=== version history of XML::Compile

Unless noted otherwise, these changes where initiated and applied by Mark Overmeer.

To be resolved:

• handle XML::LibXML::Error objects
• useSchema() relation to ::Cache::declare()?
• proposed new schema features: . alternative http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-xml11pt2/#N103D7 . ::Instance cannot handle element and attribute declaration attribute "targetNamespace" (proposed schema feature)
• namespace blocking option for templates; exclude deprecated elements
• when you use appendChild i.s.o. addChild, the namespace declarators are managed automatically correct, saving a wrapper in the writer and avoiding the prefix trick. [Roman Daniel]. Nicer, but would affect the whole code and most tests.
• errors on types should show dynamic nested location in structure, not path in schema.

version 1.22: Mon Jun 20 14:25:14 CEST 2011

Fixes

• man-page of bin/schema2example told that the name of the program still was xml2example.
• template: show occurance of ANY elements.
• initialize XML::LibXML::Parser into safe mode. rt.cpan.org#68803 [Yann Kerherve]

Improvements

• template: with restrictions on any and anyAttribute namespaces, show prefixes not full names except for the default namespace.
• template: correct example of simpleType list.
• template: remove superfluous element name from default/fixed/nil

version 1.21: Fri Dec 24 10:20:15 CET 2010

Fixes

• some tests fail with new versions of Test::More

version 1.20: Wed Dec 22 16:34:24 CET 2010

Changes

• ::Schema::compile(include_namespaces) with a personal filter will now be called for all known namespaces, not only the used namespaces. (Needed to reseolve qname problems)

Fixes

• added missing formatter when both totalDigits and fractionDigits are restricted. rt.cpan.org#63464 [mimoÅ�-cz]

Improvements

• base64Binary length facet implemented with new MIME::Base64::decoded_base64_length()
• disable t/55facet_list.t tests for old libxml2 versions, because the used regexp is broken in those releases, causing daily mails from cpantesters.

version 1.19: Mon Oct 25 00:06:25 CEST 2010

Fixes

• template: missing '{' in some cases [Patrick Powell]
• unsignedInt max value has 10 digits, not 9. Repair validation limit. rt.cpan.org#62281 [Aleksey Mashanov]
• fix pod problem in ::FAQ, spotted by [Patrick Powell]
• added missing built-in type dateTimeStamp.
• writer: implemented/fixed length validation of base64Binary and hexBinary.
• implemented/fixed enumeration validation of a QName type rt.cpan.org#62237 [Aleksey Mashanov]

Improvements

• ::Instance does not look for 'ref' attributes, because that cannot be used on top-level elements and types.
• ::Instance only collects info about type lazily, which speeds-up applications with huge schemas which are only partially used. In general it uses less memory.
• rewrote administration of substitutionGroups to access it faster. This may change the examples produced in template.
• new ::Namespaces::doesExtend() to walk inheritance, tested in t/02ext.t

version 1.18: Thu Sep 30 17:00:29 CEST 2010

Fixes

• hexBinary processing was simply wrong.
• template: call parameters of replace hook.
• writer: substitutionGroup of simpleType value 0 got ignored.
• template: recursive substitutionGroups with abstracts will not crash.
• template: apply key rewrite also on unqualified names.
• preferred prefix for SCHEMA2001i is xsi, not xs

Improvements

• added explanation how to use hexBinary and base64Binary.
• reorganized the ::Schema manpage a little.
• template: show types in prefixed form, not qname.
• template: show enums which contain blanks within quotes.
• template: if a simpletype has facet enumeration, one of those values will be used as example.
• template: always lead a block display by a blank line, not only when there is comment.
• template: do also show types of complex elements.
• template: show types of alternatives to substitutionGroups
• template: show when an substitutionGroups is abstract (not instantiatable)
• template: pick an non-abstract alternative as example for a substitionGroup. Let it point to a correct example value if available.

version 1.17: Thu Sep 23 09:31:40 CEST 2010

Changes

• removed 'IGNORE' choice for abstract_types options. Either they produce and ERROR or you ACCEPT them in your message, ignoring them to be abstract.
• move t/99pod.t to xt/ which removes dependency from Test::Pod

Fixes

• writer: do not complain about mal-formatted integers when validation is off [Titi Ala'ilima]
• reader: do not complain about mal-formed integers when validation is off.
• template: do not show "TEMPLATE_ERROR" when the defaults of fields are '0'.
• template: did not show extensions of abstract types.
• template: fix line folding with long words.
• template: remove double blanks before '['

Improvements

• template: report wrong value of action parameter before anything else.
• template: show reason for empty sequences
• template: do not show abstract types in substitutionGroups

version 1.16: Tue Jun 15 15:16:29 CEST 2010

Fixes

• template: processing of nillable objects. rt.cpan.org#58321 [Max Cohan]
• the chaching needed for recursive schemas, did not contain xsi:type logic. [Knut Arne Bjørndal]

version 1.15: Mon May 10 15:20:17 CEST 2010

Fixes

• reader: namespace qualified attributes. Discovered by [Heiko Jansen]
• reader: namespace of attributeGroups.
• writer: namespace qualified fixed value attribute.

