Changes for version 0.69 - 2002-09-11

  • Overall:
    • Add new tool (SPOPS::Tool::DateConvert) to convert a date into a date object on object fetch().
    • Add tests for SPOPS::Export implementations and add features to loopback tester.
    • Other small bugfixes.
  • Individual:
    • SPOPS.pm:
      • Add USE_CACHE() and set_global_use_cache() methods, which checks and sets caching for all SPOPS objects in a process. Add docs about caching.
    • SPOPS/ClassFactory/DefaultBehavior.pm:
      • In conf_modify_config() - ensure that the 'field' property is an arrayref before derefenecing.
    • SPOPS/Loopback.pm:
      • fetch(), fetch_group(), save() and remove() will now interact with simple in-memory storage so we can be a little trickier with testing
      • Add peek() for testing purposes.
      • fetch_group() allows simple querying of in-memory storage (only of the type field = value)
      • Add fetch_iterator() which just wraps the result of fetch_group() in a SPOPS::Iterator::WrapList object
    • SPOPS/Tool/DateConvert.pm:
      • Add new tool for converting dates into object (Class::Date or Time::Piece) on fetch and into date string in save.
    • SPOPS/Tool/DBI/Datasource.pm:
      • Check for valid info should only ensure that DSN and username are defined. An empty password should be ok. (Thanks to Ray Zimmerman for the bug report.)
    • SPOPS/Utility.pm:
      • Modify format for today() to be %Y-%m-%d (Thanks to Swen Thuemmler (swen@mediaways.net) for pointing it out.)
    • t/41_ldap_inline_config.t:
      • Create simple test for inlining an LDAP configuration.
    • t/52_rule_date_convert.t:
      • Add tests for SPOPS::Tool::DateConvert
    • t/[60_export_object.t,61_export_xml.t,62_export_perl.t, 63_export_sql.t,64_export_dbdata.t]:
      • Add tests for various SPOPS::Export implementations
