reslog change log 2005-04-26 version 2.9901 1. INSTALL rewritten. 2. UPGRADE added. 2005-04-25 1. Module::Signature SIGNATURE gpg signature file added. 2. Test suite added. 3. Many bugs fixed, thanks to the test suite. 2005-04-24 version 2.99 This is a new object-oriented version. I rewrote the whole script from an empty file. 1. Rewrite everything in object-oriented style. 2. ithread threading support is added. With threading it can check several IP at the same time, dramatically reducing the time cost. This requires Perl 5.7.2 ithread support. New option --num-threads is added for this. You can see the effect by running with -d -d. 3. Supports for running gzip executable, running Compress::Bzip2, running bzip2 executable are added. This is the benefit of object-oriented programming. Log entry read/write is now done through an uniformed I/O handler API. This eased the addition of new I/O handlers. 4. New option --trim-suffix is added to remove certain file name suffix before appending our suffix, so that reslog can line-up with other log file post-processers. 5. file utility can be used instead of File::MMagic if that is not available. 6. Term::Size is used to display the progress bar under UNIX. Under MSWin32 Win32::Console will be used instead. reslog can run without them, but you won't see the progress bar. 7. Instead of resolving line by line, reslog now collects all the IP found on all the source log files first, resolve those IP altogether, and replace the IP with the resolved domain name in the log entries at one time. 8. The script and project name changed from "reslog.pl" to "reslog". A dot "." in the project name is not valid everywhere, like SourceForge. "reslog" is enough for a script name under UNIX. Win32 users won't run it with explorer file association anyway, and there is a pl2bat to turn reslog to reslog.bat. 9. Installation method is changed from my own Install.PL to Perl's standard ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Utilizing standard is a good thing. Perl's ExtUtils::MakeMaker is more portable than GNU's autoconf. As a result, reslog is installed into /usr/bin instead of /usr/sbin under UNIX. Of course, reslog don't need installation at all. :p 10. Version number is changed from 3 digits (2.1.0) to 2 digits (3.00), according to the Perl module convention. 11. ChangeLog is renamed as Changes, as what ExtUtils::MakeMaker expects. 2003-01-04 1. File handler EOF read checks were fixed with defined(). 2002-11-13 1. Long statistic lines are split for easy reading. 2. open_src() was rewritten according to open_src() in arclog.pl, in order to use comression with gzip and bzip2 binary executables. 2002-11-12 1. RELEASE_NOTES was renamed as ChangeLog. 2. AUTHORS was added. 3. THANKS was added. 4. The option checking logic was rewritten. 5. Fixed several places where $WORKING_SRC was not locked when created with tempfile. 6. Fixed several places where spaces are between function name and its opening parenthesis, according to perlstyle(1). 7. Unnecessary parenthesis after slice and catfile were removed. 2002-10-28 1. Fixed a bug that $WORKING_RES was not locked when opened. But it is unlocked when closed. On some systems (like linux) you can request unlock on a filehandle that is not previous locked, but on some others (like win32) requesting unlock on a filehande that is not previous locked will cause error. $WORKING_RES doesn't really need locking at all. It is an anonymous temporary file handle, that can be accessed by this same working process only. It has no risk of simultaneously writing without threading, and I'm not doing threading here. I just lock it for a consistent programming style. (Thanks to Chen-hsiu Huang for reporting this.) 2002-09-28 1. File::MMagic and file are now used to check the file type, in addition to the file name suffix, with a more preferred order. 2. check_file_type() was added to check the file types by either File::MMa 3. check_gzip() was added to check the gzip method to use. 4. check_bzip2() was added to check the bzip2 method to use. 2002-09-18 version 2.1.0dev2 SourceForge Memorial Release. It's my first time to apply a project from SourceForge. Mostly are corrections to the documentation. SourceForge's project page is added to the available download source here. 1. reslog.pl's official home page at Tavern IMACAT's was restored. 2. The previous version was renamed from 2.1.0-dev1 to 2.1.0dev1, in order to unify the version number theme. 3. The project space at SourceForge was applied. Package files are uploaded to SourceForge now. 4. Project virtual host at SourceForge was set up. 5. SourceForge was added into the documentation as an official website and download source. 6. Documentation were corrected. Too many places were corrected. Ignored. 7. HTML document was rewritten to accommodate XHTML 1.1 recommendation. 2002-08-31 version 2.1.0dev1 Rewrite after almost 1 year, to be run on the newly-released perl 5.8.0. 1. Filehandles are now saved and passed in global named variables. This is the way it should be. The old way (initialize the file handles by duplicate the STDIN and assign them) was just not natural. It works in perl 5.6.1, but not in perl 5.8.0. The duplicated filehandles are constants, which cannot be assigned new values. 2. Indents are changed from 1 tab to 4 columns, to accommodate the perl style guide documented in perlstyle(1). This increases the code readability. 3. File operation error handlers are now using the low-precedence logical "or", instead of "||", which is recommended in perlop(1). Excessive parentheses in file operation functions are removed for this. 4. Traditional Chinese files are now named with suffix ".zh-tw" instead of ".b5". Simplified Chinese files are now named with suffix ".zh-cn" instead of ".gb". This is to accommodate RFC-3066, ISO 639:1988, ISO 3166-1 for language names. 5. PGP signatures of distribution files are added. 6. bzip2 distribution files are added. 2001-09-03 version 2.0.2 1. The bug that taking file handles as private variables and modified them, was fixed. 2001-09-01 version 2.0.1 1. The bug that resolved cache %NAMES was not global, was fixed. The resolved result can be pass between multiple files now. 2. A bug that a hyper reference in the English document was not specified as an absolute URL, was fixed. 2001-06-29 version 2.0.0 First public release. 1. Chinese and English standard header were added. 2. Getopt::Long was introduced to parse the arguments, in replace of my own argument-parsing routine. 3. File::Spec::Functions was introduced to handle the pathnames. 4. Cwd was introduced to obtain the current working directory. 5. autoflush from IO::Handle was introduced, to autoflush STDOUT solely under debugging mode. 6. File::Temp was introduced to handle the temporary working file. Processing is done on temporary working files to reduce the time occupying the source and result files. 7. Compress::Zlib was used to read the compressed files. 8. rel2abs() was added to convert relative paths to absolute paths. 9. progress_bar() was added to display current status graphically. 10. res_log() was added to loop multiple files. 11. open_src() and save_res() to open source and save result. 12. POD documents was added. 13. Release notes was added. 14. Readme file was added. 15. GNU General Public License was added. 16. Installation guide was added. 17. Install.PL was added in the distribution. 2001-01-21 version 1.3.1 1. autoflush was modified to do only under debugging mode. 2. Simple header was changed standard header. 2001-01-07 version 1.3.0 1. [current/total] was added in the detailed processing messages. 2000-??-?? version 1.2.0 1. Custom parse_args() was added to parse the command line arguments. 2000-??-?? version 1.1.0 1. "--usetmp" was added to process temporary working files. 2. "--suffix" was added to alter the output suffix. 3. "--debug" was added to show detailed processing messages. 2000-12-22 version 1.0.0 First version.