Improvements

• remove out-dated constants from the ::BuildInTypes manual-page
• ::Translate::keyRewrite accepts split ns/local as well. This avoids clumpsy pack/unpack.

version 1.14: Mon Apr 26 09:39:28 CEST 2010

Fixes

• ::Template(PERL) improve key_rewrite use.
• xsi:type when schema-namespace has the default prefix and the user defined elements/types are namespace-less. [Brendan Knox]
• ::Writer report misfit failed due to reuse of $@
• correct validation of type "duration" by [Titi Ala'ilima]

Improvements

• with xsi_type switches of simple types, the value is translated into a HASH containing that value, so the XSI_TYPE can be added.
• add check for dateTime and duration validation.
• ::Template(PERL) add start line '# Describing ....'
• ::Template(PERL) explicit list blocked default prefix.

version 1.13: Sun Feb 21 00:09:24 CET 2010

Fixes

• xsi:type switch between elements based on the same abstract type. Reported by [Roman Daniel]
• template: display of fixed and default elements. [Anton Berezin]
• writer: add attributes to display of available tags in case of problems.

Improvements

• template: show more details about applicable facets.

version 1.12: Mon Jan 11 11:46:43 CET 2010

Fixes

• writer: optional block was not optional [Roman Daniel]
• accept xsi:type with alternative in namespace which is not used by the schema itself [Roman Daniel]

version 1.11: Fri Jan 8 12:37:23 CET 2010

Fixes

• forgot to document the new xsi_type option to ::Schema::compile()
• implement facets on lists correctly. Tests in new t/55facet_list.t Pushed by rt.cpan.org #53392 [Ð�иколай ШÑfлÑ�ковÑ�кий]

version 1.10: Thu Dec 24 16:56:13 CET 2009

Changes

• keyRewrite now also applies to attributes.

Fixes

• writer sometimes destroyed the data-structure which was passed in. Now automatically tested for each test_rw.
• support sub-seconds in time format.
• writer: do not produce an empty element when minOccurs is combined with nillable in a complexType. rt.cpan.org#51264 [Roman Daniel]
• ::Iterator::currentType() could crash.

Improvements

• writer: major readibility changes.
• all: implemented xsi:type
• template: do not produce superfluous quotes in Perl template examples when anonymous HASH of ARRAY is included.

version 1.09: Fri Nov 13 10:56:45 CET 2009

Fixes

• writer: do not produce an empty element when minOccurs is combined with nillable in a simpleType rt.cpan.org#51264 [Roman Daniel]

Improvements

version 1.08: Sat Oct 24 20:11:10 CEST 2009

Fixes

• reader: fix last parameter of replacement hook

Improvements

• template: support for key_rewrite
• use the new XML::LibXML::RegExp, to replace tricky XML::RegExp.

version 1.07: Mon Jun 22 11:35:22 CEST 2009

Fixes

• mixed attribute on complexContent not detected.
• anyType elements which have sub-elements will not stringify, but only simple strings will get simplified. Otherwise, an XML::LibXML::Node is kept.

Improvements

• reader: anyType element processing can be hooked via a new compile(any_type) option.
• partial support for attribute targetNamespace on element and attribute declarations. Currently produces a warning.

version 1.06: Thu May 28 10:28:45 CEST 2009

Fixes

• prefer simpleType child over base type attribute in simpleContent/restriction. rt.cpan.org#46212 [Erich Weigand]

Improvements

• ignore all references to an (unloaded) schema, for instance with deprecated structures via ::compile(block_namespace) with tests in t/76blocked.t
• fixed tests in t/91noqual.t
• include t/75type.t in the distribution.
• added test for base64Binary to t/21types.t
• reader and writer: replace hook also gets code-ref able to process what is being replaced, implementing a wrapper.

version 1.05: di apr 28 13:04:42 CEST 2009

Improvements

• writer: accept single element for tagged and mixed.
• writer: accept scalar for mixed, upgraded to text node.

version 1.04: Fri Apr 24 16:08:43 CEST 2009

Fixes

• the use of cached schema elements must be limited to single ::Schema objects (for instance per WSDL object). rt.cpan.org#44959 [Jozef Kutej]
• complex extension of anyType types.

Improvements

• document that key_rewrite only applies to elements, not attributes.
• add 'target_namespace' overrule option to importDefinitions() and ::Schema::addSchemas()
• have ::Schema::new() pass options to importDefinitions()
• added various entries about fixing-up schema's to the FAQ.

version 1.03: Wed Mar 25 15:41:43 CET 2009

Fixes

• template: protect output against combinatorial explosion, which did hurt [Anton Berezin]

Improvements

• new option ::Schema::compile(abstract_types)
• template: compact the output of substitutionGroups, leaving the abstract types out and use columns in the display.
• template: add namespace details to XML and PERL output
• template: add header to XML and PERL output. New option ::Schema::template(skip_header)

version 1.02: Thu Feb 12 11:37:49 CET 2009

Fixes

• fix useSchema() deep recursion
• writer: repair ARRAY complaint when scalar given on place where an array of values is acceptable. [Allan Wind]

version 1.01: Thu Feb 12 09:39:50 CET 2009

Fixes

• do not use /bin/pwd in t/pod.t
• writer: report warnings when accepting a difficult construction.
• key_rewrite(PREFIXED) options now do stack, without the possibility to get it rewritten twice.
• reader: complain if no data was recognized. [Jozef Kutej]

Improvements

• ::Schema::useSchema() let you share definitions between various ::Schema extensions.
• document that XML::Compile::dataToXML() can be used as instance method as well.

version 1.00: Wed Jan 21 10:51:23 CET 2009

Changes

• oops, rename elementFormDefault parameters into element_form_default. Breaks only XML::Compile::SOAP 2.00_01
• substitutionGroup keys did not get prefixed, when key_rewrite was enabled.

