Release P4Perl 3.5708 as the latest stable version of P4Perl. It's about time. |
||
| //guest/tony_smith/perforce/API/Perl/current/P4.tar.gz | |||||
| #35 | 5708 | Tony Smith |
Add static P4::Identify() method to report the version of P4Perl, and the API used to build it. |
||
| #34 | 5704 | Tony Smith |
Fix bug introduced in change 5677: the quoting of the const_char definition wasn't good on Windows as it doesn't really understand single quotes. Switched to using double-quotes. |
||
| #33 | 5692 | Tony Smith |
Add support for $p4->ServerLevel() which returns the server's 'server2' protocol level. This is not the same as, but is closely aligned to, the server version and can be used to test for feature availability. If you need explicit Perforce version strings, run 'p4 info' in tagged mode and parse the 'serverVersion' string. New feature requested by Robert Cowham. |
||
| #32 | 5677 | Tony Smith |
Rework P4Perl build script to support 2006.1 API. There were some sweeping changes in the 2006.1 API which did away with the old const_char definition. Unfortunately, since P4Perl has to build with older APIs, I can't quite do the same. This change tweaks the way that Makefile.PL determines the definition for const_char so that (a) it's always 'const char' when a 2006.1 or later API is used, (b) it uses the platform specific hint for older APIs (c) it falls back on 'char' in the absence of a hint. In an ideal world, we'd be able to compute the options based on (a) OS, (b) compiler version (c) Perl version and (d) API version, but that's tough to get right. No functional change. |
||
| #31 | 5624 | Tony Smith | Add hints file for Mac OS X from Tim Bunce (thanks Tim!). | ||
| #30 | 5592 | Tony Smith |
Bug fix: We were erroneously making a Perl scalar mortal (which causes its reference count to be decremented when it goes out of scope) when receiving binary data from the server. Decrementing the reference count to early meant the scalar was being cleaned up when it was in fact still in use. This change simply removes the sv_2mortal() call. Thanks to Mike Hall at National Instruments for finding this one. |
||
| #29 | 5564 | Tony Smith |
Fix memory leaks when dealing with tagged output with array members. One of these days I'll get the hang of Perl's pesky reference counting mechanism... These leaks would have been most noticable with 'p4 filelog' (and that's where they were reported), but in fact any command that returned tagged output with array members would have leaked. |
||
| #28 | 5396 | Tony Smith |
x86_64 porting changes. Use INT2PTR and PTR2INT to handle the stashing of the PerlClientApi pointer in a Perl scalar. This is necessary because, despite all documentation to the contrary, an I32 is not 64-bit capable on all 64-bit machines. Also, the hints file now looks for x86_64 in the architecture name and if it finds it, then const_char='const char' rather than the default of 'char'. |
||
| #27 | 5313 | Tony Smith |
Add new SetApiLevel() method to allow users to lock scripts to a particular API level. This helps when upgrading to new servers that extend support for tagged output to hitherto unsupported commands (2005.2 did a lot of that). See the C/C++ API Release Notes for the full details, but by way of example, to lock scripts to the 2005.1 interface use: $p4->SetApiLevel( 57 ); |
||
| #26 | 5259 | Tony Smith |
Update P4Perl for 2005.2 API changes. The 2005.2 API supplies forms ready-parsed to the client when used in tagged mode. This is fine for P4Perl, except that we were not caching the specdef if no parsing was required and that meant that although forms could be converted to hashes, the reverse direction was broken. This change makes sure that we cache the specdef whenever it's available. |
||
| #25 | 5073 | Tony Smith |
Yet another P4::SetProg fix. Turns out the last change fixed everything except the build script and it all worked... unless you used the 2005.1 API which has a different format for the Version file. P4::SetProg is a no-op when P4Perl is built with an older API so not identifying the API build properly breaks it thoroughly. This change adapts P4Perl's setup script to support both pre-2005.1 and 2005.1 formats, and gives the user the chance to enter the API version manually if it can't be automatically determined. Installers also included in this change |
||
| #24 | 5067 | Tony Smith |
Bug fix: P4::SetProg() interface method was missing so SetProg wasn't working too well! |
||
| #23 | 5038 | Tony Smith |
Bug fix: Fix memory leaks in P4Perl reported by Craig Galley. Perl's reference count garbage collection is not much fun to work with, but hopefully this change plugs P4Perl's leaks. There's still a leak that remains, but whether it's in P4Perl's code or just in Perl I don't know. A loop like this: while( 1 ) { my $p4 = new P4; } will leak like a sieve but I'm pretty sure P4Perl is cleaning up as it should. While it's very difficult to be certain with Perl's memory mode, creating one P4 object and using it multiple times now appears to be pretty steady. Also fixed use of uninitialized debug variable which could produce debug output you hadn't asked for. |
||
| #22 | 5035 | Tony Smith |
Bug fix: call ClientApi::SetProg() before every command instead of just once as this value is not retained by the Perforce API. |
||
| #21 | 4987 | Tony Smith |
Bug fix for tagged mode output from 'p4 diff2'. Diff2 is one of the few (only?) commands to use variables of the form 'var' and 'var2' rather than 'var1' and 'var2'. Normally, if there's no numeric suffix to a variable, P4Perl can assume it's looking at the only instance of that variable in the output. In the case of 'p4 diff2', that's not true. This change enables P4Perl to adapt to this change of circumstances and convert a previously scalar member of the hash result into an array member. |
