Changes for version 0.000_06 - 2012-01-27
- Add method CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Archive->wrap_archive(), which instantiates an archive object from an archive file and optional CPAN ID. This seems to remove the need to expose guess_media_type() and handle_http_response(), so their functionality has become private to the package. CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Archive->guess_media_type() and handle_http_response() are deprecated and will warn on use. Because they have never appeared in a production release they will be removed after a week. Make the CPAN::Access::AdHoc cpan() attribute a URI object, both internally and extrnally. The mutator takes either a stringifiable object or a string. The scheme must be supported according to LWP::Protocol::implementor(), and support a hierarchical name space.

- Retract the test of get_item_mtime() for Zip archives, since there is no way to make it work in any time zone. Document (briefly) the problems in CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Archive::Zip. Add static method CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Archive->guess_media_type(). This (currently) wraps LWP::MediaTypes::guess_media_type(), but provides some ad-hocery to help the latter in cases it can't handle. I'm not real happy with either this or handle_http_response(), but so far have been unable to come up with anything better.
Changes for version 0.000_04 - 2012-01-21
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES Remove all methods deprecated in 0.000_03. Change the way CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Archive::Null looks at its contents. Specifically:
- base_directory() now returns the directory portion of the path() attribute -- unless this looks like the path of a distribution, in which case it returns the directory relative to the authors/id/ directory.
- list_content() now returns just the base name of the enclosed file.
- The get_item_*() and item_present() methods just take the base name of the enclosed file.
- extract() creates directories as specified by the base_directory() method.
- OTHER CHANGES Add to CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Archive an umbrella handle_http_response() method that iterates over the subclasses returning the first archive object actually manufactures, or nothing if none of the subclasses know how to handle the argument. Rely on LWP::MediaTypes for MIME information, rathr than doing our own guessing. Guard against undefined value warnings when fetching unpackaged distributions such as T/TO/TOMC/scripts/whenon.dir/LastLog/File.pm.gz Abort the build if $Config{useperlio} is false, since we use this to make a file handle out of the data returned from the CPAN repository.
Changes for version 0.000_03 - 2012-01-10
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES The CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Archive::Null handle_http_response() static method now returns a CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Archive::Null object, rather than the content of the file. The CPAN::Access::AdHoc fetch_package_archive() method is deprecated in favor of the fetch_distribution_archive() method. The deprecated method will go away before the first production release. The CPAN::Access::AdHoc fetch_registered_module_index() now returns a reference to a hash contining the module index, rather than a string that needs to be eval-ed. OTHER CHANGES Add method fetch_distribution_checksums() to CPAN::Access::AdHoc. Have the CPAN::Access::AdHoc fetch() method actually check checksums. Add method get_item_mtime() to the CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Archive classes. The CPAN::Access::AdHoc cpan() mutator now validates URLs using URI::URL.
Changes for version 0.000_02 - 2012-01-06
- The CPAN::Access::AdHoc default_cpan_source() mutator now validates its argument, and croaks on an error. The CPAN::Access::AdHoc cpan() mutator now croaks if its argument was undef and no default can be computed. Check in CPAN::Access::AdHoc for failure when opening string references, and croak with error if needed. CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Default::CPAN::CPAN::Mini now explicitly converts the local repository path to POSIX before making a file: URL out of it. Add dependency on Module::Pluggable::Object, in lieu of home-grown plugin code. Review and update dependencies. Add author tests without optional modules CPANPLUS, CPAN::Mini and App::cpanminus. Add 'cpan' and 'cpan_default_source' commands to eg/cpan-adhoc, and have the 'help' command not exit.
