Matt Lawrence (1): Do not reverse the order of new parameters Peter Rabbitson (1): Fix RT#59274 - courtesy of a stupid 5.8.[12] join bug 2011-08-15 Gisle Aas Release 1.59 Make sure accessor methods don't return utf8::upgraded() bytes for URLs initialized from Unicode strings. Version number increments. Documentation tweaks. 2011-01-23 Gisle Aas Release 1.58 This release reverts the patch in 1.57 that made query_form distingush between empty and undef values. It broke stuff. [RT#62708] 2011-01-22 Gisle Aas Release 1.57 Perl 5.6 is no longer supported; use backpan.cpan.org to obtain obsolete versions of URI. Mark Stosberg (8): typo fix: s/do deal/to deal/ best practice: s/foreach /for / Whitespace: fix inconsistent use of tabs vs spaces Code style: fix inconsistency with subroutine braces at the end of the line vs below it. Modernize: s/use vars/our/ ... since we require 5.6 as a minimum version now Whitespace: fix indentation so blocks are consistently indented Add formal terms "Percent-encode" and "Percent-decode" to the NAME and description to match the RFC Drop support for Perl < 5.8.1 Perl 5.8 was released almost 10 years ago. It's time. Gisle Aas (6): Convert test to use Test::More Adjust tests for query_form Avoid "Use of uninitialized value"-noise from query_form State test dependencies [RT#61538] We also depend on ExtUtils::MakeMaker State 5.8 dependency in the META.yml file Ville Skyttä (2): Guess HTTPS and FTP from URI::Heuristic input with port but no scheme. Try harder to guess scheme from hostnames besides just "$scheme.*" ones. John Miller (1): Distingush between empty and undef values in query_form [RT#62708] 2010-10-06 Gisle Aas Release 1.56 Don't depend on DNS for the heuristics test 2010-09-01 Gisle Aas Release 1.55 Gisle Aas (2): Treat ? as a reserved character in file: URIs " is not a URI character [RT#56421] Torsten Frtsch (1): Avoid test failure unless defined $Config{useperlio} 2010-03-31 Gisle Aas Release 1.54 Alex Kapranoff (1): Fix heuristic test fails on hosts in .su (or .uk) domains [RT#56135] 2010-03-14 Gisle Aas Release 1.53 Ville Skyttä (6): Remove unneeded execute permissions. Add $uri->secure() method. Documentation and comment spelling fixes. Fix heuristics when COUNTRY is set to "gb". Use HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, and LANG in country heuristics. POD linking improvements. Michael G. Schwern (2): Rewrite the URI::Escape tests with Test::More Update URI::Escape for RFC 3986 Gisle Aas (1): Bump MIN_PERL_VERSION to 5.6.1 [RT#54078] Salvatore Bonaccorso (1): Suppress wide caracters warnings in iri.t [RT#53737] 2009-12-30 Gisle Aas Release 1.52 Gisle Aas (7): Encode::decode('UTF-8',...) with callback implemented in 2.39 %%host%% hack can be removed when URI::_server::as_iri works Don't croak on IRIs that can't be IDNA encoded IDNA roundtrip test on wrong variable Check behaviour when feeded URI constructor Latin-1 chars Add some test examples from draft-duerst-iri-bis.txt Need to recognize lower case hex digits as well 2009-11-23 Gisle Aas Release 1.51 Fixup a test that was broken on Windows 2009-11-21 Gisle Aas Release 1.50 The main news in this release is the initial attempt at providing support to IRIs. URI objects now support the 'as_iri' and 'ihost' methods. Gisle Aas (28): Added more tests for setting IPv6 addresses using the host method Document how the host methods deal with IPv6 addresses A "test case" to start IDNA prototype from Escape IDNA hostnames Introduce the as_unicode method Make as_unicode undo punycode for server URLs An IRI class might be helpful (RFC 3987) Must punycode each part of the domain name separately Include initial private Punycode module Get URI::_punycode working punycode of plain ascii should not edit with "-" Some more tests from RFC 3492 Add private URI::_idna module based on encodings/idna.py Start using URI::_idna for encoding of URIs Avoid various use of undef warnings Fix test affected by IDNA Keep reference to IDNA::Punycode in the URI::_punycode docs Ensure upgraded strings as input Update manifest with the new idna/punycode files Rename as_unicde to as_iri draft-duerst-iri-bis-07: The proposed RFC 3987 update Load Encode when its used Rename host_unicode as ihost Add basic iri test Hack to make as_iri turn A-labels into U-labels Make as_iri leave escapes not forming valid UTF-8 sequences Merge branch 'iri' Don't include RFCs in the cpan tarball Michael G. Schwern (3): Fix != overloading to match == Note that mailto does not contain a host() and this is not a bug. Strip brackets off IPv6 hosts [RT#34309] 2009-08-14 Gisle Aas Release 1.40 Even stricter test for working DNS, 2nd try. 2009-08-13 Gisle Aas Release 1.39 Even stricter test for working DNS, hopefully this gets rid of the rest of the heuristics.t failures. 