Revision history for Perl module XML::RSS
1.49 - April 7, 2011
- Some correctness and Modern Perl changes to the rss2html.pl
script (it still appears to be very hairy.)
- Add support for parsing rssCloud:
1.48 - April 23, 2010
- Fix the $rss->parse($string)->other_method() display (had to add
spaces between the << and >>). See:
1.47 - December 8, 2009
- Made sure XML::RSS::save() can do its thing when in taint mode:
1.46 - October 8, 2009
- Updated the E-mail address of Adam Trickett.
- Removed the perl-5.6.x-specific workarounds and made perl-5.8.x as
a requirement. This was done in order to:
- avoid a workaround that also caused an incomplete test coverage.
- avoid various test failures due to a problem with XML-Parser
on 5.6.x .
- encourage people using ancient versions of perl in production.
- Convert all occurences of "new XML::RSS" to "XML::RSS->new()" everywhere.
1.45 - August 5, 2009
- Removed some unused module requirements statements from lib/**.pm.
- Added a note about date parsing/generation (thanks to an email
correspondent).
- Applied a patch by "David White" to have uppercase letter in
namespace/module identifiers.
- Added "resources" and "keywords" to the Build.PL.
1.44 - April 1, 2009
- Applied a patch from Simon Wistow (after some modifications) to
add support for multiple enclosures.
- Added the t/xml-base.t test file from Simon Wistow to test for
xml:base. Corrected for style.
1.43 - January 12, 2009
- Fixed the date on the last entry on this changelog, to say "2009"
instead of "2008".
1.42 - January 3, 2009
- When transforming elements with attributes into hash-refs - make
sure they are placed in the correct namespace. Previously
<media:description> over-rided the plain <description>. (as in Flickr).
1.41 - December 4, 2008
- Made the default keys for the channel link, description and title undef
instead of ''. They become '' once they are opened.
- Now keeping track of rdf:resource of <image> in RSS 1.0:
- Made sure that channel/{link,description,title} are localized to
the empty string before rendering, to allow for better backwards
compatibility.
1.40 - December 1, 2008
- Now outputting an arrayref of <skipDays>/<day>'s and <skipHours>/<hours>
properly.
- Now parsing multiple <category>'ies inside an <item> into an
array-reference.
- Now outputting an arayref of <item>/<category> prpoerly.
- Parsing multiple <channel>/<category> into arrays.
- Rendering multiple <channel>/<category> elements from array refs.
- Now parsing multiple dc:items into an array
reference (at least inside an <item>):
- Added the modules_as_arrays option to parse repeatable module elements
into an array ref.
1.38 - November 27, 2008
- Added support for duplicate items of RSS modules.
- Added support for multiple Dublin Core elements. One can point
the field to an array and it will create multiple elements:
- Now parsing several <skipDays>/<day>s and <skipHours>/<hour>s into
an array reference instead of concatenating them together.
1.37 - November 18, 2008
- Extracted the common parts of parse() and parsefile() into one
method (Refactoring - Shlomi Fish)
- Incorporated a modified version of a patch from Simon Wistow to
add support for the "xml:base" attribute.
- Renamed t/items-are-0.t into the more descriptive
t/test-generated-items.t , to highlight its significance and make
it easier to notice.
- Enabled backwards-compatibility mode for the "description" item
to not become a hash-ref by default if xml:base is specified.
1.36 - October 7, 2008
- ->parse() now explicitly returns $self.
- ->parsefile() now explicitly returns $self.
- Applied a patch to change the RSS-0.91 DTD URL from my.netscape.com
to rssboard.org:
- Reformatted the Changes file to standardize on 4-space-indents.
- Small documentation patch: (add_item with dc:date)
1.35 - September 13, 2008
- Added a Module::Build-based Build.PL so we'll have an easier time
with the META.yml and the Kwalitee.
- Kwalitee - added "use warnings" to all Perl files.
- now depending on at least perl-5.6.0.
- Kwalitee - fixed the "use" statement of
"Test::Run::CmdLine::Iface" to a runtime require.
1.34 - September 12, 2008
- fixed a typo in the documentation of lib/XML/RSS.pm -
"regardless" instead of "regarless".
- fixed a code fragment - pop() instead of shift() for older
items, and while() instead of if():
1.33 - June 8, 2008
- Allowed the end-user to customise the encode() routine in
XML::RSS::Private::Output::Base from XML::RSS using the
encodecb key.
1.32 - February 8, 2008
1.31 - June 29, 2007
- Fixed the save() function to handle perl-5.6.x (and possibly below)
where the ":encoding(...)" filehandle are not available (Shlomi Fish)
1.30 - June 18, 2007
- Same as 1.29_02 (from February 23, 2007)
- Removed some methods that were not used.
