Changes for version 0.009.0 - 2026-09-23
- Enhancements
- Added a bar chart (GET /bar). Choose a categorical column and an optional numeric value column (omit to count rows per category); the chart uses HTML::D3 >= 0.18's new render_bar_chart_snippet. A "Bar chart..." toolbar button opens a configuration panel identical in style to the pie/graph/heatmap panels. Requires HTML::D3 >= 0.18.
- Bar chart drill-down: clicking any bar navigates to the source table filtered to that category, with a "Back to bar chart" breadcrumb link so the user can return to the chart.
- Pie and bar chart drill-down breadcrumbs now work correctly when the source table was opened via GET /import (URL import). The middle breadcrumb links back to the unfiltered imported table (clearing any active filter), and the third crumb links back to the chart. Previously the back2/back2_label parameters were silently discarded by import_url, so the chart back-link never appeared.
- Data tables now scroll horizontally when the number of columns exceeds the screen width. The table is wrapped in a div.table-scroll container (overflow-x: auto) so the toolbar and breadcrumbs stay at full width while only the table body scrolls.
- Bug Fixes
- Fixed a test failure on CPAN testers running CGI::Lingua < 0.67 where language negotiation for non-English Accept-Language headers returned the wrong result. Minimum CGI::Lingua version is now 0.85.
- Fixed non-ASCII EM-dash and currency characters in source comments and one runtime error message in Dashboard.pm, which could produce mojibake on systems that interpret .pm files as Latin-1.
- IPC::System::Simple is now declared as a runtime dependency (PREREQ_PM) in addition to a test dependency, because DataSource.pm uses "use autodie qw(:all)" at compile time on every server startup.
