Documentation tidyup

Revision 2.39  2003/12/06 07:54:21  wadg

[By Proxy for domq]

* Encapsulation of internal data structures even for use within the

  class: e.g. ReadConfig() and the TIEHASH interface operate using accessor

  methods on $self. Causes massive simplification of the code.

* TIEHASH interface made load-on-demand. Order of each() in TIEHASH

  same as configuration file's order (i.e. $self->Sections() and

  $self->Parameters()).

* push() and exists() methods

* -allowempty and -deltas parameters to new()

* support for loading config from a SCALAR reference. Unfortunately

  this also requires a small patch to IO::Scalar, whose author has yet

  to respond to my email

* ->{myparms} and ->{mysects} fields, supporting -delta=>1 option to

  WriteConfig()

* _assert_invariants() method (used only in t/01basic.t and

  t/02weird.t, maybe should be packaged otherwise)

Revision 2.18  2001/03/30 04:41:08  rbowen

Small documentation change in IniFiles.pm - pod2* was choking on misplaces

=item tags. And I regenerated the README

The main reason for this release is that the MANIFEST in the 2.17 version was

missing one of the new test suite files, and that is included in this

re-release.

Revision 1.7  2000/09/21 11:19:17  rbowen

Mostly documentation changes. I moved the change log into the POD rather

than having it in a separate Changes file. This allows people to see the

changes in the Readme before they download the module. Now I just

need to make sure I remember to regenerate the Readme every time I do

a commit.

1.6 September 19, 2000 by JW, AS

* Applied several patches submitted to me by Jeremy and Alex.

* Changed version number to the CVS version number, so that I won't

have to think about changing it ever again. Big version change

should not be taken as a huge leap forward.

0.12 September 13, 2000 by JW/WADG

* Added documentation to clarify autovivification issues when

creating new sections

* Fixed version number (Oops!)

0.11 September 13, 2000 by JW/WADG

list when no groups are present (submitted by John Bass, Sep 13)

* Fixed reference in POD to ReWriteFile. changes to RewriteConfig

* Applied patch for failed open bug submitted by Mordechai T. Abzug Aug 18

* Applied patch from Thibault Deflers to fix bug in parameter list

when a parameter value is undef

0.09

Hey! Where's the change log for 0.09?

0.08

2000-07-30  Adrian Phillips  <adrianp@powertech.no>

* test.pl: Fixed some tests which use $\, and made those that try

to check a non existant val check against ! defined.

* IniFiles.pm: hopefully fixed use of $\ when this is unset

(problems found when running tests with -w).  Similar problem with

$/ which can be undefined and trying to return a val which does

not exist. Modified val docs section to indicate a undef return

when this occurs.

0.07

Looks like we missed a change log for 0.07. Bummer.

again.

0.02 Tue Jun 13, 2000 by RBOW

parameters, or group members. These functions now return

() if the particular value is undefined.

how the internal data structure works.

noting).
