Revised changelog to reflect changes since r105.
Included below is a summary of changes committed in the merge of the wrappers branch (r177): Refactored wrappers, with the following aims: + New command line convention, as follows: 1st form: input files specified <wrapper> [wrapper_arg...] input_files... [pandoc_option...] 2nd form: using STDIN, no input file is specified <wrapper> [wrapper_arg...] -- [pandoc_option...] 3rd form: input files specified, optional -- <wrapper> [wrapper_arg...] input_files... -- [pandoc_option...] - All wrappers except 'html2markdown' and 'latex2markdown' should accept multiple filenames. - Use getopts shell builtin for portable option parsing. + Remove code duplication and provide consistency across command line interface. + Allow white space in filenames, especially suitable for Mac OSX users + Improve html2markdown's web grabber code, making it more robust, configurable and verbose. - new function 'grab_url_with' as the wrapper to web grabbers. - 'grab_url_with' can report errors if the grabber fails. - new command line option 'n' to avoid automatic web grabbing. - new command line option 'g' which explicitly selects a grabber and optionally specifies new options for the selected grabber. Possible use cases: # Just use curl. html2markdown -g 'curl' # Use wget by setting timeout to 10 seconds and limit retries to 2. html2markdown -g 'wget --timeout=10 --tries=2' + Add code to html2markdown that tries to determine the character encoding of an HTML file, by parsing the "Content-type" meta tag. - if the encoding can't be determined, then if the content is local, the local encoding is used; if it comes from a URL, UTF-8 is used by default. - if input is from stdin, don't try to determine character encoding. - add a new option '-e' to specify encoding. + Better warning messages: - print warning if iconv not available - in markdown2latex, print only relevant parts of log when pdflatex returns an error condition - in markdown2latex, when 'ucs.sty' is not found, print message telling where to find the 'unicode' package. + Remove PANDOC_OPTS environment variable functionality. It is no longer necessary, now that pandoc options may be specified on the command line. + Add tests for wrappers' processing of command line arguments: - new file 'testwrapper.in' to test the parsing code under 'bash', 'dash', 'ksh' and 'zsh' in POSIX mode. - new makefile target 'test-wrappers' to run 'testwrapper' + Document changes in revisions to wrapper syntax in README and man pages. git-svn-id: https://pandoc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@178 788f1e2b-df1e-0410-8736-df70ead52e1b
