- Added unit tests for the '<=' and '>=' operators. All tests pass,
which makes a nice treat.
- Added more tests to '<' and '>' operators, so that all three data
types are covered.
- Some attribute values (ie wait:tomorrow) when parsed, need to take
the data type of the attribute (date) and use that as an implied type
of the value (date literal).
- Arg renders type-less and category-less values as "", instead of "none".
Cleaner output.
- Allowed durations to be specified numerically as seconds, in string form.
This flexibility allows the removal of special-case handling that stores
recurrence periods in raw form ('monthly'), reducing code size. As a
consequence this means that recurrence may now be rendered according to
Duration::formatCompact, which is desirable.
- Added supporting unit tests.
- Improved some task validation errors by including data.
- Improved the phrasing of some error to be less pompous.
- Marked validation errors that need to be downgraded to warnings.
- Arg now has a _value member that reflects the value in play, rather
than the input _raw value. Only _value is used in eval.
- DOM expansion capabilities are now controlled by rc.dom.
- Arguments are now categorized as either "literal" or a specific
category, with accompanying type. Type is inferred for literals,
and referenced for attributes.
- The A3::Arg object is very similar to the E9::Term object, so the two are
being merged. First step is to separate A3::Arg into it's own space, then
add a _type member.
- Added more valid stop characters as terminators for various arg types.
- Removed redundant E9 special handling for dates, which is already built in
to the Date object.
- Addressed bug #804 by allowing rc.hyphenate to control whether hyphens are
inserted when long lines are broken. This may help prevent xterm from
mis-parsing URLs in task annotations, when wrapped (thanks to Yann Davin).
- Added unit tests.
- Duration were parsed as <int><unit> in A3, whereas <number><unit> is
correct.
- Added Nibbler::str method for internal access.
- Nibbler::save, ::restore now return positions. Useful for extracting
substrings.
- Modified countdown.t to use the (now) correct units for durations.
- When a date attribute is updated, the expression may have evaluated to
a duration, which at this point is simply a number. If it is below a
certain threshold (5y) then it is considered a duration and added to
'now', otherwise it is considered a date.
- Change the was performance measurements are taken. This in preparation
to automated daily perf charts, leading to efforts to speed up certain
operations.
- If a file (pending.data) is open and locked, trying to open it again
caused an error, whereas is now does nothing and reports success.
- Corrected timing info in Command::filter.
- 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.
