VideoGuide Blog

Yeasterday I released a new version of IMDB::Film where added new features like retrieving AKA info, Trivia and Goofs. But today I found a new ticket about bugs in this version! I spent half a day to fix them. Now IMDB::Film 0.17 is ready to use! Feel free to get it and test.

I really don’t have a time to bring up VideoGuide. Its last version was released more than one year ago. It has a lot of bugs and is needed to modify main functionality.
I already started to develop a new version which is based on Embperl::Object. It’ll be much better But again I have a couple another interesting projects and of course my permanent work tasks. But I hope I’ll continue develop VideoGuide soon.

Today I released a new version of IMDB::Film in CPAN. The reason was a serious bug related with getting list of writers (thanks to Brano Gerzo for bugreport). Instead of return a writer ID the method returna just number 1. I modified a regexp to get a correct value.
Also, I fixed a bug with including in the result list an item ‘more’ if the link ‘more’ presents in the writer section of the IMDB page.

P. S. Happy New Year everyone!

I released a new version of IMDB::Film last week. The reason was presence a bug in the functionality related with cache (many thanks to Brano Gerzo). The other changes are:

• added possibility to specify a path for cached data
• added new statuses to separate objects retrieved from internet, cache or file
• added test to check cache functionality
• described options which can be passed to the object constructor

Last week I moved VideoGuide source code from CVS repository to Subversion. It’s appallingly than Sourceforge offers Subversion! Because any way you slice it Subversion is much better than CVS. One of Subversion advantage, which very useful for me, is a possibility to work over HTTPS. And this saves a lot of time if you access Interner via proxy server. Anyway, thanks a lot to Sourceforge for Subversion.
Now to checkout VideoGuide project run following:

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/videoguide videoguide

I have to reorganize the repository according to Subversion recommendations. Also, I promise that I’ll commit a wotk version of VideoGuide and setup demo for it!
