Changes for version 3.00

  • New Feature: added debug option
  • Make default msgs in "new" constructor work as it was supposed it 2.11_04
  • Bug Fix: missing_optional_valid now works better when the input data comes from a CGI.pm or Apache::Request object (David Ranney)
  • Upload.pm syntax updated to no longer require Perl 5.6+ syntax
  • New Feature: Upload.pm now first tries to use File::MMagic and MIME::Type
  • to more intelligently determine the file type and an appropriate extension.

Changes for version 2.11_04

  • Major documentation overhaul. It should now be easier to browse and grok.
  • New Feature: defaults can be passed to new() that will be used for all forms made from that object.
  • New Feature: Added support for quoting regular expressions using "qr" instead of defining them as strings. This is now the preferred method. Defining regular expressions as strings is deprecated but supported.
  • New Feature: Friendly die statements when you have typos in filter and constraint names. (Instead of mysterious suicide).
  • Fixed syntax error in Upload.pm documentation
  • Bug Fix: error checking in valid_file_format in Upload.pm
  • Bug Fix: fixed bug related to returning constraint names introduced in 2.11_03.

Changes for version 2.11_03

  • The code has now been reorganized, following the module of HTML::FormValidator. Filters, Constraints, and Results are now all handled in their own modules.
  • The "msgs" error functional has now been re-designed, and is not backwards compatible. Feedback on this experimental addition is encouraged.
  • New Feature: Added ConstraintsFactory.pm module to distribution

Changes for version 2.11_02

  • New Feature: Support for Apache::Request objects
  • New Feature: Now when constraint_regexp_map is used and one or more constraints is already defined, the new matching constraint is added to the list of constraints applied, rather than superceding the old one.

Changes for version 2.11_01

  • New Feature: Added Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Upload to the distribution.
  • New Feature: Added Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Dates to the distribution.
  • The functionality of returning errors with the experimental msgs feature has changed a bit. Now if you define multiple constraints, the messages will always be returned as an array reference, instead of when only there was more than one message. This should improve integration with HTML::Template.
  • New Feature: When using multiple constraints defined as hash references, the "name" attribute will default to name of the constraint, if it is being called by name.
  • added documentation for writing your own validation routines.
  • New Feature: Added 'valid' accessor/mutator method to manage and manipulate the result set. This can be useful to modify the result set from within a constraint.
  • New Feature: Added "constraint_method" as an alternative to "constraint" in the hash-based constraint definition. Related to this, there are new accessor methods for use inside of custom constraints: get_input_data(); get_current_constraint_field(); get_current_constraint_value();
    • This whole arrangement brings support for multi-valued constraints with constraint_regexp_map
  • various documentation clean ups
