Revision history for ProgressMonitor
0.01 2006-11-27
First version.
0.02 2007-03-20
Added the setMessage method and associated configuration options for
the various monitors.
0.03 2007-03-21
Minor fixes to adjust the tar building (my gnuwin32 tar creates weird
permissions in the archive).
0.04 2007-03-23
Replaced wipeAtEnd with atEndStrategy
Clear any message when ending
0.05 2007-03-27
Made the Null monitor a singleton
Made passMessageToParent default to 0 and parentTicks to 1
Made it allowable to skip calling prepare() and go directly to begin()
The messageFiller can be blank/undef, causing partial overlay
Minor help text changes
messageStart/EndOverlayFields are now 1 based indices.
0.06 2007-04-05
- Fixed a loophole; if maxwidth not set we must fall back to hardcoded
79 unless the Term::Size... stuff returns something worthwhile
- Added a convenience subMonitor method to the interface; makes it
cleaner to instantiate a SubTask monitor
- Added a setErrorMessage method and associated support
- Fixed bug where the Bar never indicated empty progress when it was
blank
- Mumbo jumbo with getting stuff printed right when backspacing
before or after - 'backspaceAfterRender'
0.07 2007-04-11
- Added a clone method to progressmonitors
- made sure error messages are cleaned from ws
- set[Error]Message msgs are no longer mangled, but passed right through
- a msg is passed through as-is if messageStrategy is newline (message filler applied though...should it?)
0.08 2007-04-23
- It's possible to call 'end' directly if no work is needed at all
This signals 'completion' of the monitor.
- Avoid treating a 'begin(0)' the same as 'begin()'
- Division by zero in some fields when totalTicks is explicitly '0'.
0.09 2007-05-09
- When using an overlay message on a field shorter than the msg, the
rendition became longer than its maxwidth
0.10 2007-05-21
- Removed the setting of ticks == totalTicks at 'end'
0.11 2007-05-25
- Added a new message strategy - 'overlay_newline'.
0.12 2007-05-25
- When streaming a msg with \n at the end, no need to bs then.
0.20 2007-06-08
- changing the setMessage API, to enable setting 'delayed' messages
i.e. 'set message on next tick' etc.
0.21 2007-06-08
- the newline message strategy now better handles embedded/trailing \n
characters.
- new strategy 'overlay_honor_newline'
0.22 2007-06-11
- when overlaying a message, make sure to restrict it to field size,
except when a newline will be printed
0.23 2007-06-14
- added the Dynamic field.
0.24 2007-11-09
- Made end() autocomplete ticks.
0.26 2008-05-21
- Rendering bs after as default exposed a subtle problem when running
in putty; after a setErrorMessage (with implicit newlines), bs was
printed anyway causing output to be overwritten
0.27 2008-05-21
- Silly mistake, bug for 0.26 fixed in file not part of this tree...redone.
0.28 2008-08-28
- Added a way to change the text in a Fixed field.
0.30 2008-08-28
- Added a way to change the text in a Dynamic field.
0.31 (clearly dropped the ball on this ver, must retrack and see what I did)
0.32 2010-06-11
Unsure what happened...all versions were removed on CPAN and to be able to
upload again, I have to bump the version number. No change from 0.31 (which,
as I mention above has an undocumented change from 0.30).
0.33 2010-06-14
Bumping to try to get an acceptable format for the PAUSE indexer. No changes.
