Changes for version 0.10

(3 Jan 2005) another little tweak
(3 Jan 2005) some tweaking For some reason I can't fathom, it started reindexing every time it ran, and I really noticed the slowdown because I'm trying to set up my own site, and I'd converted over enough files that it was feeling the pinch (I have a large site). So I've reduced the number of checks in index_entries; the fallout will be that manual indexing will be required more often, but that's a lot better than it erroniously reindexing every time.
(3 Jan 2005) code tweaking Now index_entries sets $self->{reindex}.
(3 Jan 2005) fix to Posy::Plugin::BinFile Needed better guestimate of some file types.
(3 Jan 2005) Posy::Plugin::LocalDepth
(3 Jan 2005) tweaking depth on breadcrumbs
(3 Jan 2005) fix problem with entry titles Needed to change EntryTitles and NearLinks for situations where the HTML file has an empty title. Though the obvious answer is to say Thou Shalt Not Have Entries Without Titles, the files in question were automatically generated ones where I had no control over the titles.
(2 Jan 2005) various fixes
- directories starting with dots should be "other" files, not categories
- turned on the num_entries limitation
- other tweaks
(1 Jan 2005) Posy::Plugin::LinkExtra and friends LinkExtra is a plugin to add extra info to a link, mainly the size of the file linked to. Added Posy::Plugin::FileStats to support this, and altered BinFile to use the FileStats plugin. Also did some more taint stuff and minor fixes.
(30 Dec 2004) Posy::Plugin::ThisFlavour Plugin to change relative links to the current flavour.
(30 Dec 2004) Text::Template and taint checking Turned on taint checking in the CGI script. And had to fix problems engendered by same. Not sure if it won't complain with the default interpolation, but it works okay with TextTemplate now. And while I was altering Text::Template, I made the entry delimiters different to the template ones.
(30 Dec 2004) Posy::Plugin::BinFile Renders binary files from the data directory. Needs File::MMagic module to determine the MIME type of the file.
(29 Dec 2004) minor fixes
(29 Dec 2004) fixed bug in Posy::Plugin::Dump It was depending on some CGI module stuff that didn't exist in CGI::Minimal.
(29 Dec 2004) Posy::Plugin::RandQuote Now I have the funky random quotes back!
(29 Dec 2004) Posy::Plugin::Canonical This basically corrects non-standard URLs, but it gets confused if it's been redirected to.
(29 Dec 2004) documentation tweaks
(28 Dec 2004) Posy::Plugin::CgiCarp To help with debugging when one can't look at the logs.
(28 Dec 2004) workarounds Because I couldn't get Zeus rewrite rules to work, I put in stuff to enable posy.cgi to be used as an ErrorDocument 404 (so that all missing file requests would be processed by Posy). This entailed checking for an undefined PATH_INFO and using other environment variables instead. Not sure if it will work with Zeus yet, but I did get it to work with Apache after checking REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING also. Also, put in code into posy_all.cgi so it calculates the directories from DOCUMENT_ROOT.
