2.26
- fixed invalid regexp in _open() which circumvented
explicit empty block to work when the block statement
included whitespaces.
- more finetuning in Makefile.PL for cleaning emacs'
~ files.
2.25
- fixed bug with not working -IncludeRelative setting when
including a config file. It were only included from the
location relative to the underlying config if it were
non-existent. reported by Dmitry Koteroff <dmitry@koteroff.ru>.
- applied patch by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>
which adds the -BackslashEscape parameter to enable
general escaping of special characters using the
backslash.
- fixed bug reported by Harold van Oostrom <cpan@lanceerplaats.nl>:
according to the documentation one can call new() with
a hash-ref as its single parameter which would then
used as the config. This didn't work and were fixed.
- added feature suggested by Eric Andreychek <eric@openthought.net>:
now block statements like this are allowed: "<directory blah/>"
which is called an explicit empty block. This generates just
an empty hash-ref and saves writing. In fact, internally it
will be converted to:
<directory blah>
</directory>
- fixed Makefile.PL: it cleans now files generated by 'make test'
properly. reported by: Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker <ilmari@ilmari.org>
- updated MANIFEST (in fact I did this some years ago the last time!)
also reported by: Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker <ilmari@ilmari.org>
2.24
- fixed Bug #3869 (rt.cpan.org) reported by
"Mike Depot" <mdepot@comcast.net>
- applied patch by Roland Huss <Roland.Huss@consol.de>,
which fixes a bug with the -Tie option, sub-hashes of
named blocks were not properly created (in fact, not
tied).
- added documentation to Interpolated.pm that it does not
interpolate variables in keys, see bug #3773 (rt.cpan.org).
2.23
- still versioning problem, stupid white man ;-)
Extended.pm is now 2.00 which *is* higher than 1.10.
2.22
- incremented all version numbers because of cpan problem.
no further changes. See Bug #3347 (rt.cpan.org).
2.21
- fixed bug in new() used $this instead of $self for empty
hashref creation if no config file given.
2.20
- fixed bug reported by Stefano di Sandro <stedis@ulis.it>: in
OOP mode (extended access) the obj() method returned the whole
config object if the given key does not exist. Now it returns
a new empty object.
- added patch by David Dick <david_dick@iprimus.com.au> which
sets $/ if it is unset.
- added patch by David Dick <david_dick@iprimus.com.au> which
calls the binmode() function in case the modules is being
used under win32 systems. Read perldoc -f binmode for more
informations on this issue.
- added feature suggested by Chase Phillips <cmp@uiuc.edu>:
the new() method has a new parameter -Tie which takes the
name of a Tie class that each new hash should be based off
of. This makes it possible to create a config hash with
ordered contents across nested structures.
2.19
- forgot to import 'catfile' from File::Spec. Bug reported by
various people.
- applied patch by Peter Tandler <Peter.Tandler@ipsi.fhg.de>
which adds a search-path feature for include files.
- applied patch by David Dick <david_dick@iprimus.com.au> which
adds an auto launder capability to the module which makes it
possible to use variables read by Config::General in a
tainted perlscript (executed with -T) for open(), backtick calls
or something which the taintmode considers to be dangerous.
2.18
- fixed Bug #2325 (rt.cpan.org). The subs exported by File::Spec
will now imported explicitly.
- fixed warning about double my'ed variable $dummi, changed it
to undef because it was unused anyway.
2.17
- added File::Spec support which makes the modules more portable
(i.e. on win32 systems),
as suggested by Peter Tandler <Peter.Tandler@ipsi.fhg.de>.
2.16
- applied patch by Michael Gray <mjg17@eng.cam.ac.uk> which
fixes a bug in the Interpolate.pm submodule. A second variable,
when immediately following the first, did not get interpolated,
i.e. ${var1}${var2}.
2.15 - fixed Bug in SaveConfig***, which didn't work.
- applied patch by Robb Canfield <robb@canfield.com>,
which fixes a bug in the variable interpolation
scheme. It did not interpolate blocks nor
blocknames. This patch fixes this. Patch slightly
modified by me(interpolation on block and blocknames).
- enhanced test for variable interpolation to
reflect this.
- added check if a named block occurs after the underlying
block is already an array, which is not possible.
perl cannot add a hashref to an array. i.e.:
<bl>
a = 1
</bl>
<bl>
b = 1
</bl>
<bl blubber>
c = 1
</bl>
As you can see, "<bl>" will be an array, and "blubber"
cannot be stored in any way on this array.
The module croaks now if such construct occurs.
