Add Travis CI testing.
Use GitHub as bug tracker. R.I.P. rt.cpan.org.
0.117 2020-04-15 T. R. Wyant
Remove all code related to GIS web service which was decomissioned a
number of years ago.
0.116 2019-10-14 T. R. Wyant
All the functionality based on the old GIS web site that this module was
originally based on now results in a fatal error. This includes not only
getElevation() and getAllElevations(), but any attributes that support
them, and the 'compatible' attribute that was installed to aid the
tranition.
0.115 2019-09-02 T. R. Wyant
Change default usgs_url to https://nationalmap.gov/epqs/pqs.php
since that is what is documented at
https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/ngp/3dep/about-3dep-products-services
Revised eg/usgs_ele to be able to swap between new and old URLs.
0.114 2019-08-25 T. R. Wyant
Make USGS URL https:, save a redirect.
Clarify POD re http://ned.usgs.gov/epqs/pqs.php
Add tests to ensure POD links stay fixed.
0.113 2019-06-21 T. R. Wyant
Fix more broken POD links.
0.112 2019-04-18 T. R. Wyant
Fixed broken link in the pod. Thanks to Mohammad S Anwar for
finding this.
0.111 2019-04-11 T. R. Wyant
The 'compatible' attribute now warns on all accesses.
0.110 2018-09-29 T. R. Wyant
Track change in service URL.
Make service URL an attribute so people can help themselves if this kind
of thing happens again.
0.109 2018-09-28 T. R. Wyant
Warn on first setting of 'compatible' attribute.
0.108 2018-03-24 T. R. Wyant
Guard against undef in method is_valid().
0.107 2018-03-03 T. R. Wyant
Default 'compatible' attribute to 0 (false).
Use manifest constants for reference names.
0.106 2016-03-24 T. R. Wyant
Track change in reported elevation of test point.
Add Makefile targets authortest and testcover.
0.105 2016-01-16 T. R. Wyant
Clean up unused variables in subroutine arguments.
Further deprecate getElevation(), getAllElevations(), and related
attributes. These now cause a warning on every use.
Add GitHub repository to metadata.
0.103 2015-10-09 T. R. Wyant
Track change in data set name retrieved by test.
0.102 2015-06-29 T. R. Wyant
Further deprecate getElevation() and friends.
A warning will now be generated on the first call to getElevation()
and getAllElevations(), and the first access (or modification) of
attributes 'default_ns', 'proxy', 'source', and 'use_all_limit'.
Change name of server providing service from ned.usgs.gov to
nationalmap.gov.
0.101 2014-08-02 T. R. Wyant
Remove bogus use of XML::Parser.
Install deprecation logic.
Test with 'compatible' set false.
Convert to use the NED server at http://ned.usgs.gov. This provides no
data set selection, and only a single elevation point, so there has
been extensive rewriting.
A 'compatible' attribute (true by default) has been added to control
the presentation of output. If true, returned results are modified
to be as close as feasible to the data returned from the old GISDATA
server, but user-visible differences remain. If false, the data
returned represent the NED server data more closely and naturally.
All methods and attributes specific to the old GISDATA server are
deprecated. See the NOTICE section of the POD for the gory details.
0.011 2013-01-27 T. R. Wyant
Fix error handling to deal with change in error message (from "No
elevation value was returned" to "No elevation values were
returned").
0.010 2012-01-06 T. R. Wyant
Bring Changes file into compliance with Test::CPAN::Changes, and add
author test xt/author/changes.t to be sure it stays that way.
0.009 2011-11-27 T. R. Wyant
Correct the address of the FSF in the GNU GPL (LICENSES/Copying)
0.008 2011-07-29 T. R. Wyant
Remove the 'transport' attribute, and all SOAP::Lite code, as
threatened in the 0.007_01 release. All interaction with the USGS
web site now uses HTTP Post.
Add the ability to use an HTTP Post request as a transport instead of
SOAP. The transport used is selected by the 'transport' attribute,
which defaults to 'HTTP_Post'. My current intent is to drop SOAP
support in the next production release, and retract the 'transport'
attribute.
0.007 2011-05-20 T. R. Wyant
Rewrite t/elev.t to take account of the fact that the best data set
for the test point is now 'Elev_DC_Washington', not
'NED.CONUS_NED_13E'. This as of approximately noon May 20 2011
(America/New_York).
Remove dependency on Params::Util. I was only using _INSTANCE(), and
that is readily replaced by Scalar::Util::blessed() and
UNIVERSAL::isa().
0.006 2010-06-30 T. R. Wyant
Update tests that made use of non-US data sets, since the USGS has
apparently taken them all down.
Add MIN_PERL_VERSION to Makefile.PM
Test the throttle mechanism, and make it actually work under test
conditions.
Add authortest tests to run the normal tests without the optional
modules.
Add $valid argument to Geo::WebService::Elevation::USGS
getAllElevations(), with same effect as in elevation().
Add and test retry logic, controlled by attributes retry (which
specifies the number of retries, defaulting to 0) and retry_hook
(which specifies what to do before each retry, defaulting to sub
{}). If carp is true, you get a carp on each error, but if croak is
true it only croaks after retries are used up.
Get rid of the '; charset=utf-8' in the Content-type header.
Have Geo::WebService::Elevation::USGS only generate a new SOAP::Lite
when needed. Cache it, and flush the cache when relevant attributes
change.
Convert to CPAN-recommended license and copyright notice.
Update README installation instructions to something much more modern
than just expanding the tarball.
Move author-only tests to the xt/ directory, and ditch environment
variable machinery. inc/Geo/WebService/Elevation/USGS/Build.pm
supplies the authortest target, which does not work under
Module::Build.
Do not require Module::Build for configuration, since you can always
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
Include bugtracker key in META.yml resources
0.005 2009-05-12 T. R. Wyant
Restructure Geo::WebService::Elevation::USGS
Data_ID-to-Data_Source code.
Tweak Geo::WebService::Elevation::USGS docs.
Specifically require Scalar::Util 1.10, since we use
looks_like_number().
Use NED.AK_NED for 'bad extent' testing in t/elev.t, since
SRTM.C_SA_3 is AWOL.
Use only core Perl::Critic modules in t/critic.t.
0.004 2009-01-04 T. R. Wyant
Modify BAD_EXTENT result synthesis in getElevation(), since
the USGS changed the error that is generated when this
happens, and since they now return mixed-case {Data_ID}.
Modify elevation() functionality to properly compare array
and hash source IDs to the returned {Data_ID} when the
data are picked out of the results of getAllElevations().
Document that the elevations returned are referred to
NAVD88 (except Alaska, which is NAVD29).
Make t/elev.t more robust in the face of various server
errors.
Bring distributed code up to perlcritic --stern with
exceptions.
Distribute t/critic.t and t/perlcriticrc
Use Params::Util::__INSTANCE rather than eval{isa}. This
adds a dependency on Params::Util 0.11.
0.003 2008-12-19 T. R. Wyant
Correct failure in t/pod.t when Test::Pod not available.
Skip tests in t/elev.t when query returns a 5xx error.
Try to pick up data from ActivePerl test failure.
0.002 2008-12-15 T. R. Wyant
Make is_valid() croak if not passed a scalar or hash ref.
Require Test::More 0.40 (rather than 0) and recode tests
to conform to this.
Log all net errors encountered during tests, to try to
diagnose test failures.
Recode Build.PL to configure the use of Module::Build to
the version present.
Recode Makefile.PL in a manner corresponding to Build.PL.
Add t/executable.t and t/manifest.t to the distribution.
0.001 2008-12-09 T. R. Wyant