2009-05-27 Gisle Aas Release 1.38 Ville Skyttä (3): Spelling fixes. Tatsuhiko Miyagawa (1): skip DNS test if wildcard domain catcher (e.g. OpenDNS) is there Gisle Aas (1): Avoid "Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch" error with perl-5.6. 2008-06-16 Gisle Aas Release 1.37 Gisle Aas (1): Support ";" delimiter in $u->query_form Jan Dubois (1): We get different test result when www.perl.com doesn't resolve. Kenichi Ishigaki (1): URI::Heuristic didn't work for generic country code [RT#35156] 2008-04-03 Gisle Aas Release 1.36 : Escape Unicode strings as UTF-8. Bjoern Hoehrmann : fixed URL encoded data: URLs GAAS: uri_escape_utf8() now exported by default as documented. BDFOY: Test fails with Business::ISBN installed [RT#33220] JDHEDDEN: lc(undef) reports warning in blead [RT#32742] GEOFFR: add some tests for gopher URIs [RT#29211] 2004-11-05 Gisle Aas Release 1.35 Documentation update. Simplified uri_escape_utf8 implementation. No need to load the Encode module. Contributed by Alexey Tourbin. Work around bug in perl-5.6.0 that made t/query.t fail. 2004-10-05 Gisle Aas Release 1.34 URI->canonical will now always unescape any escaped unreserved chars. Previously this only happened for the http and https scheme. Patch contributed by Eric Promislow . 2004-09-19 Gisle Aas Release 1.33 URI::file->canonical will now try to change the 'authority' to the default one. Fix heuristic test. Apparently www.perl.co.uk is no more. 2004-09-07 Gisle Aas Release 1.32 Introduce $URI::file::DEFAULT_AUTHORITY which control what authority string to use for absolute file URIs. Its value default to "" which produce file URIs that better interoperates with other implementations. The old mapping behaviour can be requested by setting this variable to undef. 2004-06-08 Gisle Aas Release 1.31 Added uri_escape_utf8() function to URI::Escape module. Fixed abs/rel behaviour for sip: URIs. Fixed by Ville Skyttä . Avoid croaking on code like $u->query_form(a => { foo => 1 }). It will still not really do anything useful. 2004-01-14 Gisle Aas Release 1.30 Documentation fixes by Paul Croome . 2004-01-02 Gisle Aas Release 1.29 Added support for the ldapi: and ldaps: schemes. The ldaps: implementation was contributed by Graham Barr. Added support for mms: scheme. Contributed by Dan Sully . 2003-11-30 Gisle Aas Release 1.28 The query_param_delete() method was not able to delete the last parameter from a form. Similar problem existing when deleting via query_param(). Patch by . The query_form() method now allow an array or hash reference to be passed to set the value. This makes it possible to set the value to an empty form, something that the old API did not allow. The query_keywords() method now allow an array reference to be passed to set the value. 2003-10-06 Gisle Aas Release 1.27 The URI module is now less strict about the values accepted for gopher_type attribute of gopher:-URLs. Patch suggested by the Net::Gopher author; William G. Davis. 2003-10-03 Gisle Aas Release 1.26 Help Storable deal with URI objects. Patch contributed by . Fix failure under OS/2. Patch contributed by Ilya Zakharevich. 2003-08-18 Gisle Aas Release 1.25 Allow literal '@' in userinfo. If there are multiple '@' chars in the 'authority' component use the last (instead of first) as the 'userinfo' delimiter. Make URI->query_form escape '[' and ']'. These chars where added to the reserved set in RFC 2732. This also matches MSIE behaviour. Silence warning from 'sip' support class. 2003-07-24 Gisle Aas Release 1.24 Relative URIs that start with the query string directly (i.e. "?q") are now absolutized as specified in rfc2396bis. See: http://www.apache.org/~fielding/uri/rev-2002/issues.html#003-relative-query Added URI::Split module. It's a lightweight module that can be used to parse and compose URI string to/from its component parts. The rel() method will now work from canonical URIs. That allow it to extract a relative URI in more cases. 