Changes for version 0.015 - 2024-04-27

  • Better support for fields sharing name, with Field->addr (refaddr) and TableReader->field_by_addr
  • Decoder iterators now have ->row attribute
  • Spreadsheet decoder ->position includes sheet number and now uses 1-based row number (as originally intended)
  • Results of find_table are stored in table_search_results for better inspection and reporting on a failure. This allows detection messages to be associated with a row, and various conflicts to be associated with a column (without parsing message text).
  • On a failed find_table, user can inspect the attempts in table_search_results->{candidates} and select one to be ->{found}, and then proceed to create the iterator.
  • col_map is now a full attribute and can be specified in the constructor. find_table starts with the user-supplied value and tries to fill in any 'undef' values in that array.
  • New settings on_partial_match, on_ambiguous_columns, and modified official values of on_unknown_columns. These provide better control over what counts as an error and whether to continue the search.
