[NEW WEEKLY THEME 2006/01/02]
- weekdays
[HEY, WEEKDAYS IS NOT NEW! IT WAS ADDED IN VERSION 0.51!!]
- Well, the theme has changed enough that I can consider it
new: it's now a subclass of Acme::MetaSyntactic::Locale
and supports Basque, Catalan, Corsican, Danish, Dutch, English,
Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Latin, Latvian,
Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Welsh and Yiddish
lists (as well as the Pataphysical calendar).
- You've being doing this three times already! What does it mean?
- I must admit that it's the only way I've found to add something
new each week and still manage to have only 100 themes when I
reach version 1.00...

is running, they can be "required" without a restart

[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Added support for empty lists (prevents AMS from falling into
an infinite loop), thanks to Abigail
- Better support in Acme::MetaSyntactic::Locale for language
tags longer than 2 characters
- Acme::MetaSyntactic::RemoteList now uses LWP::UserAgent to fetch
remote lists
[THEME UPDATES]

default list)
[TICKET CLOSED]

- unicode
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Acme::MetaSyntactic::List and Acme::MetaSyntactic::Locale-based
theme can now supply their lists to __PACKAGE__->init(), instead
of storing them in __DATA__. The data format must be the same
as the one that load_data() returns.
[FILE UPDATE]
- Oops. The DATES file was not listed in the MANIFEST file,
and therefore not included in version 0.49.
- DATES now lists all planned themes for 2005.

Acme::MetaSyntactic::Locale

to fetch the source list for the theme from a given URL.
The associated test script spots new items and warns me about it.
- The first themes with a remote list are viclones, dilbert and
pm_groups.
- meta now has a --remote option that prints the remote list of items
[NEW FILE]
- the DATES file lists all themes added since the beginning,

Using any Acme::MetaSyntactic::theme with the empty list () will
now prevent the metatheme() function to be created.
[COVERAGE]
- Coverage is not 100% any more (99.6% under Linux and 99.4% under
Windows), but I think I'll mostly blame Devel::Cover ;-)

the change to the behaviour-based architecture

this happen?

in a given theme until all items from the theme have been seen.

[ENHANCEMENTS]
- now looks for Acme::MetaSyntactic themes everywhere in @INC
(not only in the directory where Acme::MetaSyntactic is installed)
- better documentation for Acme::MetaSyntactic::Locale
[BUGFIX]
- load_data() does not destroy $_ any more
- the bugfix in 0.16 did not fix the "whitespace in install dir" bug,
but the @INC enhancement did (thanks to Olivier Mengué for pointing
me to File::Glob)
0.16 Fri Apr 1 11:31:27 CEST 2005
[NEW WEEKLY THEME 2005/04/04]
- haddock (Jérôme Fenal)
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- The new Acme::MetaSyntactic::Locale allows for multilingual themes
- The first theme to use this behaviour is "haddock"
- Still 100% coverage (even cover Win32 code under Unix)
[BUGFIX]
- Corrected a bug that only appeared if Acme::MetaSyntactic
was installed in directories containing whitespace
(thanks to Max Maischein for testing under such conditions!)

metasyntactic variables with shiny new ones

- loremipsum (Jérôme Fenal)
0.12 Sun Mar 6 20:15:11 CET 2005
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- To prevent endless growth of the Acme::MetaSyntactic module,
and support various theme behaviours, support for behaviour
classes has been added.
- The first behaviour class is Acme::MetaSyntactic::List, which
reproduces the previous behaviour of selecting a number
of random items from a list, with no repetition until
the list is exhausted.
- The 17 existing themes have been converted to the new scheme.
[USAGE]
- Acme::MetaSyntactic is a dependency for a least one module!
Praise Bot::MetaSyntactic, which is the core of the meta bot
running on irc://irc.perl.org/perlfr
[INCOMPATIBILITIES]
- the API has changed a little:
+ Acme::MetaSyntactic does not has methods named after the
themes any more
+ The name() method now accept the theme name as its first
parameter
+ name( [ $theme, ] 0 ) now returns the full list of names
[COVERAGE]
- Code coverage is still 100%, but I had to resort to a hack
to achieve this feat.
[NEW BEHAVIOURS]
- Acme::MetaSyntactic::List is the classic "random item from a list"
that existed until now
[ANNOUNCE]
- More behaviour subclasses will follow!
[NEW WEEKLY THEMES 2005/03/07]
- any [a metatheme (!) that returns names from a random theme]
- dancers [a birthday gift and homage to my wife,
who was born on March 7th, 30 years ago]

[BIG FUX]

[SMILL FAX]
- meta did issue a warning when called without arguments.
Rafael Garcia-Suarez provided a patch, which I modified
so that no args means default theme.
[NEW WEEKLY THEME 2005/01/24]
- tld (Scott Lanning suggested ISO 3166 country codes)
0.05 Sun Jan 16 18:30:29 CET 2005
[ANNOUNCE]
- From now on, releases should happen on a weekly
basis, every monday morning (CET)... A new list every week!
- Email me with suggestions (and lists).
[STUPID ME]
- 0.04 was released too soon, so this version:
+ puts the coverage back at 100% (one missing test in 0.04
had the coverage fall to 97.8%. Darn.)
+ removes the compromising "log" file (which was there since 0.01)
+ removes the "Build" file (which was there since 0.01, as well)
[TOOLS]
- script/meta is a simple front-end, useful with $EDITOR
[THEMES]

0.02 Fri Jan 14 01:50:42 CET 2005
