root/todo/trunk/ChangeLog

0.1.20
- A few bugfixes.
- Added XML declaration parsing/saving. This is a stop-gap at best, but will
  hopefully be useful to some.
- Removed reliance on builtin regex library. Hopefully the completely broken
  version of glibc that instigated the inclusion of it is now out of
  circulation.
- Fixed a whole bunch of compiler warnings on more recent GCC versions.
- --not-done now marks sub-tasks as not done. Thanks to an anonymous
  user for picking this up.

0.1.19
- Updated my E-Mail address after about a year of having the wrong one :)
- Removed informational message at top of .todo files as it was rather useless
  and actually annoying to some people placing their .todo files under version
  control systems.
- Added a XSLT -> XHTML+CSS transform from Francesco Poli.
- Added a bash completion script from the Gentoo projects maintainer Aaron
  Walker.
- Fixed seg fault visible on 64-bit systems but present on all. Thanks to the
  Debian project for notifying me and providing a fix.

0.1.18
- Added --purge [<days-old>] option which lets you purge old completed items.
  Thanks to Jakub Turski for wanting this feature.
- Can now use force-colour in the todorc. 
- Various patches from Debian and Gentoo maintainers applied. These fix
  compiler errors on recent GCC versions, uncaught exception when TERM is not
  set, a few man page issues, issues with the BASH scripts and miscellaneous
  other things.

0.1.17
- Fixed seg-fault when specifying bold colours with the --colour option. Thanks
  to Tim Peoples for pointing pointing this out.
- Renamed regex.{c,h} to c_regex.{c,h} so they don't conflict with Regex.{cc,h}
  under operating systems which do not honour case (OS/X and/or Cygwin). Also
  removed -s (strip) from LDFLAGS, as this is not supported on some O/S' (eg.
  OS/X). David Bacher wrote in with these issues.
- Modified tod2html.xslt so the todo title is displayed in the page, as well as
  in the page title.
- Fixed an issue with not displaying links when timeout was in effect.
- Added a new 'default' priority which has the following semantics: when adding
  a new item it will be priority 'medium', when grafting to an existing item 
  the new item will be given the parents priority, and when editing an existing
  item its priority will be preserved. An items priority can be overridden on
  the command line with --priority <priority> when any of these actions are 
  performed. Devtodo will never prompt for priority with this enabled. Handy for
  putting in your ~/.todorc.
- Fixed display issues when summarising multi-line items.
- Fixed a bug where colours were reset when displaying linked databases.
  
0.1.16
- Made broken links silently fail rather than failing loudly and horribly.
- Modified the semantics for expanding indices. Now when you use an index with
  no modifier (eg. todo 10, as opposed to todo -10 or todo +10), only one
  level of children is expanded.
- Big change is the addition of multi-line items and title texts! This is a 
  much requested feature. To use this, you can either pipe text into devtodo:
        cat <<- EOF | tda -p medium
        This is some
        multi-line 
        text.
        EOF
  Or press <CTRL-N> to insert a new line when at the devtodo input prompt.

0.1.15
- Added --force-colour option to force use of colour even when not outputting to
  a terminal. Requested by James Troup.
- Added a patch sent in by Philipp Buehler which adds support for title strings
  to the todo2html.xslt XSLT script.
- Fixed bug when displaying priorities in TODO list ("mediumriority").
- Added a MASSIVE patch sent in by Christian Hammond which adds support for 
  linking other todo databases into one single view. This is extremely useful
  for situations where you have a core project directory with sub-directories
  containing unique individual databases. You can link them so they are all
  viewed from the core database. Great work!
- tda will now merge all non-quoted arguments into one string to be used for 
  the body text of the item to add. This lets this work:
    tda -p high Need to go to the shop and get some milk
  without needing to do:
    tda -p high "Need to go to the shop and get some milk"
- Another bug report by James Troup via the Debian Project. Thanks James and
  Arthur for being long time supporters of the project!
- Made doc/scripts.sh more coherent and less convoluted.
- A variation on the XSLT transform was sent in by Christian Hammond. An 
  example of its use is available at http://www.chipx86.com/todo.ml.

0.1.14
- Fixed a bug where devtodo doesn't work without the TERM variable being set.
  Caused havoc in Bill Carlson's cron job. Thanks for tracking it down Bill.
- Fixed some more GCC 3.x compilation problems. I'm still using [io]strstream,
  as opposed to the more correct [io]stringstream, so that it should still
  compile with older versions of GCC. Fingers crossed.

