This file documents the revision history for Perl extension HTML::Widget.
1.11 2007-03-01
- New Bool constraint.
- New SingleValue constraint.
- New $w->filter_all() and $w->constraint_all() methods add the
named filters/constraints to all current form elements.
- $w->find_elements() now supports the same arguments as
$w->get_elements().
- New render_errors() method on constraints, accepts a list of
element names for which errors should be displayed by $r->as_xml.
- Elements are allowed to have no name. No id or name will be
displayed in the xml output .
- When an Equal constraint fails, the first named element's value is
no longer considered valid.
- All elements associated with a failing Equal constraint receive an
error. Use render_errors() to override this behaviour.
- New HTML::Widget::Error method no_render(), used internally by
$constraint->render_errors().
- New F.A.Q. documentation section.
- $result->param() carps if called with more than 1 argument (it's
documented readonly).
- element() called on a block element now accepts the same
\%attributes argument as $widget->element().
- Submit and Reset elements now inherit from Button element, so they
share the same methods (value, content, src, type).
- Fixed Range constraint bug when min/max is 0 (zero).
- Fixed $widget->get_elements() bug, now both 'name' and 'type'
arguments can be used together to limit the elements returned.
- In constraint fixed so empty/missing values pass.
- HTML::Element now escapes unicode properly - require v3.22 and
stop skipping test
- HTMLEscape filter test skipped due to incompatible changes in
HTML::Element
- Deprecated Maybe constraint
1.10 2006-09-29
- RadioGroup elements are now wrapped in a fieldset tag.
- HTML::Widget->new() and $w->element() now accepts a hash-ref of
attributes as an argument, after the name argument.
- $w->attributes() and $e->attributes() now accepts either a list
or a hash-ref. Returns the object-ref for method chaining.
A hash-ref no longer overwrites existing attributes, it is now
added to the existing attributes. As a special-case, the
attributes hash-ref is returned if no arguments are passed.
- All fields elements (except Upload) have a $e->retain_default
method, which if true overrides the default behaviour, so that
after a field is missing from the form submission, the xml output
will contain the default value, rather than be empty.
- $widget has new methods get_elements_ref(), get_filters_ref()
and get_constraints_ref() which return an arrayref.
- $result has new method elements_ref() which returns an arrayref.
1.09 2006-09-21
- Embedding completely refactored by Michael Gray.
- $w->embed( $e, @widgets) embeds into the supplied element.
- New Fieldset element.
- Can add elements to Fieldset elements, as an alternative to using
embed.
- New $w->xhtml_strict accessor. When true, doesn't allow non-block
elements at the top-level of a form.
- New $w->legend accessor. Sets the label for the top-level fieldset.
- process() is now called for embedded widgets.
- After form submission, $result->as_xml() no longer uses an elements'
default value if that field wasn't submitted.
- Removed In constraint change added in v1.08 (in which validate
automatically passed an empty in() list)
- Select elements no longer automatically get an implicit In constraint
added. Set constrain_options() to true to get the old behaviour.
- RadioGroup elements no longer automatically get an implicit In
constraint added. Set constrain_values to true to get the old
behaviour.
- New $w->explicit_ids( 1 ) method, stops auto-generation of id's in
the xml output.
- New CallbackOnce constraint
- New HTML::Widget::Manual::Developer.pod
- Added checked() as an alias for value() in RadioGroup elements.
- Fixed many bugs when submitted values are 0 (zero) - particularly
with $result->as_xml output.
- Fixed bug when element names contain regex characters.
- Fixed Range constraints handling of missing and empty values.
1.08 2006-08-10 16:07
- Changed $widget->action(). Instead of defaulting to "/" it is left
empty. This causes browsers to submit the form to the current URI.
- Fixed fatal bug on an empty Select options() list
- Fixed bug where $result->error(..., $type) would return all errors
but those of $type
- $e->containerize now requires the container_class and dies with a
more helpful message if require of class fails
- new methods $widget->get_element(), $widget->get_constraint(),
$widget->get_filter()
- In constraint no longer fails when the in() list is empty
- When multiple Checkbox elements share the same name, the element ids
are given the form 'name_1', 'name_2', etc. This ensures unique ids.
- Regex and Number constraints now allow the empty string, for
consistency with other constraints. If you need to ensure the
value is present, also use the All constraint.
- Constraint, Element and Filter names can be prefixed with a unary
plus '+' to specify a fully-qualified module name, rather than one
beginning with HTML::Widget::Constraint::, etc.
- Fixed bug with ASCII constraint not allowing the space character.
1.07 2006-04-26 10:53
- Added a Button element
- Submit and Reset values no longer default to "1"
(this was causing the browser to display the button label
as "1" instead of "Submit" or "Reset")
- Added height() and width() accessors for image submit buttons
- Added support for <button> tags, with new content() method
- Added ability to customize HTML produced via
H::W::Element::container_class.
- Can specify container_class on a per widget basis via
- $w->element_container_class()
- Overloaded "" on Container to return as_xml
- All constraint counted empty strings as values
- AllOrNone constraint didn't treat 0 as a value

- Added Module::Pluggable::Fast preloading for PAR packaging
and the like
- Make HTML::Widget::Container->element support arrayrefs

- Select elements automatically get an In constraint added,
corresponding to the element's option keys
- RadioGroup elements automatically get an In constraint added,
corresponding to the element's values
- New Number constraint
- New 'multiple' attribute supported on Select elements
- Multiple input values for a Select element is an error if the
multiple attribute is not true
- Bug fixes:
- Hidden element now accepts false but defined input values
- Fixed bug with $result->params() not returning correct results
when a field had multiple values
- Regex constraint skipped when input param not defined
(stops 'uninitialized value' warning)
