=head1 VERSION 2 HISTORY

=head2 Version 2.13

=over 4

=item 2011-01-13

[rt.cpan.org #64192] Skip the Safe-related tests more often, since newer
versions of Safe.pm mark their own failing tests as TODO instead of
changing the module's behavior.

=back

=head2 Version 2.12

=over 4

=item 2010-09-07

Skip more tests that fail due to a bug in Safe.pm. Add a prereq for
Safe.pm so CPAN testers will provide more debug info on failure.

=back

=head2 Version 2.11

=over 4

=item 2010-09-07

[rt.cpan.org #61010] Fix spelling errors and pod example bugs. Thanks to
vshih at yahoo.com for reporting these problems.

=item 2010-09-07

Under Perl 5.13.1 and later with Safe version 2.27, skip failing tests
in t/32-safe.t. The regression tests for Safe 2.27 fail in Perl 5.13.1
as well, in a similar way. This bug is not fixable in any reasonable way
until Safe.pm is also stable.

=item 2010-07-26

[rt.cpan.org #59081] Fix spelling and pod errors. Thanks to Ansgar
Burchardt and the Debian project for submitting this bug report along
with patches.

=back

=head2 Version 2.10

=over 4

=item 2010-06-29

[rt.cpan.org #57797] Deprecate safe_methods parameter.  Unfortunately,
Safe.pm version 2.27 patches a bug we were inadvertantly taking
advantage of to implement the safe_methods parameter.  Unless we can
find a working implementation of safe_methods that is smaller than
"make everything unsafe" then we can't continue to support
safe_methods.

Using safe_methods now issues a deprecation warning, but it should
work with older versions of Safe.  I'm in no hurry to remove the
feature, but I don't want anyone to use it who isn't already using it,
until we know it can be supported in the future.

Thanks to Niko Tyni and the Debian Perl Group for submitting this bug report.

=item 2010-04-05

"uninitialized" warnings in templates were being generated at a line
number within MicroMason instead of a line number within the template
itself. Thanks to Mike Kelly for a patch: by concatenating an empty
string to each TOKEN within the template, the warning's line number is
shifted to inside the template where the interpolation took place.

=back

=head2 Version 2.09

=over 4

=item 2010-03-24

Fix test that was broken by changes in URI::Escape 1.30.  Double
quotes aren't reserved characters in URIs but they were previously
encoded anyway.  Test modified to use reserved single quotes instead,
for URI::Escape testing.

=back

=head2 Version 2.08

=over 4

=item 2010-03-08

Fixed PassVariables bug: <%init> failed with -PassVariables plugin.
Thanks to William Kern for reporting this.

=item 2009-11-19

Fixed [rt.cpan.org #51727] [Patch] POD nit; thanks to Frank Wiegand for
reporting this.

=back

=head2 Version 2.07

=over 4

=item 2009-11-16

Merge patch from Simon Cavalletto: fix bug reported in CPAN forum with
"OUT" appearing in the input template stream.  Thanks!

Update requirement for Test::More 0.48 or later in Makefile.PL. Tests
using unlike() failed with Test::More version 0.47.

Fix problem in t/08_errors.t which caused test failures in Perl 5.6. The
error message isn't as important as the test made it out to be, but the
code didn't have a problem.

=item 2009-11-12

Remove documentation for unsupported compile(lines => ...) mode. Put it
on ToDo instead.

=back

=head2 Version 2.06

=over 4

=item 2009-11-11

Fix bug reported in CPAN forum: substr() in LineNumbers.pm was being
used incorrectly, resulting in incorrect line numbering in some cases.

=item 2009-11-12

#51460: Clean up the tarball and resubmit a version that doesn't
contain a stray .tgz file.

=back

=head2 Version 2.05

=over 4 

=item 2009-11-10

Modify compilation error reporting: provide line numbers when dumping
the compiled template into $@, and change the #line to match the line
numbering correctly.

=item 2009-11-11

Fix bug reported by CPAN testers on some Windows boxes: use
Cwd::abs_path for strict_root checking to avoid literal path separators
in TemplateDir.pm.

=item 2009-11-11

Add a hint about -LineNumbers in the numbered template dump when a
compilation error occurs.

=back
 
=head2 Version 2.04

=over 4

=item 2009-11-06

Fixed SKIP count in t/33_filters.t to prevent test failures when
URI::Escape isn't installed.

=back

=head2 Version 2.03

=over 4

=item 2009-10-30

Happy Halloween.

Updated tests to use Test::More for better diagnostics via CPAN testers.

Tweaked t/34 with a longer sleep() since some linux hosts seemed to be
sleeping for less than a second with sleep(1).

