Developer Release 2.14a

I've put together a developer release 2.14a which contains
all the recent 
updates.  

   http://tt2.org/dow
nload.html#devel

This closes all 30-something bugs listed in http://rt.cpan.org/ and 
applies all the outstanding patches that I know about and
haven't 
explicitly rejected, forgotten about or lost (apart from
one, I think, 
that was posted to the list today).

If all goes well this will become the next stable version
2.15.  

You'll notice that the GD, DBI and XML plugins and the Latex
filters
are missing.  I'm moving them out of the core into separate
distributions
which will be following along soon.

If you've submitted a patch that isn't on the list below or
otherwise
resolved then please get in touch.

Enjoy!
A

DEVELOPER RELEASE ##

Stash
-----

* Activated a patch in Template::Stash from Stephen Howard
which adds
  code for the full set of fallbacks for dot ops called
against
  objects which don't implement the specific method.  For
example 
  [% hashobj.vmethod %] [% listobj.2 %] and [%
listobj.vmethod %] now 
  all work with the Perl Template::Stash.  Added code to the
XS Stash 
  to do the same and updated tests.

  http://template-toolkit.org/pipermail/t
emplates/2003-December/005417.html

* Added full support for tied hashes and tied lists in the
XS Stash.
  Added some further tests to make sure it's all working as
expected.

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2006-January/00826
6.html

* Applied path from Slaven Rezic to Template::Stash::XS to
check
  return code in tt_fetch_item() in a way which plays nicely
with tied
  hashes.

  http:/
/rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=7830

* Changed Template::Stash and Template::Stash::XS to
evaluate list
  vmethods in lvalues.

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2006-January/00819
8.html

* Changed Template::Stash to be a little more strict about
what it
  considers a failed method call.  This allows exception
thrown within
  called methods to be propagated correctly rather than
being ignored
  as undefined method.  Thanks to Dave Howorth for reporting
the
  problem and providing a fix.  Also ported to the
Template::Stash::XS
  module.

* Removed redundant performance profiling code from
  Template::Stash::XS.  Must check with Doug that this is OK
and he's
  not still using it...

Virtual Methods
---------------

* Added the scalar.remove, scalar.substr, hash.delete,
hash.items,
  hash.pairs, list.import and list.hash virtual methods.

* Changed the scalar.replace method to work properly with
back
  references ($1, $2, etc) by incorporating ideas, code and
tests from
  Nik Clayton, Paul Seamon, Sergey Martynoff, Josh Rosenbaum
and
  others.

306.html
  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2006-February/008
326.html

* Changed list.push and list.unshift to accept multiple
arguments,
  thanks to Bill Moseley.

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2006-January/00829
4.html

* Fixed the split scalar virtual method which wasn't
accepting the
  second argument (limit) correctly.  Thanks to Josh
Rosenbaum for
  pointing out the problem.

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2005-October/00798
2.html

* Documented the fact that hash.list is going to change in
the future,
  recommending people switch to hash.pairs.

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2006-January/00825
6.html
  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2006-February/008
312.html

* Added the global option to the 'match' scalar virtual
method.

* Changed $element to $component in Template::Context to fix
callers
  bug, thanks to Andy Maas who identified the problem and
found the
  solution:

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2004-December/007
020.html

* Changed the sort and nsort list virtual methods to always
return
  references to lists, avoiding any ambiguity in return
results.

* Changed the hash.defined method to do the same thing as
  scalar.defined when called without arguments.  Added
list.defined to
  do the same thing as hash.defined.

  http:/
/rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=9094

* Moved all the tests into t/vmethods/*

Plugins
-------

* Added the $Template::Plugins::PLUGIN_BASE package variable
to define
  the default 'Template::Plugin' value for the PLUGIN_BASE
option.  By
  clearing this value before calling the Template new()
constructor,
  you can avoid having Template::Plugin added to the
PLUGIN_BASE by
  default.  Also changed PLUGINS search to look for lower
case plugin
  name as well as case-specific name.  Thanks yet again Josh
for
  addressing this issue.

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2006-January/00822
5.html

* Applied a single character patch from Lubomir Host which
fixes the 
  user attribute in Template::Plugin::File.

* Added the Math Plugin to MANIFEST.

* Changed the URL plugin to ignore parameters that are unset
(e.g. 
  defined but zero length)

* Applied two patches to the Image plugin from Bill Moseley
to escape
  attributes in the tag() method and to provide the 'file'
options.
  Also adds proper documentation for the 'root' option.

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2005-November/008
086.html
  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2005-December/008
189.html

* Added the $JOINT package variable to Template::Plugin::URL
to 
  provide a work-around for the URL plugin which incorrectly
(as
  we now know) encodes '&' as '&amp;'

  http
://rt.cpan.org//Ticket/Display.html?id=11551
  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2005-December/008
158.html

* Added substr() method to the String plugin, as suggested
here:

  http:/
/rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2619

* Moved all XML plugins and related tests into a separate
Template-XML
  distribution.

* Moved DBI plugin and tests into Template-DBI distribution.

* Moved GD plugins and tests into Template-GD distribution.

Filters
-------

* Applied a patch to the truncate() filter from
"Ashley" which 
  adds a second argument.

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2005-December/008
145.html

* Fixed a bug in the same truncate() filter to stop it from
truncating
  strings that are exactly as long as the limit (change
'<' to '<='),
  thanks to Nicholas at oxhoej.dk.

  http:/
/rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8911

* Added "use locale" to Template::Filters to
enable locale-specific
  filters.

  http:/
/rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=9094
  http:/
/rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5695

* Updated documentation to reflect the fact that the html
filter also
  escapes " as &quot; Thanks to Geoff Richards for
reporting it.

* Moved Latex filters into Template-Latex distribution.

ttree
-----

* Applied patch from Yuri Pimenov to prevent ttree from
raising a 
  warning when the --depend_debug option is used.

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2005-May/007400.html

* Applied a patch to ttree from Slaven Rezic which fixes the
arguments
  passed to mkpath.

  http
://rt.cpan.org//Ticket/Display.html?id=14216

* Applied a patch to ttree from Mike Schilli to prevent it
from going
  into an infinite loop on encountering a directory called
"0"

  http
s://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=14905

* Fixed configuration section to not prompt "Do you
want me to create
  a sample .ttreerc file?" if the -h/--help options are
specified, 
  thanks to Slaven Rezic for reporting the problem.

  http:/
/rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4180

Miscellaneous
-------------

* Added code to Makefile.PL to detect
$ENV to 
  accept all defaults.  Thanks to KANE.

  http:
//rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=14613

* Removed vStrings from Template:ocument.
 Thanks to Dave Cross for
  reporting the problem.

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2005-April/007357.ht

* Applied a patch from Barrie Slaymaker which corrects a bug
in the
  Template::Parser line counting when using chomp flags.

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2005-December/008
157.html

* Applied a patch from Jess Robinson to move the
Template::Provider
  check for file freshness into a separate method, in order
to 
  play nicely with his Template::Provider:BI
module.

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2005-December/008
143.html

* Fixed the regex matching relative paths in
Template::Provider, thanks
  to Josh Rosenbaum 

  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2005-January/00714
1.html

* Applied a patch to Template::Provider to prevent a
misleading error
  message, thanks to Slaven Rezic.

  http:/
/rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5327

* Added an eval wrapper around mkpath() in
Template::Provider to handle
  errors more nicely.

* Numerous documentation fixes.
