Revision history for Perl module Net::Server::POP3

• denotes changes that are known to break backward compatibility. - denotes changes that (theoretically) shouldn't do so.

0.0009

• Changed the default EOL to a value that I think should be correct on all platforms (needs testing)
• Included the (still in-progress) gplproxy example in the distribution.
• Improvements to the gplproxy example, including the ability to use MySQL as the backend (since SQLite showed signs of distress trying to handle several days' worth of my rather active mail account) and a hook function to allow some users' mail to not be polled.
• Fixed some bugs in the gplproxy example.
• Documented a bug in Net::Server::POP3 that was uncovered by testing with the gplproxy example. 0.0008 2004 May 25
• That more involved proxy I wanted to write is in progress, but complete and not included yet. Hopefully in a few releases I'll be able to include at least a tentative version of it.
• linetimeout may now be passed to startserver or new to change the line timeout. Default is the same as the old value. See the documentation.
• Updated the POD some more, including the BUGS section.
• Whose bright idea was it to write tests? I find more bugs in the tests than in the code! Fixed another one in t/003_simpletest.t, this time a test miscount. Maybe I should write tests for the tests.</rimshot> 0.0007 2004 May 22
• t/003_simpletest.t, was blowing up under taint mode on some systems on the chdir back to $originaldirectory If it's unsafe to change back to the original current directory, someone explain why, otherwise I've untainted it. Kudos to the CPAN testers for making me aware of this issue.
• Added REQUIRES section to the POD. (Does CPAN.pm look at this?) 0.0006 2004 May 19
• Included a couple of basic tests.
• EOL can now be passed to new() or startserver() at runtime, so that editing POP3.pm is not necessary just to change $EOL. (I still need to actually fix this bug...)
• DEBUG can also be passed to new() or startserver() to set the desired level of debug output at runtime.
• The client's IP address is now passed to the authenticate callback, as documented.
• Various improvements to the POD, for consistency and accuracy and clarity. I think the bug list now has everything I know about. The description now actually describes what the module does, in addition to warning that the code is not release quality. Also, I've labelled the code "beta" rather than "alpha" although there are still sundry things unimplemented.
• Updated the Todo list (woo). 0.0005 2004 April 05
  • The size callback is now passed the username and the message id, for consistency with the other callbacks. Note that this change breaks backward-compatibility for the size callback. simpletest.pl was updated to handle this change.
• Included proxytest.pl, a slightly more involved sample script than simpletest.pl. Thanks to Galion Public Library for this better sample script. When you get mail from it, it gets the mail from your ISP's mailserver on the fly, using Mail::POP3Client. A more advanced proxy that does cacheing and preretrieval is planned for a future release.
• Updated the POD to reflect these changes.
• Fixed (hopefully) the link to the sample script in the POD (note to self: variables don't interpolate in POD), and added a link to the new sample script also.
• Removed most of what was left of the stub documentation.
• Minor change to simpletest.pl to generate better message IDs in the test messages. (Why? Umm, because.)
• Added tests to check that the module loads under Taint mode. 0.0004 2004 March 08
• Minor improvements to the documentation. Attempted to make the documentation on CPAN link to the simpletest.pl script (not sure how that'll turn out).
• Started keeping track of changes (in this file you're reading).
• Fixed minor package scope bug introduced in 0.0003. 0.0003 Feb 13 11:15 2004
• Abstracted network line endings to a $EOL variable until I figure out how to make this work on all platforms and Perl versions.
• Fixed a fencepost error in the delete code that was not exercised by simpletest.pl but was discovered and reported by Christian Neeb. 0.0002 Jan 25 16:50 2004
• first version to be indexed by the indexer, so you can find it on search.cpan.org (0.0001 was not indexed, because it did not unpack into a single directory). Minimal changes. The version number inside POP3.pm was not incremented as it should have been, so may show up as 0.0001 0.0001 Jan 24 19:04 2004
• first version uploaded to CPAN. Very early version, totally incomplete. 0.0000 Dec 30 16:49:29 2003
• original version; created by ExtUtils::ModuleMaker 0.32
