Revision history for ProgressMonitor

0.01 2006-11-27

First version.

0.02 2007-03-20

                Added the setMessage method and associated configuration options for
                the various monitors.

0.03 2007-03-21

        Minor fixes to adjust the tar building (my gnuwin32 tar creates weird
        permissions in the archive).

0.04 2007-03-23

                Replaced wipeAtEnd with atEndStrategy
                Clear any message when ending

0.05 2007-03-27

                Made the Null monitor a singleton
                Made passMessageToParent default to 0 and parentTicks to 1
                Made it allowable to skip calling prepare() and go directly to begin()
                The messageFiller can be blank/undef, causing partial overlay
                Minor help text changes
                messageStart/EndOverlayFields are now 1 based indices.

0.06 2007-04-05

• Fixed a loophole; if maxwidth not set we must fall back to hardcoded 79 unless the Term::Size... stuff returns something worthwhile
• Added a convenience subMonitor method to the interface; makes it cleaner to instantiate a SubTask monitor
• Added a setErrorMessage method and associated support
• Fixed bug where the Bar never indicated empty progress when it was blank
• Mumbo jumbo with getting stuff printed right when backspacing before or after - 'backspaceAfterRender'

0.07 2007-04-11

• Added a clone method to progressmonitors
• made sure error messages are cleaned from ws
• set[Error]Message msgs are no longer mangled, but passed right through
• a msg is passed through as-is if messageStrategy is newline (message filler applied though...should it?)

0.08 2007-04-23

• It's possible to call 'end' directly if no work is needed at all This signals 'completion' of the monitor.
• Avoid treating a 'begin(0)' the same as 'begin()'
• Division by zero in some fields when totalTicks is explicitly '0'.

0.09 2007-05-09

• When using an overlay message on a field shorter than the msg, the rendition became longer than its maxwidth

0.10 2007-05-21

• Removed the setting of ticks == totalTicks at 'end'

0.11 2007-05-25

• Added a new message strategy - 'overlay_newline'.

0.12 2007-05-25

• When streaming a msg with \n at the end, no need to bs then.

0.20 2007-06-08

• changing the setMessage API, to enable setting 'delayed' messages i.e. 'set message on next tick' etc.

0.21 2007-06-08

• the newline message strategy now better handles embedded/trailing \n characters.
• new strategy 'overlay_honor_newline'

0.22 2007-06-11

• when overlaying a message, make sure to restrict it to field size, except when a newline will be printed

0.23 2007-06-14

• added the Dynamic field.

0.24 2007-11-09

• Made end() autocomplete ticks.

0.26 2008-05-21

• Rendering bs after as default exposed a subtle problem when running in putty; after a setErrorMessage (with implicit newlines), bs was printed anyway causing output to be overwritten

0.27 2008-05-21

• Silly mistake, bug for 0.26 fixed in file not part of this tree...redone.

0.28 2008-08-28

• Added a way to change the text in a Fixed field.

0.30 2008-08-28

• Added a way to change the text in a Dynamic field.

0.31 (clearly dropped the ball on this ver, must retrack and see what I did)

0.32 2010-06-11

                Unsure what happened...all versions were removed on CPAN and to be able to
                upload again, I have to bump the version number. No change from 0.31 (which,
                as I mention above has an undocumented change from 0.30).

0.33 2010-06-14

Bumping to try to get an acceptable format for the PAUSE indexer. No changes.
