ReleaseNotes
Release notes for all releases
Introduction
Notes for each release will be added below. Don't be put off that the last release was July 2006 - despite the apparent long pause, development has not been abandoned. The project is still very much current.
release 0.5 - 22 July 2006
This release appears small, but includes some significant changes which may have caused some regression. Do let me know if you spot any anomalies. Any test results are welcome. There’s a live version on tools.microformatic.com
In this release:
- fixed by-ref issue cropping up in PHP 5.0.5
- fixed a bug with a@title
- added support for new hCard fn=n optimisation
- added support for new a.include include-pattern
The a.include pattern is still not quite finalised, but I felt it was worth implementing to see how practical it is to both use and parse. If for any reason a.include doesn’t become official, I’ll be taking it out again.
The new fn=n optimisation says that if n isn’t specified and n cannot be implied from fn, then fn can be assumed to be equal to “fn n” and fn may therefore contain n’s sub-items. Easy, right?
release 0.4 - 23 June 2006
This release of hKit has a number of small, but important improvements:
- Refinment of the include-pattern code to prevented nested includes from causing infinite loops
- Calls to getByURL() now return false if URL can’t be fetched
- Added pre-flight check to ensure SimpleXML is available
- Added deduping of class names that are only supposed to appear once
- Prevented accumulation of multiple ‘value’ values
- Tuned whitespace handling and treatment of DEL elements
With the hCard profile, hKit now pretty much supports all the parsing rules on the wiki and passes all the hCard tests in the test suite.
release 0.3 - 22 June 2006
Last night I dropped another update to hKit – version 0.3.
I’m still focussing on getting hCard support properly working before branching out to other µFs.
Key improvements are:
- Support for include-pattern
- Support for td@headers pattern
- Performs implied n-optimization expansion, rather than leaving it to the user
- Passes all hCard tests, apart from the telephone example cited yesterday
Problems I know I haven’t dealt with yet, but have in-the-shower solutions for are:
- Infinite loop protection for include-pattern
- Nested formats, e.g. hCard inside hReview, or XFN inside hCard, or both!
- Flight-checks and fallover for different PHP environments
Any testing and feedback is appreciated.