2003-01-01 Gisle Aas Release 1.23 Support for tn3270 URIs. Use anchored DNS lookups in URI::Heuristic as suggested by Malcolm Weir . Delay calculation of MY_COUNTRY() in URI::Heuristic. Patch by Ed Avis . Make test suite work for UNC paths. Patch by Warren Jones . 2002-09-02 Gisle Aas Release 1.22 Added URI::QueryParam module. It contains some extra methods to manipulate the query form key/value pairs. Added support for the sip: and sips: URI scheme. Contributed by Ryan Kereliuk . 2002-08-04 Gisle Aas Release 1.21 Restore perl-5.004 and perl-5.005 compatibility. 2002-07-18 Gisle Aas Release 1.20 Direct support for some new schemes urn:, urn:isbn:, urn:oid:, rtsp:, and rtspu:. The rtsp support was contributed by Matt Selsky . Documentation fix for $URI::ABS_REMOTE_LEADING_DOTS. CPAN-RT-Bug #1224. The host for URI::file was not unescaped. Patch by Ville Skyttä . 2002-05-09 Gisle Aas Release 1.19 URI::Heuristic will guess better on strings like "123.3.3.3:8080/foo". It used to think that the numbers before ":" was a scheme. URI::WithBase will not keep the full history of any base URI's base URI etc. This used to make these objects grow into to monsters for some web spiders. URI::URL->new("foo", "bar")->base used to return a "URI" object. Now an URI::URL object is returned instead. Deal properly with file:///-URIs. 2001-12-30 Gisle Aas Release 1.18 Added support for ssh: URIs. Contributed by Jean-Philippe Bouchard URI::Escape: Make sure cache is not set when the RE wouldn't compile. Fix suggested by . Applied patch as suggested by Randal L. Schwartz. Don't try to come up with the e-mail address of the user as the anonymous password. Patch by Eduardo Pérez . 2001-09-14 Gisle Aas Release 1.17 Fixed unescape of %30 in $http_uri->canonical. Fixed test failure for t/heuristic.t on cygwin. Fixed warning noise from t/old-base.t on bleadperl. Perl now warns for pack("c*", $i) when $i > 127. 2001-08-27 Gisle Aas Release 1.16 URI::Escape::uri_escape default has changed. Reserved characters are now escaped when no second argument is provided. The perl5.004 backwards compatibility patching taking place in the Makefile.PL should now work for MacPerl. Patch by KIMURA Takeshi . URI::WithBase now overrides the can() method and delegate it to the URI member. This also affects the URI::URL behaviour. Patch by Sean M. Burke . 2001-07-19 Gisle Aas Release 1.15 [This release was made just to document the changes that went into the (unreleased) URI-1.13 but never made it into this change-log. There is no functional difference between the 1.14 and 1.15 release.] 2001-07-18 Gisle Aas Release 1.14 The module failed on perl5.004 because \z is not supported in regexps. The Makefile.PL will now try to patch the module to be compatible. 2001-05-15 Gisle Aas Release 1.13 (never made it to CPAN) URI.pm now conforms to RFC 2732 which specify how literal IPv6 addresses are to be included in URLs. URI/Escape now allows "/" in the $unsafe pattern argument. 2001-04-23 Gisle Aas Release 1.12 URI->new($u, $scheme) does no longer fail if given a badly formatted scheme string. URI::WithBase's clone and base method was basically just broken. This also affected the URI::URL subclass. The clone() method did not copy the base, and updating the base with the base method always set it to "1". 2001-02-27 Gisle Aas Release 1.11 The t/heuristic.t test relied on the fact that 'www.perl.no' was not registered in DNS. This is no longer true. The penguins at Bouvet Island will hopefully be ignorant of Perl forever. 2001-01-10 Gisle Aas Release 1.10 The $u->query_form method will now escape spaces in form keys or values as '+' (instead of '%20'). This also affect the $mailto_uri->header() method. This is actually the wrong thing to do, but this practise is now even documented in official places like http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1 so we might as well follow the stream. URI::Heuristic did not work for domain-names with dashes '-' in them. Fixed. Documented that $uri->xxx($1) might not work. 2000-08-16 Gisle Aas Release 1.09 uri_unescape() did not work when given multiple strings to decode. Patch by Nicholas Clark . 2000-08-02 Gisle Aas Release 1.08 ldap URIs now support _scope() and _filter() methods that don't have default values. Suggested by Graham Barr. Incorporated old rejected MSWin32 patch to t/old-base.t. Hope it works. 