Kahlil (Kal) Hodgson <kahlil@internode.on.net> performed a major rewrite
|
2011-12-03 12:09:48 -05:00
|
|
|
in order to implement:
|
2011-11-16 09:04:03 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. defered operations,
|
|
|
|
|
2. option parsing via Getopt::Long,
|
2019-06-26 08:25:53 -04:00
|
|
|
3. options to support shared files,
|
2011-11-16 09:04:03 -05:00
|
|
|
4. support for multiple operations per invocation,
|
2019-06-26 08:25:53 -04:00
|
|
|
5. default command line arguments via '.stowrc' and '~/.stowrc' files,
|
2011-11-16 09:04:03 -05:00
|
|
|
6. better cooperation between multiple stow directories,
|
2019-06-26 08:25:53 -04:00
|
|
|
7. a test suite (and support code) to ensure that everything still works.

As these changes required a dramatic reorganisation of the code, very little
|
2011-11-16 09:59:58 -05:00
|
|
|
was left untouched, and so Stow's major version was bumped up to version 2.

<christopher.hoobin@rmit.edu.au> helped clean up the documentation for
|
2011-11-16 09:04:03 -05:00
|
|
|
version 2 and created the texi2man script.

Adam Spiers <stow@adamspiers.org> refactored the backend code into new
|
|
|
|
|
Stow.pm and Stow/Util.pm modules providing an OO interface, tightened
|
2011-11-23 18:45:48 -05:00

|
|
up the test suite, added support for ignore lists, `make test', and
|
|
|
|
|
distribution via CPAN, and cleaned up numerous other minor issues.