Fixes

• writer: name-space qualified for NIL [Mark Blackman]
• template: be more careful not to put trailing '}' on a line with comment.
• writer: contents of tagged elements were not processed, so not checked or whitespace corrected.
• report rewritten key when required value is missing, not the full key.
• compile(mixed_elements=STRUCTURAL) was ignored when the mixed option was found with the complexContent.

Improvements

• template: hook "COLLAPSE" to reduce output size for well-known types.
• writer: accept {_ => $value} as alternative for $value.
• writer: optimize seq block with one block element.
• added XML::Compile::Util::even_elements()
• writer: show available tags in complex block with unused tags when in debug mode.
• show substitutionGroup members in debug mode. Requires Log::Report v0.21
• make addHooks() use addHook(), easier to override.
• reader: elements with mixed="true" by default only unpacks the ATTRIBUTES. It is hard to figure-out why the node is not translated into Perl. Therefore, the resulting HASH now contains a MIXEDELEMENT_MODE key as explanation.
• with "Log::Report mode => 'DEBUG'", you may get extra help on some errors.

version 0.99: Mon Dec 29 10:16:28 CET 2008

Changes

• reset "used count" when include_namespaces
• Qname will not complain about "unused namespace", because that is often not true. If true, than you have to provide a the compile(prefixes) as HASH with used flag set.

Fixes

• elements and attributes with non-default "form" attribute were not recognized.
• type-based replace hook selected too often.

Improvements

• compile(include_namespaces) can have a code reference to filter included namespace declarations to be included.
• addSchemas/importDefinitions now have options {element,attribute}FormDefault to overrule the (missing) info in many (old) schemas (even those of soap and wsdl).
• dataToXML() also finds filenames in the SCHEMADIR, not only known namespaces. That was always intended to happen.
• optimize reading of complex with zero or one component.
• new reader hook after => 'NODE_TYPE'
• error when schema definition contains components of other namespaces.
• you now can compile types only, where the schema does not contain the definition of the element which will be produced. But I will not tell you how until the interface has settled ;-)

version 0.98: Tue Dec 16 08:32:04 CET 2008

Fixes

• writer failed for choice with an element containing a false value, like "0" or ''. Reported by [Sander Hulst]
• do not attempt to add namespace declarations to produced attributes in the writer.
• elements with minOccurs=0/maxOccurs=unbounded and optional content failed. rt.cpan.org#41725 [Osfameron]

Improvements

• easier to understand error messages in block writer.
• started XML::Compile::FAQ

version 0.97: Mon Nov 24 15:51:54 CET 2008

Fixes

• dataToXML() with document node will return document element.
• dateTime reversed minutes/seconds. Fixed by [Allan Wind]
• dateTime timezone part is optional. Fixed in docs by [Allan Wind]
• count error with array of elements writer, when maxOccurs is an integer value larger than 1. An error will be produced when too many elements are provided.

Improvements

• bigfloat support for xml2yaml [Slaven Rezic]

version 0.96: Fri Oct 10 16:02:09 CEST 2008

Fixes

• warning condition on old libxml2 version was broken: warned too often. rt.cpan.org#39807 [Joerg Plate]
• overruling "qualified" on top-level elements did not work anymore.
• writer hook "replace" crashed on missing (optional) data.

version 0.95: Wed Oct 1 17:38:07 CEST 2008

Fixes

• top-level elements could not be have as nillable, default, and fixed. rt.cpan.org#39215 [Tom Hukins]
• do pattern match on unmodified float values. rt.cpan.org#39224 [MIROD]
• automatically defined xsi when any element is nillable. You will still need to specify "include_namespaces => 1" to have the compiler add the name-space definition to the root namespace. For the moment only supports SCHEMA2001
• the applications of facets is explicitly ordered, to avoid colissions between checks in lexical space and conversions made in value-space.
• accept but ignore minScale and maxScale facets (cannot be represented in Perl objects yet)
• removed facet totalFracDigits, which does not exist. How did it get in?
• precissionDecimal was handled as int, should be float.
• positiveInteger value check broken. [Sander Hulst]
• accept the 'error' base-type.

Improvements

• small (<1e9) float/decimal values will not become Math::Big*
• facet lists and non-lists various optimizations in reader.
• pre-lexical facet whiteSpace on list does not need to be checked in writer.
• handling of (+|-|)INF and NaN for precissionDecimals, floats and doubles.
• adapt names of test helpers to new X::C::Tester standard. v0.03 of that module is now required.

version 0.94: Tue Aug 26 10:09:05 CEST 2008

Fixes

• repair whitespace facets collapse and replace. [Allan Wind]
• NMTOKEN has no blanks, but token may have them. rt.cpan.org#38675 [Allan Wind]

Improvements

• show more useful features of Log::Report in ::Schema SYNOPSIS

version 0.93: Mon Aug 11 21:13:22 CEST 2008

Changes

• changed order of attributes back to situation of 0.90: the base-class attributes are probably more important than the attributes of the extension.
• groups with maxOccurs > 1 renamed from gr_<label of first element> into gr_<name of group> For example, when parsing schemas themselves (with PREFIXED) was gr_xs_minExclusive now gr_xs_facets minExclusive is the name of the first element in the group was gr_xs_minExclusive now gr_xs_facets minExclusive is the name of the first element in the group block. xs:facets is the name of the group as used in the schema schema and probably more consistent over releases.

