Revision history for Getopt-Euclid

0.2.4

• Default values can now be specified in the POD and displayed in the program documentation
• Support for more integer arguments, e.g. scientific notation like 1E8
• Support for arguments that cannot coexist using the 'exclude' keyword
• New specifier to defer processing of @ARGV arguments: :defer
• New method to pass an arbitrary array of arguments to parsing: process_args
• New methods to access the program usage, version, manual and help messages
• When a version number is missing from the POD or $main::VERSION, the file time and date are used as version number
• The help message now includes --version and is more consistent with the usage message
• Bugfix: the options in the help message are no longer randomly sorted
• Bugfix: the man page is now properly formed when .pm files that have no POD are use'd
• Bugfix: when the --man flag was passed and the script name was, e.g. 'myprog' instead of 'myprog - short description', an undef warning was issued
• Bugfix: when the --help flag was passed and either no required arguments or no optional arguments were specified in the POD, an undef warning was issued
• Bugfix: the POD parsing mechanism now removes rogue PODs hidden inside variables and other Perl-quoted strings
• Bugfix for #34195: addresses compatibility with Perl compiling (syntax check)
• Bugfix for #34207: .type.error is now taken into account properly
• Bugfix for #38461: file path that uses the volume and dir
• Bugfix for #34199: new subroutine checkname() verifies that argument name specifications are well-balanced with <> brackets

0.2.2 Thu Sep 9 19:30:55 2010

• #28474 - fixed the way name was being parsed
• #35895 - line delimiters converted to newlines

  where the flag is given but a value for the placeholder is not
