ATTENTION! Before using this for any _new_ software, please consider using Pod::Simple, it is a modern replacement for this module. 10-Feb-2015 Marek Rouchal <marekr@cpan.org> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.63 + CPAN#101847: [PATCH] Bump $VERSION in module changed since Pod-Parser-1.60 increased VERSION in all *.pm files + CPAN#98610: Pod::Find should skip also object directories of modern vc systems (.git, .hg) implemented in Pod::Find Thanks for the reports and patches! 02-Feb-2014 Marek Rouchal <marekr@cpan.org> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.62 + CPAN#87891: More sanity checks in podselect() documentation patches by florent.angly@gmail.com, and a bit of stricter checking what clients pass to podselect() 01-Jun-2013 Marek Rouchal <marekr@cpan.org> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.61 + CPAN#85656 fix typos in comments 31-Jan-2013 Marek Rouchal <marekr@cpan.org> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.60 + removed Pod::Checker and Pod::Usage from this distribution - they are now separate distros and are subjects to be refactored, to be based upon Pod::Simple. Thanks to rjbs for reminding me of this. 25-Jan-2012 Marek Rouchal <marekr@cpan.org> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.51 + CPAN#74271: Pod::Parser should not flag L<text|hyperlink> undo change CPAN#47473: L<alt text|URL> _is_ allowed (see discussion on pod-people and p5p); confirmed by blead change; references: http://code.activestate.com/lists/perl-pod-people/1690/ http://code.activestate.com/lists/perl-pod-people/1393/ http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/f6e963e4dd62b8e3c01b31f4a4dd57e47e104997 + bump all module versions (except Pod::PlainText) to 1.51 + update META.yml (thanks rjbs for the hint) 16-Jan-2012 Marek Rouchal <marekr@cpan.org> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.50 + fix whitespace (esp.

Thanks dwierenga AT valueclick DOT com for the patch + CPAN#38747: two important bug fixes and one improvement, all around pod2usage(-sections). Many thanks David DOT Purdie AT erggroup DOT com for the patches and suggestions. This fixes also CPAN#41136 + CPAN#41135: allow subheadings in OPTIONS/ARGUMENTS and pod2usage(-verbose => 1) - they are now printed as well + CPAN#42141: find.t fix for VMS in UNIX compatible mode.

Added a couple of if($ENV{PERL_CORE}) statements to ease the maintenance of core/module. 26-Aug-2003 Marek Rouchal <marekr@cpan.org> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.24 + removed the "BETA STAGE" from Pod::Checker - it is now stable + added patch by Micheal Schwern schwernATpobox.com to silence Pod::Checker (the module) and let podchecker (the script) print the diagnostics. Added note in the Pod::Checker documentation. + Tom Wyant twyant4ATcomcast.net reported that Cygwin also has the core pods in pods/ - fixed in Pod::Find + changed the logic in Pod::InputObjects a bit to speed up the parser, based on a suggestion by Mark Jason Dominus mjdATplover.com.

Thus pod_where could be used by perldoc. + added check for recent File::Spec version in Makefile.PL + updated Makefile.PL, CHANGES, README 07-Jul-2000 Marek Rouchal <marek@saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.16 + included two subs suggested by Tim Jenness <t.jenness@jach.hawaii.edu> in Pod::Find (pod_where and contains_pod) and included a test in t/pod/find.t + updated Makefile.PL, CHANGES and TODO 03-Jul-2000 Marek Rouchal <marek@saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.15 + introduced -quiet option for Pod::Checker to suppress diagnostic output when Pod::Checker is used to eat POD and output text. + improved documentation in Pod::Checker + improved code coverage of t/pod/poderrs.t + updated TODO 04-Jun-2000 Marek Rouchal <marek@saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.14 + fixed wrong value in Pod::Parser concerning whitespace lines + added check in podchecker whether argument is a directory + introduce additional warning level: this suppresses the complaints about unescaped <>, but the check is enabled when the wrning level is increased: podchecker -warn -warn adapted documentation appropriately + Pod::Hyperlink now parses L<open(2)> again, but gives a warning. The calling programs have to check themselves for what to do with pages like open(2). + Changed POD of several modules so that they conform to podchecker :-) 14-Mar-2000 Marek Rouchal <marek@saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de> 16-Mar-2000 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.13 + Improved support of Win32 and OS/2 platforms by using File::Spec in Pod::Find + strip .bat and .cmd on Win32 and OS/2, respectively + removed all tabs from Pod::Find and reviewed POD documentation + finally fixed t/pod/ptestpchk.pl to ignore any and all non-word-chars in pathnames. No more special casing filenames for MacOS, NT, VMS, etc just for the sake of passing the t/pod/poderrs.t test! 11-Mar-2000 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.12 + Sync-up with patches from the 5.6 core distribution + Require perl5.005 instead of 5.004 now that 5.6 is almost out + Removed the t/pod/xtra tests from the distribution + Ignore [\n\r] when looking for non-empty blank lines in Pod::Parser + Added VMS file-unixification to test scripts 23-Feb-2000 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> Marek Rouchal <marek@saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.11 + Fixed Pod::Parser warnings about non-empty blank lines in code + added note about extraction capabilities of Pod::Checker to README + added collection of index entries X<...