* Palm/Datebook.pm: add support for the newer-format Palm Calendar
databases.
2007-07-30 brian d foy <bdfoy@cpan.org>
* cleaned up the pod coverage test.
* add License and Author stuff to the distro
2007-01-15 brian d foy <bdfoy@cpan.org>
* chromatic sent me some changes living in another distro
(p5-Palm-1.004_000). It catches up 1.003_000 for all of the
changes since November 2002 listed in this file.
2007-01-13 brian d foy <bdfoy@cpan.org>
* Cleansed the dist to make it installable by CPAN tools.
It just needs a version without a _ in it.

2004-04-15 21:21 christophe
* Palm/PDB.pm, util/pdbdump: Added some logic to detect broken
databases during loading:
- database names _must_ contain the terminating NUL within the
first 32 characters of the header. This catches obviously broken
situations like text files renamed to .pdb files (which, oddly
enough, happens a lot when you're trying to process text files into
Doc files).
- position offsets mustn't go beyond the end of the database file
($pdb->{_size}). This indicates either truncation of the db or
straight corruption.
2004-04-08 22:55 christophe
* Palm/PDB.pm: make it impossible to create a nameless database. It
can't be uploaded to the PDA, that's for sure.

Backwards-compatible.
2002-11-07 09:11 arensb
* Palm/: Address.pm, Datebook.pm, Mail.pm, Memo.pm, ToDo.pm:
Rearranged @ISA, so that it'll get the right &ParseAppInfoBlock.

* Palm/PDB.pm: now now takes an optional hash with default values.
2002-06-16 09:37 azummo

attributes using "official" names
2002-05-09 11:08 arensb
* Palm/Address.pm: Again, more sanity-checking and a little less
code duplication.
2002-05-09 10:33 arensb
* Palm/Address.pm: More sanity checks, and a somewhat more elegant
way of doing things (iterate over field names, rather than
duplicating code a bunch of times).
2002-05-09 10:24 arensb
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm: (bug fix) Used to do some sanity-checking,
then ignored it. We now pay attention to our own sanity checks.
2002-04-09 20:59 arensb
* README: Added Keni as a contributor.
2002-04-09 20:58 arensb

Palm/PDB.pm, Palm/PQA.pm, Palm/Raw.pm, Palm/StdAppInfo.pm,
Palm/ToDo.pm, util/pdbdump: CPAN-friendly $VERSION.

attribute. Better check for non-NULLness of AppInfo block.
2000-09-25 01:06 arensb
* util/pdbdump: Added "launchable" attribute, for PQAs. Print
database attributes more clearly.
2000-09-25 01:05 arensb
* Palm/PQA.pm: First draft of PQA parser.
2000-09-25 01:05 arensb

* Palm/: Address.pm, Datebook.pm, Mail.pm, Memo.pm, PDB.pm, Raw.pm,
StdAppInfo.pm, ToDo.pm: $VERSION is now a floating-point number,
for comparison.
2000-09-24 12:24 arensb

* Makefile.PL: Bumped up patchlevel number.
2000-09-16 19:58 arensb
* Palm/PDB.pm: (bug fix): The two useless NULs are allowed, but not
mandated, by the spec. By assuming that they will always be there,
this module failed to parse some well-formed PDBs.
2000-09-16 19:57 arensb
* util/pdbdump: Oops! Forgot to fix resources. Minor cleaning.
2000-09-16 19:53 arensb
* util/pdbdump: (bug fix): The two useless NULs are allowed, but
not mandated, by the spec. By assuming that they will always be
there, 'pdbdump' failed to parse some well-formed PDBs.
2000-09-09 00:52 arensb
* Makefile.PL: Bumped up version number.
2000-09-09 00:50 arensb
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm: Added $error variable. (bug fix): A
mis-written test would cause &pack_StdAppInfo to omit unnamed
categories. Hence, the category list had fewer than 16 categories,
when written. Fixed typo. (feature): Added &addCategory,
&deleteCategory, &renameCategory. Removed BUGS section.
2000-09-08 22:48 arensb
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm: Stop Perl from complaining if there are
unnamed categories.
2000-09-08 22:47 arensb

