# ChangeLog for Pod::Simple dist
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007-03-03 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
* Release 3.05
Standardized all test files on 8.3 naming scheme for Perl core.
Applied test patches from Jerry Hedden for Perl core when
Encode not installed.
Applied test patch from Ken Williams for 5.005_04 compatibility.
Applied a patch from Christopher Madsen to fix architecture
directory searches on Gentoo.
Fixed a failing search test on Debian-based distributions caused
by Debian stripping Pod documentation out of core modules.
(Three cheers to the CPAN testers and James Ponza for sending
enough reports that I could work out the pattern.)
2006-01-18 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
* Release 3.04
Applied test patches for Perl core integration from Steve Peters.
Added a 'reinit' method to Pod::Simple::BlackBox for Russ Allbery
so Pod::Man can provide backward compatibility to existing users
(such as Module::Build and ExtUtils::MakeMaker).
Applied patch for extracting case-preserved package names on VMS
from Craig Berry.
2005-11-21 Allison Randal <allison@perl.org>
* Release 3.03
Applied whitespace patches for Pod::Man and Pod::Text from
Russ Allbery.
Applied validation patches to Pod::Simple::HTML from Graham Barr.
2004-05-24 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 3.02
Just fixing some typos in the CSS generated by Pod::Simple:HTMLBatch.
2004-05-24 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 3.01
No big changes to the main modules, but there's many changes to
the important Pod::Simple::HTML module.
Also, new modules:
Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch
Pod::Simple::HTMLLegacy
Pod::Simple::Progress
Pod::Simple::Search
and tests for these (well, most).
Some prettying up of the Makefile.PL.
The test 00about.t is a bit more careful and verbose now.
The docs are still incomplete, esp. for Pod::Simple::HTML and
Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch, which I hope to improve quite soon.
2004-05-07 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 2.06
Allison Randal brilliantly refactors a huge monolithic sub in
Blackbox.pm. Code is now actually sanely readable!
I add the new option-attributes fullstop_space_harden and
codes_in_verbatim, and the two methods abandon_output_string and
abandon_output_fh. Not yet documented.
New test fullstop_spaces.t and new corpus document
greek_iso_8859_7.pod.
Another version should be forthcoming in a few days that has the
new Pod::Simple::HTML stuff in it.
Note to self: document =extend and =encoding in perlpodspec ASAP!
2003-11-04 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 2.05 -- bugfix version
In an attempt to stop Perl 5.6 versions from going completely
crazy, I've tried to basically turn off all Unicode/utf8 support
under 5.6. Under 5.8 and above, Unicode should work fine, and
under 5.6, all Unicode characters should be replaced with a little
"can't render" symbol, either a "ยค" or a "?".
Many many thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi for helping out.
(Works under 5.005 now too?)
2003-10-10 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 2.04 -- minor bugfix version
* Added some code to insulate Pod::Simple to runtime changes in
the value of $/. Thanks to Iain Truskett for catching this.
* Added FILENO method to TiedOutFH.pm, to work quietly under some
perls. Thanks to Jochen Stenzel for catching this.
* Fixed some tests that erroneously failed under some 5.6's
because of chdir()s in *.t files messing up @INC Thanks to many
who caught this, including Rocco Caputo.
2003-09-07 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 2.03 -- minor upgrade
* A =head[1234] command now closes any currently open =over, and
warns.
* Fixing a few obscure bugs, including one to do with the
Makefile.
* Added some tests for those bugs.
2003-09-02 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 2.02 -- fixing a testing bug
* Autrijus Tang found a silly bug of mine in corpustest.t's
testing of corpus/t/nonesuch.txt. Fixed,
* I add encoding_nonesuch.t to test corpus/t/nonesuch.txt better.
2003-09-01 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 2.01
* Moved all version numbers up to 2.01 for reasons of Tibetan
numerology.
* Implemented =encoding. Thanks a million to Jarkko, Autrijus,
Dan Kogai, and many others for their help, patience, and
encouragement.
It's not yet documented, but see ./t/corpus/*.txt for examples at
least.
* Added 'use utf8' to all the modules. Byebye perl-5.005
compatibility, hello decent perl-5.6 compatibility.

2003-09-01 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 0.98
* At Michael Schwern's suggestion, a list that begins with a
"=item [number]" line where number isn't a 1, is no longer
treated as an error, but instead is silently coerced into being a
text-item list, just as if it were "=item wubble" or whatever.
2003-08-12 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 0.97
* Loooking goooooood. Not smelling so much like beta anymore!
* I think this might be the last version before I go
putting "use utf8" all over the place.
* Added placefolders for "=encoding" support. If you use
"=encoding", you'll get an error about "not yet implemented"
instead of "unknown directive".
* Rewrote Pod::Simple::Pullparser's get_title, and added
get_version, get_author, and get_description. Documented them.
Thanks to Graham Barr for contributing an initial get_title and
then being patient while I seemed to do nothing with it for months
on end!
* More tests.
Otherwise just minor changes since last version:
* Fixed error in Pod::Simple::RTF.
* Added new but undocumented methods to Pod::Simple:
unaccept_directive(s) unaccept_target(s) unaccept_code(s)
* Corrected '=back without =open' error to '=back without =over'
* A little tweaking to the _verbatim_format code.
* Dump routines may use \x{NN} instead of \xNN format.
* Pod::Simple::HTML now uses VerbatimFormatted
* A few changes ot DEBUG messages -- nothing you'd normally see.
2002-11-19 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>
* Release 0.96
* Still kinda sorta beta.
* Much much more docs in this version. Only a few feature
changes:
* Added any_errata_seen to Pod::Simple. Should've been in there
ages ago. Oops!
* Fixed some errors in the experimental VerbatimFormatted code.
* Added is_tagname / is_tag to Pod::Simple::PullParserStartToken
and Pod::Simple::PullParserEndToken
* Added RTFDEFLANG stuff to Pod::Simple::RTF.
2002-11-10 Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org>

* Pod::Simple -- added parse_from_file
* Pod::Simple::RTF -- minor style changes, and minor change to the
RTF-wrapping logic.

VerbatimFormatted stuff.

added/changed accordingly.

doing something with X<...>'s.
