Revision history for Perl extension RTF::Writer

Time-stamp: "2003-11-04 02:20:02 AST"

2003-11-04 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org

• Release 1.11
• Minor bugfix version
• Vitor Hugo reports a problem where ->image and ->image_paragraph when called with a picspecs parameter would forget to put whitespace before the start of the picture data. Fixed!
• A few little doc typoes fixed.

2003-10-14 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org

• Release 1.10
• Loïc Bourgeois catches a nasty error with $rtf->image -- it generates one more } than {'s, unbalancing the whole document! (No problem with image_paragraph, though.) Fixed!
• Tests rewritten to use File::Spec instead of chdir'ing.
• Added tests for well-formedness ({}-matching).

2003-09-26 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org

• Release 1.09
• Just fixed the Makefile.PL to declare the Image::Size dependency.

2003-09-23 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org

• Release 1.08
• Now supports borders and alignment in table cells.
• Now supports embedding images, thanks to some pointers from David Thielen.
• CHANGE: previously tables by default had no borders. Now they have a thin solid-line border, by default. (The original behavior was an accident on my part, by the way.)
• More tests.
• No longer requires utf8, thanks to a hack adapted from Slaven Rezic: BEGIN { eval {require utf8}; $INC{"utf8.pm"} = "dummy_value" if $@ } use utf8;

2002-12-07 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org

• Release 1.07

        Bugfix: changed internal object %Escape to @Escape, to get around
        some utf8 bugs in hash lookups on utf8-strings.

        Bugfix: Now handles Unicode characters.  But now requires
        the utf8 module.  Probably won't work under versions before 5.6 --
        altho you could always create a utf8.pm consisting of just "1;".

        Bugfix: minor change to the code that inserts newlines in the
        output RTF.  Previous versions could erroneously change
        "\foo \bar" to "\foo[NL] \bar".  Now correctly changes to
        "\foo [NL]\bar".

        Bugfix: the pod documented a new_to_handle, but the routine was
        previously called new_to_fh.  Now there's a new new_to_handle
        aliases to new_to_handle.

        Added compile-time assertion that module is running in an ASCII
        world.  It never worked right under EBCDIC (etc) anyway.

        Full Unicode support doesn't really turn on unless you're under
        Perl 5.7 or later.  Altho you can force it by turning on
        $RTF::Writer::Unicode.  I do this to get around some segfaulty
        errors under 5.6.

2001-07-27 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org

• Release 1.06 -- bugfix: TableRowDecl would emit pointless warnings because of int()ing an undefined value. Fixed.

2001-06-21 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org

• Release 1.05 -- bugfix: on failure, new_to_file stupidly reported $1 instead of $!. Ironic, huh? Fixed.

2001-05-27 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org

• Release 1.04 -- fixing some doc typos caught by Matt Olson <matto@advanis.ca> and "David D. Kilzer" <ddkilzer@theracingworld.com>

2001-05-16 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org

• Release 1.03 -- Just fixing minor typos in the docs.

2001-04-26 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org

• Release 1.02 -- no substantive changes; just fixing the horribly screwed up makefile.

2001-04-24 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org

• Release 1.01 -- first public release
