2002-11-07 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm (API) Now supports databases where the last
byte of the AppInfo block is data instead of padding.
Backwards-compatible.
* Palm/ToDo.pm: Rearranged @ISA, so that it'll get the right
&ParseAppInfoBlock.
* Palm/Memo.pm: Rearranged @ISA, so that it'll get the right
&ParseAppInfoBlock.
* Palm/Mail.pm: Rearranged @ISA, so that it'll get the right
&ParseAppInfoBlock.
* Palm/Datebook.pm: Rearranged @ISA, so that it'll get the right
&ParseAppInfoBlock.
* Palm/Address.pm: Rearranged @ISA, so that it'll get the right
&ParseAppInfoBlock.
2002-05-09 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
* Palm/Address.pm: Again, more sanity-checking and a little less
code duplication.
* Palm/Address.pm: More sanity checks, and a somewhat more elegant
way of doing things
(iterate over field names, rather than duplicating code a bunch of
times).
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm (bug fix) Used to do some sanity-checking,
then ignored it. We now pay attention to our own sanity checks.
2002-04-09 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
* README: Added Keni as a contributor.

2000-09-16 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
- Version 1.2.3 released.
* Palm/PDB.pm (bug fix): The two useless NULs are allowed, but not
mandated, by the spec. By assuming that they will always be there,
this module failed to parse some well-formed PDBs.
* util/pdbdump: Oops! Forgot to fix resources. Minor cleaning.
* util/pdbdump (bug fix): The two useless NULs are allowed, but
not mandated, by the spec. By assuming that they will always be
there, 'pdbdump' failed to parse some well-formed PDBs.
2000-09-09 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
- Version 1.2.2 released.
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm: Added $error variable.
(bug fix): A mis-written test would cause &pack_StdAppInfo to omit
unnamed categories. Hence, the category list had fewer than 16
categories, when written. Fixed typo.
(feature): Added &addCategory, &deleteCategory, &renameCategory.
Removed BUGS section.
2000-09-08 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm: Stop Perl from complaining if there are
unnamed categories.
* README: Added author.
2000-08-28 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
- Version 1.2.1 released.
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm: Changed API: the categories are new arranged
as a 16-element array of category structs, the way they logically
belong, rather than as disparate arrays, the way they're
represented in the file. Added a lot to the POD.
2000-08-24 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
* Palm/PDB.pm: Clarified pod somewhat.
* util/pdbdump (feature): Expands arrays of hash references
recursively.
2000-08-13 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
- Version 1.2.0 released.
* Palm/Datebook.pm: Incorporated changes suggested by John
Jannotti <jj@lcs.mit.edu>, to avoid warnings under Perl 5.6, when
various fields are undefined.
* Palm/ToDo.pm, Palm/Memo.pm, Palm/Mail.pm, Palm/Datebook.pm,
Palm/Address.pm: Updated for new &parse_StdAppInfo behavior.
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm (bug fix): &parse_StdAppInfo now puts the
non-category part of the AppInfo block in $appinfo->{other}. This
is so that a script that reads a random .pdb file as a StdAppInfo
(and nothing else) can copy it without loss of data.
&pack_StdAppInfo uses $appinfo->{other}. Clarified documentation
somewhat.
2000-08-04 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
* Palm/PDB.pm: Fixed expression that made 'perl5.6 -w' print a
warning. Fix submitted by John Jannotti <jj@lcs.mit.edu>.
2000-08-01 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
- Version 1.1.12 released.
* util/pdbdump (bug fix): Read files in binary mode under Windows,
MS-DOS, and other OSes that make that distinction.
* Palm/PDB.pm (bug fix): Read and write files in binary mode under
Windows, MS-DOS, and other OSes that make that distinction.
* Palm/Datebook.pm: Delete raw data field at the end of
&ParseRecord.
2000-07-20 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
- Version 1.1.11 released.
* Palm/Datebook.pm (Bug fix): Test for undefined record fields, to
avoid warnings with databases built from scratch. Patch supplied
by <kkeller@sirius.com>.

