and ${BUILDLINK_LIBDIR} to find headers and libraries. Note that this
package uses libtool with USE_LIBTOOL and LTCONFIG_OVERRIDE. Look for
tputs() in libtermcap. Add patch to ensure that the proper LDFLAGS are
passed when linking the executable.
Changelog:
0.1.6-1
* Changed --summary to a toggle so you can use "todo -s" to switch it on or off.
This minimises the use of the shift key ;).
* Uncommented two lines so that --priority works once more when editing items.
* Added RPMage.
0.1.6
* When creating backups, I now make the backed up databases read-only if
--paranoid is specified.
* A slight modification to the BASH shell script to make it more compatible
(courtesy of Arthur).
* Added -S/--summary (and -s/--no-summary to override it if 'summary' is the
default in ~/.todorc) which only displays the first line of todo items. This
is handy if, like me, you have numerous multi-line items. The shell scripts
use this by default now, meaning when you cd into a directory only the first
line of each item will be shown (handy for a quick...summary).
* Added --timeout [<seconds>] option. When no second are specified, todo will
only display the database if it hasn't been displayed within a number of
seconds (also specified by using --timeout, but *with* a number of seconds).
For example, by putting this in your ~/.todorc: "timeout 10", then adding
"--timeout" when you run devtodo, the database will only be displayed if
it hasn't been displayed within 10 seconds. The shell scripts have been
updated to use this facility. The access time is used to determine when the
database was last used (stat.st_atime).
* Unified formatting strings into one location and added the generic option
--format <tag>=<format-string> to modify them as well as the option
--use-format <tag>=<tag> to use them. eg.
todo --use-format verbose-display=generated
* Now attempts to obtain the width of the current terminal from the termcap
database (if compile fails (please send me a bug report, and...) re-run
./configure with the --without-termcap option).
* Added a '%s' output formatting flag which formats item text the same as is
done with --summary.
* You can use the (undocumented) --dump-config option to dump the current
config to stdout. This should be usable as a ~/.todorc file pretty much
as is. Handy to use as a base for your own modifications.
* Fixed a minor bug where invalid numeric priority exceptions weren't being
caught.
* Added "title" as a defineable colour, seperate from the "info" colour.
* Integrated some Debian Makefile mojo (thanks go to Arthur Korn).
* Fixed --paranoid behaviour. The logic to check permissions had become
commented out in the move to multiple loaders.
* Added an "exec" command to the ~/.todorc. This can be used to execute
shell commands from within devtodo, although it's really only useful in
conjunction with triggers (see below). In addition, the environment variable
TODODB will contain the name of the current database.
* Added event "triggers". These are useful for modifying the behaviour of
devtodo. A perfect example of a use for this is to trap the "create" trigger
so that when a new database is created todo will remove world and group
permissions from it. eg.
on create {
verbose
exec chmod 600 $TODODB
}
* Modified Makefile.am in src and doc to support relocatable installs (via
automakes DESTDIR variable).
0.1.5-1
* Fixed a nasty Makefile bug that can, under certain circumstances, cause
the build/install to fail.
o add quoting to MAKE_ENV
o add patch-aa to install scripts to PREFIX/share/examples/devtodo
instead of hardcoded SYSCONFDIR/profile.d
o install todorc into PREFIX/share/examples/devtodo instead of
PREFIX/etc/todorc
o update to version 0.1.5:
* Added a binary database format. The default is still XML, but you can
change this using the new --database-loaders option. You can transparently
convert your existing XML databases to binary format (or vice-versa) by
simply changing the load order. For example, to change from XML to binary,
put this in your ~/.todorc: database-loaders binary,xml
The next time you modify an XML format database, it will be saved in binary
format. The man page has more information. I recommend only using the binary
format if you are actually having performance problems, as if something
goes awry, manually fixing the XML database is *much* easier. But if you do
use it, it might be an idea to use it in conjunction with --backup.
* Added user-defineable formatting for both display output and TODO generated
output. This is cool. Look for the section FORMATTING in the man page.
* Added a new filter, which I've wanted for ages. It constists of a single '-',
'+' or '='. A '-' stops display of all items except those explicitly specified
in the rest of the filter whereas a '+' overrides all other filters to display
all items. A '=' is the default behaviour. This is brilliant if you want
to narrow the view down to just one item: todo --filter -,29 (*Note*: Slightly
superceded by the modification to the semantics of numeric filters, which now
display *only* the numbers specified if the = (or no) prefix is used - see
two points down for more information).
* Modified the numeric filters. Ranges can now be specified by doing this:
todo --filter 1-20. If a '-' sign precedes the range it explicitly excludes
all these items. This can also be used in most other places indices are used.
ie. todo --done 10.1-20 would mark items 10.1 through 10.20 as done.
* Modified behaviour of numeric filters slightly. If prefix is '=' or none,
*only* those items are displayed. Before, this was a nop.
* Patch to todorl.h courtesy of Philippe M. Chiasson that fixes compilation
problems on RH 7.0.
* Priority defaults to medium if a blank line is entered at the "priority>"
prompt (thanks to Alexei Gilchrist for this idea, along with quite a few
others :))
* Removed --fallback-database - the semantics were too clunky and generally
confusing.
* Added --global-database <filename> and -G,--global to replace
--fallback-database. Basically, you specify a file with --global-database
(defaults to ~/.todo_global) then whenever you pass -G or --global to todo it
will use the global database. Much simpler than the way --fallback-database
behaved. This idea was courtesy, once again, of Alexei Gilchrist. Good stuff!
* todo can now automatically backup the database to a user specified number
of levels. Use the option --database [<n>] to do this, where <n> is the
optional number of revisions to keep (defaults to 1). This option is best
specified in your ~/.todorc.
* Numbers can once again be used to specify priorities when entering them from
the 'priority>' prompt (requested by Alexei Gilchrist).
