Changes for version 0.10 - 2002-06-05

  • Added new error_level parameter to new(). This tells App::Info objects how to handle errors on an object-by-object basis. The new base class method error() is for subclasses to use for throwing errors, and last_error() is for client code to access the last error in non-fatal error modes. See App::Info for complete documentation. This is the major change the triggered the (mild) version number jump.
  • Reworked all application subclasses to use the new error() method.
  • Changed all application subclasses so that they're no longer singleton classes. Each new object construction looks for application metatdata all over again.
  • Updated documentation on subclassing to reflect changes.
  • Added first_exe() and first_cat_exe() to App::Info::Util. Changed RDBMS::PostgreSQL, HTTP::Apache, and Lib::Iconv to use them.
  • Added more directories in which to search for the Apache server executable, thanks to work by Dave Rolsky.
