SVN::Notify 2.50 is currently making its way to CPAN. It has quite a number of changes since I last wrote about it here, most significantly the slick new CSS treatment introduced in 2.47, provided by Bill Lynch. I really like the look, much better than it was before. Have a look at the SVN::Notify::HTML::ColorDiff output to see what I mean. Be sure to make your browser window rally narrow to see how all of the sections automatically get a nice horizontal scrollbar when they’re wider than the window. Neat, eh? Check out the 2.40 output for contrast.

Here are all of the changes since the last version:

2.50 2005-11-10T23:27:22

• Added --ticket-url and --ticket-regex options to be used by those who want to match ticket identifers for systems other than RT, Bugzilla, GNATS, and JIRA. Based on a patch from Andrew O’Brien.
• Removed bogus use lib line put into Makefile.PL by a prerelease version of Module::Build.
• Fixed HTML tests to match either “’” or “'”, since HTML::Entities can be configured differently on different systems.

2.49 2005-09-29T17:26:14

• Now require Getopt::Long 2.34 so that the --to-regex-map option works correctly when it is used only once on the command-line.

2.48 2005-09-06T19:14:35

• Swiched from <span class="add"> and <span class="rem"> to <ins> and <del> elements in SVN::Notify::HTML::ColorDiff in order to make the markup more semantic.

2.47 2005-09-03T18:54:43

• Fixed options tests to work correctly with older versions of Getopt::Long. Reported by Craig McElroy.
• Slick new CSS treatment used for the HTML and HTML::ColorDiff emails. Based on a patch from Bill Lynch.
• Added --svnweb-url option. Based on a patch from Ricardo Signes.

2.46 2005-05-05T05:22:54

• Added support for “Copied” files to HTML::ColorDiff so that they display properly.

2.45 2005-05-04T20:38:18

• Added support for links to the GNATS bug tracking system. Patch from Nathan Walp.

2.44 2005-03-18T06:10:01

• Fixed Name in POD so that SVN::Notify’s POD gets indexed by search.cpan.org. Reported by Ricardo Signes.

2.43 2004-11-24T18:49:40

• Added --strip-cx-regex option to strip out parts of the context from the subject. Useful for removing parts of the file names you might not be interested in seeing in every commit message.
• Added --no-first-line option to omit the first sentence or line of the log message from the subject. Useful in combination with the --subject-cx option.

2.42 2004-11-19T18:47:20

• Changed “Files” to “Paths” in hash returned by file_label_map() since directories can be listed as well as files.
• Fixed SVN::Notify::HTML so that directories listed among the changed paths are not links.
• Requiring Module::Build 0.26 to make sure that the installation works properly. Reported by Robert Spier.

Enjoy!
