Revision history for Config::ApacheFormat

1.0 Sun Nov 24 12:58:35 2002

• First version.

1.1 Tue Nov 26 12:00:00 2002

• Added new options 'valid_directives' and 'valid_blocks' to allow the parser to produce syntax errors on invalid data. Thanks to Rudy Lippan for the suggestion.
• Added filenames to error messages and added code to track filenames and line numbers correctly across included files.
• Fixed bug where blocks with multi-part names couldn't be accessed with block().
• Fixed spelling error in API. The wrong spelling of "inheritance" as "inheritence" is now deprecated.
• Modified get() to avoid recursion when inheritance_support is on for a small speedup.
• Optimized parsing for a 50% speedup on large files.
• Lowered memory usage.

1.2 Mon Oct 20 10:52:53 PDT 2003

• Nathan Wiger ported many features from Apache::ConfigFile in an effort to combine the two modules. These features include:
  • The fix_booleans option, which allows automatic conversion of yes/on/true to 1 and no/off/false to 0
  • The expand_vars option, allowing reuse of previously-defined directives as $directive
  • The setenv_vars option, which will automatically place variables defined via the SetEnv directive into the %ENV hash
  • The hash_directives option, which allows proper handling of directives where the first value is really a key (ex. AddHandler).
  • The duplicate_directives option, which allows the programmer to choose how duplicate directives are handled (by default the last one is kept, allowing subsequent configs to override earlier Includes)
  • Support for multiple blocks with the same name.
  • Support for include directories and multiple include files on a single line
  • The root_directive option, which allows the user to define a root for that config file which is prepended to relative Include paths.
• Added include_directives option to allow for differently named Include directives.
• Removed deprecated support for the wrong spelling of inheritance_support as inheritence_support.
• Fixed bug preventing mixed-case valid_directives and valid_blocks from working.
