RELEASE HISTORY

Changes:

  • Modernize build configuration

  • Switch to BSD-2-Clause license.

2.2.1 / 2011-06-11

This release changes BaseDir#to_s to return the first directory entry, and moves the old #to_s to #environment_with_defaults with an alias of #env. The old #env now being called #environment.

2.1.0 / 2011-06-09

This release changes the BaseDir#list method, where as it used to be an alias for #to_a, it now differs in that it does not expand the paths. In addtion a few tests were fixed and version number properly updated int hte version.rb file.

Changes:

  • Change BaseDir#list to not expand paths.

  • Properly assign VERSION constant.

  • Fix broken qed tests.

2.0.0 / 2011-06-09

Major new release is full rewrite of the API, with an eye out for support future XDG standards beyond the base directories. The new API uses a single point of entry ‘XDG[]` (a shortcut for `XDG::BaseDir[]`).

Changes:

  • Complete rewrite of API.

  • Utilize single point of entry interface.

  • Structure project for future support of more of XDG.

1.0.0 / 2009-12-01

This is major reimplementation of the XDG API to be more flexiable and object-oriented. Instead of a single module with every needed method, the system is devided up into sub-modules, one for each set of XDG locations. So, for example, instead of “XDG.data_dirs” you use “XDG::Data.dirs” or “XDG.data.dirs”.

Changes:

  • Reworked API and underlying implementation to be more OOP-style.

  • Began work on xdg/extended.rb, exploring future proposals.

  • Provides xdg/compat.rb, for backward compatabilty (temporary).

0.5.2 / 2009-05-30

This release requires rbconfig.rb and uses system entries in place of some hardcoded FHS locations.

Changes:

  • Replaced hardcoded system directories with rbconfig entries.

0.5.1 / 2008-11-17

Changes:

  • Fixed data work directory is ‘.local’, not ‘.share’

  • Deprecated #data_work

0.5.0 / 2008-10-28

Changes:

  • Changed _glob to _select

0.4.0 / 2008-10-26

This release removes the xdg_ prefix from the instance-level method names. Now module and instance levels are the same.

Also, data_file, config_file and cache_file have been replaced with data_find, config_find, cache_find, data_glob, config_glob and cache_glob.

What’s next? Well, I can’t say I’m fond of the term ‘glob’, so I may rename that to ‘map’ or ‘collect’ (or ‘select’?) and then add the ability to use blocks for matching too.

Changes:

  • Renamed instance level methods without ‘xdg_’ prefix.

  • Replace _file methods with _find and _glob methods.

  • Prepare for v0.4 release

  • Remove some old commented-out code

  • Fixed data_find and data_glob

  • Update RELEASE file

  • Updated documentation for 0.4 release

  • Added MANIFEST to .gitignore

  • Correction or RELEASE

  • Fixed plural in RELEASE file