0.1.13
- Patch from David Furodet to fix compilation problems on Solaris.
- Added 'finishing comments'. This allows you to optionally add a comment to an
  item when you are marking it as done, giving reasons/comments for why you are
  marking it complete. This is really useful. This also breaks backward
  compatibility with previous BINARY formats only. The XML format is not
  affected.

0.1.12
- Applied a patch by Michael Tilstra that fixes segfaults when overriding 
  colours.
- Added a script (contrib/tdrec) to display databases from all sub-directories.
  Thanks to Brian Herlihy for the contribution. Modified it slightly so it 
  passes arguments to devtodo (such as --summary).
- Modified cd, pushd and popd replacement scripts (doc/scripts.sh) so that their 
  exit status is preserved. Required so things like this work correctly:
    cd doc && echo foo
  Thanks to Erin Quinlan for the fix.
- Now displays the index of newly added items when --verbose is on. Thanks to 
  James Troup for suggesting this.
- Fixed man page inconsistency with '-S' and '-s' for summary mode. Thanks to 
  James Troup again for picking this up.
- Another problem found by James Troup - when grafting, the validity of the 
  grafting index was only checked after the new item text was typed. This has
  been recitifed.
- Work around for some weirdness when generating RPM's.

0.1.11
- Modified .spec file so it doesn't do an aclocal/autoheader/automake/autoconf 
  before compiling. Fixes incompatibilities between versions of automake.
- Applied a patch sent in by Anreas Amann to fix more incompatibilities with 
  GCC 3.0.

0.1.10
- Now 'using namespace std;'. It's the standard and it seems as if GCC 3.0 
  finally requires it, so in it goes.
- Fixed an incompatibility with versions of GCC prior to 3.0 using different
  arguments to std::string::compare. Quite annoying. I replaced it with 
  strncmp.
- Readline is driving me insane. The example from the readline info page says
  to use "completion_matches" so I basically copied the code verbatim. But
  some versions don't seem to include the function in the readline header 
  file? Agggggghh. So once again, it's back to using a manually created
  header file. It seems to work the best.

0.1.9
- I had a bad feeling that including the readline headers would cause problems
  and I was right :(. I'm now not including any readline headers of any form,
  so if compilation breaks due to your system readline headers having K&R style
  function declarations, upgrade to the latest version.
- Renamed the XSLT examples to reflect their purpose (eg. xslt-example.1 => 
  todo2pdf.xslt)

0.1.8
- Fixed for the spelling of "heirarchical" :)
- Repatched --mono fix that gets rid of spurious escape sequences (picked up
  by Mark Eichin).
- Fixed envar expansion broken by event handling modifications. Whoops.
- Numeric priorities can now be specified on the command line. Christian
  Kurz picked this one up.
- Added a new filter for searching through the database. This is done with 
  the filter '/'. eg. "todo --filter /CVS" will show all items with the word
  CVS in them. This can also be expressed as a shorthand version: "todo /CVS". 
  The text is interpreted as a regular expression.
- Changed filter behaviour to be more logical. Numeric filters with no sign 
  prefix will now only show the item itself, not children. Prefixing the 
  filter with a + will display the children as well and prefixing with a -
  will filter out that item.
- Subsequently almost totally rewrote filtering code so it's more logical and
  doesn't break (hopefully).
- Short arguments can now be fully merged into one argument. eg.
    todo -v -v -f 2-10
  can be represented as:
    todo -vvf2-10
- Added an "echo" command for use in ~/.todorc. This can be used for status
  messages or whatever. eg.
     on save echo Saved $TODODB
- Added another PERL script (contrib/changelog2html) to convert directly from 
  the ChangeLog to HTML.
- Fixed default formatting string for --TODO.
- James Troup had the suggestion (which is now implemented) of clearing the 
  priority as soon as the user hits a key other than enter when editing an 
  existing item. 
- Copied the readline.h and history.h from my system's readline into devtodo's
  source. Hopefully this won't break compiles on any systems :\.

