Revision history for Class-CGI

0.20 2006-05-07

• Changed adderror() to add_error() and documented it.
• Bug fix: errors are now properly HTML escaped. Users may override the escaping via the new error_encoding() method.
• Created mailing list and added a link to it in the docs.
• Documented the term "virtual parameter".
• Overrode CGI::Simple::new() to centralize initialization.
• Added required() and is_required() methods.
• Added add_missing() and is_missing_required() methods.
• Handlers now have a base class (Class::CGI::Handler) with extensive support for required and virtual parameters.
• Made the "ALPHA" designation much more prominent. Folks need to know that this is a work in progress which their production code should not rely on.

0.14 2006-04-25

• Fixed an 'uninitialized' warning in args().
• Fixed reference to "Congif" (sic) in POD. Thanks to Darren Myer for the catch (http://rt.cpan.org//Ticket/Display.html?id=18890).
• Removed dependency on Module::Load::Conditional due to security concern. Thanks to Darren Myer for the solution. See http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=18892 for more details.

0.13 2006-04-22

• Minor doc fixes.
• Added the "args" method.

0.12 2006-04-20

• No code changes. Fixed some documentation errors and expanded some explanations.

0.11 2006-04-19

• API change. errors() now returns a hash instead of an arrayref. The keys are the param() names. This was necessary because pushing errors onto a stack could make it very difficult to figure out which param() call generated the error.

0.10 2006-04-16

• Add better error handling for the param() method. At this point, Class::CGI is essentially feature complete, though enhancements to various features may come at some point in the future.

0.04 2006-04-11

• Do not load Config::Std unless needed.
• handlers() method without arguments now returns the currently used handlers.
• Tremendously improved test coverage. Devel::Cover lists one branch as untested (and I can't figure out why).
• Minor documentation clarifications.
• Updated the manifest to include the tests :/

0.03 2006-04-08

• Now passes the parameter name is the second argument to the handler constructor. Thanks to Aristotle for pointing out how useful that would be.
• Handlers can now be defined in a config file rather than being continuously redefined in the code.

0.02 2006-04-07

• Added 'raw_param' method which allows the user to fetch the actual value of a parameter and ignore handlers defined for it.
• Handlers now accept the Class::CGI object instead of the value of the corresponding parameter. This makes them far more flexible (when will I learn that I should default to passing objects instead of scalars?)

0.01 2006-04-07

• First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