> (Pod::Checker) + extended internal hyperlink node uniqueness check (Pod::Checker) + added documentation in Pod::Checker for built-in methods (nodes, hyperlinks, X<...> entries) + minor cleanups (find_node in Pod::Cache::Item) and changed priority in parsing L<...> (Pod::ParseUtils) 22-Feb-2000 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.10 + bump up the version number to avoid confusion with a short-lived version of 1.093-beta 21-Feb-2000 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> Marek Rouchal <marek@saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.093 + Pod::Parser now warns about non-empty blank lines matching /^\s+$/ + got rid of special handling of '=>' and '=>' inside C<..> and instead implemented the more general rules posted by Larry Wall on P5P allowing /[A-Z]<...>/ and /[A-Z]<[<:]\s+...\s+[:>]>/ to deal with things like embedded '->' and '=>' using whitespace, as in: C<< <=> >> and I<< <> >>. + added proposals by Wolfgang Laun to Pod::Checker (more errors and warnings): - removed qr// so that code runs with Perl 5.004 - POD files can include '.' in the name. - L<DBI(3)> now causes an error, correct is: L<DBI> 03-Jan-2000 Marek Rouchal <marek@saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.092 + added the Pod::Cache and Pod::Cache::Item code to Pod::ParseUtils. + modified the README file. 15-Dec-1999 Marek Rouchal <marek@saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.091 + cleaned up Pod::Checker, especially documentation, updated test + moved helper code to new module Pod::ParseUtils, added documentation + added Pod::Find, along with a test 22-Oct-1999 Marek Rouchal <marek@saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.090 + Added several additional checks to Pod::Checker + Pod::Checker detects files with no POD + Pod::Checker prints warnings about inproper style + Modified podchecker to use the -warnings option and the "empty POD" status + Added Pod::Hyperlink (internal in Pod::Checker for now) that parses the L<> sequence into alttext, page and section + Updated documentation + Started adding callbacks so that Pod::Checker can be used also for single-pass POD translators in the future 25-Sep-1999 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.085 + Added a section on tree-based parsing to the PODs for Pod::Parser + Added '-expand_text" callback-option to Pod::Parser::parse_text() + Added ability to specify contents for Pod::InteriorSequence::new + Added the notion of "parse-options" to enable/disable certain parsing behaviors (see the section on "PARSING OPTIONS" in the documentation for Pod::Parser) + Added Pod::Parser::parseopts() + Added the '-want_nonPODs' parse-option + Added the '-process_cut_cmd' parse-option + Fixed the '*child2parent*' functions in InputObjects so that they dont invoke "can" or "isa" for unblessed scalar-refs. 03-Sep-1999 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.084 + Added Russ Allbery's Pod::PlainText re-write + Added some tests contributed by Russ Allbery + Fixed Makefile.PL to install the supplied scripts + Updated copyright messages + Added an error/warning callback function to Pod::Parser. When specified, it will call the user-provided function instead of "warn" when printing error messages (This makes it easier for things like Pod::Checker to capture and/or redirect error output). See Pod::Parser::errorsub(). 28-Jun-1999 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.083 + Fixed problem with not defaulting to STDIN in parse_from_filehandle (thanks to Russ Allbery for the patch) + Fixed problem with != and -= (and <op>= in general) processing inside of C<...> (thanks to Russ Allbery for this patch too) 28-Apr-1999 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.082 + Fixed portability problems with Makefile.PL on MSWin32 systems (thanks to Jan Dubois for showing how to do this!) 08-Apr-1999 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.081 + Fixed warning message in Pod::Parser::parse_text when $expand_seq is undef. + Fixed another problem with ignoring the contents of an interior sequence if it was nothing but ')' inside the angle brackets (e.g. C<0>). + Moved test files under t/ to t/pod, and added a subdirectory t/pod/xtra for the extra tests that involve "included" files and processing its own source (the "xtra" files are *not* part of what comes with the CORE in Perl 5.006) + Munged the Makefile.PL to be able to set TEST_FILES to t/pod/*.t and t/pod/xtra/*.t (if it exists). This requires File::Spec so now you need either File::Spec or Perl 5.005 or later to install this. 01-Mar-1999 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.08 + Fixed a bug in obtaining options-hash in pod2usage() + Modified test suite & tools to run as expected on more platforms (the .t scripts now do a zero-exit if $ENV{ACTIVE_HARNESS} is set) + Some more portability fixes for searching file-paths in Pod::Usage (thanks to Chris Nandor) + Changed the distribution directory structure a little bit. Instead of all the scripts and modules at the top level directory, the scripts are now in the 'scripts/' subdirectory and the modules are now in the 'lib/Pod/' subdirectory. 