	* config-edit: renamed from config-model

2007-05-07  Dominique Dumont  

	* examples/fstab/fstab_test.pl (produce_fstab): added curses
	interface example (need to install Config::Model::CursesUI to
	work)

2007-05-04  Dominique Dumont  

	* config-model: added possibility to use the curses interface
	provided by Config::Model::CursesUI (if this one is installed)

	* ValueComputer.pm: Modified so compute may return an undef value
	if one of the variable (extracted from the configuration data) of
	the formula is undefined. In other word, propagate undef instead
	of croaking.

	* Searcher.pm: Lots of bug fixes
	(get_searchable_elements): new method
	(prepare): new method. Search is now done in 3 moves: create the
	searcher object, prepare the search, and run the search

	* Value.pm: removed unique_value parameter which was a bad idea
	for a check list implementation. Moved reference handling into new
	IdElementReference class

	* IdElementReference.pm: New class extracted from Value object so
	reference can be used also by CheckList

	* CheckList.pm: re-wrote as a "check_list" type and not a "list"
	type

2007-04-27  Dominique Dumont  

	* Instance.pm (reset_config): new method
	(searcher): renamed search_element to
	searcher. searcher retunrs a Config::Model::Searcher object.
	
	* AnyThing.pm (searcher): renamed search_element to
	searcher. searcher retunrs a Config::Model::Searcher object.

	* AnyId.pm (copy): new method to deep-copy the content of a hash
	or id element.

2007-04-13  Dominique Dumont  

	* Value.pm: moved out reference facility in
	Config::Model::IdElementReference

2007-03-16  Dominique Dumont  

	* Value.pm (fetch_no_check): new method

2007-02-23  Dominique Dumont  v0.608

2007-01-12  Dominique Dumont  v0.607

	* t/term_ui.t: Changed tests to try to load Term::ReadLine and
	skip tests if Term::ReadLine cannot be loaded.

2007-01-11  Dominique Dumont  v0.606

	* config-model: Corrected wrong doc for options.

	* Describe.pm: Small cosmetic changes in output.

2007-01-08  Dominique Dumont  v0.605

	* config-model: Now uses Log::Log4perl. (Still need to use
	Log4perl for all *.pm files though). Now write config files back.
	Added option to read and write config in test directories.

	* *.pm: Changed e-mail address to reduce spam.

	* *.pm: Small bug and doc fixes.
	
2006-12-08  Dominique Dumont 

	* Model.pm (load): Model files are expected to be delivered as
	Perl module and are searched using @INC. (E.g. Xorg.pl model will
	be searched as Config/Model/models/Xorg.pl in @INC elements)

	* Exception.pm (full_message): Clarified error message of
	RestrictedElement exception

	* examples/fstab/fstab_test.pl: Clarified notifications shown to
	user. Adapted to changes of 0.604

2006-12-06  Dominique Dumont   v0.604

	* Node.pm: added check_list in possible element of a node.

	* Value.pm (set): Changed reference declaration: now value_type
	must be set to 'reference' when using 'refer_to' parameter.

	* WarpedThing.pm: can group rules declaration in warp argument to
	save typing

	* WizardHelper.pm: adapted for ObjTreeScanner changes

2006-12-05  Dominique Dumont  

	* ObjTreeScanner.pm: Modified the callback signature so the user
	does no longer have to play with closures.
	- added check_list_cb for CheckList elements
	- improved doc
	- added callback example in doc

	* AutoRead.pm (auto_write_init): bug fix in auto_write functions

	* AnyId.pm (new): New allow and allow_from parameters to set
	"allowed" keys of a hash or list. This list of allowed keys can be
	fixed or dynamic.

	* AnyThing.pm (root): new method. Returns the root node of the
	configuration tree.
	(grab): bug fix so hash identifier can contain white spaces when
	calling grab (e.g. InputDevice:"Configured Mouse")

	* CheckList.pm: New class to implement a check list. 

	* Describe.pm: adapted for ObjTreeScanner changes and new
	CheckList element type

	* Dumper.pm: idem

	* Report.pm: idem

2006-10-19  Dominique Dumont   v0.603

	* Value.pm (set): forbids to specify both 'refer_to' and
	'value_type' in value declaration

2006-10-11  Dominique Dumont  

	* Loader.pm (load): Accepts now to load configuration data where
	index can contain white space. (e.g. Monitor:"Hercules Pro")

	* AnyId.pm: changed 'element_args' to 'cargo_args'. Changed
	'element_class' to 'cargo_class'. Added 'follow' parameter so a
	hash key can mimic the keys of another hash in the configuration
	tree.

