Changes in the packaged versions of CPAN::Forum More pages were converted to the new layout. 0.20 2010.02.21 Widen the right column and add ads. 0.19 2010.02.21 Change most of the UI to use div elements instead of table elements Change the whole look of the web site Fix the search tool 0.18 2010.01.18 Converting all the pages to Template Toolkit Removing all the log->debug calls Changing the logging of warnings and errors to go to STDERR 0.17 2010.01.17 Fix crashes noticed after releasing 0.16 in notification and lack of use statements. Start moving to Template Toolkit. Fix the cpanratings update script and the display of the stars. Add mode to reset forgotten password. 0.16 2010.01.11 Switch over to use PostgreSQL Rename the password field to sha1 and use SHA1 Start using CPAN::Faker for testing. Remove process_missing_dist as we don't want to look at search.cpan.org any more. v0.15 2010.01.06 Add (username) write: to the messages sent out Add some unit tests Fix the style sheet so threads can be seen on Safari as well. Make some of the pages XHTML compatible again. v0.14 2010.01.03 Add simple HTML generation. Fix some tests Rename all the environment variables to be CPAN_FORUM_* Eliminate the need for CPAN_FORUM_ROOT and add a few other env variables. v0.13 2010.01.02 First release after a long time. The code of CPAN::Forum is probably broken in this distribution. The reason to release it is the new Populate module and script that for now can use mirror CPAN. Added option to disable all e-mail notifications Enable adding tags to CPAN modules Replace Class::DBI by plain SQL calls in most of the application v0.12 Added /atom feed. Added /rss/threads feed with the latest threads Enable listing modules based on module author Add /author/PAUSEID to show all posts related to modules maintained by PAUSEID Move some of the run modues to be in the CPAN::Forum::RM namespace. Add large button on dist page to start a new post. Added process_missing_dist that will automatically add distributions if they are accessed by one of the search engines and exist on search.cpan.org When a request arrives to /dist/XYZ and XYZ is not in our database we can fetch http://search.cpan.org/dist/XYZ and add the entry to our database. In order not to let some random person bombard our server and that in turn that we don't bombard search.cpan.org (though our server will crash much sooner than search.cpan.org) we can add a list of trusted client ip addresses from the list in the log file. After all very soon most of the correct entries will be added to the database. A trusted ip would be GoogleBot 66.249.66.3, msnbot 65.55.213.74, inktomisearch and similar Cleaned up STDERR, moved voluntary warnings to logger Cookie exparation was increased from 1 day to 14 days Provide a csv file with the number of posts for each distribution so other sites can include it. Create stats page with top 50 modules Logging: add client IP to logger to enable filtering log messages based on that Clean up STDERR, move (some) voluntary warnings to logger Include link to AnnoCPAN, rearrange links Create links http://www.cpanforum.com/rss/author/PAUSEID Fix the dist based feeds: http://www.cpanforum.com/rss/dist/OpenOffice-OODoc bin/populate.pl now gets all its arguments using --options bin/setup.pl now uses --options Let people monitor all current and future modules associated with a certain PAUSE ID. (both RSS and e-mail) A table called "subscription_PAUSE" Let people subscribe to all messages or all thread starters or all followups. Add a table called "subscription_all" Longer usernames Search box on more pages Search for module uses % at the beginning of the string as well Include stars of CPAN Ratings Admin can add new modules manually v0.11_01 Put the page size and the rss size in the configuration table Make CPAN::Forum::Configure an easy interface to the configuration table Give "no result" on no result Trim off leading and trailing spaces from the query. Hide distname from the listing when resticted to one distribution (the same with users) Setup a "status" variable for the site that allows the administrator to lock the whole site. Currently it does not let the admin outlock, s/he has to remove the db/status file for this. v0.11 Search for users Unite the serch methods Accept both upper-case and lower-case HTML tags and turn them all to lower case tags when displaying Accept tags for http and mailto Admin page Admin can change "From" e-address Enable ,
and with

pairs Remove the selection box from the post interface as it was not used there. Put the search form on the home page as well. Admin can change e-mail address of any user Add paging v0.10_02

,
enabled Add link to Kobes Search Improve full text search for posts Add capability to search for module names v0.10 - markup improved, bugs fixed v0.09_05 - POD cleanup (Shlomi Fish) - More tests - Start using Parse::RecDescent v0.09_04 - Before writing a new post instead of showing a list of all the modules now the user first will search for a module name. post link should give a search box that will let the user search within the names of the modules. The result should be a restricted list with only a few module names in a pull-down menu like we have now. The search is a regular SQL LIKE search and we add % signs at both ends of the typed in word.