Fixes

• documentation on use of typemaps and hooks got mutulated in 0.90

version 0.92: Wed Aug 6 11:33:27 CEST 2008

Fixes

• minOccurs=0 in writer. Reported by [Drew Taylor]

Improvements

• WRITER "after" hook also gets the data, not only the produced XML.
• extra tests for extension of empty complexType.

version 0.91: Fri Aug 1 13:25:26 CEST 2008

Changes

• removed block_label from ::Util because it does not work with key rewrite. Probably not used by anyone.
• "any" without maxOccurs>1 did still return an ARRAY, which is inconsequent. Needed to be fixed.
• the output order of attributes has changed: the extended additions before the base class attributes. This does not change the meaning, but may be painful for your regression tests.
• writer adds prefixes always in the same order (alphabetic) to ease regression-tests.

Fixes

• Do not confuse un-used keys as 'any' elements in WRITER
• key rewrite PREFIXED did not work with blocks.
• QNAME in name-space-less schema's can go without prefix.
• Fixed QName in list. Tests in new t/74qname.t
• undouble attributes when extending types.
• ::Schema::compile(use_default_prefix) renamed into use_default_namespace, which was already used in the ::Translate docs. Both names will work.
• WRITER production errors did not arrive correctly to the application. Reported by [Gert Doering]
• particle block handling in the WRITER was not as sophisticated as in the READER, which cause problems reported by [Gert Doering]
• groups which ref'd to an other name-spaces did not use the new targetNamespace.
• READER when choice/sequence/all with minOccurs=0 in the middle of a list of elements failed if the data was not present.

Improvements

• List existence of XML::Rewrite.
• Collect prefix-table when reading.
• better error when an any_(element|attribute) is not understood.
• the writer will attempt to use the same prefixes as used in the schema, unless these name-spaces are already pre-defined in the 'prefixes' table.
• be more careful that empty text fragments do not end-up as text nodes in the WRITER output.
• some error message did not show the path in the message where the error was produced.

version 0.90: Fri Jul 18 21:52:52 CEST 2008

Changes

• It was permitted to use an ARRAY with one element where a single elements was needed in the WRITER. This has been removed because it did not work together with simpleType lists.
• Reworked the three back-ends from functional into clean OO. Module renames: ::Schema::Translate -> ::Translate ::Schema::XmlReader -> ::Translate::Reader ::Schema::XmlWriter -> ::Translate::Writer ::Schema::Template -> ::Translate::Template All functions renamed into methods from element_wrapper into makeElementWrapper

Improvements

• you can now register new translator back-ends.

version 0.89: Sat Jul 12 12:40:57 CEST 2008

Fixes

• pattern restrictions on lists must be applied "late", after the split.
• repair facets on lists.
• complexType/complexContent/restriction will only redefine the elements, but will still take the attributes from the base-class. Tests in new t/45ctcres.t
• disabled a broken pattern optimization.

Changes

• ::Schema::compile() options anyElement and anyAttribute renamed to the consequent any_element and any_attribute. The old names are still supported.

Improvements

• xml2yaml output filename '-' for STDOUT
• xml2yaml exit when illegal options were detected
• mixed_elements option STRUCTURAL now also works for writers.

version 0.88: Tue Jul 8 10:38:26 CEST 2008

Fixes

• SubstitutionGroups do not require to be based on abstract elements.
• include name-space while collecting nodes to read, not only local-names. Now nodes with the same local-name but different name-space can be used in one block or substituteGroup.
• make rewrite work for substitutionGroups

Improvements

• error when abstract elements are being used, tests in t/34abstract.t
• more speed at subst-group lookups.
• template shows empty blocks explicitly.

version 0.87: Fri Jul 4 15:12:17 CEST 2008

Changes

• removed /el() and #el(name) from location of error message, which makes the location simpler and probably not less clear.

Improvements

• implemented key_rewrite, tests in t/73rewrite.t
• removed double check for existence of required value in writer.
• renamed ::Schema::new() option 'output_namespaces' into the nicer 'prefixes'. Old name still available.

version 0.86: Mon Jun 23 17:01:43 CEST 2008

Fixes

• fixed attributes are always optional, both in reader and writer.
• fixed elements are optional, but do return that value as default in the reader.
• class labels to group error messages should be spelled _class in ::Translate.
• fix choice with multiple substitutionGroups or any's.

Changes

• mixed element default will always return a HASH, not a node when there are no attributes defined.

Improvements

• many more options to handle mixed elements. See ::Schema::compile option mixed_elements.
• error for typemaps which specify a none-existing type, as coding help.
• error when both default and fixed are set.

version 0.85: Mon Jun 16 15:07:23 CEST 2008

Fixes

• template with multiple name-spaces crashed on the handling of prefixes.
• permit empty substitutionGroups.