16-Jan-1999 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.07 + Added Pod::Checker and podchecker.PL + Fixed line-counting errors in Pod::Parser::parse_from_filehandle() + Added raw_text method for Pod::ParseTree + Documented optional hash-ref arg to Pod::Parser::parse_text and replaced '-expand' with '-expand_seq' and '-expand_ptree' + parse_text now has sequences point to the parents they are nested inside of as soon as they are created (instead of after they are appended to the parent, which may occur *after* expansion) + Added the regression test-suite to the distribution in the t/ subdirectory. Its not very exhaustive, but its a start. + Now uses File::Spec, which is bundled with perl 5.005 and later, but if you have perl 5.004 you may need to download File::Spec from CPAN 09-Nov-1998 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.061 + Minor additions to v1.06 * Pod::InteriorSequence::nested was buried inside POD directives. I had to add the `=cut' between the subroutine docs and its code. * Removed some of the documentation for things in Pod::Parser and Pod::Input object that the user probably doesnt need to know. * Split out "CHANGES" and "TODO" into separate files from the README 22-Oct-1998 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.06 + SIGNIFICANT CHANGES (POSSIBLE BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITIES) * Pod::InputObjects::ParseTree object ADDED. This object corresponds to a parse-tree of parsed pod paragraph text. Every node in the parse-tree is either a text-string, or a Pod::InteriorSequence that has yet to be expanded. * Pod::Parser::parse_text ADDED!!! This routine parses some pod input text and returns a parse-tree as the result. This is VERY useful for people who cant rely on strict bottom-up expansion of interior sequences. Now they can get the parse-tree and expand sequences themselves in whatever order they require. * Pod::Parser::interpolate PARAMETER CHANGE, it *no* *longer* takes a regexp as its second parameter!!! It used to accept a regular expression signifying the end of parsing conditions and pass it to _interpolate_bottom_up. It now takes a line-number as the second arg. * Pod::Parser::_interpolate_bottom_up has been *REMOVED*!! Pod::Parser no longer uses a recursive routine to parse interior sequences. * The following Pod::Parser subroutines now take the current line-number as an ADDITIONAL PARAMETER: command, textblock, verbatim, interpolate, preprocess_line, preprocess_paragraph, parse_paragraph. * REMOVED the Pod::Parser::total_lines method * ADDED the nested() method to Pod::InteriorSequence * REMOVED the following methods from Pod::InputSource: num_lines, file_line, and ADDED the method filename instead. * REMOVED the _CMD_SEQUENCES data-field and sequences() method from Pod::Parser. If you need to know the parent of a nested interior sequence, then invoke the nested() method of that sequence. + OTHER CHANGES - Added the "-pathlist" options to Pod::Usage and pod2usage - Made Pod::Usage a tad more portable for DOS and MSWin32 - Got rid of a rogue '#' in podselect that was in front of a needed "use" statement. - Fixed a bug in Pod::Parser::_interpolate_bottom_up that made it stop interpolating interior sequences after the first line of a paragraph. 12-Feb-1998 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.05 - Fixed a bug in Pod::Usage (it was using an obsolete name to access an attribute instead of using the new access method). - Removed the use of $`, $&, and $' throughout all modules in this package. Version 1.04 22-Dec-1997 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.04 + SIGNIFICANT CHANGES * Created a Pod/InputObjects.pm and moved the details of input streams and interior sequences into appropriately named objects defined in this file. * Pod::PlainText now handles =for and =begin/=end * Added the curr_headings() method to Pod::Select * Fixed a few very simple but very stupid errors with improper version numbers in the .pm files. * Pod::PlainText now inherits from Pod::Select (instead of Pod::Parser) because it needs to use the curr_headings() method. 24-Sep-1997 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.03 (major revision) + SIGNIFICANT CHANGES * If a POD directive begins with '==' instead of '=', then that line is considered a paragraph by itself (you dont need a blank line before you begin the next paragraph). NOTE that this only works for the *beginning* of a paragraph!! If the '==' begins a line in the *middle* of a paragraph, then it receives no special treatment and is not considered to be the beginning of a new POD directive. If this added convenience seems confusing at first, just remember the following phrases: "LESS IS MORE" -- LESS equals signs need MORE newlines! "MORE IS LESS" -- MORE equals signs need LESS newlines! As long as you dont forget that the '=' on a POD directive always comes *before* the newline that ends the