- Fixed broken documentation for custom report definitions regarding column
formats.
- Modified date access to use the more efficient Date::get_date method, which
also shrinks the code.
- Added the 'remaining' format for all date columns.
- Many files were missing an explicit cmake.h include. Some were not including
it at all. Now it's used almost everywhere.
(cherry picked from commit 82ae86979c497e6d1d0c6b2b5a55aa379ec82c98)
- Some bad inefficiencies in date formatting were noticed, and when addressed,
caused a bug to surface. The length of a formatted date can be calculated
from the dateformat, but was done incorrectly. Very, very incorrectly.
- Added unit tests.
- Promoted date column-specific "countdown" size measurements up to the ColDate
base class. This neatly falls out from work on #1218.
- Noted a potential I18N problem in Date.cpp.
- Added support for more type-specific checks of attribute values.
- Added support for more type-specific attribute rendering.
- Improved generalized methods for checking columns in a report.
- Added unit tests.
- Minor code cleanup.
- Added secret hidden feature for internal testing.
- Added feature #800, adding a new command 'columns' that lists all the columns
available for custom reports, and includes their formatting options (thanks
to T. Charles Yun).
- Refactored column objects to contain a ::validate method, for the
validation of incoming data.
- Context.columns is now a vector of one of each column object,
indexed by attribute name, for validation purposes.
