0.6 Sun Jun 11 16:02:00 2000
- Cleaned-up, modularized rewrite courtesy of Bron Gondwana
(perlcode@brong.net)
- XML::Generator now returns objects blessed into XML::Generator::auto
which contains only an AUTOLOAD that redirects requests to the
proper method in XML::Generator.
- A new option is available in the constructor to force stricter
conformance to the XML specification ('conformance' => 'strict').
This also enables some special tags; "xmlpi", "xmlcmnt", "xmldecl"
and "xmlcdata" that can be used to generate, respectively, processing
instructions, comments, the XML declaration, and character data
sections.
0.7 Mon Jun 13 09:14:32 2000
- Pretty-printing patch from Bron Gondwana
- Undefined warnings patch from Bron Gondwana
0.8 Wed Jul 12 17:10:12 2000
- Bug-fix for pretty-printing
- New special tag, "xml" which takes a complete XML document and
"finalizes" it, so it can't be further embedded.
- Arguments passed as scalar refs will not be escaped, even if the
XML::Generator object was constructed with the 'escape' => "always"
option.
0.9 Sat Nov 18 11:13:24 2000
- Massive code reorganization to support subclassing, courtesy of
Nathan Winger (nate@nateware.com)
- New instantiation option, 'empty', to control how empty tags are
rendered.
- Improved internal representation for improved performance
( $gen->foo($gen->bar($gen->baz( $really_big_string ))) used to copy
$really_big_string three times; as long as the 'pretty' option is not
supplied, this is no longer the case. )
- Fixed xml() tag to allow comments and processing instructions before
and/or after the xml document.
- New special tag, xmldtd(), which used to be part of xmldecl().
0.91 Mon Dec 11 11:33:32 2000
- Added XML::Generator::DOM subclass for producing DOM trees instead of
strings.
- New choices for the 'empty' option: 'compact' and 'args'.
- Changed the semantics of 'pretty' option; CDATA sections and Processing
Instructions are no longer subject to the pretty printing rules. Thanks
for the bug report from Murat Uenalan.
- Using closures for tag generation, which seems to save a little bit of
time. Might not be worth it in the long run, for maintainability's sake.
- Fix for perl versions that can't use 'for' as a statement modifier (pre 5.005)
courtesy of Neil Prockter (n.prockter@lse.ac.uk).
- Some documentation fixups.
0.92 Tue Jan 21 13:12:00 2003
- Finally (after multiple bug reports) stopped requiring that XML::DOM be
installed for the tests to pass. Sorry this took so long to get fixed.
- Also fixed a bug in XML::Generator::DOM's POD that made it look strange
on search.cpan.org (reported by Ken Williams).
0.93 Wed Jan 22 10:41:00 2003
- Added 'high-bit' option to escape to allow escaping of upper ASCII.
- Fixed a test bug that assumed the order of elements in a hash.