- Added more tests to increase the test coverage.
- Fixed a bug where prefixes could be specified with invalid characters
because there was a range (.-_) instead of three individual
characters (.\-_).
- Many files were left in the distribution or Subversion repository
that were executable but need not be. Made them non-executable.
- Clean up examples/ directory and move generated files out of t/
- isPermaLink / guid fixes (RT#23983, Shlomi)
- increased the test coverage of XML::RSS up to 100%. (Shlomif)
- SECURITY BUG FIX: eliminated a markup injection vulnerability in the
taxo:topics output of RSS 1.0. (Shlomif)
- Moved the append function, which is unused and cannot be effectively
used, out of the main module and into the rejects directory inside
the repository (but outside the module). (Shlomif)
- Added POD for full POD coverage. (Shlomif)
- Several other bug fixes. (Shlomif)
- Heavy refactoring of the code. (Shlomif)
- perltidy configuration file; run perltidy on XML::RSS (and
intentionally not on the tests) (ABH).
- Removed the remaining tab characters. (Shlomif)
- Fixed a bug in one of the tests. (Shlomif)
- Converted the rendering processes of the various RSS versions to
one class per RSS version and applied the "Convert Conditionals
to Polymorphism" refactoring. (Shlomif)
- Removed the languages hash which was completely unused. (Shlomif)
- Converted the parsing routines to be methods of XML::RSS to increase
modularity. XML::RSS no longer inherits from XML::Parser. (Shlomif)
- Extracted several methods from the parsing stage. (Shlomif)
- Added a regression test to
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24742 (Shlomif)
- Tweaked the Makefile.PL Test::Run integration according to:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.qa/2006/11/msg7400.html
(Shlomif)

- Fixed category output in RSS 2.0 (RT#17303, Yasuhiro Onishi)
- Update documentation with new Subversion server and bug tracking
- Clean up distribution (tests, Makefile.PL, file locations, ...)
1.05 - Thu Aug 12 20:54:31 2004
- fixed version number
- improved RSS 2.0 generation support
- typo and documentation fixes
1.04 - Web Mar 03 20:49:43 2004
- update Changes to include changes for 1.03
1.03 - Web Mar 03 00:24:07 2004
- quell warnings when parsing RSS 0.9x, RSS 2.0
1.02 - Mon Feb 20 15:34:21 2003
- fixed bug in encode(). encode() did not respect CDATA
sections and would mangle them when encountered. now behaves
properly (we hope) even when CDATA and #PCDATA are mixed
together liberally
1.01 - Mon Feb 3 15:46:25 2003
- fixed bug with handle_char(). i (brian d foy) mis-diagnosed a
previous bug and broke handle_char() when what I should have done
was initialise the object for each call to parse*()
- if you have version 1.0, you should upgrade to this version, 1.01
1.00 - Fri Jan 31 11:26:41 2003
- the as_string method now encodes special characters. valid output!
- a new "Auto Add" feature can add modules for namespaces found
while parsing (off by default)
- can output RSS 2.0, but not parse it yet
- this is the last major release in this track. we are going to
completely rewrite XML::RSS as something more extendable.
0.98_05 - Mon Jan 27 15:54:32 2003
- The auto add_feature is not controlled by the $AUTO_ADD variable
and is off by default
- removed the distribution tests now that it is ready to distribute
0.98_04 - Fri Jan 17 20:00:29 2003
- the parse and parsefile routines now automatically add nonstandard
namespace to the modules list
0.98_03 - Fri Jan 17 19:22:20 2003
- changed the handle_char() routine to replace data rather than
append to existing data. this takes care of the doubling problem
in the last issue.
- set the RSS 2.0 namespace in the _initializer routine
- all tests now pass. if this works for people, it could turn into
a release candidate
0.98_02 - Fri Jan 17 19:15:45 2003
- changed the handle_char() routine to replace data rather than
append to existing data. this takes care of the doubling problem
in the last issue.
- set the RSS 2.0 namespace in the _initializer routine
- all tests now pass. if this works for people, it could turn into
a release candidate
0.98_02 - Fri Jan 17 15:47:29 2003
- added initial RSS 2.0 support
- first fix to properly encode special characters in output
- need to fix feature to add namespace (tests are TO DO)

form of the module syntax. See the XML::RSS documentation
for examples.
0.96 Sat Mar 17 17:21:27 EST 2001
- fixed RSS 0.91 output. When the source file that is parsed was
1.0, it did not properly translate all of the dc elements to
0.91 channel elements.
