Revision history for Perl extension Bryar.

4.0 - 2009-10-25

• First release by new maintainer Marco d'Itri.
• Fixed and improved the calendar template.
• Removed debugging statements from posts_calendar().
• Added support for FastCGI using CGI::Fast.
• Use croak instead of exit in report_error() or FastCGI processes will die.
• Made report_error() return status 500.
• HTML-escape the text output by report_error().
• Added a Renderer class which generates a Google sitemap using WWW::Google::SiteMap.
• Use Template::Provider::Encoding to support non-ASCII posts.
• Moved the Template Toolkit macros to a common file.
• Added the ".tt2" extension to the calendar template.
• Added macros to print DateTime objects as ISO 8601 and RFC 822 strings.
• Updated the ATOM template to the 1.0 format.
• Added a Bryar::Document::url() method useful in templates to get the relative URL of posts.
• Fixed the permalinks when categories are used.
• Added support to generate arbitrary HTTP headers. Templates can modify them by manipulating the bryar.http_headers hash.
• Added support for caching the formatted pages using Cache::Cache.
• Return a 404 error when no posts matching the parameters are available.
• Treat all input and output streams as UTF-8.
• Added to the URL parser support for requesting posts older than a certain date, using the format /before_<timestamp>. Updated the HTML template.
• Cleaned up the default templates.
• Removed from the Template::Toolkit environment the "recent" and "archive" variables. They are undocumented, not used in the example template and cost two extra runs of the collector.
• HTML-escape errors reported by Template::Toolkit.
• Added support for the If-Modified-Since HTTP validator.
• Instantiate the renderer/source/collector/frontend classes if they have a constructor.
• Ignore commented and empty lines in the configuration file.
• Made the FlatFile data source not automatically replace a double \n with a <p> tag. This is an incompatible change.
• Replaced some uses of die with report_error().
• Optimization: cut two stat(2) calls from each call to make_document().
• Optimization: cache getpwuid(3) calls because they parse /etc/passwd every time.
• Example: render new posts as text and post them to a newsgroup.
• Example: fastcgi daemon with a lighttpd configuration.
• Example: a simple WYSIWYG editor for posts, based on fckeditor.

3.0 - 2007-01-20

• First release by new maintainer David Cantrell
• Comments now accept an 'email' field from the user
• The default Template Toolkit renderer has a lot more of TT's options turned on to support more complex templates
• For the FlatFile datasource only (but this is the default source):
  • journal entries whose files' timestamps are in the future are 'embargoed'
  • you must specify your email address so you can be notified of comments
  • comments are emailed to the journal's owner by shelling out to the 'mail' program
  • comments are now subject to a crude spam filter:
    • the string 'http://' appearing three or more times is presumed to be spam, and the comment is simply thrown away
    • the string 'http://' appearing one or two times means the comment might be spam and the journal's owner is emailed so he can decide whether to add it to the *.comments file by hand or not