Improvements

• template will show facets, when only simple enumerate or pattern restrictions are used.
• switch network access explicitly off for default parser, to avoid unexpected network access.
• fixes in manual-page footer.
• reordering methods in documentation
• few additional trace statements

version 0.84: Fri Jun 6 12:50:21 CEST 2008

Fixes

• element and attribute qualification was incorrect when
  • a complex was extended, based on a type in an other name-space
  • substitutionGroup elements from different name-spaces were combined
• xs:pattern was missing
• output of any and anyAttribute in example templates.
• capability to write an empty list
• accept default for list. Reported by [Peter Hartmann].
• interpret empty content as missing for elements with a default, as the spec wants.

Changes

• you cannot use an ARRAY with one element where one element is required in the WRITER. (conflicts with list type needs)

Improvements

• better template examples for ID and family.
• improve documentation on how 'boolean' is handled. Spotted by [Allan Wind]
• list XML::Compile::Cache as available module.
• printIndex() got filter option 'kind'
• simplified the prefix generation algorithm.

• gYear has no month fragment, but has an optional timezone rt.cpan.org#35699 [Daniel Carrol]
• recursion detected where there wasn't. [Sander Hulst]

Changes

• template output in Perl will not start with "type =>", so can directly be used as test message. Requested by [Alan Wind]
• template output in Perl will not quote the objects, where "mixed" elements need to be inserted.

Improvements

• minor fix to template for substgroup
• warn on useless type assertions (uncheckable types), not panic.
• start of testing calling convensions (to be more flexible in the future) in t/22call.t
• implemented hooks for templates.
• implemented typemaps in PERL example templates, not for XML templates (yet).
• weaken circular reference in Instance.

version 0.81: Tue Apr 29 18:57:48 CEST 2008

• template Perl did quote keys with length 1.
• template warning resolved in example value for nonNegativeInt
• template Perl did not show '_' for a tagged element, and did show an example twice.

• required is XML::RegExp for pattern to regexp translations.
• NMTOKENS, IDREFS, and ENTITIES where not processed as list type (not spilt into an ARRAY)

Improvements

• remove annoying extra component in the location shown in errors, which appeared with element refs.

version 0.74: Thu Apr 10 23:17:18 CEST 2008

Improvements

• removed "try => GMP" from Math::BigInt invocation, because Linux distributions currently have v1.77 which does not support try. Documented how you can get the performance improvements yourself. rt.cpan.org #34817 [Jesper Krogh]
• lowered requiremet for Math::BigInt to 1.77.

version 0.73: Tue Apr 8 23:47:05 CEST 2008

Fixes

version 0.72: Tue Mar 25 10:22:39 CET 2008

Fixes

• [Drew Taylor] experienced that 'time' basic type was not implemented.
• ::Template::anyElement fix [Drew Taylor]
• timezoneFrag is optional, wrongly implemented in many regexes.
• ::Template::union incorrectly processed [Drew Taylor]

Improvements

• document that XML::LibXML nodes can be specified on any location for WRITERs. (feature was added in 0.70)
• document how to handle mixed content.

version 0.71: Tue Mar 18 16:52:34 CET 2008

Fixes

• require Math::BigInt 1.78, to understand 'try'
• cannot run t/59big tests with BigInt GMP library.

version 0.70: Fri Mar 14 17:35:22 CET 2008

Fixes

• document that ::Schema::compile(check_occurs) default value is true, not false.
• maxOccurs==0 now works. Some tools use it, but it is silly.
• more name-space switches.
• missed an element component in simpleType facet related error messages. Spotted by [Allan Wind]
• die when illegal float value [Sander Hulst]
• template example for empty complexType incorrect.
• template example for repeated blocks incorrect.
• repeated particle blocks within particle blocks caused problems. rt.cpan.org#34079 [Drew Taylor]

Improvements

• minor typos in man-pages [Allan Wind]
• ::Translate::compileTree() can start with a type.
• path displayed in error-messages now use @ before attributes, not at()
• more docs on how substitutionGroups are represented.
• new option ::Schema::compile(validation), which covers the existing three flags for partial validations.
• option check_values was not documented in ::Translate
• template Perl did not use Data::Dumper; don't invoke it.
• protect difficult characters in perl template keys.
• The writer now accepts a prepared XML element, not only a HASH or single value, for any simple or complex type element.
• Math::BigInt uses Math::BigInt::GMP for more performance, if installed.

version 0.69: Tue Feb 12 09:59:30 CET 2008

Fixes

• name-space switch accidentally took 'qualified' on elements to be used for attributes. Detected by [Sander Hulst]

version 0.68: Fri Feb 8 09:32:20 CET 2008

Fixes

• ref element did not switch to settings of destination namespace. Reported by [Sander Hulst]
• ref attribute idem.
• ref attributes should lookup namespace in destination schema, not source schema.

Improvements

• added ::Namespaces::printIndex() to list defined toplevel items.
• XML::Compile::dataToXML() returns information about the source if requested.

version 0.67: Mon Feb 4 09:31:17 CET 2008

Fixes

• use of boolean 0 produced an error. [Allan Wind] tests in t/21types.t

version 0.66: Thu Jan 31 09:32:00 CET 2008

Fixes

• added a few tests to t/48subst.t to prove that min/maxOccurs works with substitutionGroups. Had to remove two error checks.
• ::Namespaces::findID() failed, because ::Instance::id() was missing. [Philippe B]
• ignore element when maxOccurs==0 [Allan Wind]

Improvements

• added xml2yaml script, based on code by [Slaven Rezic]
• XSD search path will split on ';' on Windows.
• refrased start text of XML::Compile. Suggested by [Sander Hulst]
• looking for schema files with XML::Compile::findSchemaFile(), will not check for readability, because using "-r" is useless. So, the existence of the file suffices.
• describe syntax of repetative substitutionGroups.
• all errors in ::Schema are either marked in class 'usage', or in class 'schema'. Errors in other packages still need classification.
• ::Schema::Instance now reports include and import information.
• reformulation in "{url}name" explanation, spotted by [Allan Wind]

version 0.65: Wed Jan 16 10:28:53 CET 2008

Fixes

• fix an error "isa on unblessed" in XmlWriter. An error will be produced when an ARRAY or HASH is found where a simple element value is expected.

