Changes for version 1.66_01 - 2015-01-10

  • First dev release, to check that everything's ok.
  • ABW granted co-maint, so I could set up a github repo and do a release with it linked. Thanks to ABW, ADAMK, and MST.
  • Version 1.66 Date: 2007/07/06 (Andy Wardley)
  • Removed File::HomeDir from the test scripts.
  • Version 1.65 Date: 2007/05/30 (Andy Wardley)
  • Changed meaning of '~' interpolation to mean $ENV{HOME} rather than $ENV{HOME} or wherever File::HomeDir thinks your home directory is. This allows us to remove the dependency on File::HomeDir which was causing insallation problems (particularly on Mac OSX), and led to a long dependency chain for AppConfig and other modules that rely on it (like Template Toolkit).
  • Version 1.64 Date: 2007/01/02 (Adam Kennedy)
  • Bug fix to prevent crashing for users with no home directory
  • Increase File::HomeDir dep to 0.61 which supports no home directory cases properly.
  • Version 1.63 Date: 2006/08/03 (Adam Kennedy)
  • Unified version numbers and removed repository magic
  • Removed "use warnings" to get the Perl version dependency back to 5.005
  • Removed "use base Exporter" which doesn't always work
  • Use File::HomeDir to find $HOME instead of doing it ourself, sorta
  • Fixed a POD bug in AppConfig::Sys and added a 99_pod.t test
  • Added a LICENSE file
  • Version 1.56 Date: 2004/02/04
  • Applied a patch from Jianhong Feng to add "heredoc" style quoting.
  • Applied patch from Dave Viner to AppConfig::Sys to fix problems on Win32. Thanks also to Ijon Tichy for a similar patch.
  • Applied patch from Axel Gerstmair to prevent undefined variable warnings in block.t test.
  • Version 1.55 Date: 2003/04/29
  • Fixed version numbers of various files which had got out-of-step with CPAN.
  • Version 1.54 Date: 2003/04/29
  • Added POSIX style '=value' suffixes to --parameters. Thus '--foo=bar' is now equivalent to '-foo bar'.
  • Added AppConfig::CGI module to parse CGI script parameters.
  • Added cgi() delegate method to AppConfig to instantiate and call AppConfig::CGI.
  • Added CGI documentation and cleaned up copious typos, grammos and thinkos.
  • Applied documentation patches from Tim Mooney.
  • Fixed missing '>' tyop which caused POD to complain. Thanks to David Cantrell and many others for reporting it.
  • Applied patch from Steven McDowall to provide default options for LIST and HASH data types.
  • Applied patch from Robert Goff to allow '$' to be escaped (e.g. \$) to suppress variable expansion in files.
  • Applied patch from John Salmon to allow comments to appear anywhere on a line, not just at the beginning.
  • Version 1.53 Date: not released
  • various changes, incorporated above.
  • Version 1.52 Date: 1998/10/29 11:44:23 Author: abw
  • Modified AppConfig::Getopt to work with Getopt::Long version 2.17, instead of the yet-to-be-released-as-of-29-Oct-1998 version 2.93 (3.00 beta). Getopt::Long version 3.00 offers object-orientation but will continue to be backwardly compatible with earlier versions. Thus, AppConfig::Getopt should continue with future versions of Getopt::Long. Nice one, Johan!
  • Added code to AppConfig::State::define() to handle the compact format. The ALIAS and ARGS options are extracted from it and the ARGCOUNT is determined from the ARGS parameter.
  • Added Getopt::Long version 2.17 as a dependency in Makefile.PL. Added documentation to note this and explain how to modify the Makefile.PL to avoid this check.
  • Added t/compact.t and expanded t/getopt.t test files.
  • Added documentation for AppConfig::Getopt use and the compact definition format.
  • Added documentation for +/- prefix format in configuration files.
  • Other minor documentation fixes.
  • Version 1.51 Date: 1998/10/22 09:22:53 Author: abw
  • Added '+variable' (set on) and '-variable' (reset to 0 or default) syntax for configuration files, as suggested by Chip Salzenberg.
  • Fixed auto-creation of variables that was generating two warning messages each time.
  • Removed some straggling references to the AppConfig::Const module.
  • Changed Makefile.PL to explicitly list MAN3PODS for all AppConfig::* modules. ExtUtils::MakeMaker ignores files that match the pattern /(config|setup).*\.pm/i; Thanks to Alex Medina for catching that.
  • Version 1.50 Date: 1998/10/21 09:28:15 Author: abw
  • Completed documentation.
  • First public beta release.