2.14 - fixed bug reported by Francisco Olarte Sanz
<folarte@peoplecall.com>, which caused _parse to
ignore blocks with the name "0":
<0> .. </0>, because it checked just if $block (the name
between < and >) is true, and from the perl point
of view "0" is not. Changed it to check for defined.
Normally I avoid using 'defined' but in this case
it will not be possible that $block contains the
empty string, so defined is ok here.
2.13 - fixed bug reported by Steffen Schwigon <schwigon@webit.de>.
the parser was still active inside a here-doc, which
cause weird results if the here-doc contained
multiple <<XXX strings.
this bug has been fixed by re-organizing the _read()
method. now the parser is only active outside of
here-docs.
- here-doc parsing bug fixed, which ignored the
-SplitPolicy settings completely, now it is aware
of the split policy
2.12 - fixed cpan bugid #1768, stuff inside a hash given
by the -DefaultConfig parameter was ignored by
the new interpolation code, this has been fixed.
- fixed another bug in the new interpolation code,
which made variable global, the variable scope
were ignored. Now a special constructed hash
exists, which makes sure, that variables only
valid within its correct scope.
2.11 - heavy change in the variable interpolation code.
Peter Sergeant <pete@clueball.com> reported this
mis-behavior. The problem was that the whole hash
was feeded to ::Interpolated.pm, but as we all
know, perl hashes doesn't preserve the order. So,
in our case the module sometimes was unable to
resolve variablenames, because they were stored
in a different location as it occured in the config.
The change is, that Config::General now calls
::Interpolate.pm (new sub: _interpolate()) itself
directly on a per-key/value pair basis. The internal
varstack is now stored on $this globally. So, now
a variable will be known when it occurs. period :-)
2.10 - added -StrictVars documentation section to the POD,
which was missing.
- fixed a formatting error in the POD documentation.
2.09 - added bugfix in '#' comment parsing. If current state
was within a block, then /^ #/ was not ignored as
comment but instead added as variable. Reported by
Lupe Christoph <lupe@lupe-christoph.de>
- added -StrictObjects parameter support in the following
::Extended methods: hash() and value().
- added better parameter checks in the ::Extended::obj()
method. Its now no more possible to create a new (sub-)
object from an undefined key or a key which does not
point to a hash reference.
- simplified storing of ConfigFile and ConfigHash in new()
removed my variable $configfile.
- the original parameter list will now be saved, which is
required for ::Extended to create new objects with the
same config as their parents.
2.08 - added option -StrictVars, which causes Interpolate.pm to
ignore undefined variables and replaces such occurences
with the emppty string.
- applied patch by Stefan Moser <sm@open.ch>, which fixes
some weird bevavior if -MergeDuplicateOptions was turned
on, the parser croaked regardless -MergeDuplicateBlocks
was set or not. Now the two options behave almost independent
from each other, which allows one to merge duplicate
blocks but duplicate options not.
- changed behavior of setting -MergeDuplicateOptions which
implied in previous versions -AllowMultiOptions to be
false. Now this will only be done if the user does not
set -AllowMultiOptions by himself. This allows one to
have duplicate blocks which will be turned into an
array but duplicate options to be merged.
- applied patch by Matthias Pitzl <matthias@izb.net>, which
fixes a bug at parsing apache-like include directive
(Include ...). It did not properly trim unnecessary whitespaces
so that the filename to be included became invalid. This
bug espessially occurred if one saved a hash containing
a key/value pair like this: "Include" => "/etc/grs.cfg",
which was then saved as "Include /etc/grs.cfg", the
parser returned " /etc/grs.cfg" which, of course, does
not exists. odd...
2.07 - fixed cpan bugid #1351, SaveConfig contained a deprecated
function call which caused the module to croak.
- added feature request, if in extended mode (OOP turned
on with -ExtendedAccess => 1 access to non-existent keys
caused a croak. While this is still the default behavior
it is now possible to turn this off using -StrictObjects => 0.
- added this to the related pod section in ::Extended.
- fixed bug in new() which caused a couple of errors
if the ConfigFile parameter is not set, or is set to
undef. In this case it will now simply create an empty
object.
- fixed related bug in save_file() which will save "" to
a file now if the config is uninitialized (i.e. the case
mentioned below arrived).
2.06 - added -SplitPolicy, -SplitDelimiter and -StoreDelimiter
- removed whitespace support in keys in the default parser
SplitPolicy 'guess', which was introduced in 2.02. Now
I (re-)use the old regex I used before. if you need
whitespaces in keys, use 'equalsign' as SplitPolicy.