Improvements

• support schemas without targetNamespace. Tests in t/71nons.t.
• ::Schema::compile(interpret_nillable_as_optional) added, for broken schemas, where people have interpreted the Schema specs wrongly. Reported by [Christian Mueller]

version 0.64: Mon Jan 7 11:49:49 CET 2008

Fixes

• ::BuiltInFacets requires Math::Big{Int,Float}
• template() made mistake when a prohibited attribute was encountered.
• empty complexTypes are acceptable. [Kaare Rasmussen]
• typo: implemented base64binary, but should have been base64Binary. Detected by [Gert Doering]

Improvements

• perl template output with a long list of sequence element names now split over multiple lines.
• XML::Compile::Schema now explains how to use xsd files and imports/includes found in them.

version 0.63: Sat Dec 15 15:15:43 CET 2007

Changes

• Require XML::LibXML 1.65, which solves attribute creating issues.

Fixes

• dateTime did not format correctly: missing colon between minute and seconds.
• example template production failed on explicitly optional attributes and any kind of arrays. Reported by [Gareth Kirwan]

Improvements

• Added XML::Compile::Util::type_of_node()
• some error paths are cleaner, but still a few to be improved.
• ::compile() new option 'ignore_unused_tags", requested by rt.cpan.org#31539 [Slaven Rezic]

version 0.62: Tue Nov 27 12:23:38 CET 2007

Fixes

• Remove requirement for Data::Dump::Streamer.

version 0.61: Tue Nov 27 11:43:08 CET 2007

Changes

• Moved XML::Compile::Dumper from this distribution into its own.

Fixes

• ::compileClient(element_qualified => 'TOP') did remove the existing qualification need.

version 0.60: Sat Nov 24 10:22:53 CET 2007

Changes

• ELEMENT_ORDER hook returns packed types, not nodeName's, because that would include a (non constant) prefix.

Fixes

• ::Util::pack_type() with undef namespace returned undef.

Improvements

• Warn people about out-dated libxml2 when running tests in t/01use.t. Let's see of CPANTesters like this.
• when a READER is compiled with C<rpc_hrefs>, then elements may have a href attribute, used for SOAP-RPC encoding.

version 0.59: Thu Nov 8 14:04:44 CET 2007

Fixes

• Schema recursion detected too often. It had to be based on the schema-node, not the type name (which isn't unique enough) Spotted by [Gert Doering].

version 0.58: Tue Nov 6 12:35:28 CET 2007

Fixes

• could not handle empty sequences.
• boolean 'true' and 'false' must be decoded into 1 and 0.
• parsing of boolean was sensitive for blanks.
• elements_qualified overrule extended too far.

version 0.57: Mon Nov 5 15:53:19 CET 2007

Fixes

• basic schema elements (like SCHEMA2001 int) could not be used as starting point for translation.

Improvements

• XML::Compile::Util now exports some standard name-spaces as symbolic names, like SCHEMA2001.
• added 2001 XMLSchema instance xsd.
• XML::Compile::Schema::importDefinitions ignores undef param.
• compile(output_namespaces) now can be initialized with a simple ARRAY, and explained a little better.

version 0.56: Thu Oct 18 09:25:16 CEST 2007

Improvements

• XML::Compile::Util::pack_type() and ::unpack_type() now understand name-spaceless types.
• filled-in pre-declared type tables for older schema definitions, but did NOT IMPLEMENT the differences in SCHEMA RULES. Some initial checks in t/81-2000.t
• XML::Compile::SOAP::Server split-off from XML::Compile::SOAP; documentation updated to reflect this.
• added README.todo
• implemented correct QNAME run-time "{ns}local" to "prefix:local" translator, for writer. May cause run-time error message.

version 0.55: Wed Sep 26 10:32:49 CEST 2007

Changes

• split-off the SOAP and WSDL things into a separate XML::Compile::SOAP distribution, because they need more complex dependencies and need more releases in the near future.
• install xsd's automatically in XML/Compile/xsd/ (XML::Compile::SOAP's xsd-files are in XML/Compile/SOAP/xsd/)

Improvements

• added display of XML::LibXML version to t/01use.t
• accept recursive schema's. Reported by [Scott Peimann] tests in t/62recurse.t
• old bug in XML::LibXML shows up in its 1.64 release in combination with the XML::Compile test-set. XML::LibXML 1.65 contains the patch.
• skip t/pod.t when manuals are still in OODoc format.
• XML::Compile::addSchemaDirs() effects are now global.
• XML::Compile::knownNamespaces() can be used to define own files for name-spaces, also global.

version 0.54: Fri Sep 14 15:35:53 CEST 2007

Fixes

• XmlReader::block_handler called "last", where "return" was ment, resulting in a warning. [Gert Doering]
• Handle case where choice has minOccurs==1, but one (or more) of the options has minOccurs==0... which makes the choice optional implicitly. Found by [Gert Doering]

version 0.53: Thu Sep 6 21:15:14 CEST 2007

Changes

• When calling SOAP operations, the elements do not use a Body or Header anymore: these structures are flattened for the user's convenience.

