Changes for version 0.45 - 2006-05-09

  • Added note regarding logins to test output.
  • Fixed bug in FriendAdder.pm that re-cached friend ids even if they already existed in the database
  • Added methods to FriendAdder.pm and Data.pm to take advantage of caching. FriendAdder.pm's is_band will first attempt to get is_band info from the database before using the Myspace.pm method
  • Cleaned up get_friends code
  • get_friends now accepts a hash of options. Current options are max_count and end_page.
  • friends_from_profile accepts a hash of options like get_friends (same options). IDs can be passed as an array reference or as a single ID ( id => 12345 ) or ( id => [ 12345, 123456 ] ).
  • Altered MySQL table structures to make timestamps consistent
  • add_log table has been dropped in database schema
  • date_stamp now allows user to provide an epoch value in Data.pm
  • accelerated initial sorting of ids in FriendAdder when Data.pm is used
  • Added debugging code to Comment.pm to help track occasional error that causes the module to die with an error about calling post_comment in a boolean context.
  • Removed explicit "$self->current_page" from submit_form calls in post_comment method.
  • site_login now checks for the "You must be logged in" page immediately after submitting the login form. In short, if your password is wrong, it'll try once then return 0 and set $myspace->error. Once logged in, it will cache the username/password as "valid", and subsequent "You must be logged in" pages will be retried more vigorously.
  • Added bad login test script.
  • post_comment now croaks unless friend_id and message are passed.
  • Fixed bug that would cause incorrect warning from get_friends if called a second time after adding or deleting friends within the same script.
  • Modified post_comment to check for SCALAR instead of STR in contextual "return" statement. This hopefully fixes an error which caused WWW::Myspace::Comment::post_comments to fail with "Can't call WWW::Myspace::post_comment in boolean context at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/WWW/Myspace/Comment.pm line 448". (This most notibly affects approve_friends, which would trip this error when posting general comments after approving friends).
  • Modified send_message and send_friend_request to check for SCALAR instead of STR in contextual "return" statement.
  • Modularized site_login method code.
  • Added test to verify logged_in = 1 to 01-login.t.