	* TermUI.pm: removed debug print. This makes auto-completion much
	easier to understand ;-)

2006-09-26  Dominique Dumont  

	* Value.pm (set_default): added built_in default
	parameter. Built_in default parameter are not written in
	configuration files but can be used to audit configuration data.
	
	* AutoRead.pm (auto_read_init): bug fix: override of read_dir was
	not taken into account
	(auto_write_init): idem for write_dir

2006-09-22  Dominique Dumont  

	* Instance.pm: added doc for the possibility to specify where to
	read or write the configuration files.

2006-09-21  Dominique Dumont  

	* AnyId.pm (move): also change index value when moving items.

2006-09-07  Dominique Dumont   v0.602

	* config-model: added -help and -man options to command line

	* Model.pm (load): model file now must return an array ref and not
	invoke Model methods. See t/big_model.pm for an example
	(load): can load model file for model class that contain '::'. In
	this case the model file is searched in a sub-directory just like
	a perl class (E.g Model::Foo -> Model/Foo.pm)

	* HashId.pm (create_default): can initialise children nodes while
	creating default keys. (Necessary to be able to write a
	configuration model for Xorg)

	* AnyId.pm (move): new method

2006-07-20  Dominique Dumont   v0.601

	* config-model: new program. This programs can be invoked to
	modify configuration files (provided the corresponding model is
	available in /etc/config-model.d). (Still shaky. Don't run as
	root)

2006-07-19  Dominique Dumont  

	* Node.pm (get_type): new method
	(get_cargo_type): new method
	(get_element_name): added type and cargo_type parameters to filter
	returned element depending on their type or cargo (contained) type
	(describe): new method. Uses new Describe.pm file

	* Value.pm (get_type): new method
	(get_cargo_type): new method

2006-07-18  Dominique Dumont  

	* Model.pm (load): new method. Model can load model declaration
	from /etc/config-model.d. The model must be valid perl script that
	ends with an array ref containing configuraiton class declaration
	like the one accepted by create_config_class

	* ListId.pm (get_type): new method

	* HashId.pm (get_type): new method

	* AnyId.pm (get_cargo_type): new method.
	(config_class_name): new mehtod

	* Describe.pm: New file. Provides a human readable description of
	a configuration node.

2006-06-15  Dominique Dumont   v0.507

	* TermUI.pm: New file. Provides a shell like interactive user
	interface.

	* Node.pm: Now inherit AutoRead class

	* Instance.pm: Adapted for auto read/write.

2006-06-12  Dominique Dumont   

	* AutoRead.pm: New file. Provides node the capabilities to load
	config data when creating a configuration node.

2006-05-19  Dominique Dumont   v0.506

	* examples/fstab/FstabModel.pl: added Fstab example with its fstab
	configuration model. This example includes a small program that
	use this model to show some ways to extract configuration
	informations.

2006-05-17  Dominique Dumont   

	* Report.pm: new file. Provides report and audit facility for
	Node.pm

	* Node.pm (report): new method
	(audit): new method

	* Model.pm (create_config_class): added inheritance of
	configuration models.

	* HashId.pm (_get_all_indexes): sort returned indexes

	* Dumper.pm (dump_tree): fix list dump which did not work

	* AnyId.pm (fetch_all_values): new method

2006-04-21  Dominique Dumont   v0.505

	* WizardHelper.pm: New file. This class helps to create wizard
	widget for config models

	* Makefile.PL: ValueFormula is no longer compiled at build-time
	but on the fly at run-time. Hopefully this will fix Windows
	problem and ease integration downstream for a minor performance
	penalty at start time.

2006-04-10  Dominique Dumont   v0.504

	* Searcher.pm: Added search element feature. This feature provides
	a way to search for a configuration element in a configuration
	tree. The search can be launcher from an instance or any node of a
	configuration tree. Getting to searched target can be manual or
	automatic (with call-backs provided by user)

2006-03-21  Dominique Dumont  

	* Makefile.PL: Changed grammar pre-compilation to add a "1;" at
	the end of ValueFormulaParser.pm (Makes Windows happy)

2006-03-16  Dominique Dumont   v0.503

	* Makefile.PL (MY::postamble): Corrected CPAN dependencies
