Revision history for Perl module CPAN::WWW::Testers.

0.50	29/04/2012
	- ADVANCED WARNING
	- - This distribution will be deleted shortly.
	- - It is no longer used to create the CPAN Testers website.
	- - Please see CPAN-Testers-WWW-Reports.

0.49	07/02/2009
	- The NYTProf release
	- moved to using YAML::Syck to speed up YAML output processing.
	- removed dclone calls as it wasn't necessary and implemented the 
	  additional fields into report structure directly, instead of 
	  repeating the process.
	- moved to using iterators where more appropriate.
	- rewrote _write_stats to implement a single loop around perl versions
	  instead of 3!
	- updated _log to include datestamp and append newline
	- moved more decision making into SQL
	- Blead Perl GitLive patches are causing formatting problems, so all
	  patched Perls with 'blead' are now rewritten as 'patch blead'.

0.48	02/02/2009
	- fixed javascript for osname/ostext (thanks to David Cantrell).

0.47	02/02/2009
	- added functionality to support symlinks and merging results of
	  distributions that are known by more than one name.
	- merged 2 new AJAX/CGI scripts into src/cgi-bin/reports-text.cgi 
	  (v0.03). Returns text by default, add 'output=ajax' to enable
	  OpenThought return string.
	- added warning if author not found for a distribution version.
	- fixed reports-summary.cgi (v0.03) bug where development versions
	  were being listed, even though "official only" had been selected.
	  (thanks to Dave Cantrell for spotting).
	- extend width of blank to 120px in cpanreps-imlib (v0.05).
	- added sponsor message to src/footer

0.46	22/01/2009
	- fixed error handling code in new AJAX/CGI scripts:
	    src/cgi-bin/reports-ajax.cgi (v0.02)
	    src/cgi-bin/reports-text.cgi (v0.02)

0.45	22/01/2009
	- added CGI scripts to retrieve information regarding a distribution
	  version:
	    src/cgi-bin/reports-ajax.cgi (v0.01)
	    src/cgi-bin/reports-text.cgi (v0.01)
	- updated src/cgi-bin/reports-summary.cgi (v0.02) with better error
	  handling.

0.44	19/01/2009
	- added 'use warnings'.
	- fixed database size calculation (thanks to David Westbrook).

0.43	13/01/2009
	- amended _make_* functions to be methods.
	- consolidated the _make_rss_* functions into a single method.
	- added _log() method to write progress messages to a log file, which
	  can be user defined within the config file.
	- changed _init() to a new() constructor.
	- changed startup scripts to reflect changes in core code, updated
	  documentation and/or copyright update:
	    bin/cpanreps-imlib      (v0.04)
	    bin/cpanreps-update     (v0.03)
	    bin/cpanreps-verify     (v0.07)
	    bin/cpanreps-writepages (v0.04)
	- added _make_tt_file() method to reduce code, allowing for global 
	  params to be added in one place.
	- removed config() method as it is no longer relevant, config file
	  should now be passed directly to the new() constructor.
	- removed ttjs and consolidated the calls with make_tt_file().
	- merged layout and layout.js
	- added meta tags to HTML layout.
	- extracted EXCEPTIONS and OSNAMES in the configuration file.
	- removed _mklist_osnames() by intergrating it with _write_osnames() 
	  and moving the latter to the beginning of the process list. Thus the
	  osnames() attribute is now prepopulated.
	- allowed RSS limits to be user configured.
	- lots more tests.

	CHANGELOG:

	* MANIFEST -- added the files to the distro
	* Makefile.PL -- added some deps used in the tests
	* lib/CPAN/WWW/Testers.pm -- misc minor tweaks & bugfixes
	  + _init() -- change ->{config} to use the accessor/mutator ->config
	  + typo fix: s/Must specific/Must specify/
	  + _init(),pod -- allow for config to be anything that	
	    Config::IniFiles supports.
	  + _init() -- %opts seemed to possibly be malformed; explicitly made
	    sure that there wouldn't ever be odd number of elements.
	  + _init() -- made the directory check/err msg clearer.
	  + _last_id() -- allow for setting id to 0
	  + _write_authors -- bug: bad hash key name  (only manifests if
	    $count <= 500000)
	  + _write_authors,_write_distributions -- 'bug': splice was throwing
	    warning if array was smaller than limit.
	  + _write_* -- bug: testersversion wasn't being passed to TT in a
	    bunch of places.
	  + _write_index -- changed 'foo/bar' to be constructed by 
	    File::Spec->catfile()
	  + _make_rss_recent -- case tweak in title for consistency

	  features
        - added Archive::Extract to unwrap the database
        - generate() no longer automatically downloads the database archive,
          as the current site is built from a local copy.
        - rewrote examples/generate.pl to allow remote or local database
          locations to be used. Also updated documentation and version.
        - added bin/cpanreps-writepages, which is really a copy of

	- add functionality to Testers.pm to allow updates for named

	  changes made to ensure pages still built correctly.
	- added Perl Community AdServer links
	- consistently provided help|h and version|V options to all scripts:
	    bin/cpanreps-update     (v0.01)

	    bin/cpanreps-writepages (v0.02)

	  GROUP BY so we don't try and query every report for the author.
	- better version sorting implemented, mostly for stats matrix
