reslog change log
2005-04-26 version 2.9901
1. INSTALL rewritten.
2. UPGRADE added.
2005-04-25
1. Module::Signature SIGNATURE gpg signature file
added.
2. Test suite added.
3. Many bugs fixed, thanks to the test suite.
2005-04-24 version 2.99
This is a new object-oriented version. I rewrote
the whole script from an empty file.
1. Rewrite everything in object-oriented style.
2. ithread threading support is added. With
threading it can check several IP at the same
time, dramatically reducing the time cost.
This requires Perl 5.7.2 ithread support. New
option --num-threads is added for this. You
can see the effect by running with -d -d.
3. Supports for running gzip executable, running
Compress::Bzip2, running bzip2 executable are
added. This is the benefit of object-oriented
programming. Log entry read/write is now done
through an uniformed I/O handler API. This
eased the addition of new I/O handlers.
4. New option --trim-suffix is added to remove
certain file name suffix before appending our
suffix, so that reslog can line-up with other
log file post-processers.
5. file utility can be used instead of
File::MMagic if that is not available.
6. Term::Size is used to display the progress bar
under UNIX. Under MSWin32 Win32::Console will
be used instead. reslog can run without them,
but you won't see the progress bar.
7. Instead of resolving line by line, reslog now
collects all the IP found on all the source
log files first, resolve those IP altogether,
and replace the IP with the resolved domain
name in the log entries at one time.
8. The script and project name changed from
"reslog.pl" to "reslog". A dot "." in the
project name is not valid everywhere, like
SourceForge. "reslog" is enough for a script
name under UNIX. Win32 users won't run it
with explorer file association anyway, and
there is a pl2bat to turn reslog to reslog.bat.
9. Installation method is changed from my own
Install.PL to Perl's standard
ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Utilizing standard is
a good thing. Perl's ExtUtils::MakeMaker is
more portable than GNU's autoconf. As a
result, reslog is installed into /usr/bin
instead of /usr/sbin under UNIX. Of course,
reslog don't need installation at all. :p
10. Version number is changed from 3 digits (2.1.0)
to 2 digits (3.00), according to the Perl module
convention.
11. ChangeLog is renamed as Changes, as what
ExtUtils::MakeMaker expects.
2003-01-04
1. File handler EOF read checks were fixed with
defined().
2002-11-13
1. Long statistic lines are split for easy reading.
2. open_src() was rewritten according to open_src()
in arclog.pl, in order to use comression with
gzip and bzip2 binary executables.
2002-11-12
1. RELEASE_NOTES was renamed as ChangeLog.
2. AUTHORS was added.
3. THANKS was added.
4. The option checking logic was rewritten.
5. Fixed several places where $WORKING_SRC was not
locked when created with tempfile.
6. Fixed several places where spaces are between
function name and its opening parenthesis,
according to perlstyle(1).
7. Unnecessary parenthesis after slice and catfile
were removed.
2002-10-28
1. Fixed a bug that $WORKING_RES was not locked
when opened. But it is unlocked when closed.
On some systems (like linux) you can request
unlock on a filehandle that is not previous
locked, but on some others (like win32)
requesting unlock on a filehande that is not
previous locked will cause error.
$WORKING_RES doesn't really need locking at
all. It is an anonymous temporary file handle,
that can be accessed by this same working
process only. It has no risk of simultaneously
writing without threading, and I'm not doing
threading here. I just lock it for a
consistent programming style.
(Thanks to Chen-hsiu Huang
<chenhsiu@gens.dhs.org> for reporting this.)
2002-09-28
1. File::MMagic and file are now used to check the
file type, in addition to the file name suffix,
with a more preferred order.
2. check_file_type() was added to check the file
types by either File::MMa
3. check_gzip() was added to check the gzip method
to use.
4. check_bzip2() was added to check the bzip2
method to use.
2002-09-18 version 2.1.0dev2
SourceForge Memorial Release. It's my first time
to apply a project from SourceForge. Mostly are
corrections to the documentation. SourceForge's
project page is added to the available download
source here.
1. reslog.pl's official home page at Tavern
IMACAT's was restored.
2. The previous version was renamed from
2.1.0-dev1 to 2.1.0dev1, in order to unify
the version number theme.
3. The project space at SourceForge was applied.
Package files are uploaded to SourceForge now.
4. Project virtual host at SourceForge was set up.
5. SourceForge was added into the documentation
as an official website and download source.
6. Documentation were corrected. Too many places
were corrected. Ignored.
7. HTML document was rewritten to accommodate
XHTML 1.1 recommendation.
2002-08-31 version 2.1.0dev1
Rewrite after almost 1 year, to be run on the
newly-released perl 5.8.0.
1. Filehandles are now saved and passed in global
named variables. This is the way it should be.
The old way (initialize the file handles by
duplicate the STDIN and assign them) was just
not natural. It works in perl 5.6.1, but not in
perl 5.8.0. The duplicated filehandles are
constants, which cannot be assigned new values.
2. Indents are changed from 1 tab to 4 columns, to
accommodate the perl style guide documented in
perlstyle(1). This increases the code
readability.
3. File operation error handlers are now using the
low-precedence logical "or", instead of "||",
which is recommended in perlop(1). Excessive
parentheses in file operation functions are
removed for this.
4. Traditional Chinese files are now named with
suffix ".zh-tw" instead of ".b5". Simplified
Chinese files are now named with suffix ".zh-cn"
instead of ".gb". This is to accommodate
RFC-3066, ISO 639:1988, ISO 3166-1 for language
names.
5. PGP signatures of distribution files are added.
6. bzip2 distribution files are added.
2001-09-03 version 2.0.2
1. The bug that taking file handles as private
variables and modified them, was fixed.
2001-09-01 version 2.0.1
1. The bug that resolved cache %NAMES was not
global, was fixed. The resolved result can be
pass between multiple files now.
2. A bug that a hyper reference in the English
document was not specified as an absolute URL,
was fixed.
2001-06-29 version 2.0.0
First public release.
1. Chinese and English standard header were added.
2. Getopt::Long was introduced to parse the
arguments, in replace of my own argument-parsing
routine.
3. File::Spec::Functions was introduced to handle
the pathnames.
4. Cwd was introduced to obtain the current working
directory.
5. autoflush from IO::Handle was introduced, to
autoflush STDOUT solely under debugging mode.
6. File::Temp was introduced to handle the
temporary working file. Processing is done on
temporary working files to reduce the time
occupying the source and result files.
7. Compress::Zlib was used to read the compressed
files.
8. rel2abs() was added to convert relative paths
to absolute paths.
9. progress_bar() was added to display current
status graphically.
10. res_log() was added to loop multiple files.
