• - public release via CPAN
  • 0.06
• use Text::ParseWords instead of original clumsy regexps in prep_queries()
• add support for 8211 (ndash) and 8212 (mdash) entities
• tweeked StartBound and EndBound to not match within a word
• fixed doc to reflect that debugging prints on STDOUT, not STDERR
  • 0.07
• made HTML::Parser optional to allow for more flexibility with using methods
• added perldoc for previously undocumented methods
• corrected perldoc for Queries() to refer to metanames as second param
• updated SWISH::API example to avoid using HTML::Parser
• added unicode entity -> ascii equivs for better DocBook support
• (NOTE: this expands the ndash/mdash feature from 0.06)
• misc cleanup
  • 0.08
• fixed bug in SWISH::API example with ParsedWords and updated Queries() perldoc to reflect the change.
• removed dependency on HTML::Entities by hardcoding all relevant entities. (HTML::Entities does a 'require HTML::Parser' which made the parser=>0 feature break.)
  • 0.09
• added Print feature to new() to allow Run() to return highlighted text instead of automatically printing in a streaming fashion. Set Print=>0 to turn off print().
• Run() now returns highlighted text if Print=>0.
• changed parser=>0 to Parser=>0.
• the ParsedWords bug reported in 0.08 was really with my example in get_snippet(). so rather than blame someone else's code, I fixed mine... :)
• fixed bug with count of real HTML matches that was most evident with running hilite()
• added test2.t test to test the Parser=>0 feature
  • 0.10
• fixed prep_queries() perldoc head
• Queries() now returns hash ref of q => regexp
• fixed SWISH::API example to use new Queries()
• fixed Queries() perldoc
• added StopWords note to prep_queries()
• fixed regexp that caused make test to fail in perl < 5.8.1 (thanks to m@perlmeister.com)
• added note to hilite() perldoc to always use Inline()
  • 0.11
• separated debugging into 3 levels for increasing verbosity (1-3).
• changed default colors to lighter pastels.
• misc perldoc fixes.
• internal object key 'query_array' preserves query order.
• fixed default HTML::Parser handler to buffer/print according to HiLiter object param.
• added support for TextFilter and TagFilter.
• renamed $debug to $Debug.
• added 'debug' param in new() call.
• fixed bugs with default StartBound and EndBound.
• fixed bugs with &#NN; numeric entities in $White_Space.
• added support to let phrases match over all non-WordChars, not just whitespace.
• Queries() now returns either hash ref or array depending on context.
• Queries() may now take either an array ref or a scalar text string.
• Various small tweeks to better support the SWISHE param.
• Queries() now keeps query array in same order as original.
• moved all Changes here and out of .pm file
• moved examples to their own directory and out of POD
• renamed all private routines to start with
• added the 'nohiliter' attribute option, to prevent highlighting within marked tagsets
• general cleanup and optimization
• buildregexp() now returns an array ref of two regexp: for HTML and plain text.
• build_regexp() now uses Ignore Chars from SWISH::API object
• prep_queries() now supports SWISH Fuzzy Mode via SWISH::API::Fuzzy (version 0.03 or newer)
• changed new() SWISHE param to SWISH -- but either will work * * 0.12
• bug fix: plaintext() not called if text contains entities
• mpeters@plusthree.com contributed the HiClass feature.
• added filter example to lightfile.cgi
  • 0.13 10 Nov 2005
  • 0.14 26 Sep 2009
• rewrite to use Search::Tools. At the same time considered replacing HTML::Parser with XML::LibXML for speed reasons, but when comparing the RT queues for both, it became obvious that HTML::Parser was a much safer route. That, and I couldn't get tests in XML::LibXML to pass against libxml2 2.7.
• The API has changed. Read the SYNOPSIS.
• since Search::Tools normalizes everything to UTF-8, the output of HTML::HiLiter will always be UTF-8. As a convenience, if the HiLiter encounters a http-equiv meta charset tag of anything other than ascii or utf-8, a new meta tagset will be inserted in its place indicating utf-8 encoding. If you really do not want to display UTF-8, you'll need to convert back to your desired encoding, using something like the Encode module.

0.15 19 Nov 2009

• fixed init() to only pass on args that are methods (was causing tests to fail with latest version of Rose::ObjectX::CAF).

0.16 22 Jan 2009

• add tests for wildcard matches.
