Revision history for Getopt-Euclid 0.3.0_1 - Try if the CPAN indexer likes this $VERSION better 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 0.2.1 Sun May 31 12:57:07 2009 - Removed BEGIN blocks and simply brought the defined variables to the top of the module (thanks Todd) - Update POD to make sure people don't "use Getopt::Euclid ();" - Removed debugger break point (thanks Diab) - Removed no bugs claim in POD 0.2.0 Sat Aug 4 17:22:31 2007 - Added fallback to $main::VERSION if version not specified in Pod (thanks Todd and Thomas) - Added non-zero exit value on bad arg list (thanks Toby) - Changed module behaviour: now removes identified arguments from @ARGV. on successful match (thanks Aran and Tim) - Allowed alternations everywhere (i.e. outside optionals too) - Allowed E and E in option specifiers (thanks Wes) 0.1.0 Thu Nov 2 19:47:05 2006 - Fixed failure to recognize +integer and 0+integer type specification (thanks Ron) - Added quotemeta'ing of regexically special characters (thanks Ron) - Repatched :vars mode to really export all args (thanks again Tim!) 0.0.9 Thu Oct 26 21:18:46 2006 - Patched :vars mode to export all args (thanks Tim!) 0.0.8 Sun Oct 8 12:45:17 2006 - Remove spurious smart comments - Added missing documentation for placeholder misspecification diagnostic - Made contents of validator subs fallback to main:: - Allowed false: flags to be regexes - Fixed readable/writable test for '-' (thanks Thomas) - Added regexes as valid placeholder type constraints 0.0.7 Tue Oct 3 03:54:01 2006 - Added :vars mode (thanks Tim!) - Fixed option names containing dashes. (thanks Tim!) - Fixed minimal matching mode to more accurately detect clashes (thanks Thomas) - Added user-specified type.error messages (thanks Thomas) - Tightened up checking of placeholder type constraints (thanks Tim) 0.0.6 Sun Sep 17 02:48:04 2006 - Removed spurious "compilation failed message" for interface errors (thanks David!) - Added 'repeatable' option (thanks Thomas) 0.0.5 Fri Feb 17 15:52:20 2006 - Changed POD::Text to Pod::Text (curse you, case-independent MacOS X!! ;-) - Fixed erroneous bug report when only syntax checking with perl -c - Fixed bug in license defaults (thanks clpoda!) - Added :minimal_keys mode (thanks Thomas) 0.0.4 Thu Aug 4 18:03:28 2005 - Fixed embarrassing encoding bug (thanks dakkar!) 0.0.3 Sun Jul 24 20:16:17 2005 - Removed need for Smart::Comments 0.0.2 Sat Jul 23 04:37:18 2005 No changes logged 0.0.1 Sun Jan 30 20:42:36 2005 Initial release.
