Bryar

Changes for version 4.0 - 2009-10-25

First release by new maintainer Marco d'Itri.
Fixed and improved the calendar template.
Removed debugging statements from posts_calendar().
Added support for FastCGI using CGI::Fast.
Use croak instead of exit in report_error() or FastCGI processes will die.
Made report_error() return status 500.
HTML-escape the text output by report_error().
Added a Renderer class which generates a Google sitemap using WWW::Google::SiteMap.
Use Template::Provider::Encoding to support non-ASCII posts.
Moved the Template Toolkit macros to a common file.
Added the ".tt2" extension to the calendar template.
Added macros to print DateTime objects as ISO 8601 and RFC 822 strings.
Updated the ATOM template to the 1.0 format.
Added a Bryar::Document::url() method useful in templates to get the relative URL of posts.
Fixed the permalinks when categories are used.
Added support to generate arbitrary HTTP headers. Templates can modify them by manipulating the bryar.http_headers hash.
Added support for caching the formatted pages using Cache::Cache.
Return a 404 error when no posts matching the parameters are available.
Treat all input and output streams as UTF-8.
Added to the URL parser support for requesting posts older than a certain date, using the format /before_<timestamp>. Updated the HTML template.
Cleaned up the default templates.
Removed from the Template::Toolkit environment the "recent" and "archive" variables. They are undocumented, not used in the example template and cost two extra runs of the collector.
HTML-escape errors reported by Template::Toolkit.
Added support for the If-Modified-Since HTTP validator.
Instantiate the renderer/source/collector/frontend classes if they have a constructor.
Ignore commented and empty lines in the configuration file.
Made the FlatFile data source not automatically replace a double \n with a <p> tag. This is an incompatible change.
Replaced some uses of die with report_error().
Optimization: cut two stat(2) calls from each call to make_document().
Optimization: cache getpwuid(3) calls because they parse /etc/passwd every time.
Example: render new posts as text and post them to a newsgroup.
Example: fastcgi daemon with a lighttpd configuration.
Example: a simple WYSIWYG editor for posts, based on fckeditor.