0.1.7
- Finally tracked down the VERY nasty (at times up to a minute or more) 
  slowdown some users have been experiencing. It turns out that one of the
  recent versions of glibc has a bug in its regex code when dealing with
  non-multibyte characters (ie. most of the time). This came to a head because
  I upgraded to slackware-current, which has this version of glibc. Great.
  Thanks to Mark Eichen for pointing me towards several Debian bug tracker
  items about other programs having this same problem.
- Added a new directory "contrib" which will be used for anything that users
  contribute that is not patched into the main distribution.
- XSLT transform courtesy of Mark Eichin, to convert devtodo XML databases into
  colour PDF's. This is contrib/xslt-example.1.
- XSLT contribution for converting devtodo XML databases into HTML, courtesy of
  Daniel Peterson. This is contrib/xslt-example.2.
- I have created an amalgam of the above two XSLT contributions that will
  output a HTML page with colourised items. Completed items are struck out.
  This is a dodgy hack, so if anybody has any enhancements it would be much
  appreciated.
- Changed filename of src/todo.cc to src/main.cc so that devtodo will compile
  under environments where case is not relevant in filenames (ie. Cygwin under
  M$ Windows).
- Added a small PERL script to generate a todo database from a ChangeLog file
  that's in the same format as that used by devtodo. In the contrib directory.
  eg. changelog2todo > changelog.todo && devtodo --database changelog.todo
- Added two new events: "load" and "save". This can be used in conjunction 
  with one of the above XSLT files by putting something like the following in
  your ~/.todorc (assuming you have libxlst installed - www.xmlsoft.org):

  on save exec xsltproc $HOME/etc/todo-html.xslt $TODODB > `dirname $TODODB`/.todo.html

  Which will basically generate a .todo.html file every time a devtodo database
  is modified.
- Fixed a few minor man page bugs.

0.1.6-1
- Changed --summary to a toggle so you can use "todo -s" to switch it on or off.
  This minimises the use of the shift key ;).
- Uncommented two lines so that --priority works once more when editing items.
- Added RPMage.

0.1.6
- When creating backups, I now make the backed up databases read-only if 
  --paranoid is specified.
- A slight modification to the BASH shell script to make it more compatible
  (courtesy of Arthur).
- Added -S/--summary (and -s/--no-summary to override it if 'summary' is the 
  default in ~/.todorc) which only displays the first line of todo items. This 
  is handy if, like me, you have numerous multi-line items. The shell scripts
  use this by default now, meaning when you cd into a directory only the first
  line of each item will be shown (handy for a quick...summary).
- Added --timeout [<seconds>] option. When no second are specified, todo will
  only display the database if it hasn't been displayed within a number of 
  seconds (also specified by using --timeout, but *with* a number of seconds). 
  For example, by putting this in your ~/.todorc: "timeout 10", then adding 
  "--timeout" when you run devtodo, the database will only be displayed if
  it hasn't been displayed within 10 seconds. The shell scripts have been 
  updated to use this facility. The access time is used to determine when the 
  database was last used (stat.st_atime).
- Unified formatting strings into one location and added the generic option
  --format <tag>=<format-string> to modify them as well as the option
  --use-format <tag>=<tag> to use them. eg. 
      todo --use-format verbose-display=generated
- Now attempts to obtain the width of the current terminal from the termcap
  database (if compile fails (please send me a bug report, and...) re-run 
  ./configure with the --without-termcap option).
- Added a '%s' output formatting flag which formats item text the same as is
  done with --summary.
- You can use the (undocumented) --dump-config option to dump the current 
  config to stdout. This should be usable as a ~/.todorc file pretty much
  as is. Handy to use as a base for your own modifications.
- Fixed a minor bug where invalid numeric priority exceptions weren't being
  caught.
- Added "title" as a defineable colour, seperate from the "info" colour.
- Integrated some Debian Makefile mojo (thanks go to Arthur Korn).
- Fixed --paranoid behaviour. The logic to check permissions had become
  commented out in the move to multiple loaders.
- Added an "exec" command to the ~/.todorc. This can be used to execute
  shell commands from within devtodo, although it's really only useful in
  conjunction with triggers (see below). In addition, the environment variable
  TODODB will contain the name of the current database.
- Added event "triggers". These are useful for modifying the behaviour of
  devtodo. A perfect example of a use for this is to trap the "create" trigger
  so that when a new database is created todo will remove world and group
  permissions from it.  eg.
      on create {
          verbose
          exec chmod 600 $TODODB
      }
- Modified Makefile.am in src and doc to support relocatable installs (via
  automakes DESTDIR variable).

0.1.5-1
- Fixed a nasty Makefile bug that can, under certain circumstances, cause
  the build/install to fail.

