ChangeLog of Tofu
Plain (stupid) text-based todo(s) manager
Syntax:
=== <version> (<date>)
+ Normal change
= Bug fix
=== 3.5 (20111222)
+ Added the new "co=<colors>" selector, to easily retrieve the colored
tasks without having to systematically associate a dedicated tag on
them.
+ Added the new "null" selector, which mutes the warning when a
selection is empty. It should help to make smoother macros (esp.
the sorting ones).
+ Updated tofu.1.
=== 3.4 (20110911)
+ Added a new "drop" action, which allows to delete the tasks without
prompting first for any confirmation.
+ Select back the previously selected queue when "previous" is given
as argument to the "queue" action -- this should allow to write more
powerful macros.
+ Updated tofu.1
=== 3.3 (20110313)
= Correctly parse the definition names stored in the configuration file.
= Major revision of the English in tofu.1, tofuup.1, and tofututo.7. This
has led to rename "global-editing" the "global-edition" parameter.
(many thanks to Richard Harris!)
=== 3.2 (20110205)
+ Added a proper support for the local charset, specified through the
locale stored in your "LANG" environment variable or through the new
"charset" configuration option. It has some cost regarding to the
execution speed, but it's certainy better to let perl know and handle
correctly the charset you use, especially if you don't use a
"byte-oriented" charset. However, you can still choose to desactivate
it totally (ie. even if your locale specifies an charset) by setting
the "charset" configuration option to "none".
+ Added a mechanism to repair your todo after a crash. This should ensure
the last deleted tasks are actually deleted and the last added ones are
properly initialized.
+ Updated tofu.1
= The default man-pages directory to specify in the configure's help digest is
"<prefix>/man", not "<prefix>/man/man1".
=== 3.1 (20100816)
+ Added a new ride=<n> command. It allows to move the selection relatively
to a task, inserting the selected tasks just before this one.
+ Updated tofu.1 and tofututo.7
=== 3.0 (20100520)
+ Tofu's been heavily rewritten and provides a new interface. The project
directories have disappeared, all of them being merged in a single todo
list (file) you can split as you want using tags. The priority level of
each task is no more defined through built-in categories but merely
infered from its (of course mutable) position in the todo. From now on,
it is also possible to execute several selection/action(s) cycles
on a single command line (glance at the "mono-cycle" option if you prefer
a more traditional behaviour). Here are the UI changes to consider:
Removed commands: crown, feed=, fresh, heat, last, move=, top, pr=,
print, printf=.
Added commands: all, color=, digest, dump, help, jump=, list, next=,
queue=.
Removed options: auto-repair, check-new-tasks, clean-on-move,
edit-on-next, next-on-feed, output-format, safe-feed,
source-auto-stamp.
Added options: mono-cycle, recursive-macro-max, reset-to-main.
+ Added support for macro definitions that allow to create custom commands.
+ Added the new "tofuup" command, which allows to easily update the tofu
todo layout when needed. Use it to convert your current tofu todo lists
if you have some.
+ Updated tofu.1, added tofuup.1 and tofututo.7, which replaces the obsolete
"PLAY" tutorial.
+ Updated and slightly improved the build system. The shebang is now
automatically set into scripts and a new "--perl=</path/to/perl>"
configure option's appeared to fix this if needed.
+ Removed the useless and obsolete "playground.pl" script
=== 2.6 (20100107)
= Don't leave before having stripped the content in delete() when the user
answers "N".
+ Use the editor defined in the EDITOR environment variable as default
editor before set it to "vi".
(thanks to Marcin Mirosław for the suggestion)
= Fix the non-ASCII represented character in the help digest.
(thanks to Marcin Mirosław)
=== 2.5 (20090213)
+ New action "printf=<format>", which allows to customize the output of the
"print" action.
+ New option: "output-format", which redefines the default format used by
the "print" action.
+ Print the ID of tasks in the separator when several are read.
= Fixed mispelling of the "-tutorial" option in PLAY.
(thanks to Corey Beres for the report)
+ Updated tofu.1 and PLAY; from now on the number of each task is documented
as its ID, not as its name or as the task itself (more intuitive).
=== 2.4 (20081107)
+ New options: "clean-on-move", which deletes all of the markers on the
moved tasks before transferring them, and "source-auto-stamp", which
automatically stamps these ones with the name of the source stack (tofu.1
updated).
= Create correctly and quietly the "stack" files when they don't exist.
= Don't increment the value of "next" in the destination stack when deleted
tasks are moved.
= Don't empty the selection when max=<n> is the only selector.
= Don't call the whole stack in the selection when feed is given alone while
the "next-on-feed" option is set to "true".
