=========================================================================== == 4.2 Changelog =========================================================================== The 'changelog' is a log (or list) of all the changes made to the Personal Open Directory. This list is in reverse order so the most recent changes are at the top: v1.73d 31-Mar-2000 RC - Fixed World/ bug The script was un-escaping all topbit characters - unfortently it was re-escaping them for the URLs. This section was just disabled - I bet it's affected something else, but I can't see what. - Fixed Search guide The routine that checks if the page was a search or not was being mis-read when it found the search guide. Now added a bit more information for it to compare - Fixed advanced searches POD now compiles all the search parameters into a single variable ($pod_build_searchparams) which is added onto the end of the DMoz search URL. Should fix this problem. v1.72d 11-Mar-2000 RC - New configuration variables: $pod_headersuppress Disables full HTTP headers - only returns Content_Type - Fixed error in documentation 'Appendix' regarding the chmod command and the octal settings (thanks to donlaur at midwest.net for reporting) - Added FAQ entry 056 'Software error: podvars.pm did not return a true value at pod.cgi' - Should have fixed a slight bug in the 'search parser' when it was looking for the string 'osearch', it now looks for '/osearch' which should make all the difference. v1.71d 29-Feb-2000 RC pod.cgi should now handle RDF files correctly (ie redirecting the browser). Bug regarding certain types of fetches fixed. v1.70d 28-Feb-2000 RC Major re-write of most of POD. Not compatible with previous versions. Major changes include: - Now returns the Content-Length: and Expires: headers. - Formatting should now be fixed on all pages (including FAQs and 'Add a page') - Problem with all searches (and the searchguide.html page) fixed - Better blocking against Denial of Service (D.O.S) attacks implemented - Mozzies and 'cool symbols' are customisable and removable - All variables and routines are now prefixed by pod_ - most handy if you use the POD code in your own program - Descriptions and FAQs in 'fake pages' (such as Regional/UK) now work - Add a site, Become an editor, Update URL and Password Reminder functions now work - Header and Footer are now defined in podvars.pm - Proxy support added (untested though) - No longer requires fnctl or URI::Escape libraries v1.63d 20-Feb-2000 RC Dmoz.org changed their search server (search.dmoz.org) so that it requires a Referer: header sent. This is now sent when doing searches. v1.62d 00-xxx-0000 RC A bug in the Advanced search system fixed v1.60d 00-xxx-0000 JG Debugger messages added v1.59d 00-xxx-0000 JG Not publicly released - internal development version v1.58d 00-xxx-0000 JG Added ability to change the color of the editor table text v1.57d 00-xxx-0000 JG Small bug fix v1.56d 00-xxx-0000 JG A bug relating to the advanced search link fixed.