=back

=head2 Version 2.02

=over 4

=item 2009-10-29

Updated Changes.pod.

Fixed SKIP count in t/33 which caused test count mismatches when
HTML::Entities wasn't installed.

=back

=head2 Version 2.01

=over 4

=item 2009-10-29

Fix a bug with TemplatePath error messages. If a template name was
provided that didn't exist in the path, the error message generated by
read_file didn't specify which template was requested. This version
now croaks in resolve_path instead of returning undef and letting
read_file croak.

Updated pod to reflect this change and document previously undocumented
exception strings.

Modified undocumented exception strings for strict_root violations.

=back

=head2 Version 2.0

=over 4

=item 2008-01-02

Fix bug with || filter patch: it was erroneously removing the last
character of the filtered token, which made it fail if there was no
space before the |.

Bump version to 2.0

=back

=head2 Version 1.993_01

=over 4

=item 2007-12-21

Add LineNumbers mixin and associated tests.

=item 2007-12-21

Update TODO: move almost everything into a WISH LIST with a request for
contributions, and make the main TODO list bug fixes and a few likely
developments.

=item 2007-12-21

Merge test and patch from RT bug #21802: cache expiration bug. 

=item 2007-12-21

Merge changes from RT bug #18435: filter problem with 
<% $thing || "default" %>

=item 2007-12-21

Bump version to 1.993_01

=back


=head2 Version 1.993

=over 4

=item 2007-12-20

Alan. Thanks for the wonderful module, Simon! I hope I can keep things
under control.

=over 4

=item 2005-11-13

Updated ToDo.pod with a few ideas for upcoming releases.

Extended t/58-quicktemplate.t to demonstrate use of the pre_fill method.

=item 2005-11-12

Fixed incorrect handling of default values for array or hash variables in an <%args> block. Thanks to Alexander for the bug report.

Added extra newlines to the do blocks generated by Base's assemble(), so that <% exprs %> can contain a comment. Problem reported by Alexander.

Improved error reporting by changing the file name embedded in the CPP-style line number comment at the top of each stretch of generated Perl code. Based on a problem report from Alexander. This does not fix the line numbering problem, but at least the file name is more helpful than it used to be.

=item 2005-08-24

Added RoughDraft of "ParseInfo.pm" based on a reply to a question via email from Alexander.

=item 2005-07-30

Fixed return value from Text::MicroMason::Cache::File set() method; thanks to Alan Ferrency for the helpful bug report and test case.

=item 2004-12-01

Fixed early exit of t/42-text_template.t to skip test if missing Text::Balanced.

=item 2004-11-30

Renamed the Mason compatibilty class to HTMLMason to match other syntax classes. Changed it to be a mixin like the other classes, instead of a subclass.

Switched to use of Class::MixinFactory and removed old class() and NEXT() methods. 

Extracted new interpret() method from inside of compile().

=head1 VERSION 1 HISTORY

=head2 Version 1.07

=over 4

=item 2003-09-26

Discard line break after <%perl> block as suggested by Tommi
Maekitalo. Note that removing these line breaks may affect the
rendering of your current templates! Although I am typically hesitant
to change established behavior, this does improve the template
output and brings us into line with HTML::Mason's behavior.

Added $Debug flag and support for <%args> blocks based on a
contribution by Tommi Maekitalo.

Adjusted internals to allow block reordering, and added support
for <%init> and <%once>.

Released as Text-MicroMason-1.07.tar.gz.

=back

=head2 Version 1.06

=over 4

=item 2003-09-04

Changed the way that subroutines were scoped into the
Text::MicroMason::Commands namespace so that Safe compartments with
separate namespaces and shared symbols have the visibility that
one would expect.

Fixed a bug in which an unadorned percent sign halted parsing, as
reported by William Kern at PixelGate. Added a test to the end of
6-regression.t that fails under 1.05 but passes under 1.06 to
confirm this.

Simplified parser regular expressions by using non-greedy matching.

Added documentation for *_file() functions. 
Corrected documentation to reflect the fact that template code is not compiled with "use safe" in effect by default, but that this might change in the future.

Released as Text-MicroMason-1.06.tar.gz.

=back

=head2 Version 1.05

=over 4

=item 2003-08-11

Adjusted regular expression based on parsing problems reported by Philip King and Daniel J. Wright, related to newlines and EOF. Added regression tests that fail under 1.04 but pass under 1.05 to ensure these features keep working as expected. 

Added non-printing-character escaping to parser failure and debugging messages to better track future reports of whitespace-related bugs.

Moved tests from test.pl into t/ subdirectory. 

Added experimental suppport for file code cache in compile_file_codecache.

Released as Text-MicroMason-1.05.tar.gz.

=back