- the write_scalar() method uses the StoreDelimiter for
separating options from values.
- added -CComments to make it possible to turn c-comment
parsing off.
- added support for FileHandle objects as parameter to the
-ConfigFile parameter. This makes it possible to use locking.
2.05 - fixed bug in ::Extended. It exported for some weird
reason I cant remember all of its methods. This included
keys() exists() and delete(), which are perl internals.
If one used keys() on a normal hash, then the ::Extended
own keys() were used instead of perls own one. I removed
the export line.
2.04 - added RFE from rt.cpan.org (ID: 1218). the ::Interpolate
module populates now uses of uninitialized variables in
config files itself instead of just letting perl die().
The other suggestion of the RFE was declined.
2.03 - fixed bug in the _parse() routine (better: design flaw).
after the last patch for allowing whitespaces in
option names, it had a problem with here-docs which
contained equal signs. option/value splitting resulted
in weird output.
- as a side effect of the bug fix below it is now
possible to use equal signs inside quoted values, which
will then be ignored, thus not used for splitting
the line into an option/value assignment.
- added a new test, which tests for all possible notations
of option/value lines.
2.02 - added patch by Jens Heunemann, which allows to use
whitespaces in option names.
- changed the save() calls in the test script (t/run.t)
to save_file()
- removed new() from ::Interpolated and ::Extended.
This may break existing code (they will need to
move to the flags of Config::General::new() ), but
this decision must be made. The problem was that
both the old way of directly using the subclasses
and the enw way did not work together. So, now
subclasses are only method holders and used by
Config::General on request. Direct use of subclasses
is prohibited. (you receive a warning if you do).
2.01 - added -ConfigFile (in replace for -file) and
-ConfigHash (in replace for -hash) to get a consistent
parameter naming scheme. The old names are still
supported for backward compatibility, but no more
documented.
- the parameter -BaseHash has been dropped because
-DefaultConfig already has the capabilities of
defining a custom backing hash. The pod section for
-DefaultConfig has been enhanced to reflect this.
- README changed something. Removed the 'small' keyword,
because the module isn't really small anymore :-)
At least IMHO.
2.00 - fixed a bug in the ::Extended::keys() method, which
caused a beloved "use of uninitialized ..." message.
Reported by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>.
- Removed all deprecated methods (in fact, they are still
there for shouting out a warn that its deprecated. But
the pod sections are removed. These are NoMultiOptions()
and save().
- added two new parameters to new(): -InterPolateVars and
-ExtendedAccess, which allows one to use the functionalites
of the supplied submodules without the need to decide
for one of them. This makes it possible to use variable
interpolation and oop access in the same time. Suggested
by Jared Rhine <jared@wordzoo.com>.
- added new parameter -BaseHash which makes it possible
to supply your own hash which stores the parsed contents
of the config. This can be a tied hash o the like.
Suggested by Jared Rhine <jared@wordzoo.com> too.
- switched to release 2.00 because the above is a major
change.
1.36 - simplified new() parameter parsing, should be now a little
bit better to understand.
- added new parameter -DefaultConfig, which can hold a hashref
or a string, which will be used to pre-define values
of the resulting hash after parsing a config.
Thanks to Mark Hampton <mark.hampton@qualis.com> for the
suggestion.
- added new parameter -MergeDuplicateOptions, which allows
one to overwrite duplicate options, which is required,
if you turn on -DefaultConfig, because otherwise a
array would be created, which is probably not what you
wanted.
- added patch by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>
to Config::General::Extended::keys(), which allows to
retrieve the keys of the object itself (which was not
directly possible before)
- added patch by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>
to Config::General::Extended::value(), which allows to
set a value to a (perlish-) nontrue value. This was a
bug.
- added patch by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>
to Config::General::_parse_value, which fixes a bug in
this method, which in prior versions caused values of
"0" (zero digit) to be wiped out of the config.
- added tests in t/run.t for the new default config feature.
1.35 - the here-doc identifier in saved configs will now created
in a way which avoids the existence of this identifier
inside the here-doc, which if it happens results in
weird behavior in the resulting config.
1.34 - Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au> reported a bug
in _store(), which caused the module to create scalar
entries even if the entry contained newlines. While
Danial supplied a patch to fix this - thx(TM) - I
did not apply it, because I "outsourced" this kind of
stuff to the subroutine _write_scalar(), see next.
- added internal methods _write_scalar() and _write_hash()
to simplify _store(), which did the same thing more
than once, which is a good time to create a sub which
does the job.
