0.02 2007-03-20
Added the setMessage method and associated configuration options for
the various monitors.
0.03 2007-03-21
Minor fixes to adjust the tar building (my gnuwin32 tar creates weird
permissions in the archive).
0.04 2007-03-23
Replaced wipeAtEnd with atEndStrategy
Clear any message when ending
0.05 2007-03-27
Made the Null monitor a singleton
Made passMessageToParent default to 0 and parentTicks to 1
Made it allowable to skip calling prepare() and go directly to begin()
The messageFiller can be blank/undef, causing partial overlay
Minor help text changes
messageStart/EndOverlayFields are now 1 based indices.
0.06 2007-04-05
- Fixed a loophole; if maxwidth not set we must fall back to hardcoded
79 unless the Term::Size... stuff returns something worthwhile
- Added a convenience subMonitor method to the interface; makes it
cleaner to instantiate a SubTask monitor
- Added a setErrorMessage method and associated support
- Fixed bug where the Bar never indicated empty progress when it was
blank
- Mumbo jumbo with getting stuff printed right when backspacing
before or after - 'backspaceAfterRender'
0.07 2007-04-11
- Added a clone method to progressmonitors
- made sure error messages are cleaned from ws
- set[Error]Message msgs are no longer mangled, but passed right through
- a msg is passed through as-is if messageStrategy is newline (message filler applied though...should it?)
0.08 2007-04-23
- It's possible to call 'end' directly if no work is needed at all
This signals 'completion' of the monitor.
- Avoid treating a 'begin(0)' the same as 'begin()'
- Division by zero in some fields when totalTicks is explicitly '0'.
0.09 2007-05-09
- When using an overlay message on a field shorter than the msg, the
rendition became longer than its maxwidth
0.10 2007-05-21
- Removed the setting of ticks == totalTicks at 'end'
0.11 2007-05-25
- Added a new message strategy - 'overlay_newline'.