* Makefile.PL: Bumped up the version number.
2000-08-28 23:19 arensb
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm: Changed API: the categories are new arranged
as a 16-element array of category structs, the way they logically
belong, rather than as disparate arrays, the way they're
represented in the file. Added a lot to the POD.
2000-08-28 23:16 arensb

recursively.
2000-08-13 18:08 arensb
* Palm/Datebook.pm: Incorporated changes suggested by John Jannotti
<jj@lcs.mit.edu>, to avoid warnings under Perl 5.6, when various
fields are undefined.
2000-08-13 17:59 arensb
* Palm/: Address.pm, Datebook.pm, Mail.pm, Memo.pm, ToDo.pm:
Updated for new &parse_StdAppInfo behavior.
2000-08-13 17:59 arensb
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm: (bug fix): &parse_StdAppInfo now puts the
non-category part of the AppInfo block in $appinfo->{other}. This
is so that a script that reads a random .pdb file as a StdAppInfo
(and nothing else) can copy it without loss of data.
&pack_StdAppInfo uses $appinfo->{other}. Clarified documentation
somewhat.
2000-08-04 00:12 arensb
* Palm/PDB.pm: Fixed expression that made 'perl5.6 -w' print a
warning.
2000-08-01 23:20 arensb

other modules, even though Datebook doesn't really use categories
and such.
2000-06-30 11:40 arensb
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm: (bug fix): Use of anonymous array instead of
a real array caused first category (and first category ID) to be a
reference rather than a "real" scalar.
2000-05-23 02:56 arensb
* Makefile.PL: Incremented patchlevel number.
2000-05-23 02:55 arensb
* Palm/: Address.pm, Memo.pm: (bug fix): Don't run
StdAppInfo::import(). This prevents StdAppInfo from registering
itself as the default handler in generic tools.

* util/dumpdb: Some obsolete refinements.
2000-05-13 01:14 arensb
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm: Added an import() function, so you can say
that a function is a Palm::StdAppInfo.
2000-05-13 01:12 arensb
* Palm/Mail.pm: (bug fix): Palm::Mail::new_Record() didn't return a
value. Don't import StdAppInfo, since don't want new PDBs to
default to StdAppInfo.
2000-05-08 05:48 arensb

Palm/PDB.pm with trace statements.

consistency. &append_Record, &append_Resource, &delete_Record
update PDB's mtime.
2000-02-01 07:20 arensb
* Palm/: Mail.pm, Memo.pm: Added $VERSION variable, per CPAN.
2000-02-01 07:19 arensb
* Palm/Address.pm: Added $VERSION to all .pm files, per CPAN.
Moved pod documentation to be adjacent to the code, instead of at
the end. Fixed &new so there are always 16 categories, one of
which is named "Unfiled" with code 0.
2000-01-23 04:18 arensb
* Palm/PDB.pm: The various _load_*() functions are no longer
methods, since they shouldn't be overridden anyway. Added
documentation for new_Record(), append_Record(), new_Resource(),
append_resource(), findRecordByID(), deleteRecord().
2000-01-23 01:33 arensb
* util/dumpdb: Bug fix: deal with PDBs without records, and PRCs
without resources. Memo: Dump() now prints the AppInfo and sort
blocks, if they exist. Address: Dump() now prints the field labels
in the AppInfo block. Address: print the record attributes.
2000-01-23 01:28 arensb
* Palm/PDB.pm: Updated copyright. Fixed function cross-references
in the documentation. new() method now initializes the common
fields. Fiddled with quotes in the documentation some more.
Write() method now supplies the two NULs if they're missing. Added
methods: new_Record(), append_Record(), new_Resource(),
append_Resource(), findRecordByID(), deleteRecord().
2000-01-23 01:24 arensb
* Palm/Address.pm: Added new() method, to specifically create a new
Address PDB. Added new_Record() method, to create a new Address
record. Bug fix: PackAppInfoBlock() only packed whichever
categories were defined. It now makes sure that it packs 16
categories.
2000-01-23 01:20 arensb

reflect the fact that the Palm stuff is in Palm::<foo>, not
Palm::PDB::<foo>.