- Version 1.1.10 released.
2000-07-18 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
* Palm/ToDo.pm, Palm/PDB.pm, Palm/Memo.pm, Palm/Mail.pm,
Palm/Datebook.pm, Palm/Address.pm: Clarified the documentation for
&new_Record.
2000-07-08 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
* Palm/PDB.pm: PDB::new now initializes more fields. PDB::Write
prints a warning if writing a zero-length record.
PDB::new_Resource: type now defaults to all NULs (instead of four
spaces).
2000-06-30 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
- Version 1.1.9 released
* Palm/Datebook.pm: Made AppInfo block initialization the same as
other modules, even though Datebook doesn't really use categories
and such.
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm (bug fix): Use of anonymous array instead of
a real array caused first category (and first category ID) to be a
reference rather than a "real" scalar.
2000-05-23 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
- Version 1.1.8 released.
* Palm/Memo.pm, Palm/Address.pm (bug fix): Don't run
StdAppInfo::import(). This prevents StdAppInfo from registering
itself as the default handler in generic tools.
2000-05-13 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
- Version 1.1.7 released.
* Makefile.PL: Bumped up version number.
* Palm/Mail.pm: Fixed inconsistency in record member names
("replyTo" was sometimes "reply_to", and "sentTo" was sometimes
"sent_to"). Patch supplied by Sumant S.R. Oemrawsingh
<sikander@stad.dsl.nl>
- Version 1.1.6 released.
* Makefile.PL: Incremented patch level. Added "pdbdump" to the
distribution.
* MANIFEST: Ship "pdbdump" instead of "dumpdb".
* Palm/StdAppInfo.pm: Added an import() function, so you can say
that a function is a Palm::StdAppInfo.
* Palm/Mail.pm (bug fix): Palm::Mail::new_Record() didn't return a
value (bug found by Sumant S.R. Oemrawsingh
<sikander@stad.dsl.nl>).
Don't import StdAppInfo, since don't want new PDBs to default to
StdAppInfo.
2000-05-08 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
* util/pdbdump: Rewritten from scratch. This is basically just
Palm/PDB.pm with trace statements.
2000-05-07 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
* Palm/Raw.pm: Added `use strict'. Rearranged some variables at
the top.

* Palm/Address.pm: Removed unnecessary quoting in class members.
* Palm/ToDo.pm: Converted to use StdAppInfo.

generated from RCS tag. Fixed the POD a bit.
* Palm/Memo.pm, Palm/Mail.pm, Palm/Datebook.pm, Palm/Address.pm:
Use StdAppInfo.
* Palm/Address.pm: Fixed manual section numbers.
* MANIFEST: Added "TODO", "StdAppInfo.pm"
2000-04-20 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
* Palm/Mail.pm: Forgot to mention the subject in the
documentation.
2000-02-01 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
- Version 1.1.2 released.
* TODO (added): Things that need to be done.
* README (added): README file.
* Palm/Raw.pm: Rearranged the POD. Inherit &new, &new_Record
methods.
* Palm/Datebook.pm, Palm/Mail.pm, Palm/Memo.pm, Palm/ToDo.pm:
Rearranged the POD. Added &new, &new_Record methods.
* Palm/Address.pm: Added placeholder for
$pdb->{appinfo}{lastUniqueID}.
* Added $VERSION variable to all .pm files, per CPAN.
* Palm/PDB.pm: Renamed &deleteRecord to &delete_Record, for
consistency. &append_Record, &append_Resource, &delete_Record
update PDB's mtime.
* Palm/Address.pm: Moved pod documentation to be adjacent to the
code, instead of at the end. Fixed &new so there are always 16
categories, one of which is named "Unfiled" with code 0.
2000-01-23 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
* Palm/PDB.pm: The various _load_*() functions are no longer
methods, since they shouldn't be overridden anyway. Added
documentation for new_Record(), append_Record(), new_Resource(),
append_resource(), findRecordByID(), deleteRecord().
* util/dumpdb: Bug fix: deal with PDBs without records, and PRCs
without resources. Memo: Dump() now prints the AppInfo and sort
blocks, if they exist. Address: Dump() now prints the field labels
in the AppInfo block. Address: print the record attributes.
* Palm/PDB.pm: Updated copyright. Fixed function cross-references
in the documentation. new() method now initializes the common
fields. Fiddled with quotes in the documentation some more.
Write() method now supplies the two NULs if they're missing. Added
methods: new_Record(), append_Record(), new_Resource(),
append_Resource(), findRecordByID(), deleteRecord().
* Palm/Address.pm: Added new() method, to specifically create a
new Address PDB. Added new_Record() method, to create a new
Address record.
Bug fix: PackAppInfoBlock() only packed whichever
categories were defined. It now makes sure that it packs 16
categories.
* Makefile.PL: Incremented version.
1999-12-05 Andrew Arensburger <arensb@baa.ooblick.com>
