Revision history for Getopt-Euclid
0.3.7
- Fixed too enthusiastic variable interpolation in Euclid specs (RT bug #78854)
- Fixed bug tracker URL (credits to Kent Fredric)
0.3.6
- Fixed occasional non-minimized entry when using :minimal_keys specifier
0.3.5
- Removed extraneous \E (patch by Todd Rinaldo)
- Better handling of quoted arguments (RT bug #49525, reported by Ken Galinsky)
0.3.4
- New standard argument --podfile to write the manual in a .pod file
- Fixed issue where the NAME and VERSION sections appeared as a verbatim
section (which podchecker complains about)
- Always convert POD to text when calling help() and man()
- help() is now paged if IO::Pager::Page is installed
- Dependency changes:
Pod::Simple::Text replaces Pod::Text
Pod::Simple::Text is required instead of recommended,
IO::Pager::Page is recommended
0.3.3
- Attempt to extract POD even from files that look binary (might be packaged
with pp, perlapp or similar program)
0.3.2
- Another attempt to make the CPAN indexer happy
0.3.1
- Changed $VERSION to make the CPAN indexer happy
- Export repeatable options with multiple placeholders as an empty arrayref,
not as an empty hashref (RT bug #71165, reported by Bill Levering)
0.3.0
- Reverted feature to match POD head section =head2, =head3 and =head4 because
of backward compatibility issue (RT bug #70942)
0.2.9 2011-09-03
- This command does not generate warnings anymore:
perl -e 'use Getopt::Euclid; print $Getopt::Euclid::VERSION;'
- Required and optional arguments can now be put in a POD head section =head2,
=head3 and =head4 for more flexibility
0.2.8 2011-09-02
- Support for optional defaults (RT bug #61438, patch from Paolo Medeo)
- Extended the grammar of recognized POD headers for required and optional arguments:
[STANDARD|STD|PROGRAM|SCRIPT|CLI|COMMAND[-| ]LINE] [REQUIRED|MANDATORY] [PARAM|PARAMETER|ARG|ARGUMENT][S]
[STANDARD|STD|PROGRAM|SCRIPT|CLI|COMMAND[-| ]LINE] OPTION[AL|S] [PARAM|PARAMETER|ARG|ARGUMENT][S]
- Usage error message now mentions the --man option in addition to --help
0.2.7
- Updated dependencies in Build.PL module
0.2.6
- Bugfix: corrected a .pod file finding issue
0.2.5
- Bugfix for #69324: more efficient and accurate POD extraction using Perl::Tidy
- Bugfix for #29301: automatically looking for POD located into .pod files
- Bugfix for #69105: file META.yml states which license the module uses
- Bugfix for #34200: variables in constraint specifications are read as
originating from the 'main' package namespace
- Little internal modification to prevent identical placeholders that are
present multiple times in the specification to be processed multiple times.
- Error messages for arguments that do not validate against the constraints
now display the value of variables instead of their name.
0.2.4
- Default values can now be specified in the POD and displayed in the program
documentation
- Support for more integer arguments, e.g. scientific notation like 1E8
- Support for arguments that cannot coexist using the 'exclude' keyword
- New specifier to defer processing of @ARGV arguments: :defer
- New method to pass an arbitrary array of arguments to parsing: process_args
- New methods to access the program usage, version, manual and help messages
- When a version number is missing from the POD or $main::VERSION, the file
time and date are used as version number
- The help message now includes --version and is more consistent with the
usage message
- Bugfix: the options in the help message are no longer randomly sorted
- Bugfix: the man page is now properly formed when .pm files that have no POD
are use'd
- Bugfix: when the --man flag was passed and the script name was, e.g. 'myprog'
instead of 'myprog - short description', an undef warning was issued
- Bugfix: when the --help flag was passed and either no required arguments or
no optional arguments were specified in the POD, an undef warning was issued
- Bugfix: the POD parsing mechanism now removes rogue PODs hidden inside
variables and other Perl-quoted strings
- Bugfix for #34195: addresses compatibility with Perl compiling (syntax check)
- Bugfix for #34207: .type.error is now taken into account properly
- Bugfix for #38461: file path that uses the volume and dir
- Bugfix for #34199: new subroutine _check_name() verifies that argument name
specifications are well-balanced with <> brackets
0.2.3 Tue Sep 14 2010
- #61321 - made tests that require writeable files set own properties to 644
0.2.2 Thu Sep 9 19:30:55 2010
- #28474 - fixed the way name was being parsed
- #35895 - line delimiters converted to newlines
- #49524 - fixed way POD parsed so that headers after a =cut get parsed
properly
- #55259 - created $SCRIPT_VERSION variable containing parsed version
- #61039 - don't insert default value for options with optional placeholders
where the flag is given but a value for the placeholder is not