=== 2.3 (20080919)
+ New "move=<stack>" action, which allows to move tasks from their stack to
the targeted one.
+ Removed the support to allow precisely markers in the 'markers' file. As
a matter of fact, this made the things too much rigid (in particuliar to
reset markers before moving tasks) for a very little gain. However, this
support could come back, let me know if you have a real usage of this one
(ie. other than preventing from typo errors). :)
+ Updated tofu.1 and PLAY.
=== 2.2 (20080823)
= Made stat() to expect an array to get correctly the total of tasks from
readstack().
+ Improved and shrunk (a little bit) argon().
+ Merged atomtrap() and banished() in atomtrap().
+ New options: "edit-on-next", which automatically calls "edit" when "next"
is given, and "next-on-feed", which automatically calls "next" when "feed"
is given.
=== 2.1 (20080707)
+ New install system, based on a Makefile with the classic "./configure;
make; make install [DESTDIR=<root>]" sequency (README updated).
+ New "feed=<string>" action, which allows to quickly define the content
of the next task as <string>.
+ New "top" selector, which refers to the highest task in the stack.
(NOTE: the warning on line 244 which appears during the *first* change in
an already existing stack is normal and inconsequential)
+ New "crown" action, which allows to arbitrary define the value of "top".
+ Updated tofu.1, PLAY and playground.pl.
=== 2.0 (20080519)
+ New storage format: all of the *.txt are now concatenated in a single
"<stack>/content" file after edition. This should save much disk space.
+ New "auto-repair" option, which quietly and automatically reintegrates the
trailing *.txt in the "<stack>/content" file.
+ Updated playground.pl to generate the new format and added a "-root=<dir>"
option to specify an alternative path to "~/.tofu" for stacks.
+ &argon() returns the complete path of the stack.
+ Renamed the configuration settings in a less idle fashion: "color" ->
"use-color", "globedit" -> "global-edition", "checknew" ->
"check-new-tasks".
= Don't attempt to perform any action after &delete() let the selection
empty.
+ Updated tofu.1.
=== 1.2 (20080502)
= Removed the idle "-tar=<command>" option from install.sh.
+ Improved install.sh: added a "-root=<path>" and a "-verbose" options.
+ Mention the PLAY tutorial in tofu.1
+ New "clean" action, which wipes out the markers set on the selected tasks.
+ Added the possibility to specify strictly the allowed markers in
"<stack>/markers" files (tofu.1 updated).
+ Shrunk (a little bit) marksman() and answer().
=== 1.1 (20080418)
+ Improved install.sh: install path is specified directly on the command-
line, and a support for FHS conformance was added (README updated).
+ New "last" selector, which refer to the last task added to the stack.
+ Shrunk order(), help() and mangle().
+ New actions: "heat"/"fresh" which increase/decrease the priority of the
selected tasks by one level.
+ Updated tofu.1 and PLAY.
=== 1.0 (20080329)
+ Check if the new tasks are empty before rewriting the stack. Can be
inhibited with the "checknew" configuration option (tofu.1 updated).
+ Added a default "tutorial" mode to playground.pl, in order to ensure that
all of the examples in the PLAY tutorial match with the content of the
stack.
+ Updated PLAY, made minor fixes and clarifications in tofu.1.
=== 0.6 (20080229)
+ Invoke help() directly in argon().
+ New feature, stat() which allows to print a digest of present stacks.
+ playground.pl generates filled tasks.
+ New "max=<int>" selector, which limits the number of tasks printed.
+ New -<n> selectors.
+ Updated tofu.1
=== 0.5 (20080221)
+ Put in a new answer() function the code used to get user choices from
stdin.
+ Added possibility to read task content before deleting it ("r" answer).
Documented this in tofu.1.
= edit(): don't give up when "Y" is given in the interactive mode.
= Minor fix in PLAY.
=== 0.4 (20080212)
+ First public release.
= prompt before edit when interactively iterate in edit().
= match correctly the one-number-named tasks.
+ Updated the README file.
+ Added the playground.pl random stack generator script and the PLAY
tutorial.
= stamp(): clean the list of markers between each attribution.
=== 0.3 (20080208)
= Don't consider a blank string as "true" in confetti().
= edit() must return "1".
+ Warn (on stderr) when the selection is empty (better for using tofu in
scripts or .bash_profile).
+ Added the "tofu.1" manual and rewrote the help digest.
=== 0.2 (20080205)
= Don't edit the first selected task twice.
= Don't automatically edit the next task.
+ New action: read.
=== 0.1 (20080204)
+ First functionnal and private release.
+ pr, wi, wil, wo, wol, next and individual selectors.
+ edit, print, delete, stamp, erase, [chw]set actions.
+ Configuration file ('~/.tofurc') support.
