I'm pleased to announce release 4.13 of podlators.
podlators contains Pod::Man and Pod::Text modules which convert POD input
to *roff source output, suitable for man pages, or plain text. It also
includes several subclasses of Pod::Text for formatted output to terminals
with various capabilities. It is the source package for the Pod::Man and
Pod::Text modules included with Perl.
Changes from previous release:
Drop support for Perl 5.6. The minimum supported version is now Perl
5.8. Perl 5.6 had not been tested even by CPAN Testers in some time
and isn't supported by Travis-CI, so true support is dubious.
Dropping that version allows cleaning up some old compatibility code.
Fix a warning when outputing to something without a PerlIO layer, such
as when output_string is used.
[Pod::Text] Fix behavior of S<> with Unicode input to be consistent
with behavior with a default encoding, namely treat all whitespace
inside S<> as non-space characters and do not collapse it with
adjacent whitespace.
[Pod::Text::Termcap] Remove an ancient workaround that set the
TERMPATH environment variable whenever a Pod::Text::Termcap object was
created in order to add /usr/share/lib/termcap, necessary on some
ancient Solaris systems. Setting environment variables is bad
behavior for a module, and the Solaris systems requiring this
workaround are long obsolete.
[Pod::Text::Termcap] Remove the fallback to VT100 escape sequences if
Term::Cap was not able to find sequences for bold, underline, or
normal text, and instead skip that part of the formatting. This will
produce more correct behavior on dumb terminals at the possible cost
of losing formatting on systems with malfunctioning terminal
databases, which seems like an improvement. Thanks, Zenin. (#131124)
Further improve the man/no-encode.t test to not care whether Encode
was already loaded or not. Thanks, Martin Becker.
Improve logic for showing large test failures to avoid spurious
failures on systems without diff.
