Revision history for Data-Printer 0.17 06/06/2011 NEW FEATURES: - filter fallback also for Perl types (RANDIR, GARU) - no need to pass arrayref in -external filters if you only have one. - new "use_prototypes" option, defaults to 1. Set to 0 to stop using prototypes in p(), which will let you do p( { foo => "bar" } ); but you'll have to pass the data to be printed as a reference. BUG FIXES: - corrected filter order (should be LIFO, not FIFO) - fixed edge-case behavior of p() within standalone filters - make sure filter output is defined, not just true (RANDIR) - fixed filter tests for Date::Calc & Date::Pcalc (SUGYAN, GARU) OTHER: - more tests - big internal refactoring - extra tips on circumveinting prototypes (DAMS, GARU) - extra tips on loading p() across all loaded modules (Árpád Szász) 0.16 31/05/2011 BUG FIXES: - patch to make it work on 5.8.8 again (RANDIR) 0.15 30/05/2011 OTHERS: - updating filters docs - adding default color for DateTime filter 0.14 30/05/2011 NEW FEATURES: - allowing 'colored' display customization to control colored output. Default is 'auto', showing colors only when output is not being piped. You may also set this to 0 to disable colors completely, or 1 to enable output coloring all the time (even when piped). - new 'caller_info' display customization. - default 'class_method' is now set to '_data_printer', so your modules and apps can be aware of Data::Printer automatically. BUG FIXES: - Skipping calls to fcntl() in systems that don't support it. 0.13 24/05/2011 CHANGES THAT ***BREAK*** BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY: - 'external' is now called '-external' to avoid name clash with a potential "external.pm" class; - filters for the same type/class are now stacked and called in order. The first one that returns a defined value (string) is used, otherwise it will forward the call to the next filter. In earlier versions, the last declared filter would be the one used. Note that this feature is only available for stand-alone filters, since inline filters are actually a hash. NEW FEATURES: - use a specific dump method via the 'class_method' display customization (default undef) - display tie information via the 'show_tied' display customization (default true) - display extra information (mode, flags, layers) on I/O handles - new '-class' type (note the dash) called when we find a non-native type (i.e. an object). If you return anything at all - even an empty string - the filter will succeed. Otherwise it will forward the call to the next '-class' filter, in order. - new DDP package alias OTHERS: - improved test suite - improved documentation 0.12 03/05/2011 BUG FIXES: - fixed failing filter test due to timezone/epoch issues 0.11 03/05/2011 NEW FEATURES: - allowing 'sort_keys' display customization (default true) - allowing 'sort_methods' class display customization (default true) - now you can add options to Data::Printer as a plain hash, not just as a hash ref (feature request by edenc) NEW ***EXPERIMENTAL*** FEATURES: - Data::Printer::Filter, enabling separate filter classes - filter for modules handling date and time (DateTime & friends) - filter for database modules (DBI only for now) OTHERS: - more tests - improved documentation, including how to turn output to HTML - some internal refactorings 0.10 18/04/2011 NEW FEATURES: - allowing toggle for array indices - allowing 'multiline' display customization - allowing 'deparse' display customization - allowing 'max_depth' display customization - allowing 'inherited' class display customization - allowing 'expand' class display customization, defaults to 1 (expand only the object itself) OTHERS: - removed ending comma from arrays and hashes - showing parents/ISA information only when it's there - default separator for key/values reduced to 3 spaces for improved readability. - improved test suite 0.09 13/04/2011 NEW FEATURES: - allowing for 'internals' display customization BUG FIXES: - improving test suite - improving documentation 0.08 11/04/2011 BUG FIXES: - improving test suite (was still failing on NetBSD) - Improved handling of extended regexps (thanks Getty for reporting) 0.07 02/04/2011 BUG FIXES: - Making sure File::HomeDir is 0.91 or higher - Making tests stricter, since they were failing on Win32 0.06 31/03/2011 BUG FIXES: - if you want to call p() from within a filter, the argument to p() must be passed as a *reference*. This is now enforced to avoid users shooting themselves in the foot. - more tests added 0.05 23/03/2011 NEW FEATURES: - local configuration file support ($HOME/.dataprinter) - you can now alias p() to whatever name you like 0.04 21/02/2011 NEW FEATURE (or BUGFIX depending on how you look at it): - supporting the new (5.13.6) perl regex modifiers syntax 0.03 14/02/2011 BUG FIXES: - reseting colors before starting 0.02 13/02/2011 CHANGES THAT BREAK BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY: - d() function removed. You can now call p($var) in void context to print, or as "my $output = p($var)" to retrieve results without printing. NEW FEATURES: - new import syntax, use Data::Printer { option => value } - new "filters" property available to filter certain types. - updated documentation. NEW ***EXPERIMENTAL*** FEATURES - local properties setting, p($var, key => value). BUG FIXES: - properly handles GLOB references - colors now work on Win32 as well. - uncolors piped output, for "less" & friends (thanks Getty for reporting). - added all possible regex modifiers to the regex output. - more tests added. 0.01 20/01/2011 - First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
