345 This release is a major overhaul aimed to fix the previous design flaws
346 and clean up the codebase. Note that 2.2.0 breaks compatibility with
347 the earlier versions of clive.
349 Most users will not notice much differences after upgrading to 2.2.0
350 but those users who have used clive for anything more than "clive URL"
351 should read the changes carefully. The summary of changes section
352 includes more detailed changes that is recommended reading for all
353 users and maintainers.
355 2.2.0 changes the license from ISC to GPLv3. The license was last
356 changed in 2.1.0 to ISC but has now been reverted back to GPLv3 after
357 some further consideration.
359 Config::Tiny has been replaced with Getopt::ArgvFile. The latter had
360 some advantages over Config::Tiny that lead to the switch. For example,
361 instead of trying to memorize the (often confusing) config variable
362 names, users can now use command line options in the config file.
364 This also means that everytime a new feature is added to the program,
365 we are no longer required to modify the code responsible for parsing
366 the config file. Using Getopt::ArgvFile also required adding only one
367 line of code to the project whereas Config::Tiny required several.
369 cache no longer reads by default. This means that --cache-read option
370 must be invoked for clive to read previously stored video records
371 from the cache. The change was made after seeing how most users found
372 the reading from cache too confusing and frequently reported expired
373 link errors such as HTTP 403 as bugs even though the behaviour was
374 documented in the manual page. DAERTM?
376 --emit-csv now outputs very few details about the videos. Only those
377 fields that are known to be any use are printed out.
379 2.2.0 also removes a number of less used features that have lingered
380 in the project since the 1.x. Most of these features were never
381 requested and have only been burdening the program codebase since
384 Part time hackers and/or developers will notice that clive now follows
385 a new OO design -- as well as Perl5 allows it. While there are still
386 some considerations regarding the design and limitations that could not
387 quite be ported from C++ used in cclive, WYSIWYG.
389 Package/port maintainers will want to read the README file. The previously
390 used GNU Makefile is no longer used and clive installation now depends on
391 ExtUtils::MakeMaker instead.
396 User-visible changes:
