Revision history for Emacs::Run

0.01 Fri Mar 7 02:43:02 2008

• original version; created by h2xs 1.23 with options

  -AX -nEmacs::Run -b5.8.0

0.02 Monday March 24, 2008 5:48 PM

• some bugfixes (corrected initialization involving emacs libraries to load, etc.);
• tests will now skip if no 'emacs' is present.

0.03 Monday March 24, 2008 5:52 PM

• added finer-grained control over manipulation of STDERR and STDOUT (the "shell_output_director" object attribute and method option);

0.04 Saturday March 29, 2008 12:55 AM

• improved documentation for the method "eval_function"
• added emacs version dump to tests that have been failing on some platforms.

0.05 Wednesday April 2, 2008 12:21 AM

• added method no_splash_p to probe for emacs '--no-splash' option, and modified "run_elisp_on_file" to avoid using that option when it's not there (I'm trying to swat some pesky cross-platform bugs with a sledge-hammer)

0.06 Wednesday April 2, 2008 1:25 AM

• changing default shell_output_director for the get_load_path method to discard messages sent to stderr

0.07 Wednesday April 2, 2008 10:09 PM

• renamed "no_splash_p" as "probe_for_option_no_splash", modified to find "Unknown option" warning more reliably
• in "detect_lib" and friends made similar improvements to detect the "Cannot open load file" error under wider circumstances (including under xemacs).

0.08 Monday April 21, 2008 5:21 PM

• added "shell_output_director" option to "probe_emacs_version".
• made the test code more robust with error trapping on the initial probe for the presence of emacs
• Using File::Spec in lib_or_file rather than matching for '/'
• Using File::Spec->devnull now in tests.

0.09 Saturday April 26, 2008 2:02 AM

• Now (optionally) uses IPC::Capture in preference to shelling out directly via qx.

0.10 Wednesday August 12, 2009 7:37 PM

• Added a method to use when the elisp code being run will not work right under "batch": eval_elisp_full_emacs
• Added internally used utilities (hacks?) such as parse_ec_string, progn_wrapper

0.11 Wednesday August 19, 2009 2:22 PM

• Improved portability of a test by instructing it to avoid searching for a site-start.el file.

0.12 Thursday August 20, 2009 7:09 PM

• Switching from Makemaker to Module::Build

0.13 Sunday, August 23, 2009 7:07 PM

• Phasing out use of IPC::Capture: now just shells out directly. (The additional dependencies weren't really improving portability.)

0.14 Monday, August 24, 2009 12:50 PM

• Cleaned up after dropping use of IPC::Capture.

0.15 Tuesday September 1, 2009 12:33 AM

• Dropped use of "redirector" setting for methods where it made little sense to use it (e.g. "get_variable", "get_load_path).
• Added feature to eval_elisp_full_emacs to assist in debugging: If the option "message_log" contains the name of a log file the emacs 'Messages' buffer will be appended to it.
