Revision history for Perl extension App::Info.
0.30 2004-11-20T19:10:55
- Fixed number of tests to skip in "sqlite_info.t" for systems that
don't have SQLite installed. Reported by numerous CPAN testers.
- Fixed carp.t to be compatable with older Perls.
- Added new C<lib_dirs()> method to App::Info::Util to centrally handle
the parsing and returning of typical library directories as defined by
the "libsdirs" and "loclibpth" Config settings.
- Added /sw/lib to the list of library diretories to search for
SQLite libraries.
- Only loading DBI in App::Info::RDBMS::SQLite if a version of
DBD::SQLite is known to be installed, rather than at compile
time.
- Fixed tests in sqlite_info.t to work properly on Windows.
0.29 2004-11-20T00:09:22
- Added App::Info::RDBMS::SQLite to the MANIFEST so that it will
actually show up in the distribution!
0.28 2004-11-19T23:35:25
- Added App::Info::RDBMS::SQLite.
0.27 2004-11-19T02:27:50
- Now using quotes when passing an executable path to `` in the
Apache and PostgreSQL libraries so that they work properly when
there are spaces in the path (such as on Windows). Reported by
Geoff Richards.
- Added "configure()" method to the PostgreSQL library. From the
DBD::Pg project.
- Added Windows support to the PostgreSQL module.
0.26 2004-11-03T17:53:58
- Added new path to list of paths to search for PostgreSQL. The new
path, /usr/lib/postgresql/bin, is used by at least one Debian package.
Submitted by Cinly Ooi.
- Added support for Apache on Windows. Patch from Ron Savage.
0.25 Thu Dec 11 20:50:43 2004
- Fixed parsing of version numbers for new releases of PostgreSQL,
which don't include the ".0" patch version in their version numbers.
0.24 Tue Aug 26 00:58:55 2004
- Fixed broken link in App::Info::Request documentation.
- Added PostgreSQL environment variables to the paths to search
for pg_config in App::Info::RDBMS::PostgreSQL. Patch from
Greg Sabino Mullane.
- Added handling of PostgreSQL beta version numbers to
App::Info::RDBMS::PostgreSQL. Patch from Greg Sabino Mullane.
- Switched to Module::Build.
0.23 Thu Aug 8 19:32:42 2002
- Fixed tests that check Apache info events so that they're more
flexible about the name of the Apache executable. Thanks to Dave
Rolsky for the spot.
- Fixed "NAME" section in App::Info::Request so that it has the right
name and therefore renders properly on search.cpan.org.
- Updated or added "BUGS" section of documentation in all modules to
point to the CPAN Request Tracker.
0.22 Wed Jul 3 17:31:53 2002
- Fixed tests that use Handler::Prompt so that they fake it into
always thinking there's a TTY.
0.21 Tue Jul 2 19:14:44 2002
- Fixed bug in Handler::Prompt where the prompt failed to simply
return when the user accepted the default value (with confirm
events).
- Changed email address in AUTHOR section so that it's a link.
- Added tests for confirm events.
0.20 Thu Jun 27 20:28:34 2002
- Major upgrade. Some backwards compatibility broken. Namely, the
error parameter no longer exists. See event handling instead.
- Added App::Info::Handler. Classes derived from this class handle
events triggered by App::Info subclasses.
- Added event handling methods to App::Info base class. The methods
are on_info(), on_error(), on_unknown(), and on_confirm(). They
have constructor parameters, too, of the same names. Pass in a
list of event handlers to any one of these methods to handle
events of that type.
- Added example event handling classes. They are
App::Info::Handler::Carp, App::Info::Handler::Print, and
App::Info::Handler::Prompt. Objects of these classes may be passed
to any of the event handling methods listed above.
- Added App::Info::Request. Objects of this class are passed to event
handler objects' handler() method as the sole argument. The request
object holds significant information about the request so that a
handler knows what to do with a a request.
- Added protected event triggering methods to App::Info. These are
info(), error(), unknown(), and confirm(). If a subclass calls one
of these methods, a request will be created and passed off to the
list of available handlers (if any) to process the request and,
in the case of unknown() and confirm(), return data to the App::Info
subclass.
- Refactored example subclasses to use the new event methods. Changed
subclasses are App::Info::HTTPD::Apache, App::Info::RDBMS::PostgreSQL,
App::Info::Lib::Expat, and App::Info::Lib::Iconv.
- Wrote extensive documentation describing how to use the event methods
both in App::Info subclasses and in App::Info clients.
- Incremented all version numbers to 0.20.
- Wrote extensive tests to test all features.
0.13 Sat Jun 8 21:17:40 2002
- Fixed Lib::Iconv so that version() would properly return undef when
no include directory was found.
0.12 Sat Jun 8 20:32:38 2002
- Now more silly-proof! Fixed util.t test so that people who actually
have directories named, e.g., "/foo", will still have their tests
pass. Thanks to Arthur Bergman for the spot.
- Fixed Lib::Expat so that version() would properly return undef when
no include directory was found. Thanks to Arthur Bergman for the spot.
- Fixed $VERSION in Info.pm to be available to pre-5.6.0 perls.
0.11 Sat Jun 8 05:49:40 2002
- Improved validation for the error_level parameter.
- In distribution tests, no longer testing to see that user and group
methods in HTTP::Apache return values when Apache is installed, as
sometimes folks don't have User and Group directives set in their
httpd.conf files. Grrr...
- Fixed bare word references in Makefile.PL.
0.10 Wed Jun 5 23:58:54 2002
- 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 metadata
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.
0.06 Wed Jun 5 15:36:36 2002
- Fixed all version tests in test scripts to check for definedness
rather than truth, so that version numbers that are "0" will be
ok. Thanks to Andy Lester for the spot.
- Util now properly loads File::Spec rather than File::Spec::Functions.
- Changed how the version number gets stored in Lib::Expat so that it
only gets saved if all three version number parts are found.
0.05 Wed Jun 5 00:01:57 2002
- Eliminated possible "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)
or string" warning from Lib::Expat.
- Eliminated possible "Use of uninitialized value in hex" warning from
Lib::Iconv.
- Fixed issue where RDBMS::PostgreSQL would try to execute pg_config
even when it didn't exist.
- Added To Do list.
- Made iconv.t and expat.t tests for version numbers safer for CPAN
distribution. Patches with improved methods of determining version
numbers for those libraries are welcome.
0.04 Tue Jun 4 01:03:58 2002
- Wrote documentation on subclassing App::Info.
- Added httpd_root() abstract method to App::Info::HTTPD abstract
base class.
- Added httpd_conf(), user(), group(), and port() methods to
App::Info::HTTPD::Apche.
- Added and corrected documentation in App::Info::HTTPD,
App::Info::RDBMS, and App::Info::Lib.
- Made minor documentation fixes to other classes.
- Fixed methods in App::Info::Util to return undef in a scalar context
if there were no regular expression matches.

- Private release.
- Changed first_cat_file() to first_cat_path() in App::Info::Util.
