chklinks change log
2006-06-01 version 3.02
1. SIGNATURE: Fixed. Added the missing META.yml.
2. Fixes in HTML documents.
2006-05-31 version 3.01
1. HTML documents were missing in version 3.00. I have put them
back. I have also made a lot of changes, including Web
Accessibility updates.
2. chklinks: Updated $UASTR to use $LWP::VERSION when
LWP::RobotUA->_agent() is not available. LWP::RobotUA->_agent()
is only available after libwww-perl version 5.53_91. (It's
2001-04-20, though.)
3. chklinks: Use File::Spec instead of File::Spec::Functions.
File::Spec is more compatible in older versions.
4. Several translated Chinese documents are added.
2006-05-30
1. ChangeLog: Added the forgotten version number.
2. Makefile.PL: Added the missing prerequisites LWP::RobotUA,
HTTP::Cookies and HTTP::Request. Removed Net::HTTP that is not
used anymore.
3. chklinks: Removed the prerequisite Net::HTTP. It is not used
anymore.
2006-05-30 version 3.00
1. Documentation fixes.
2006-05-29
1. Fixed the usage in usage help from chklinks.pl to chklinks. Fixed
the help text from "check for" to "check against".
2. Change the name fetch_doc_redir() to fetch_redir() and
fetch_doc_noredir() to fetch_noredir().
3. t/00-signature.t and 99-pod.t: added.
4. t/htdocs: a simple test suite is created. t/01-basic.t is rewritten
to use that test suite.
2006-05-28
1. Use warn() instead of print STDERR in warnings.
2. Added %ALLOWED_SCHEMES, with 5 protocols supported: http, https,
ftp, file and gopher, which are supported protocols common to LWP
and URI.
3. parse_args() and proc_link_val(): Modified to respect
%ALLOWED_SCHEMES instead of filtering out everything but HTTP.
4. check_links(): Fixed the comment from
"We will never parse the remote documents" to
"We are not parsing remote documents".
5. Removed unnecessary scalar() in parse_args() and check_links().
6. parse_args(): Updated the warning, change
"Skipping scheme-less URI" to "Skipping URI without a scheme",
change "Skipping hostless URI" to "Skipping URI without a host".
7. Use LWP::RobotUA to make request instead of making HTTP request
myself. Added fetch_doc_noredir(), fetch_doc_redir(), get_ua()
and get_target() to replace fetch_http(), fetch_http_redir(),
new_http() and re_http().
8. Changed User-Agent text from chklinks/version to
chklinks-robot/version.
9. Use HTTP::Cookies to save and use the cookies. As $COOKIE_JAR
as the common cookie jar for all the UA objects.
10. Added noreq_key() and %NOREQ_HOSTS to prevent bothering servers
that are not available and returning HTTP 503.
11. Support file:// scheme gracefully. Added rep_uri() to report
the file:// URI gracefully. Currently tested on Linux and
MSWin32. More tests required.
12. Moved chklinks from bin directory to the source root.
2006-05-27
1. Add the prototype declaration.
2. Use HTML::LinkExtor to parse and extract the links in an HTML
page, instead of parsing it myself.
2003-05-26 version 2.02

desirable in most cases.
2. Documentation fixes.

in order to work with perl 5.005.
