be strict on the character-set of the messages which are written, by default in UTF-8. (LC_CTYPE for the File dispatcher if available)

require Encode 2.00+
test do not say 'ERROR' but 'WARNING' in t/04setlocale.t when the setlocale() call does not return the old value as it should, according to the standards. Less confusion to the end-user, hopefully.

Require Sys::Syslog 0.24

warning does not get a line-number/filename. Use alert if you need those.

Improvements

added logsocket option to SYSLOG dispatcher.
exception can be re-throw-n with a different reason.
stop parse_locale() from complaining about locale==undef
::Util::parse_locale() does a better job trying to conform to various standards. In SCALAR context, it now returns more information.

link manual-pages with Text::Catalog (renamed from Log::Report::View)

version 0.14: Fri Nov 2 15:00:49 CET 2007

Fixes

Another syntax error, now using Win32Locale. via cpantesters [mmusgrove]

Improvements

t/04locale.t also tries charset eq ''
t/04locale.t will produce a warning, not an error, when the setlocale() does not work
t/*.t will use the 'C' locale, not the less often supported 'POSIX'.
added Log::Report::Win32Locale, with experimental application in Log::Report::Lexicon::Index
on some platforms, LC_MESSAGES is not defined. Work-around in Log::Report::Translator::POT.

version 0.11: Thu Oct 18 09:34:18 CEST 2007

Fixes

Running tests, a temporary directory remained in /tmp. [Andreas Koenig]

Improvements

Makefile.PL use 5.008 i.s.o. 5.8.2, otherwise not understood by perl 5.5. [Slaven Rezic]

version 0.10: Mon Oct 15 17:55:44 CEST 2007

Changes

WARNINGs should not included $!... use alert if you are tempted.

Improvements

few doc fixes.

version 0.09: Thu Aug 9 22:46:56 CEST 2007

Changes

a try{} block executes eval in the correct context, and returns its results. Just like eval() does.
a non-translated message MUST be only one string to be passed to report(), because other parameters are passed to the message constructor.

Fixes

stack-trace did not remove the trace of the Log::Report internal helpers.
if try died indirectly from a nested died try, then that object is not captured in died() itself.

Improvements

try() catches Perl die/croak/warn as well, and translates them using Log::Report::Die.
try() dies if parameter list has odd length (semi-colon forgotten)
implementation of exception classes. See Log::Report::(Message|Exception)::inClass

version 0.06: Sat Jun 9 10:33:23 CEST 2007

Improvements

t/51syslog.t compares required version via UNIVERSAL::VERSION (cpan-tester David Cantrell) Other version checks adapted as well.
add t/pod.t, which tests produced pods
t/01locale.t even smarter, with help of Andreas Koenig

version 0.05: Thu Jun 7 13:18:13 CEST 2007

Changes

the stderr dispatcher will be opened when there is any file at STDERR, not only a tty.

Improvements

simplified t/50files.t
another attempt to get t/01locale.t correct on all platforms
::Util; locale parser must accept C and POSIX
::Dispatcher; make message output format translatable
::Extract::PPI; report mistake when msgid ends with new-line
::Extract::PPI; mistake when a variable is interpolated in msgid
::Extract::PPI; qq{} msgids will now be detected as well
::Extract::PPI; special characters the "" and qq{} strings with get interpreted (PPI does not do that automatically)
::Extract::PPI: only report the nessecary
after a long discussion within Amsterdam.pm about concatenation of translated fragments, it was decided to permit it but put some extra warnings in the docs.
also warn about __'xx' meaning __::xx '
updated log-report/nl_NL.po translations
configure native_language for a domain
untranslated messages will still be formatted according to the rules of the native_language

attempts to make test-scripts run on various platforms.

version 0.03: Mon May 28 20:16:26 CEST 2007

Log::Report::Message without msgid forgot append.
Log::Report::Message must clone at concatenation.
remove translations from POT when not referenced anymore, and not translated either.
$@ after try will not show the message, because we want people to use reportAll() or reportFatal().
dispatchers now have a formatreason, defaulting to LOWERCASE which looks nicer than uppercase.
added docs to ::Try
reorganized some docs.
Log::Report::Util lacked the trailing "1;"
fall-back to no translation in case of unknown locale in ::POT
test functionality of setlocale, and hopefully fixed things

version 0.02: Mon May 28 00:49:52 CEST 2007

added HTML documentation to http://perl.overmeer.net/log-report/
added README and Changelog to MANIFEST
filters are not defined on the dispatcher object, but under control of Log::Report::report().
Log::Report::Message new methods append(), msgid(), and prepend()
added Log::Report::Exception and Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try
added isValidReason() and isFatal() to Log::Report
added Log::Report::Message::untranslated();
Log::Report::report() will convert untranslated strings into Log::Report::Message objects internally too.
by David Cantrell via cpan-testers: . require at least perl 5.8.2, for POSIX :local_h and because unique was broken before that release. . t/00use.t cannot test LogDispatch and Gettext, because they depend on optional module . t/50file.t failed because no -t STDERR

version 0.01: Fri May 25 12:13:13 CEST 2007

initial (quite complete) implementation.