Fixes

• totalDigits did only handle floats, not integers. Reported by [Gert Doering]
• float values should not show trailing zeros. The use of sprintf "%lf" was superfluous, hence removed.
• produce error when pre-installed schemas are not found.

Improvements

• a bit of progress on WSDL/SOAP
• YAPC::EU 2007 presentation available on the website.

version 0.52: Tue Aug 14 09:37:14 CEST 2007

Fixes

• sloppy_integer did not pass some usage restrictions for other than Integer->int translation.

version 0.51: Fri Aug 10 14:27:05 CEST 2007

Changes

• the labels for blocks when maxOccurs >= 2 have changed from f.i. 'xyz' into 'seq_xyz', to become clearer.

Fixes

• both attribute with own simpleType definition, as attribute ref to attribute with own simpleType were missing.
• got direct compilation of top-level attributes to work, and all available soap11 tests with it.

Improvements

• much clearer docs about repetative blocks.
• reread/corrected a few manual pages, but there is still a lot to do.

version 0.50: Thu Aug 9 23:19:19 CEST 2007

MAJOR REWRITE of the schema parser and code generators.

Changes

• any maxOccurs >1 will produce/require an ARRAY. Until now, the sequence, all, choice, and group didn't work correctly.
• removed a way to catch the errors produced while processing a message: an error is an error (or use hooks).
• convert error handling to Log::Report, which allows translations and clean processing.
• much improved error messages.
• hooks are called differently, to be more useful.

Fixes

• the reader now requires the correct order of the elements inside the message.
• "any" can appear everywhere, not only at the end of blocks.
• "any" now correctly defaults as minOccur==maxOccur==1
• accept attributes for complexType/simpleContent
• floating-point restriction (facet) did not process well.
• an empty XML container will be produced when an {} was given: it will not be ignored.
• improved template output

Improvements

• added t/pod.t, which flagged some (produced) pod errors
• added XML::Compile::Iterator, to ease the implementation of XML::Compile::Schema::Translate
• more checks whether the schema is sound.
• added XML::Compile::Util
• removed XML::Compile::parse() and parseFile() from the public interface.
• in doc: schema's should be schemas [Sven Neuhaus]
• many more tests
• no need for wsdl-patch.xsd anymore.

version 0.18: Wed Jun 6 22:46:44 CEST 2007

Changes

• renamed XML::Compile::Schema::importData() into ::importDefinitions()
• renamed XML::Compile::WSDL::addSchemas() into ::importDefinitions()
• Schema::addSchema() will only add parsed XML. Use Schema::importDefinitions() to added any (other) kind of data.
• reworked Namespaces::findElement() and ::findType() into ::find(KIND, ...)
• upgraded XML::LibXML requirement to 1.63

Fixes

• Added dependency for IO 1.22 (IO::File)
• Preference to address elements with a certain name, about types.
• Regular expression for all date types was not precise enough. Now following the specs more closely. Bug report from [Gerard Gerritsen]
• Namespace of schema now separates attributeGroup and group names from element, attributes and types.
• include_namespaces parameter to Schema::compile() was always set to 1.

Improvements

• added xsd/2003-* for SOAP1.2
• initial implementation for SOAP in lib/XML/Compile/SOAP.pm and lib/XML/Compile/SOAP/SOAP1[12].pm
• hooks with type/id/path will be invoked on all nodes.
• removed Translate::reference(), in favour of a reference lookup per kind of object.
• ::Translate::element_by_node() renamed to ::element().
• ::Schema::compile() and ::template() do not check provided name anymore, but leave that to ::Translate::new()
• ::Schema::compile(elements_qualified) now can limit ns-qual to the TOP element only.

version 0.17: Tue Mar 20 12:21:57 CET 2007

Improvements

• added XML::Compile::Dumper and t/21dump.t. Added automatic compatibility tests with non-dumped parsing. However, this results in "PmmREFCNT_dec: REFCNT decremented below 0! during global destruction." errors in XML::LibXML, so is disabled by default (see $skip_dumper in t/TestTools.pm)

version 0.16: Sun Feb 25 00:28:48 CET 2007

Changes

• rename Schema::importSchema() into Schema::importData(), because its parameter is very different from what addSchemas() expects but the name was too close.
• added patch to WSDL, to simplify the tOperation type, which is overly complex.
• now all four kinds of operations are detected.
• build-in type anyURI is relative, hence cannot be checked at parse time. This means that XML::Compile doesn't need Regexp::Common anymore (which was a forgotten dependency).

version 0.15: Fri Feb 16 16:21:59 CET 2007

Changes

• removed "top()" from XML::Compile, because with multiple XML sepcification files, there is no real "top" element.

Fixes

• do not destroy caller's data when creating complex or tagged elements.
• added missing str2num() in BuiltInTypes for floats and doubles.

Improvements

• move non-distributed xsd's to private dir.
• added XML::Compile::WSDL and t/80wsdl.t, partial implementation
• added XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation, partial implementation
• added reader hooks and t/60hooks_r.t
• added writer hooks and t/61hooks_w.t
• implemented attribute by ref

version 0.14: Tue Jan 30 12:30:34 CET 2007

Fixes

• Sequence of choices will multiply min/max. Required to understand WSDL.
• Give error on unknown particles.