paragraph (so the '=' is associated with the first word of each phrase) you should be fine. * The '=pod' command *IS* *NOW* *PASSED* TO Pod::Parser::command()! * ALL INSTANCE DATA FIELDS HAVE BEEN RENAMED! Rather than using the new field names, you should use the newly provided field access methods to get/set private instance data. These are as follows: Accessor Method Old Field Name ------------------- ------------------- cutting() CUTTING output_file() OUTFILE output_handle() OUTPUT input_file() INFILE input_handle() INPUT total_lines() LINE total_paragraphs() PARAGRAPH input_streams() INPUT_STACK top_stream() INPUT_TOP sequence_commands() SEQUENCES * The last parameter passed to the command() and interior_sequence() methods has changed. Please see the documentation! * The stack of interior sequences being processed is NO LONGER an array of text-strings. It is now an array of hash-refs! * Renamed my version of Pod::Text to Pod::PlainText to avoid some nasty problems it caused for CPAN. * The method Pod::Parser::interpolate() NO LONGER MODIFIES its first argument (which means the argument doesnt have to be an l-value)! This method is now a wrapper which invokes the new method named _interpolate_bottom_up(). This new method *is* recursive and *does* modify its first argument. * _interpolate_bottom_up() contains a small but ugly *hack* to allow '->' and '=>' to remain untouched inside of C<...> (without having to use the E<gt> escape sequence) PROVIDED THAT there is something to the left of it OTHER THAN another '-' or '='. * The 'select()' and 'want_section()' methods have moved from Pod::Parser into Pod::Select. * All callback and callback-related methods have moved into the new module Pod:::Callbacks (which is NOT YET FINISHED for this release). 22-May-1997 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.02 - Added the ability to register callbacks for =xxxx paragraphs and other paragraphs. This means that one could (for example) register a temporary callback after =item is seen to handle the very next paragraph and then unregister itself. The methods added were add_callbacks and rm_callbacks. Also, a private method invoke_callbacks was added to go about the business of invoking callbacks. The callback mechanism Ive implemented is extremely flexible and also way more complex than Id like (and hence requires lots more documentation than I would like). Also, the interfaces to add_callbacks and rm_callbacks tries to be very flexible in the number and type of arguments you can give it. This is probably too flexible to the point of being too difficult to figure out how to use. My callback mechanism is very powerful but I think the interface to it is lousy and far too complex. I am desperately in search of a way to make it smaller and simpler without removing too much functionality. If you have any ideas about how to do this PLEASE SHARE THEM WITH ME! - Got rid of =pod pragmas. P5P has decided to use =for, and =begin/=end instead and Ill just handle those like regular commands. NOTE THAT THIS MEANS THE command() METHOD SHOULD NOW EXPECT TO BE PASSED =pod COMMANDS. - Expanded the documentation for Pod::Usage to be (hopefully) a little less confusing regarding the various different invocation styles. Many thanks to Steven McDougall <swmcd@world.std.com> for spending many hours of assistance toward this goal. - Fixed Pod::Text to use the proper indentation for nested '=item' lists and to handle consecutive =item paragraphs. (Thank you to Diab Jerious <djerius@cfa.harvard.edu> for helping me with this one.) - Fixed a bug in Pod::Parser that was causing the argument to =over to be a newline instead of the empty string when no "over count" was given. 05-Sep-1996 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.01 - Commented out "use diagnostics" in all modules - Made use of "use vars" - Added the instance variables $self->{INPUT_STACK} and $self->{INPUT_TOP} to Pod::Parser and made it possible to use the parse_from_file() and parse_from_filehandle methods() to process "included" files (in addition to normal pods that dont "include" other files). - Added MSG option/key to pod2usage(). 19-Aug-1996 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.00 (first "official" release): - Renamed Pod::Filter to Pod::Parser at Kenneth Albanowski's recommendation. - Moved podselect() into its own separate module Pod::Select to avoid unnecessary namespace pollution in Pod::Parser. - Renamed several methods and added another preprocessing method in Parser.pm. - Pod::Parser now keeps track of the current line and paragraph number and the current input and output file names. - Fixed parse_from_filehandle() to recognize a line matching /^\s+$/ as a paragraph terminator. - Included Pod::Usage and Pod::Text as part of the PodParser distribution rather then packing and releasing each module separately. - Removed pod2text.PL and added pod2usage.PL 07-Aug-1996 Brad Appleton <bradapp@enteract.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Initial release of version 0.01 to garner some feedback. This release was actually three separate "initial" releases of Pod::Parser, Pod::Text, and Pod::Usage which were originally named Pod::Filter, Pod::PlainText, and Pod::Usage (respectively).
