Revision history for WWW::Myspace
0.29 2006-02-27
message_group:
- Now accepts a reference to a list of groups or a single group.
0.28 2006-02-26
- Fixed a bug in post_comment that would cause comments with
multiple lines to display "<br>" tags when posted to pages that
don't allow HTML comments.
- Made same change in send_message, which makes no difference
in MacOS X, but might on other platforms that interpret "\n"
differently. Should be "safer".
- Updated test scripts to post multi-line messages.
0.27 2006-02-24
- Added "An error has occurred trying to send this message" error RE.
message_group:
- Now displays the reason it stopped (CAPTCHA, USAGE, COUNTER, or DONE).
0.26 2006-02-20
- Included approve_friends, message_group, and comment scripts
in distribution.
- Added browse method, but not yet functional. If you want to
help debug, please do. Otherwise, don't use it yet.
- Added CAPTCHA handling (alpha stage):
- post_comment sets $myspace->captcha and returns FC
- Call post_comment with ID, message, captcha response to
continue.
Note: Using this is a bit tricky, needs better examples.
- Fixed "t/02-dual.........Can't open test config file
readline() on closed filehandle CONFIG at t/TestConfig.pm
line 50." error in test.
- CHANGED submit_friend_request. This implements feature request
17587, but IS NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE. It will DIE if you call
it with more than one friend, so that it can tell you to update
your code. Now returns a status code like post_comment instead
of a true/false value.
- Added submit_friend_requests method for multiple adds (but see
docs for a better example).
0.25 2006-02-20
- Added debugging code.
- Updated URLs for get_friends sub-methods. Versions before
this one will not return all friends.
- Added warning if friend_count and number of friends returned
by get_friends differs by more than 10 friends or 5% of
friend_count.
- Added page verification RE to get_friends to help ensure all
friends are accounted for.
0.24 2006-02-19
- Added logged_in method. Returns true if login was successful.
- Added login failure tests to test scripts.
- Updated for changes in myspace.com. These fix install test
errors and the get_friends method (whose URL relies on
friend_count) as well.
- user_name now gets name from "Hello, <name>!" line.
- Included test for optional "<span>" in friend_count.
PREVIOUS VERSION WILL FAIL INSTALL TESTS AND get_friends,
user_name, AND friend_count METHODS (and possibly others)
WILL NOT WORK.
0.23 2006-02-11
- Added "profile undergoing routine maintenance" error RE to
list of error pages.
- Added add_to_friends convenience method.
- Updated URL for inbox friends check. Fixes friends_who_emailed
method and tests so install works.
- Updated $SEND_MESSAGE_FORM URL. Fixes mail sending and tests.
- Fixed POD for add_to_friends.
PREVIOUS VERSIONS WILL FAIL INSTALL TESTS AND CAN'T SEND
MESSAGES.
0.22 2006-02-10

disabled for special maintenance" error.

- Updated URLs in send_friend_request, delete_friends,
post_comment to use new myspace URLs.

button. This is mostly to save people having to update their
message files manually if the code for this changes again.
- Fixed delete_friends method, broken by myspace change.
- Numerous other changes and bug fixes from extensive changes at
Myspace.com.
- Reinforcement of test script items so that tests should pass,
so that end-user installations can include auto-update code
without forcing install.
Message.pm (0.8):
- Added add_to_friends method which adds an "Add to friends"
button after the message if set to true.
If you include an "add to friends" button in your messages,

0.08 2006-01-07/12:52pm
*** REQUIRED VERSION AFTER 1/7/2006 ***
