Revision history for Perl extension Data::HTMLDumper.

0.08 Mon Nov 7 18:31:51 CST 2005

• Corrected grammar so it can handle Damian Conway style inside out objects.

0.07 Thu Oct 7 14:42 Central African Time 2004

• Corrected the grammar so that hash keys can be any valid string. Previously, they had been limited to identifier names, that was clearly wrong.

• Introduced an OO callback scheme so users can control the output. Default output is now produced via HTMLDumper::Ouput. By subclassing it, or replacing it, users can generate the output of their choice. To do so, they are advised to study the grammar in HTMLDumper.pm. Pay particular attention to the methods called through $actions.
• Corrected output so that tables of hash values have <tr></tr> tag pairs as they should.
• Adjusted the grammar to allow for calls to Dumper with multiple references.
• Added a mechanism for controlling Sortkeys, Maxdepth, and Varname.
• Added an object oriented calling sequence like Data::Dumper uses. The immediate affect is to allow you to call Dump with lists of references and their names.
• Corrected grammar so hash keys can have special chars. Previously they had to be valid Perl identifiers, which was obviously wrong.

• Modified the grammar to: include undef as a valid value. allow for empty arrays and hashes allow hash key names to begin with a numeric allow key names to include '.' Thanks again to Dennis Sutch for pointing out these errors.

• Changed from a brain dead regex scheme to use Parse::RecDescent. This probably introduced some errors, since the grammar may now fail. But in the long run it should pay dividends. Please send bug reports.
• Added blessed objects to the new grammar so they no longer break the appearance of the table. The contents of the object are shown in one column of a table, the other columns says isa Type where Type is the name of the class the reference is blessed into.
• Added an examples directory.
• Corrected the handling of embedded single quotes within the single quoted strings Data::Dumper produces.

0.03 Sat Aug 28 12:36:55 Central African Time 2004

• Applied patch of Dennis Sutch which converts special characters into html recognized symbols (& -> &amp; etc)

0.02 Wed Oct 8 08:09:51 CDT 2003

• Added Test::More to the prerequisite list in Makefile.PL.
• Corrected tests so they no longer rely on the order of hash keys.