Improvements

• Implemented 'any' element
• fields of type QName are translated from "prefix:type" into "{namespace}type".
• Makefile.PL requires 5.8.0, which is probably still a mild setting. XML::LibXML is probably more demanding.

version 0.13: Mon Jan 29 00:11:12 CET 2007

Fixes

• One place with nested Complex extensions, but more may need fixing.

Improvements

• Added WSDL and SOAP schema's
• fixed importSchema() where addSchema() missed an 's' -> addSchemas().
• XML::Compile::new() now also accepts a filename, a ref Scalar, and pre-defined name-spaces.
• skip key, keyref, unique, selector, fields elements; just like notation and annotation are lost.
• defined top-level element "attribute", but not yet used. Only useful in anyAttribute, which is not checked.
• check all top-level elements for their name, to find typo's.
• implemented anyAttribute
• XML::Compile::dataToXML is used to accept user spec of XML on many places.

version 0.12: Tue Dec 19 15:22:59 CET 2006

Fixes

• fixed attributes can be optional. [Igor Shynkarev]
• correct dateTime values were disapproved. [John R.]
• converted to use oodist script (new feature of OODoc)

version 0.11: Wed Oct 25 08:08:20 CEST 2006

Fixes

• Need to use "getChildrenBy..." in stead of "getElementsBy" in XmlReader, because otherwise we search the whole tree. Problem reported by [Igor Shynkarev]

Improvements

• When the reader is called with a document, its document-element is taken automatically. In response to [Igor Shynkarev]
• First attempt for XML template output.

version 0.10: Tue Oct 24 11:40:09 CEST 2006

Fixes

• Some minor cleanups in XmlWriter
• Now depends on XML::LibXML 1.61, which has a lot of improvements and fixes. As disadvantage does it require a recent libxml2, which is only included with very recent Linux distributions.
• t/49big.t test failed when installed on 64bit Perl, because one of the test-values was smaller then MAX_INT in that case.
• Default attribute type anyType.
• anyType is correct namespace.
• Type resolving when schemaNamespace is not the default was broken.
• Complex body permitted to be empty.
• Default for "check_occurs" set to `true', because default should give best results.
• Missing element with default gave error when check_occurs.

Improvements

• Added Template.pm to produce a Perl template example of a certain type. See XML::Compile::Schema::template()
• Implemented type definitions contain an example which is used for the templates.

version 0.09: Mon Sep 25 08:40:24 CEST 2006

Fixes: [thanks to cpan-testers work by Slavan Rezic]

• MANIFEST not correct: contained old files
• Removed dependency for Regex::Common, added Math::BigInt
• Upgraded to XML::LibXML 1.60, which changed from Attribute handling.

  Improvements

• Reorganized order in some man-pages.

version 0.08: Fri Sep 22 15:52:49 CEST 2006

Improvements

• Turned XML::Compile::Schema::Translate into a singleton object, and reshaped functions into methods. The arguments hash intern in object. Together much cleaner.
• Replaced use of "croak" for errors during translation into a call to the error() method, with nicer and more consequent error text layout.
• Split XML::Compile::Schema::BuiltinStructs into lazy loading XML::Compile::Schema::XmlReader and ::XmlWriter.

version 0.07: Thu Sep 21 15:06:05 CEST 2006

• implemented substitution-groups
• implementation of ref-element was bogus.
• improved documentation (more about Schemas)
• $schema->addSchemas from text
• $schema->importSchema() with support of search-path. Schema's not automatically installed (yet)
• added other schema's to the distribution.

version 0.06: Thu Sep 14 10:10:31 CEST 2006

• The internals of the translator (and the produced code) are fully rewritted to support complexType/simpleContent in a clean way.
• better support for list.
• major improvements in the documentation.

version 0.05: Sun Aug 27 12:00:00 CEST 2006

• Release as OODoc processed package :(

version 0.04: Sun Aug 27 11:49:54 CEST 2006

• Rewrote the particle handling to better process nesting and min/maxOccurs.
• Many rewrites to implement complexType/simpleType processing.
• Extended list describing missing features (and resolved quite a few of them). Parser is much stricter now, closer to the specs.

version 0.03: Tue Aug 15 09:13:06 CEST 2006

• Doc about what to pass as type to compile() was not updated.
• Added attribute default, fixed and use=forbidden.
• Added simpleType within list.
• Added memberTypes with union.

version 0.02: Mon Aug 14 13:42:02 CEST 2006

• Perl internal integer dependent size of INT_MIN and INT_MAX to avoid use of BigInt. Idea by [Merijn H Brand]
• Added type assertions to translator, to check known attributes to follow the spec.
• All constructing routines are called with ($path, $args, ...) where before, the $args option had different locations in the parameter lists.
• Moved element fixed tests to t/47fixed.t, reimplemented it to make it work with BigInt.
• Implemented element default and t/48default.t
• Non-sloppy integers implemented in BigInts, tests t/49big.t
• Element ref() should not specify own name.
• XML::Compile::Schema::Instance collects info about one single schema.
• XML::Compile::Schema::Namespaces collects schema instances.
• Under fly adding of schemas with ::Schema::addSchema
• understands qualified and unqualified processing
• and many more...