2000-06-13 Gisle Aas Release 1.07 URI::WithBase (and URI::URL) now support $u->new_abs constructor. URI::WithBase->new("foo", "URI::URL") bug fixed. 2000-04-09 Gisle Aas Release 1.06 Clean test/install on VMS. Patch by Charles Lane 2000-02-14 Gisle Aas Release 1.05 QNX file support by Norton Allen . Support for rsync:-URI by Dave Beckett 1999-08-03 Gisle Aas Release 1.04 Avoid testing for defined(@ISA) and defined(%class::). Patch by Nathan Torkington . $uri->abs() did wrong when the fragment contained a "?" character. Typo in URI::ldap spotted by Graham Barr. 1999-06-24 Gisle Aas Release 1.03 Escape all reserved query characters in the individual components of $uri->query_form and $uri->query_keywords. Make compatibility URI::URL->new("mailto:gisle@aas.no")->netloc work again. 1999-03-26 Gisle Aas Release 1.02 Added URI::ldap. Contributed by Graham Barr . Documentation update. 1999-03-20 Gisle Aas Release 1.01 MacOS patches from Paul J. Schinder Documentation patch from Michael A. Chase 1998-11-19 Gisle Aas Release 1.00 Added new URI->new_abs method Replaced a few die calls with croak. 1998-10-12 Gisle Aas Release 0.90_02 Implemented new $uri->host_port method. $uri->epath and $uri->equery aliases to make URI::URL compatibility easier. 1998-09-23 Gisle Aas Release 0.90_01 New README Makefile.PL list MIME::Base64 as PREREQ_PM Original $scheme argument not passed to _init() method. Automatically add scheme to empty URIs where the scheme is required: URI->new("", "data") Documentation update. New URI::URL::strict implementation. 1998-09-22 Gisle Aas Release 0.09_02 New internal URI::file::* interface. Implemented 8.3 mapping for "dos". Got rid of $URI::STRICT and $URI::DEFAULT_SCHEME More documentation. 1998-09-13 Gisle Aas Release 0.09_01 Use version number with underscore to avoid that the CPAN indexer hides the URI::URL from libwww-perl that contains all the documentation. Started to document the new modules. URI::file->new() escape fix which allow Mac file names like ::.. to be treated as they should (I think). 1998-09-12 Gisle Aas Release 0.09 Included URI::Escape and URI::Heuristic from LWP. URI::Escape updated with new default set of characters to escape (according to RFC 2396) and a faster uri_unescape() function. URI::Heuristic updated with a new function that returns an URI object. First argument to URI->new is always treated as a string now. URI->new("", URI::WithBase("foo:")) now works. It returns an URI::WithBase object. Included Roy T. Fielding's URI parsing/abs tests from . We did in fact agree with RFC 2396 on all tests. Allow authority "A|" in Win32 file:-URIs to denote A:. Treat escaped chars. 1998-09-10 Gisle Aas Release 0.08 Implemented transformations between various file: URIs and actual file names. New URI::file methods: new new_abs cwd file dir 1998-09-09 Gisle Aas Release 0.07 Implemented rlogin, telnet and file URLs. Implemented URI::WithBase Implemented URI::URL emulator (ported old URI::URL test suite) Can now use schemes with "-", "+" or "." characters in them. $u->scheme will downcase. $u->_scheme will keep it as it is. Configuration variables for $u->abs $u->query_form and $u->query_keyword is more careful about escaping "+" and "=". $u->host unescaped $u->_port if you want to bypass $u->default_port Can handle news message-ids with embedded "/" now 1998-09-08 Gisle Aas Release 0.06 Implemented gopher URLs Implemented ftp URLs Second ctor argument can be a plain scheme name. If it is an object, then we use the class of the object as implementor. Protect literal % in various places by escaping Path segments with parameters are not arrays of class URI::_segment, which overloads the stringify operator. URI::http->canonical will now unescape unreserved characters. 1998-09-08 Gisle Aas Release 0.05 Implemented news URLs (together with snews/nntp) Implemented pop URLs (RFC 2384) Can now use '==' to compare if two URI objects are the same or not. $u->opaque_part renamed as $u->opaque Better canonicalization Faster $u->abs (especially for URI that already are absolute) $u->query_form will keep more chars unescaped 1998-09-06 Gisle Aas Release 0.04 Implemented mailto:-URLs (specified in RFC 2368) Moved query() methods to internal URI::_query mixin class. Escape stuff in the media_type field of data:-URLs. 1998-09-06 Gisle Aas Release 0.03 based on simplified scalar object. 1998-09-02 Gisle Aas Release 0.02 based on perl5.005 and fields.pm 1998-04-10 Gisle Aas Release 0.01