- fixed cut'n paste bug in General/Extended.pm reported by
Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>, which caused
Config::General::Extended::is_scalar() to return true even
when the key you pass in is an array.
- added new method Config::General::Extended::delete() suggested
by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>, which deletes
the given key from the config.
1.33 - fixed bug in _parse_value() which caused perl to complain
with "Use of uninitialized value in..." if a value was
empty.
1.32 - *argl* ... I forgot Interpolated.pm, don't know how that
could happen, in 1.29 it was "lost". However -
I added it again now.
- added patch by Peder Stray <peder@linpro.no> to
the _store() method, which makes it possible to catch
arrays of hashes to be stored correctly.
- cleaned up the t/run.t testscript to reflect the
changes (in fact I did not touch it since 1.18 or so).
- added test number 16 to test variable interpolation
using ::Interpolated in t/run.t.
- fixed bug with new() parameter -AllowMultiOptions which
generated a croak() if set to something other than "no".
- changed Extended::save() to reflect the API change,
it calls now save_file().
1.31: - i'm such a moron ... I forgot to do a make clean
in 1.30, pf. So this is 1.31, which is clean.
1.30: - fixed typo, which made 1.29 unusable (undefined var %config)
- added code to check if unknown parameters to new()
has been supplied.
1.29:
- added 2 procedural functions ParseConf and SaveConf
- added new parameters -AutoTrue and -FlagBits
- added save_file() which replaces save(), which was
weird implemented. If the user only supplied a hash
as parameter to save(), then the first key was
used as the filename and the rest was used
as a config hash (which was then of an uneven size).
- save_file() takes now instead of a hash a hash-ref
and a filename. And the hashref is optional, since
the object already contains a complete hash.
- new method save_string() added, which returns the
ready generated string instead of writing it to
disk. The user can then save it himself.
- POD updated.
1.28:
- added contributed sub module Config::General::Interpolated
by "Wei-Hon Chen" <plasmaball@pchome.com.tw> with
help from "Autrijus Tang" <autrijus@autrijus.org>
which makes it possible to use variables inside
config files.
- _read() accepts now c-comments inside c-comments if
they are on a single line.
- _read() is now more tolerant to here-identifiers
(the ends of here-docs), whitespaces right after
such an identifier are allowed (i.e. "EOF ").
- _read() does now behave somewhat different with
C-comments, they will be the first thing being
processed in a config, so the parser really
ignores everything inside C-comments. Previously
it did not do that, for example here-docs has
not been ignored.
1.27: - "make test" complained about uninitialized value
in :146, which is now fixed.
1.26: - added filehandle capability to -file.
- added -String parameter to new(), which allows
one to supply the whole config as a string.
- added -MergeDuplicateBlocks option, which causes
duplicate blocks to be merged.
1.25: - include statements are now case insensitive
- include statements may now also being used with
indentation(leading and following whitespaces are
allowed)
- changed the end here-doc regexp from .+? to \S+?
so " <<include..." works as expected (this was a bug, imo)
- added new option -IncludeRelative (idea contributed
by Valerio_Valdez Paolini <paolini@students.cs.unibo.it>
and Anton Luht <luht@ank.ru> :-)
This allows to include files from the location of
the configfile instead from the working directory.
1.24: - AllowMultiOptions printed out the value and not the
option itself, if more than one of this particular
option occured.
- added -UseApacheInclude feature, contributed by
Thomas Klausner <domm@zsi.at>
- fixed bug with multiple options stuff, which did not
work with blocks or named blocks. Pointed out by
Thomas Klausner <domm@zsi.at>, who meant it being
feature request, but in fact it was a bug (IMHO).
- Config::General does now contain also it's OO-sister
Config::General::Extended, which is from now on
no more available as an extra module, because it
lived a shadowy existence.
- finally(!) created a Changelog file (this one, yes).
1.23: - fixed bug, which removed trailing or leading " even
no matching " was there.
1.22: - added a new option to new(): -LowerCaseNames, which
lowercases all option-names (feature request)
1.21: - lines with just one "#" became an option array named
"#" with empty entries, very weird, fixed
1.20: - added an if(exists... to new() for checking of the
existence of -AllowMultiOptions.
- use now "local $_" because it caused weird results
if a user used $_ with the module.
1.19: - you can escape "#" characters using a backslash: "\#"
which will now no more treated as a comment.
- comments inside here-documents will now remain in the
here-doc value.
history logs 1.17+1.18 are lost in space :-(
