefaultConfig, which can hold a hashref
or a string, which will be used to pre-define values
of the resulting hash after parsing a config.
Thanks to Mark Hampton <mark.hampton@qualis.com> for the
suggestion.
- added new parameter -MergeDuplicateOptions, which allows
one to overwrite duplicate options, which is required,
if you turn on -DefaultConfig, because otherwise a
array would be created, which is probably not what you
wanted.
- added patch by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>
to Config::General::Extended::keys(), which allows to
retrieve the keys of the object itself (which was not
directly possible before)
- added patch by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>
to Config::General::Extended::value(), which allows to
set a value to a (perlish-) nontrue value. This was a
bug.
- added patch by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>
to Config::General::_parse_value, which fixes a bug in
this method, which in prior versions caused values of
"0" (zero digit) to be wiped out of the config.
- added tests in t/run.t for the new default config feature.
1.35 - the here-doc identifier in saved configs will now created
in a way which avoids the existence of this identifier
inside the here-doc, which if it happens results in
weird behavior in the resulting config.
1.34 - Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au> reported a bug
in _store(), which caused the module to create scalar
entries even if the entry contained newlines. While
Danial supplied a patch to fix this - thx(TM) - I
did not apply it, because I "outsourced" this kind of
stuff to the subroutine _write_scalar(), see next.
- added internal methods _write_scalar() and _write_hash()
to simplify _store(), which did the same thing more
than once, which is a good time to create a sub which
does the job.
- fixed cut'n paste bug in General/Extended.pm reported by
Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>, which caused
Config::General::Extended::is_scalar() to return true even
when the key you pass in is an array.
- added new method Config::General::Extended::delete() suggested
by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>, which deletes
the given key from the config.
1.33 - fixed bug in _parse_value() which caused perl to complain
with "Use of uninitialized value in..." if a value was
empty.
1.32 - *argl* ... I forgot Interpolated.pm, don't know how that
could happen, in 1.29 it was "lost". However -
I added it again now.
- added patch by Peder Stray <peder@linpro.no> to
the _store() method, which makes it possible to catch
arrays of hashes to be stored correctly.
- cleaned up the t/run.t testscript to reflect the
changes (in fact I did not touch it since 1.18 or so).
- added test number 16 to test variable interpolation
using ::Interpolated in t/run.t.
- fixed bug with new() parameter -AllowMultiOptions which
generated a croak() if set to something other than "no".
- changed Extended::save() to reflect the API change,
it calls now save_file().
1.31: - i'm such a moron ... I forgot to do a make clean
in 1.30, pf. So this is 1.31, which is clean.
1.30: - fixed typo, which made 1.29 unusable (undefined var %config)
- added code to check if unknown parameters to new()
has been supplied.
1.29:
- added 2 procedural functions ParseConf and SaveConf
- added new parameters -AutoTrue and -FlagBits
- added save_file() which replaces save(), which was
weird implemented. If the user only supplied a hash
as parameter to save(), then the first key was
used as the filename and the rest was used
as a config hash (which was then of an uneven size).
- save_file() takes now instead of a hash a hash-ref
and a filename. And the hashref is optional, since
the object already contains a complete hash.
- new method save_string() added, which returns the
ready generated string instead of writing it to
disk. The user can then save it himself.
- POD updated.
1.28:
- added contributed sub module Config::General::Interpolated
by "Wei-Hon Chen" <plasmaball@pchome.com.tw> with
help from "Autrijus Tang" <autrijus@autrijus.org>
which makes it possible to use variables inside
config files.
- _read() accepts now c-comments inside c-comments if
they are on a single line.
- _read() is now more tolerant to here-identifiers
(the ends of here-docs), whitespaces right after
such an identifier are allowed (i.e. "EOF ").
- _read() does now behave somewhat different with
C-comments, they will be the first thing being
processed in a config, so the parser really
ignores everything inside C-comments. Previously
it did not do that, for example here-docs has
not been ignored.
1.27: - "make test" complained about uninitialized value
in :146, which is now fixed.
1.26: - added filehandle capability to -file.
- added -String parameter to new(), which allows
one to supply the whole config as a string.
- added -MergeDuplicateBlocks option, which causes
duplicate blocks to be merged.
1.25: - include statements are now case insensitive
- include statements may now also being used with
indentation(leading and following whitespaces are
allowed)
- changed the end here-doc regexp from .+? to \S+?
so " <<include..." works as expected (this was a bug, imo)
- added new option -IncludeRelative (idea contributed
by Valerio_Valdez Paolini <paolini@students.cs.unibo.it>
and Anton Luht <luht@ank.ru> :-)
This allows to include files from the location of
the configfile instead from the working directory.
1.24: - AllowMultiOptions printed out the value and not the
option itself, if more than one of this particular
option occured.
- added -UseApacheInclude feature, contributed by
Thomas Klausner <domm@zsi.at>
- fixed bug with multiple options stuff, which did not
work with blocks or named blocks. Pointed out by
Thomas Klausner <domm@zsi.at>, who meant it being
feature request, but in fact it was a bug (IMHO).
- Config::General does now contain also it's OO-sister
Config::General::Extended, which is from now on
no more available as an extra module, because it
lived a shadowy existence.
- finally(!) created a Changelog file (this one, yes).
1.23: - fixed bug, which removed trailing or leading " even
no matching " was there.
1.22: - added a new option to new(): -LowerCaseNames, which
lowercases all option-names (feature request)
1.21: - lines with just one "#" became an option array named
"#" with empty entries, very weird, fixed
1.20: - added an if(exists... to new() for checking of the
existence of -AllowMultiOptions.
- use now "local $_" because it caused weird results
if a user used $_ with the module.
1.19: - you can escape "#" characters using a backslash: "\#"
which will now no more treated as a comment.
- comments inside here-documents will now remain in the
here-doc value.
