Hello,
I made great progress with CGI::Session maintenance today.
I went through every non-wishlist open bug report for the module and
replied or commented on it. I think nearly 100% of them were resolved
because they were either trivial, or had already been fixed in the 4.x
development series.
So things aren't as bad as they might seem.
I also hacked some more on the code in my darcs repo. A quick summary
of the changes is below. See my previously posted RSS feed or darcs repo
address for more details.
Finally, the best news is that I heard back from Sherzod and he is very
enthusiastic about collaboration. He is going to send me a copy of his complete
CVS history, which we can use to seed the communal SVN repo.
Also, this initial blessing is an indication that we will able to have our
work stay under the CGI::Session name space.
Finally, I'll propose that further e-mail list discussion on this topic be
moved to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Currently rather quiet). I'm
in the process of adding it to Gmane, so it will soon also be available via
NNTP and RSS for those who would prefer to read it that way. We can still
provide this list with periodic updates.
I'll get in touch with Jason Crome (the SVN repo hoster) when I have the CVS
history and am ready to import it, and then we can announce the availability of
that once it's set up. (Or you can go ahead and start hacking with darcs now).
The first priority should be resolve to the test failures that are currently
there, and add more tests to insure full 3.x compatibility.
Summary of changes I've made to CGI::Session:
* document that param values may also be a hashref or arrayref
* Add code and tests for $CGI::Session::MySQL::TABLE_NAME (which worked in
3.x)
* remove stale comment
* provide more details when there is a DB problem, for faster debugging
* Allow test to run using DBI_DSN
* adding a little documentation to the DBI driver
* don't hijack the plan
* Call number_of_tests through OO layer for better sub-classing
* add some documentation to CGI::Session::Test::Default
* Allow PostgreSQL tests to run by simply setting DBI_DSN.
* mention exactly which server we are trying to connect to
* minor clean-ups
* typo fix: Use the 'Pg' driver to test PostgreSQL
* improving table_name support
* RT#6141: confirm that CGI::Simple is supported
* typo fix
* Adding docs, tests and code for is_new(), a regression from 3.95
* moving .pm files to ./lib for more convenient use
* Adding all 3.x tests to test suite. (There are some test failures)