||
| #20 | 4873 | Tony Smith |
Bug fix: fix typos in test harness that were causing the tests to fail. |
||
| #19 | 4864 | Tony Smith |
Bug fix: Introduce workaround for obscure 2000.1/2000.2 protocol bug that I really thought we'd seen the last of. Along the way, a total revamp of the debugging output - required to diagnose the problem. |
||
| #18 | 4856 | Tony Smith |
Rework P4::Errors() and P4::Warnings() so that they return a list rather than an array. Perl seems to like this more and it's easy to assign the list to an array should you wish to do so. Note that this may cause some backwards-compatibility issues. |
||
| #17 | 4831 | Tony Smith |
Change implementation of P4 class from being a blessed reference to an integer (pointer) to a blessed reference to a hash. The pointer is now stashed in a member of the hash. This makes it easier for those that want to to subclass the P4 class and bolt on their own functionality. No functional change. |
||
| #16 | 4804 | Tony Smith |
Add support for P4::SetMaxResults() and P4::SetMaxScanRows() which specify the desired limits for an instance of the P4 class. Note that the limits remain in force until disabled by setting them to zero. |
||
| #15 | 4754 | Tony Smith |
Add support for passing multiple items of input to Perforce commands that need them. The prime example is 'p4 password' which prompts the user three times for password input (old password, new password and new password again). Also add a P4::Password( $old, $new ) method to make it nice and easy to use. |
||
| #14 | 4698 | Tony Smith |
Bug fix. Correct client initialization so that it no longer causes problems if the connection to the server fails for some reason. Also corrected the number of tests in the test harness. |
||
| #13 | 4676 | Tony Smith |
Enable P4Perl to work against a server in unicode mode. This change adds two new methods to the P4 class: SetCharset() and GetCharset() which have the expected behaviour. Thanks to Raymond Danks <raymond.danks@amd.com>. Also cleaned up the test harness a little. |
||
| #12 | 4667 | Tony Smith |
Caught by the old "hadn't saved my changes" problem, so the Changes file in the last submission was incomplete. Bumping the version number to retry... |
||
| #11 | 4666 | Tony Smith |
New ParseSpec() and FormatSpec() methods allow you to convert specs between hash and string representations easily. Shortcut methods Parse* and Format* are also defined. (i.e. FormatClient() and ParseLabel() etc.) New methods IsTagged() and IsParseForms() tell you if your client is in tagged/form parsing mode respectively. If you care. P4::Tag() is deprecated in favour of P4::Tagged(). P4::Tag() exists for backwards compatibility |
||
| #10 | 4608 | Tony Smith |
Bug fix: The SetInput() method was omitted in the big rewrite so quite a lot was broken in builds 3.4579 and later. This change fixes that omission, and adds support for 'p4 login' too (that was how I discovered that SetInput() was missing). |
||
| #9 | 4586 | Tony Smith |
Update P4Perl tarball with most recent change. No need for a new installer as there's no functional change. |
||
| #8 | 4583 | Tony Smith | Update distribution files to include Windows porting changes | ||
| #7 | 4579 | Tony Smith |
Rewrite P4Perl to be more like P4Ruby. This change does away with the old P4/P4::Client split and pulls all the functionality of P4::Client into P4. Hence P4::Client is now deprecated. There are a few gotcha's - see the Changes file, and documentation for the details, but in general it's backwards compatible. As part of this change, I'm also releasing the previous current versions of P4 and P4::Client as released versions - for posterity. P4 now gets a v3.x version number so the old versions will stand out clearly. Hopefully it's all working - works fine for me - but people should consider this a beta build, for now at least. |
||
| #6 | 4320 | Tony Smith |
Bug fix. Fix the test script so that it handles both tagged and non-tagged output for "p4 info". Tagged support for "p4 info" was added in 2003.2. Thanks to Jeremy Bopp. |
||
| #5 | 3550 | Tony Smith |
Add OutputBinary() support to P4Perl. This allows "p4 print" to work with clients that do not use "local" line endings amongst other things. |
||
| #4 | 2587 | Tony Smith |
Add documentation for P4::Errors() and P4::ErrorCount() which should have been there in the first place |
||
| #3 | 2003 | Tony Smith |
MakeMaker tweaks to cheer up the CPAN folks. Just guessing with the PPD file, but it's better than nothing (I'm told). |
||
| #2 | 1733 | Tony Smith | Documentation update for P4 Perl module. | ||
| #1 | 1011 | Tony Smith |
Moved Perl API stuff one level down to make way for upcoming Ruby interface. |
||
| //guest/tony_smith/perforce/API/current/P4.tar.gz | |||||
| #4 | 982 | Tony Smith |
A couple of minor fixes. test.pl was choking on test 6 as ParseForms had not been called, and Run() now correctly returns an empty list in array context rather than returning undef which was confusing. |
||
| #3 | 961 | Tony Smith | Current build of P4 - version 0.961 | ||
| #2 | 931 | Tony Smith | Latest (931) builds of P4::Client and P4 | ||
| #1 | 926 | Tony Smith |
Reorganise layout of API stuff. Current builds maintained under current/ directory, released versions under released/ . All version numbers are <major>.<changelist> so syncing to the changelist number gets you the code for that build. Also updated the index page and added HTMLised versions of the pod to make it easy to see if this is what you need. |
