module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.
addresses PR pkg/28619 from H. Todd Fujinaka.
Added a HOMEPAGE pointing into CPAN.
Change log:
3.31 Sun Sep 26, 2004
- Documentation clean-ups. No code changes.
3.30 Sun Sep 26, 2004
- Refactored test suite to use Test::More (Gabor Szabo)
- Removed warnings being emitted for documented API calls
- minor code clean-up to load_tmpl() (Emanuele Zeppieri)
- Support for passing multiple template paths to HTML::Template
(Michael Peters)
- Added error_mode to support trapping runmodes dying (Rob Kinyon)
- Added Plug-in related documentation. (Mark Stosberg)
- mode_param() updated to more easily set the run mode from
$ENV{PATH_INFO} (Mark Stosberg)
3.22 Fri Feb 13, 2004
- The nocgicarp flag introduced in 3.2 has now been removed due
to ill importing side effects. Instead, we now simply use Carp
instead of CGI::Carp. You must now explicitly load CGI::Carp if you want
it. Any code that used the brief-lived 'nocgicarp' feature will need to
be updated.
- Support for run modes named '0'. (Josh Glover)
3.21 Wed Feb 4, 2004
- Updated some header tests to be compatible with old and new versions of
CGI.pm, which handled the capitalization of the header differently.
(Mark Stosberg)
3.2 Sat Jan 31, 2004
- header_add() has been added to allow setting extra headers, particularly
cookies, after header_props has already been called (Cees Hek,
Mark Stosberg)
- CGI::Carp is now optional. See docs for details. (Steve Hay)
- Avoid 'unitialized value' warning on redirects (Cees Hek)
- Some tests added (Mark Stosberg)
- Updated documentation to use term "Run Mode" consistently, versus
"Run-Mode" with a dash. Run-mode-with-a-dash is dead. Don't revive it.
Also added mentions of the CGI::Application wiki and
CGI::Application::ValidateRM (Mark Stosberg)
- Fixed typo in cgiapp_postrun documentation (Steve Hay)
- Improved exception handling (Steve Hay)
- delete() method added to remove items stored using param()
(Michael Peters)
- 'CGI_APP_RETURN_ONLY' environment variable that is used for testing is now
documented (Michael Peters)
- dump_html() is now properly HTML-escaped (podmaster, Brian Cassidy)
- Migrated from Makefile.PL to Build.PL. Either can now be used for
installation.
- Updated 'Changes' file to put new releases on top.
3.1 Mon Jun 2 07:54:31 EDT 2003
- Changed dump_html default run mode to be referenced by name
instead of sub-ref. This allows dump_html() to be overridden
in sub-class.
- Added current run mode to output of dump() and dump_html().
(Thanks to Mark Stosberg for the suggestion.)
- Added example of doing an HTTP redirect (suggested by Sam Tregar)
- Fixed bug where non-CGI.pm query objects couldn't be set
at initialization time via the new() method. (Thanks to Steve
Hay for the catch.)
- Added header_type("none") to surpress HTTP header output.
(Thanks to Steve Comrie for the suggestion.)
- Numerous typos corrected in POD.
- Added cgiapp_postrun() hook. This hook allows run mode output
to be "pipelined" through optional filters, modifying the
content and HTTP headers if so desired.
3.0 Sat Feb 1 02:27:19 EST 2003
- Changed run_modes() method to allow list of run modes to be
designated via an array reference. This will automatically
create a run modes table which maps from a run mode to a
run mode method of the same name. Bumped major revision
number to reflect this significant change in functionality.
- Clarified license for module (GPL or Artistic). Included
licenses in distribution package.
2.6 Mon Oct 7 07:34:35 EDT 2002
- Changed the run() method to use Perl's built-in dynamic method
call for all run modes, whether by name or by code ref. This
is intended to improve run-time performance somewhat. Thanks
to Darin McBride for this patch.
- Added new override-able method cgiapp_get_query(). This method
is called when CGI::Application first needs access to the CGI
query object. By default, this is a CGI.pm object. It is
possible to override the cgiapp_get_query() method to return
an object of some other module besides CGI.pm, providing
that it is sufficiently compatible. Thanks to Eric Andreychek
for the suggestion and his help troubleshooting the code.
2.5 Thu Jul 18 07:45:47 EDT 2002
- Changed mailing list address. The new mailing list address.
To subscribe: cgiapp-subscribe@lists.erlbaum.net
To post message: cgiapp@lists.erlbaum.net
2.4 Sat May 25 13:32:44 EDT 2002
- Modified tmpl_path() to propagate to HTML::Template's PATH
parameter. This provides much more useful and intuitive
behavior. Thanks to Sam Tregar for the patch!
- Added prerun_mode() method to allow the run mode to be
dynamically changed inside the cgiapp_prerun() method.
Thanks to Steve Comrie for the suggestion of using a
method call for this function. Thanks to many other list
members for further refining this idea.
- Refactored some test cases, general code clean-up.
- Refactored POD a bit to make it less intimidating for
new users.
2.3 Mon May 6 07:12:09 EDT 2002
- Fixed minor bug in build system for older Perl versions.
2.2 Sun Aug 19 12:20:21 EDT 2001
- Added new module CGI::Application::Mailform as both an
example of how to use CGI::Application and a useful
(albeit simple) reusable web-based application.
- CGI::Application::Mailform allows the contents of
data submitted through HTML forms to be easily sent
via email to a specified recipient. This application
is intended to be very easy to reuse, yet secure
and functional enough to replace some of the most
onerous "mailform" scripts which have been floating
around the Internet for ages.
- Added cgiapp_prerun() hook, for adding global behaviors
before the run mode method is called. The cgiapp_prerun()
gets the name of the run mode as a parameter. This would
allow the user to perform some action based on the
current run mode.
- Enhanced capabilities for creating general superclasses for your projects.
- All run modes may be referenced by method name, in addition to subref.
- Created cgiapp_init() hook to allow for inherited common behaviors.
- Added ability to set mode_param() to use a call-back instance method
(specified by subref) instead of a CGI parameter.
- HTML::Template is now only loaded if load_tmpl() is called.
- Run-modes may now return scalar-refs in addition to scalars.
- Added new run-mode of last resort: "AUTOLOAD". See POD for usage.
- The param() method has been extended to allow multiple parameters
to be set at one time, via a hash (or hashref).
- Fixed bug in run() method where a null-string run-mode would be
considered valid. A zero-length run-mode will now result in the
start_mode() being called.
- The run_mode() method now may be called a subsequent time to
amend the list of run-modes.
- Bug fixed and documentation updated
Fixes PR/15221 by Shell Hung.
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
