PRANG CHANGES

This POD file documents a summary of the changes in PRANG. For the full list of changes, refer to the git history.

VERSION 0.11 - 12 July 2010

• Ignore xsi:schemaLocation; it has no useful meaning.

  xsi:schemaLocation describes "hints as to the physical location of schema documents which may be used for ‘assessment’" - ie, it is a hint to a local validator as to which schema file contains the XML Schema definition. On XML documents which are transmitted, it is somewhere between a potential security risk and totally worthless. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#schema-loc for the full story.

• Fixed a bug in PRANG::Graph::Meta::Element which sorted the classes badly when using inheritance. There is still a design issue to be solved, if you want to use inheritance and not put new elements on the end of the sequence, or if you want to use roles.

VERSION 0.10 - 27 June 2010

• Fix enum support [reported by Heiko Jansen]

• Add support for libxml indenting on to_xml [Heiko Jansen]

• Specifying xml_min => 0 on an element attribute is now equivalent to xml_required => 0 [Sam Vilain]

• New module PRANG::Coerce for creating coercion rules which are convenient for typical PRANG applications [Andy Chilton]

• Support YourXML::Language->parse_file and ->parse_fh for convenience's sake [Sam Vilain]

VERSION 0.09 - 7 May 2010

No changes, just a re-bundling, as an included module was not the release version.

VERSION 0.08 - 7 May 2010

• Distribution now includes all the modules required only for the tests. This, along with a bugfix in Scriptalicious, should hopefully close the last of the CPAN testers failures for 0.07.

• An addition to PRANG::XMLSchema::Types Str subtypes: date, time, and tightening of the dateTime (it was not anchored before, so accepted any string containing a dateTime).

VERSION 0.07 - 26 Apr 2010

• New documentation PRANG::XMLSchema::Guide which provides information on manually converting XML Schema specifications to PRANG classes.

• Add a coerce rule for PRANG::XMLSchema::token types which normalizes whitespace on input values if enabled.

• The xmlns Class property now affects all sub-properties, but not the including element. This mirrors the default behaviour with XML Schema.

VERSION 0.06 - 14 Apr 2010

• Correct the handling of attributes with no prefix. They should always be considered to have no namespace, even if a default xmlns is defined, apparently.

VERSION 0.05 - 14 Apr 2010

• XML namespaces support is now much more complete; lots of cases, including wildcarding of both the node name and the XML namespace now work. This is powerful enough to successfully round-trip crazy XML Schema specifications such as <any namespace="##any" processContents="skip"/>

• PRANG::Graph::Class has been deprecated / ripped out. It was a hang-over from the time before use PRANG::Graph; set up the metaclass trait.

• It is no longer required to specify the xmlns method, if you do not wish to use namespaces.

• Specifying a role as a type now works, so long as the role is used by only PRANG::Graph types.

VERSION 0.04 - 9 Apr 2010

• Much enhanced support for XML namespaces. Tests and functionality added; still lacking is the "Whatever" mapping, required for crazy XMLSchema stuff like >any namespace="##any" processContents="skip"/< - this will be supported in the next release.

• Various bug fixes, more rejection of invalid input, and so on.

VERSION 0.03 - 7 Apr 2010

• Some error message enhancements for from various forms of API misunderstanding.

• more missing dependencies added.

VERSION 0.02 - 25 Mar 2010

• Back-port to work on pre-1.70 XML::LibXML

• some missing dependencies added.
