Revision history for Perl extension Remedy::ARSTools.

1.19	Thu Sep 17 14:32:05 CDT 2015
	added JoinFormPostSubmitQuery support to PushFields (so you can now PushFields onto a join form and not have to use
	the automated query to find the thing you submitted).

1.18	Mon Sep 29 10:23:48 CDT 2014
	* fixed bug in ConvertFieldsToHumanReadable causing null enum field values to evaluate "0"

1.17    Wed Aug 20 13:30:15 CDT 2014
        * fixed bug in ConvertFieldsToHumanReadable causing null datetime, time_of_day and date values to be interpreted as "0"

1.16    Tue Jul  1 14:48:35 CDT 2014
        * fixed sort-order issue on CreateTicket where multiple results match the post-submit query for a 
          join form (previous to 1.16 the sort order was not consistent).

1.15    Fri May 30 11:41:50 CDT 2014
            
        * LoadARSConfig now captures "entry_mode" on field meta-data ("required", "optional", or "display-only")
        * LoadARSConfig now checks loaded cache files for missing schemas specified on object instantiation and refreshes config from server
        * CreateTicket (join form mode) now excludes display-only fields from post-submit query
        * CreateTicket (join form mode) now interpolates "" as $NULL$ in post-submit query
        * CreateTicket (join form mode) now allows override of auto-generated post-submit query qualification on JoinFormPostSubmitQuery option
		
1.14    Thu May 29 10:55:34 CDT 2014

        * bolted 'AlternateSortOrder' onto PushFields

1.13    Wed May 28 10:17:43 CDT 2014

        * fixed bug on CreateTicket, obscuring ARS::ars_errstr on submit to join form where 
          OverrideJoinSubmitQuery is set
			  
1.12    Tue May 27 10:04:08 CDT 2014

        * added MatchAction => "Nothing" to PushFields

1.11    Fri May 16 14:28:08 CDT 2014

        * added PushFields function
        * modified CreateTicket to deal with join forms
        * TO-DO: update the test suite for these two thangs ...

1.1     Mon May  5 11:18:28 CDT 2014

        * fixed typo in CreateTicket sub causing misleading errstr when required options missing

1.09    Tue Apr  8 08:31:29 CDT 2014

        * fixed regex on line 512, preventing CheckFields properly dealing with already-epoch-encoded datetime values

1.08    Wed Feb 26 13:45:57 CST 2014

        * fixed inverted logic in CheckFields / TruncateOK, prevented field lengths from being truncated
        * fixed error in CreateTicket causing CheckFields output to be returned instead of undef when CheckFields fails
        * fixed CheckFields date & time_of_day conversions to not die on NULL field values
                
         adding this to the to-do list
           
        * CoalesceRecords  -> add two records together, spit out complete record with updates
        * IntersectRecords -> take two records, spit out only the fields they have in common
        * SubtractRecords  -> take two records, spit out only the fields that are different
        * CompareRecord	   -> take two records, compare them. spit out a 1 if they're the same 0 if they're different

1.07    Mon Jan 27 16:49:06 CST 2014
        forgot to update dependencies in Makefile.PL to include Date::Parse and Time::Interval

1.06    Mon Jan 27 11:23:05 CST 2014

        * added automatic date, datetime & time_of_day string<->integer conversions on 
          CreateTicket, ModifyTicket, MergeTicket and Query
        * added ImportDefinition
        * added 'dataType' to cache field datastructure
        * added '__Remedy_ARSTools_Version' to cache datastructure
        * added automatic rebuild of cache for upgraded Remedy::ARSTools version
        * enhanced non-sequential custom enum decoding / encoding
        * added user-definable GMT offset for date/time conversions
        * enhanced ParseDBDiary to use datetime conversions
        * added EncodeDBDiary
        * added automatic diary datastructure -> string encoding for MergeTickets
        * added ExportDefinition
        * added TunnelSQL
        * added DeleteObjectFromServer
        * added more complete test suite w/optional test form import
            
        some things on my to-do list:
                  
            * FindFilterInGuides
              find all the filter guides containing the specified filter name
              
            * FindActiveLinkInGuides
              find all the active link guides containing the specified active link name
              
            * some kinda hack to make CreateTicket not return undef every time you create a ticket on a join form
              though presently I'm stumped. Querying by $LASTID$ in that scenario actually core dumped my 8.1 test arserver.
              suggestions welcome.
			  
