- Restored the <name>.<modifier>[:=]<value> syntax that was reduced
to just <name>.<modifier>:<value> to make parsing easier. Now that
A3 is more sophisticated, we can have our sugar back.
- Converted the 'cal' command to TDB2.
- Reinstated command line handling for 'cal' command, but realized there
is a conflict with filters. Filtering disabled for 'cal' until a good
solution is found.
- Converted recur.cpp to use TDB2, which eliminates the file locking
problems that occur when both TDB and TDB2 are in use at the same time.
This will cause other issues until all commands are converted to TDB2.
- Converted CmdCustom to use TDB2, which means that for the first time,
2.0 is now optimizing data load based on filter characteristics. This
means that "task list" and "task next" etc are now *fast*.
- Improved diagnostics for TDB2, for debugging.
- Made locking an integral part of the File object, so that a client
may now call File::lock multiple times with no effect beyond the first
call. This simplifies situations like the 'cal' command that must scan
for recurrence changes, modify tasks, then optionally run a second
report, all without locking issues.
- The command line construct "tags.none:" is translated into the expression
"tags = ''", but instead of '=' I had entered '=='. Force of C/C++/Perl
habit.
- TDB2::load_lines was splitting the text on \n, but because the last
line contains \n, there was an additional blank line. This is what
split_minimal is for.
- split_minimal contained a copy/paste bug that added the extra line
if the input was non-trivial, instead of if the remainder was non-
trivial.
- Fixed incorrect unit test accordingly.
- When parsing duration literals, look-ahead now prevents an ordinal
such as '31st' (August 31st) from being interpreted as two tokens
'31s' (duration) and 't' (word). This is the same fix that was
applied to A3::is_number. I'll be there are more that I missed.
- Annotation timestamps are now incremented until unique. This prevents
rapid, successive annotations colliding. The kind that occur during
unit tests and when using UI wrapper programs.
- Removed 'sleep' commands in unit tests that were added to circumvent
this. This speeds up the test suite somewhat.
- Task is no longer a map of string to Att. Att is itself a name/
value pair, so the name was redundant. Task is now a map of string
to string. This brings the obsoletion of Att much closer.
- Implemented the import command, which only suports JSON. It is
the basis for all other import formats, which will be implemented
as external scripts.
- Fixed bug whereby arguments were categorized, then defaults were injected
but no subsequent categorization occurred.
- Added debug diagnostics for default.command, 'modify' and 'information'
default processing.
- Fixed DOM lookup of special-case attributes: id and urgency are
not stored in the usual manner, and must be handled differently.
- Removed the responsibility of DOM to evaluate literals, because
they are handled more effectively in A3::tokenize.
- Fixed old code that assumed ".id" instead of "id".
- Removed unnecessary diag call from annotate.t.