0.1.5
- Added a binary database format. The default is still XML, but you can 
  change this using the new --database-loaders option. You can transparently
  convert your existing XML databases to binary format (or vice-versa) by
  simply changing the load order. For example, to change from XML to binary,
  put this in your ~/.todorc: database-loaders binary,xml
  The next time you modify an XML format database, it will be saved in binary 
  format. The man page has more information. I recommend only using the binary
  format if you are actually having performance problems, as if something
  goes awry, manually fixing the XML database is *much* easier. But if you do
  use it, it might be an idea to use it in conjunction with --backup.
- Added user-defineable formatting for both display output and TODO generated
  output. This is cool. Look for the section FORMATTING in the man page.
- Added a new filter, which I've wanted for ages. It constists of a single '-', 
  '+' or '='. A '-' stops display of all items except those explicitly specified
  in the rest of the filter whereas a '+' overrides all other filters to display
  all items. A '=' is the default behaviour. This is brilliant if you want
  to narrow the view down to just one item: todo --filter -,29 (*Note*: Slightly
  superceded by the modification to the semantics of numeric filters, which now
  display *only* the numbers specified if the = (or no) prefix is used - see
  two points down for more information).
- Modified the numeric filters. Ranges can now be specified by doing this:
  todo --filter 1-20. If a '-' sign precedes the range it explicitly excludes
  all these items. This can also be used in most other places indices are used.
  ie. todo --done 10.1-20 would mark items 10.1 through 10.20 as done.
- Modified behaviour of numeric filters slightly. If prefix is '=' or none,
  *only* those items are displayed. Before, this was a nop.
- Patch to todorl.h courtesy of Philippe M. Chiasson that fixes compilation
  problems on RH 7.0.
- Priority defaults to medium if a blank line is entered at the "priority>"
  prompt (thanks to Alexei Gilchrist for this idea, along with quite a few
  others :))
- Removed --fallback-database - the semantics were too clunky and generally
  confusing.
- Added --global-database <filename> and -G,--global to replace 
  --fallback-database. Basically, you specify a file with --global-database
  (defaults to ~/.todo_global) then whenever you pass -G or --global to todo it
  will use the global database. Much simpler than the way --fallback-database
  behaved. This idea was courtesy, once again, of Alexei Gilchrist. Good stuff!
- todo can now automatically backup the database to a user specified number
  of levels. Use the option --database [<n>] to do this, where <n> is the
  optional number of revisions to keep (defaults to 1). This option is best
  specified in your ~/.todorc.
- Numbers can once again be used to specify priorities when entering them from
  the 'priority>' prompt (requested by Alexei Gilchrist).

0.1.4
- Added version checking so that the binary won't accept databases from
  future versions. The actual behaviour is that minor revision differences
  produce a warning while major revision differences cause an error.
- Added a patch from Arthur Korn that allows the bash scripts to cd into
  directories with spaces.
- Fixed a few man page problems, again courtesy of Arthur (I swear this
  guy doesn't sleep!)
- Changed primary binary to 'devtodo', with a convenience symlink, 'todo'.
  Also changed the man page filename to reflect this. The user should see
  no actual difference though, as symlinks with the old names exist.
- Fixed a bug where todo would segfault if ^D was pressed while editing a 
  line. Thanks to Matt Kraai for picking this up. The problem was due to 
  not handling a NULL return value from readline.
- More man page fixes (this time, thanks again go to Matt).
- You can now specify more than one item index on the command line as
  seperate arguments. Previously, a comma was required and if multiple 
  arguments were used the last one was used. Arthur picked this one up.
- Added parsing of /etc/todorc (actually, the location is specified by the 
  --sysconfdir argument to configure, so it will probably be 
  /usr/local/etc/todorc on most peoples systems).
- Added awareness of the TODORC environment variable. This specifies the
  RC file to parse on startup. TODORC=$HOME/.todorc is the default
  behaviour. This idea was thanks to Claude. Claude also suggests, quite 
  rightly, that it would be useful for specifying a system-wide todorc
  file by putting TODORC=/etc/todorc in /etc/profile or somewhere similar.
- Added two new arguments for modifying the database used. The first is
  --database <file> which is used to change the default filename used. eg.
  --database .todo is the default behaviour. The other is 
  --fallback-database <file> which specifies the database to use if no other
  can be found. By default there is no fallback database. Both of these 
  options can be specified in the .todorc.
- Environment variables can now be used in the ~/.todorc. This is especially
  useful for something like 'fallback-database $HOME/.todo'.
- Finally fixed the bug where &gt; and &amp; were not being correctly 
  interpreted.
- Fixed a long-time bug where wraptext() was wrapping the first 
  line prematurely.
- Fixed a bug where if the sort order changed, visible indices would not match
  parameter indices.
- --verbose now displays time between when an item was created and when it was
  completed.
- Added --date-format for formatting the display of dates (currently only used
  with --verbose). The format is that used by strftime(3) but if strftime is not
  available on a system, ctime(3) is used.
- Added fully-featured sorting via the --sort parameter. It is now possible to
  sort on pretty much anything you can think of; creation time, completed time,
  duration of item, text body, priority and whether an item is done or not.
- Added --paranoid option that enables some warnings about permissions. This
  is in response to a user request to not make the .todo file group/world 
  accessible. This option will make devtodo warn the user if such a database
  is created.
- Removed --sync and --no-sync. You can generate the TODO file with --TODO.

