Revision history for Perl extension PAR::Repository::Client.

0.25 Fri Sep 4 21:29 2009

• Fix bug with respect to upgrading and priority (fallback=>0) repositories.
• More caching: Add a timeout before fetching checksums again.

0.24_01 Fri Feb 20 15:21 2009

• Many, many, many improvements to the caching algorithms. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that this will be the first release where the caching works well.
• Inter-run caching of the DBMs with local checksum re-calculation.
• Introduce the private-cache-dir setting for controlling the caching behaviour.
• Caching improves run-time of simple test by factor of three.
• Enforce the use of a temporary directory as a cache dir in the tests much more so we are good CPAN testers citizens.

0.24 Thu Feb 19 17:16 2009

• Promote to stable release

0.23_02 Mon Feb 2 21:14 2009

• Attempt band-aid fix for a better error recovery in case of a failing dependency resolution.
• Fix for the dependencies test (set arch and perl version manually)

0.23_01 Mon Feb 2 01:38 2009

• "static_dependencies" option for automatic resolution of the statically declared dependencies.
• "get_module_dependencies" and "get_script_dependencies" methods returning a list of all PAR distributions from the repository required to use a given module or script.
• Much better abstraction of the (internal) X_dbm methods
• Upgrading the testing repositories to include deps.
• Require PAR 0.985 due to minor bug fix for the "run script from repository" use case.

0.22_01 Sun Jan 25 23:16 2009

• Implement/fix auto-upgrading.
• Require PAR 0.984 for upgrading.
• Require PAR::Dist 0.43 so install_module doesn't fail with newer ExtUtils::Installs

0.21_03 Wed Jan 14 08:00 2009

• Disable File::Temp exclusive locking or else BSD is unhappy.

0.21_02 Tue Jan 13 20:06 2009

• Support for setting custom cache directories with the cache_dir parameter to new().
• Set PAR_TEMP to a real temporary directory with cleanup for the tests so there are not files leftover after testing (RT #30018)

0.21_01 Tue Jan 13 18:00 2009

• Fix return values of modules_dbm and scripts_dbm: Formerly, they would only return the hash (not the file) if the checksums matched.
• Fix return value of need_dbm_update on success. Documented to be the empty list, was 0.
• Fix need_dbm_update in case the checksums had never been fetched before.
• Fix autovivification bug in fetchmodule(). (very minor)
• Fix bug in fetchmodule()
• Much, MUCH better tests.

0.21 Mon Oct 20 20:49 2008

• Simple distribution fix. 0.20 was missing a file. Oops!

0.20 Sun Oct 19 18:20 2008

• Require PAR 0.982: --> Only load PAR.pm when really needed, otherwise load just

  the new PAR::Setup* modules to setup the environment.

• Support for manually specifying the preferred architecture and perl version.

0.18 Tue Jun 3 15:29 2008

• Don't refetch DBM files when deemed not necessary because the checksums match..
• Add getters for dbm checksums in case the repository supports them.
• Add PAR::Repository::Client::Util for small, common private utility methods.

0.17 Sun Jun 1 15:32 2008

• No autoflushing of DBM::Deep objects.

0.16 Mon Oct 15 10:25 2007

• Add http_timeout option for HTTP transport.
• Minor documentation tweaks.

0.15 Mon Oct 29 13:15 2006

• PAR::Repository::Client::prefered_distribution was silently dropping any_version archives because of a typo.

0.14 Mon Oct 12 16:05 2006

• PAR::Repository::Client::HTTP::fetchfile was generating rather long local file names. In fact long enough file names that some systems go belly-up. Now generating shorter file names.
