Revision history for Perl extension PPI
0.845 Sat Jan 15 2005
General:
- Adding integration with PPI::XS, autoloading if installed
Details:
- Added $PPI::XS_COMPATIBLE and $PPI::XS_EXCLUDE variables to guide integration
- Don't autoload PPI::Document, always load
- Load in PPI::XS whenever it is installed

0.844 Fri Jan 14 2005
General:
- Found a massive performance bug when parsing large perl constructs
- Fixed some install problems
Details:
- PPI::Node::schild was copying the entire of it's child array each call.
This was causing massive slowdowns when ->{children} got large. Fixed.
- The core tests still expect Transform to be in the core. Fixed.
0.843 Tue Jan 12 2005
General:
- Starting the process of removing PPI::Base.
It only does does error handling now, which will be split up.
- Fixing some packaging and "play well with others" issues
Details:
- Randal Schwartz pointed out t/06... wouldn't working for him.
It appears when Test::More bug CPAN #8385 was fixed, we broke.
- We now include build-time-only dependencies in the installer
- Although unusable, PPI::Document::Normalized's version fell out
of sync with the rest of the distribution. Fixed.
- PPI::Tokenizer no longer inherits from PPI::Base
- Added class variable $PPI::Tokenizer::errstr
- Added class method PPI::Tokenizer->errstr
- Fixed Tokenizer Bug: C< y => 1 > was being seen as a regex
- Fixed Tokenizer Bug: C< <<''; > was dying because I expected at
least one character
- Fixed Tokenizer Bug: C< $foo->{s} > was being seen as a regex
0.842 Tue Jan 11 2005
General:
- Lots of debugging based on Tinderbox results
Details:
- Fixed MANIFEST.SKIP to removed PPI::Transform and PPI::Tinderbox
from the core PPI distribution (like they should be)
- Optimised the previous #9582 to not have to run for EVERY word,
only those where it might be needed.
- Corrected a use of QuoteLike::Execute to QuoteLike::Backtick
- Fixed CPAN #9598 Tokenizer Bug: C< qx( $command ) >
- Fixed CPAN #9614 Tokenizer Bug: C< $foo << 16 >
- Set the properly includive regex for << '...' here-doc
- Added an very early filter to prevent non-basic chars going in
0.841 Mon Jan 10 2005
General:
- Completed much more documentation on the core classes
- PPI::Tester back in sync again (seperate distribution)
- PPI::Processor and PPI::Tinderbox completed (seperate distribution)
Details:
- Documented PPI::Tokenizer
- PPI::Document->new( $source ) added as a convenience
- PPI::Lexer::lex_file can now be called statically
- PPI::Lexer::lex_source can now be called statically
- PPI::Lexer::lex_tokenizer can now be called statically
- Fixed a small bug in PPI::Dumper::print
- Fixed CPAN #9582 Tokenizer Bug: C< sub y { } # Comment >
- Fixed similar case with C< foo->y() >
0.840 Thu Dec 21 2004
General:
- Changed the PPI summary to no longer use the devisive word "parse"
Now: "PPI - Analyze and manipulate Perl code without using perl itself"
- Total rewrite of all the ->location code
- Upgrading MakeFile.PL to Module::Install
- Fixed #CPAN 8752 (a round-trip edge case bug)
- Added 08_regression.t to do code/dump regression testing for lexer bugs
- Completed (hopefully) HereDocs conversion to a single complex token
- PPI is now compatible with prefork.pm (although not dependant)
Details:
- Added PPI::Node::find_first object method
- Changed PPI::Node::find_any to just call PPI::Node::find_first
- Added PPI::Element::first_token object method
- Added PPI::Element::last_token object method
- Made a partial-removal-capable PPI::Element::_flush_locations
- PPI::Document::flush_locations uses PPI::Element::_flush_locations
- PPI::Document::index_locations is here-doc sane
- Added PPI::Token::HereDoc::heredoc object method
- Added PPI::Token::HereDoc::terminator object method
- Documented PPI::Token::HereDoc
- Added a HereDoc code/dump test to 05_lexer_practical.t
- Added PPI::Document::serialize, which replaces the use of
->content for generating the actual string to write out to
files when saving Documents.
- File::Spec reduced from dependency to build dependency
- Updated Test::ClassAPI dependency to newest version
- Enabled API collision detection in 02_api.t
- Updated Class::Autouse dependency to newest version
0.840_01 Tue Dec 21 2004
General:
- Perl Foundation Funding Commences
- Changes separated into General and Details from here one
- Complete re-organisation of the quote-like token classes.
Any and all code that works with quotes will be broken.
- Gave up on the old PPI::Query code and wrote a complete new and
much thinner implementation based roughly on the API of
File::Find::Rule.
PPI::Find uses the &wanted function (which also has a slightly
different API to the old one) but has the ->in style search methods.
It should be relatively easy for someone to write PPI::Find::Rule
on top of it.
- PPI::Transform is thus temporarily stale
Details:
- Introduced a bug for C< foreach $foo () > and caught/fixed it
during the changeover.

- API Freeze PPI::Dumper
- Documented PPI::Find
- Documented PPI::Dumper