1.05    Tue Jun 12 23:30:02 GMT 2012
        fixed bug in CheckFields causing enums to return null value match
                
1.04    Sat Apr 28 00:46:04 GMT 2012
        fixed CheckFields bug preventing ModifyTicket from setting a null value on an enum field.
        fixed the hacky duct-tape that was the 1.03 implementation of custom enum value lists with 
        the help mister John Zhang <jzhang@silverspringnet.com>. Thanks, man!

1.031   Sat Apr 28 00:46:04 GMT 2012
        fixed CheckFields bug preventing ModifyTicket from setting a null value on an enum field.

1.03    Fri Mar 23 16:49:48 EDT 2012
        LoadARSConfig now supports enums with custom value lists

1.02    Mon Nov 14 18:19:17 EST 2011
        added Merge function

1.01	Mon Jul 20 20:12:36 CDT 2009
	fixed problem with matching ARSPerl version number

1.0	Mon Nov 13 20:59:52 GMT 2006
	complete re-write. should work for all versions of ARSperl.
	a lot of things changed, a lot of things stayed the same.
	
		- now works without a config file (but faster WITH one)
		- reloads field definition data when missing config data
		- automatically reconnects on ARERR161 type errors
		- converts strings to integers for enum fields
		- removed snarky comments
		- rewrote documentation, removed even more snarky comments
		- removed 'timeout' option
		
0.92	Tue Oct 17 21:45:35 GMT 2006
        added 'timeout' option. If set, the control structure is reloaded if last access 
	was more than that long ago
	goddam this module needs a rewrite like a new set of drawers. it's FUNKY in there! ;-)

0.91	Tue Mar 21 16:16:25 GMT 2006	
	modified checkFieldLengths to accept blessed references on the Fields argument.

0.9	Fri Jul  9 09:46:50 EDT 2004
	well crap! 0.6 says I added truncate, but damn if I can find it in the code
	now ... added the TruncateOK => 1 option to CheckFieldLengths that will 
	truncate long fields. CreateTicket and ModifyTicket will pass this option
	allong to CheckFieldLengths.

0.8	01/30/04 16:12:02
	still carrying all the "things to do"
	CreateTicket now spews field value submissions in Debug mode

0.7 	05/12/03 21:50:47
	now exports procedural methods to calling namespace
	nothing else added/changed, so considder all the "things to do" 
        from .06 be the things to do for .08
	procrastination is the mother of intervention.

0.6	05/05/03 21:50:35
	added TruncateFieldLengths, and Truncate support to CreateTicket and ModifyTicket.
	Pod updated to reflect new options to CreateTicket and ModifyTicket.
	-Things To Do for 0.7:
		add docs to pod for actual TruncateFieldLengths method
		add better port switching via: ars_SetServerPort(ctrl, serverName, TCPport, RPCnumber)
		add the self-healing config
		legit test suite
		switch GenerateARSConfig to _GenerateARSConfig (fix autosplit problem)
	
0.5 	Wed 10/30/02 11:27:02
	initial release to CPAN under Remedy::ARSTools namespace
	added ParseDiay
    	added ParseDBDiary
	added support for auto-generating config files at object creation
	added support for auto-regenerating config files when fields not found
	modified RefreshConfig
	added GenerateConfig
	added GenerateARSConfig
	added GetFieldData
	-Still To Do:
	'AutoConfig' automatically refresh ConfigFile upon field data exceptions
	Write Test Suite.
	Make complains about GenerateConfig and GenerateARSConfig: that they are
	not unique when truncated to 8 chars. Fix in next release.
