0.7.1 Oct 31, 2010

New Features:

• Commits have a "uuid" accessor, that allows you to uniquely identify a particular Commit universally across all repositories.
• To help implement the "uuid" accessor, VCI objects themselves now have two new boolean methods: revisions_are_universal, and revisions_are_global (documented in the POD for VCI.pm).

0.6.3 Oct 15, 2010

• Make the CVS driver compatible with the date output format of CVS 1.12.

0.6.2 Aug 28, 2010

• Fix the META.yml in the VCI package to have the correct version numbers.

0.6.1 Aug 24, 2010

• VCI now explicitly requires Perl 5.8. (We probably always did actually require 5.8, because some of our dependencies did.)
• The POD has all been reviewed and improved, for every module.
• VCI is no longer alpha-quality software, and so all such statements to that effect have been removed from the POD.
• The VCI package now uses Module::Install instead of Module::Build

New Features:

• There is a new "revno" accessor for Commit objects. "revision" now always represents the global revision id, if the VCS has one.
• Commit objects have an "author" accessor in addition to the "committer" accessor, for VCSes that understand those things as separate concepts.
• Added a new method to VCI.pm, "missing_requirements", to assist downstream consumers in figuring out what needs to be installed in order for certain VCI::VCS modules to work.
• Svn: More debug output available.

API Changes:

• A Commit's "moved" accessor now has Committable objects (File or Directory objects) for its values instead of strings.
• Bzr: A Commit's "revision" accessor now returns a revid instead of a revision number. This also means that every method that takes "revision" as an argument works on revids intead of revision numbers.

  Optimizations

• VCI now does nearly all of its internal class loading on-demand instead of during compile time. This eliminates dependency loops and probably helps some with startup time.

Bug Fixes:

• The Cvs driver was unable to parse certain valid commit histories, meaning that sometimes commits would be missing. The parser has been re-written to be faster and more reliable.

0.5.4 Aug 13, 2010

• Most modules that used to be optional are now required, to improve the amount of testing that we get, and to simplify configuration for downstream consumers.
  • A few minor POD and test improvements.

0.5.3 Feb 14, 2009

Bug Fixes:

• Cvs and Bzr: Drivers now work when IPC::Cmd > 0.41 is installed.
• Bzr: Now works reliably with bzr > 1.15.
• Git: $commit->message now once again returns the literal message, exactly as it was typed in, with modern versions of Git.
• Hg: History and Commit info was broken with recent versions of hgweb, and now works.

0.5.2 Jan 7, 2009

• Fix a test failure that only happens when using the XS in recent Class::MOP releases.

0.5.1 Jan 2, 2008

• No API changes, just major performance enhancements.

Bug Fixes:

• Systems with cvsps 2.2 will now work, when using the Cvs driver. (Older versions of cvsps are still fine, also.)
• The Svn driver was broken with newer versions of Subversion.

0.4.1 Jan 10, 2008

• VCI is now taint-safe in all drivers except for Git.

Bug Fixes:

• SECURITY: Versions prior to this one fall victim to CPAN RT ID 31738, meaning that drivers that interact with the command line were vulnerable to command injection.
• VCI no longer throws warnings if you give it "undef" for the "debug" argument to VCI->connect. (This mostly affected the Bzr driver.)
• Svn: root_project->root_directory now works.
• Svn: Tests should now pass on Svn versions < 1.4.

API Changes:

• We use Moose's support for "generics" (like ArrayRef[Int]) instead of having our own Array types, now.
• We use Moose's lazy_build, meaning that all build functions changed to "buildblah" instead of "build_blah"
• All of our internal subtypes now start with "VCI::Type::", since I found out that Moose's type names are global.

0.3.1 Dec 3, 2007

New Features:

• Repository has a root_project to represent the idea that in some VCSes, the entire repository can be looked at as one Project.
• FileContainer has contents_history_recursive, which gives a History for the contents of that directory and the contents of all its directories, etc.

  Optimizations

• Calling Bzr::Project::history should now be much faster, particularly on large projects.
• Calling Svn::Project::get_commit and Svn::Committable::history should be faster, in most situations.

Bug Fixes:

• Make the bzr tests work with modern versions of bzr. (Fix the parsing of the --version output.)
• History::union was sorting by revision number instead of by time.
• Getting the contents of an Svn directory would sometimes fail. Thanks to Sam Vilain for help with the fix!
• Cvs always said the timezone of commits was the local timezone. Now it's always UTC, to be consistent on all machines.

0.2.1 Fri, Sep 17, 2007

• We now explicitly require Perl 5.6.0, which is what Perl::MinimumVersion says we require. No promises that all our dependencies work with 5.6.0, though.

New Features:

• Added File::content, which allows you to get the actual raw content of a file at its particular revision.
• Added File::content_size, which allows you to get the size of the file in bytes at its particular revision.
• Added Project::head_revision, which returns the revision ID that represents "head" in the Project.
• You can now specify "revision" to get_file to get a particular revision of that file.

API Changes:

• Project::get_commit now takes named parameters instead of a single positional parameter.
• Project::get_history_by_time no longer has an "at" argument. (Use get_commit(time => 'blah') instead.)
• Svn's FileOrDirectory is now both a VCI::Abstract::File and a VCI::Abstract::Directory, instead of being neither.

  Optimizations

• Hg's File::history should now be much faster, as gets the information directly from Hg instead of building it from the Project's History.

Bug Fixes:

• Sometimes Cvs's File::content was including extra garbage at the end of the actual file content.
• Specifying a value greater than 1 for "debug" in VCI->connect was throwing an error.
• Cvs wasn't dying correctly when a command failed.
• File::is_executable wasn't correctly specified as being Bool.
• Svn should now correctly delete temp files created by Commit::as_diff after build_as_diff returns.

0.1.2 Tue, Sep 11, 2007

• Added tests for Committable ::history, ::first_revision, and ::last_revision.
• Committable was always returning a Bzr::History instead of the correct History object.

  Hg

  • History was in reverse order.
  • Commit::contents would fail if there were no changes to any files in the commit.
  • Files in Commit ::added, ::modified, ::removed, and ::contents didn't have their "revision" and "time" set.

  Svn

  -Commit ::last_revision and ::first_revision were broken.

0.1.1 Mon, Sep 10, 2007

New Features:

• Commit objects now have an as_diff accessor, which allows you to get that particular commit as a "diff" from the VCS. This adds a requirement of Text::Diff::Parser 0.07.

API Changes:

• get_path, get_file, and get_directory now take a single named argument, "path", instead of a single un-named argument.

Bugs Fixed:

• Added tests for all the drivers, which fixed a lot of bugs. In short, don't use any version of VCI before this one.

For VCI Developers:

• If you set the VCI_TEST_DEBUG environment variable, it will be passed as the "debug" argument to VCI->connect, allowing you to see more information from the driver about what's going on in the test.
• You can set VCI_REMOTE_TESTS = 1 in your environment to run tests that involve accessing machines over the Internet.

0.0.3 Fri, Aug 31, 2007

• Svn history was broken when the repo history contained copied items.

0.0.2 Fri, Aug 31, 2007

• Bzr's history and contents were broken.
• Svn's history was broken.
• Git driver had some debug code left in that was breaking history.

0.0.1 Tue, Aug 28, 2007

• Support for CVS
• Test::Warn was missing from build_requires
• Cleaned up documentation
• Committables now can never be created with just time and no revision.
