Revision history for Perl extension Win32::TieRegistry.

0.26 Sun 19 Apr 2009

• Removing legacy Install.bat
• Moving existing test script to t directory
• Moving pm files into lib
• Cleaned up the legacy Tie::Registry so it has POD (that mostly just says it is deprecated)
• Migrated test to Test::More

0.25 missing

0.24 2001-02-06 19:00

• Silenced error that could appear "at random" during "cleanup":

  (Can't call method "FETCH" on an undefined value)

• Added a nearly trivial test suite.

0.23 1999-07-03 00:06

• Fixed two embarrassing typographical errors.
• Using invalid REG_ or KEY_ constant as string now detected.
• With ArrayValues(1), $key->{NonExistantValueName} used to return C<[]> but now returns C<undef> [or C<()>]. Old code like C<if( $reg->{value}->[0] )> should still work but now can be improved to C<if( $reg->{value} )> [which used to always be true when the ArrayValues option was enabled].
• All implicit C<return>s made explicit [C<$val;> to C<return $val;>].
• Simplified C<return wantarray ? () : undef> to C<return ()>.

0.22 1999-04-09 22:13

• C<new Win32::TieRegistry> and "Win32::TieRegistry->new" now work.
• CreateKey()'s "disposition" argument now can get its string value set to "REG_CREATED_NEW_KEY" or "REG_OPENED_EXISTING_KEY".
• GetOptions()'s fancier usages defined.
• New documentation section on exports [C<use> and C<import()>].
• New documentation section on best ways to use symbolic constants.
• New documentation section on probable future directions.
• Minor documentation fixes.

0.21 1998-09-17 14:49

• Remove a few "harmless" warnings reported by C<-w>.

0.20 1998-07-14 14:14

• Renamed to Win32::TieRegistry.
• Added options: SplitMultis, FixSzNulls, DWordToHex, DualBinVals, and DualTypes.
• Added hooks for future option, TieValues.
• Most methods now return a tied ref. if called via one: Open(), Load(), Connect(), and CreateKey().
• Changed import() to support setting options.
• More options on what to "export" and to where.
• Each time you C<use>, you get a separate copy of $Registry.
• New methods: Clone(), GetOptions(), and SetOptions().
• Flush() no longer calls RegFlushKey() by default.
• Optimize deletes to be faster in void contexts.
• If delete OK but fetch of old val failed, have C<delete> return $^E.
• "Disposition" option to CreateKey() no longer considered invalid.
• CreateKey() always used OS_Delimiter to parse subkey paths.
• Load()'s second argument can now be new subkey name.
• Load() via remote key w/o specific new subkey name no longer tries to load into local LMachine.
• Finished POD.

0.15 1998-07-14 14:14

• "Stub" version of Tie::Registry for backward compatibility only.

0.14 Never released

• Added Install.bat for people without a version of "make".
• Report key path when STORE fails.

0.13 1998-03-31 20:50

• "Delimiter" now spelled correctly throughout (sigh).
• SetValue now translates "REG_*" strings to numeric constants.
• Removed dependance on $^E being tied to Win32::GetLastError().

0.12 1997-12-29 10:11

• misc.

0.10 1997-11-21 15:08
