Revision history for Perl extension Apache::GD::Graph.

0.96 Tue Apr 8 19:34:59 PDT 2003

• Fixed another reported error in the test, would have been simpler to not write one in the first place.
• Fixed a bug where the module was trying to delete IO::File objects instead of the underlying file names.

0.95 Mon Apr 7 15:06:53 PDT 2003

• Fixed a possible misreading of the CacheSize parameter reported by CPAN testers.

0.94 Thu Apr 3 21:06:14 PST 2003

• Added compatibility with mod_perl for Apache2.
• Made test skip in Apache2 (too lazy to fix it right now).

0.93 Sat Nov 17 14:59:03 PST 2001

• Added relative path support for files/fonts etc. So that things like ../fonts/arial.ttf will resolve relative to DocumentRoot. Or to_file=../images/foo.png, etc.. Thanks to Joseph Pepin for the suggestion.
• Boxed captions in plain/dashed/dotted/whatever style.
• Support builtin GD fonts Like gdSmallFont.
• Cleaner code and misc. minor bugs fixed.

0.92 Tue Apr 24 11:36:19 PDT 2001

• Previous versions couldn't handle more than 9 arguments because of a silly string increment bug :) Thanks to Drew Degentesh for pointing this out.

0.91 Tue Feb 6 16:37:56 PST 2001

• Added a background_image option to make it simpler to add background images to graphs.
• Added no_axes parameter.
• Added PerlSetVar TTFFontPath to set the path to search for True Type fonts in GD::Text, and consequently any font related methods in GD::Graph.
• Fixed another minor caching snafu (PerlSetVar CacheSize 0 still checked for cached images).
• Expanded pod docs a bit.
• Fixed exceptions, for the last time I hope.
• Added support for captions at arbitrary locations in the graph, with any font.

0.9     Tue Oct 17 11:38:53 PDT 2000
        - Added a list type () for set_XXX methods. Eg. legend=(mon,tue,wed)
          will now work.
        - Now support x-www-form-urlencoded data sent via a POST request.
        - Added a to_file parameter, if set the generated graph will be saved
          to the destination file on the server.

0.8     Mon Oct  9 22:44:05 PDT 2000
        - Since 0.7, the default for the X axis is to NOT have any labels.
        - The "expires" parameter didn't really work, fixed.
        - The parameter cache=0 in the query string still hit the cache if the
          image was already there, fixed.
        - Was checking for "Accepts" header, when needed to check for "Accept"
          header.
        - Now checking for set_XXX methods as options, so methods like
          set_legend(), set_font(), etc will work.

0.7     Wed Sep 14 18:47:27 PDT 2000
        - Added support for image types other than png via PerlSetVar
          ImageType, and the image_type parameter, and via Accepts header
          (Thanks to Scott Holdren for the idea and patch.)
        - Better parsing. Empty values in arrays (like [,foo,bar,,]) will work,
          as well as quoted strings. (Thanks to Scott Holdren for the former.)
        - New argument "expires" allows configuration of Expires header on a
          request basis.
        - New argument "cache" allows requests to not use the server-side
          cache.
        - Improved error handling again.
        - Now know how to make graphs without axes, see man page.

0.6     Mon Sep  4 15:16:01 PDT 2000
        - Got rid of all cache handling code and now using File::Cache, as I
          should have done in the first place.
        - PerlSetVar CacheDir is gone (File::Cache uses its own).
        - PerlSetVar CacheSize added (size in bytes).

0.5     Sat Sep  2 21:48:18 PDT 2000
        - Fixes from Vivek Khera
                - Didn't create directory correctly on BSD.
                - Use File::Path::mkpath to create directory and untaints graph
                  type so that module is taint safe.
                - Foreach loop syntax didn't work with 5.004.
        - Fixed error handling again, now one eval block wrapping handler.
        - Added PerlSetVar CacheDir and PerlSetVar Expires to control the
          server side cache directory and value of the Expires header in days,
          respectively.
        - Deletes retrieved files after itself.
        - Beginnings of a better test suite.
        - Just run pod2text on the module to create README, as opposed to not
          having a README I guess.

0.4     Thu Aug 17 15:57:30 PDT 2000
        - Changed list of values syntax from 1,2,3... to [1,2,3]. Supports
          arrays for all GD::Graph options as well as hashes, urls and undef,
          see man page.
        - Added better error handling.
        - Caches under /var/cache/Apache::GD::Graph instead of /tmp/graph-<pid>
          which was kinda silly.

0.3     Thu Aug  3 15:30:03 PDT 2000
        - Plots y values for any number of arrays (I misunderstood the
          GD::Graph manpage). Fixed syntax and documentation to reflect this.

0.2     Wed Aug  2          2000
        - Fixed ABSTRACT in Makefile.PL and MANIFEST.

0.1     Tue Aug  1 15:40:42 2000
        - original version; created by h2xs 1.20 with options
                -A -X -n Apache::GD::Graph