0.1.3
- Fixed a MAJOR bug introduced while fixing the non-correlating indices
  where all editing of sub-items caused a seg-fault! This was a bad one.
  Thanks to Ron Bailey for picking this one up.
- Added auto-cd scripts for tcsh, courtesy of Matthew Russell.


0.1.2
- Regex needs sys/types.h to be included before regex.h on BSD - solution
  thanks to Ashley Penney
- Fixed curses failing to link on Solaris due to the link phase not
  bringing in the termcap library. Thanks to Josh Wilmes for picking this 
  up (subsequent autoconf script snippet shamelessly stolen from librep).
- Fixed bug introduced by new colour code where colours were not being reset 
  to the default terminal colour as they should have been. Once again, 
  Stephan Hegel picked this one up...thanks again.
- Related to the above bug, added a new 'colour' called 'default' which is
  the terminals default colour and removed the defineable colour item
  'normal'.
- Fixed a fairly major bug that was triggered when changing the priority
  of an existing item - it caused visible indices not to correlate with 
  their actual index.
- When grafting a child, the priority of the parent is used by default.
- Added check for empty rx - FreeBSD doesn't support this.
- Changed string parameter for Regex = to char const *. This fixes compile
  errors using gcc 2.9.2 udner FreeBSD.
- Changed default 'low' colour to un-bolded cyan.
- Removed '-r' as a short option - this functionality only exists as 
  --remove now.

0.1.1
- Bug picked up by Christoph Jaeger relating to the use of a temporary 
  string in TodoDB::find() has been fixed - there may be more, need to 
  investigate further.
- Added call to rl_initialize so that ~/.inputrc gets read correctly - 
  patch from Ulrich Pfeifer (with slight modifications by me).
- Validated options in ~/.todorc so that options like 'add' and 'reparent' 
  can't be used.
- Added section on colours to the man page.
- Made configure.in determine whether to use curses or ncurses (a problem 
  picked up by Stephan Hegel) and abort if readline won't link properly.
- A few minor man page fixes (again, thanks to Stephan Hegel) - also moved 
  the man into configure.in so the version will be automatically updated.
- Extracted all readline exports into todorl.h - these are required because
  some versions of readline do NOT have C++ compatible headers, that is, the
  most of the functions use implicit parameters which C++ barfs on.
- Added --enable-debug to configure phase which removes -s from LDFLAGS 
  and sets CXXFLAGS to '-Wall -g'.
- Added --mono to remove all ANSI escape sequences - useful for the colour
  impaired terminals (can also be put in ~/.todorc)
- Cleaned up the TodoDB class a bit by moving the StreamColour stuff into
  the class body itself.

0.1.0
- Added a ~/.todorc that basically lets you prepend command line arguments
  to todo before it parses command line arguments. This is perfect for 
  specifying default filters. My personal favourite is 'filter -children' to
  not display child nodes by default. An example is in the doc sub-directory.
- Changed the behaviour of filters slightly in that numeric values in filters
  now represent item indices. Prefixed by a '-', this causes the specified
  item to not be displayed. Prefixed by a '+', the specified item will be
  displayed even if other filters inhibit it.
- Added --colour facility so that users can override the default colours.
- Added --reparent so that items can be moved around the tree.
- If -v is specified, more information is printed out when editing, or adding
  items as well as when adding a title.

0.0.9
- Initial release.
