Astro-SIMBAD-Client

0.021 27-Jun-2011 T. R. Wyant Update the canned positions of Arcturus (usef for testing) to match those retrieved from SIMBAD, which changed on or about June 27 2011.

0.020 22-May-2011 T. R. Wyant Update the canned positions of Arcturus to match those actually retrieved from SIMBAD, which changed on or about May 18 2011.

0.019 03-Mar-2011 T. R. Wyant Convert to Perl Foundation-recommended license. Reorganize author tests to run on separate Build.PL tag, not a magic environment variable.
Module::Build is no longer required for configuration since you can use ExtUtils::MakeMaker if you wish.

0.018 09-Apr-2009 T. R. Wyant Distribute developer tests, but only run if DEVELOPER_TEST is set. Comply with Perl::Critic using profile t/perlcriticrc. Criticize code as part of developer testing. Drop unneeded 'use FileHandle' from Build.PL. Have Build.PL and Makefile.PL handle -y and -n to supress prompt and install or not install simbadc respectively. Correct 'help client' in bin/simbadc
Update t/vo.t to track the fact that the SIMBAD4 URL query has gone back to decimal degrees for position.

0.017 29-Nov-2008 T. R. Wyant Fix test failure when YAML::Syck installed but YAML not.

0.016 17-Nov-2008 T. R. Wyant Eliminate calls to UNIVERSAL::isa as a function. Revise tests to deal more gracefully with 5xx errors.

0.015 29-Oct-2008 T. R. Wyant Split Astro::SIMBAD::Client::WSQueryInterfaceService into its own file for bookkeeping purposes.

0.014 30-Aug-2008 T. R. Wyant Astro::SIMBAD::Client, Makefile.PL, Build.PL Require Perl 5.008, because MailTools does, and SOAP::Lite requires MailTools, and we require SOAP::Lite. Fix TAP emitted by t::TestSimbad, so that we get useful output when the server is unreachable or unresponsive.

0.013 24-Jul-2008 T. R. Wyant Astro::SIMBAD::Client
Add =head1 LICENSE (CPANTS game)
t/canned.data
Track change in data returned by %OTYPE in SIMBAD4 1.092 21-Jul-2008

0.012 21-Feb-2008 T. R. Wyant Astro::SIMBAD::Client
Add url_args attribute to provide default arguments to the url_query method.
Add 'Astro::SIMBAD::Client' and version number to user agent string. Add Scalar::Util as a requirement, since this is not bundled with Perl 5.6.
Add a delay (3 seconds by default) between queries of a given

      server. The 'delay' attribute controls this. Subsecond delays are
      available if Time::HiRes can be loaded.

Update copyright.
bin/simbadc
Parse <filename as replacing the token with the contents of the file. Update copyright.

0.011 12-Nov-2007 T. R. Wyant Modify parse module loader to use 'eval "require $module"' rather than generating .pm file name, to work with .pmc modules when and if they appear.

0.010 18-Oct-2007 T. R. Wyant Specify minimum Perl version of 5.006 in Build.PL and Makefile.PL. Change url_query VOTable tests from todo back to test, since they now work as of 18-Oct-2007.
Corrected the code used to escape URLs in the centralized requester (use URL::Escape, not HTML::Entities).

0.009 17-Oct-2007 T. R. Wyant Add 'post' attribute.
Mark url_query VOTable tests todo, since they stopped working 15-Oct-2007. Document this under 'NOTICES' in the code. Clean up the POD tests.
Remove shebang lines where not warranted.

0.008 30-Aug-2007 T. R. Wyant Add release() method, to return SIMBAD release number.

0.007 26-Mar-2007 T. R. Wyant Change FORMAT_VO_BASIC to return decimal degrees for right ascension and declination. This was always the intent, but could not be tested until 'vo' web service queries started working. Document change in status of web service 'vo' queries.

0.006 20-Mar-2007 T. R. Wyant Use XML::DoubleEncodedEntities to deal with occasional double encoding of VOTable data.

0.005 02-Mar-2007 T. R. Wyant Fall back to uri_escape if uri_escape_utf8 is not available.

0.004 22-Feb-2007 T. R. Wyant Explicitly load URI::Escape.
Add HTML::Entities and URI::Escape as required by this class.

0.003 12-Feb-2007 T. R. Wyant Have Makefile.PL generate LICENSE tag if supported by the version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker in use.
Make Astro::SIMBAD::Client work with SOAP::Lite 0.55, which is what ships with ActivePerl.

0.002 26-Jan-2007 T. R. Wyant Modified Build.PL and Makefile.PL to ask if simbadc is to be installed. Modified vo tests to follow change of VOTable coordinate format to sexagesimal about SIMBAD4 1.005 January 26 2007. Corrected Astro::SIMBAD::Client documentation. Corrected simbadc documentation.

0.001 13-Dec-2006 T. R. Wyant Initial release
