Motivation

Ето некогда не работает!!!

- Uttered by a Russian spy in
"The Illustrated History of the Atom Bomb"

Current Stable (and obsolete) version: 1.0

1.0 (the old release) is out there somewhere. You can get it from the project page. (It's in the downloads section, not in CVS as far as I can remember.)

1.0 had one bug: It didn't specify character set, and the HTML template it used was hard-coded... Thus, HTML spewer sent forth UTF characters and the document thought it was using Latin-1. 1.1 uses correct headers in its default template.

Current development version: 1.1

1.0 works. 1.1 doesn't work fully, but has the ItWorksForMe™ Seal of Approval.

1.0 is fairly interesting because it implemented its gap-finding for HTML tables using its own methods. It was also pretty much unreadable, after several months of inactivity I needed a magnifying glass to make any sense of it. I gave up on being too smart - 1.1 uses CPAN module for this stuff, and has probably much better documentation...

Coming new cool features

Schedulist 1.1 is a Major Rewrite. It includes:

• Structure reconsiderations; You can actually look at the code and live to tell the tale. For example, I don't do any of those hideous loop-figures-variable-name assignments there, and the data structures are object-oriented.
• The code will be commented and documented better. I had to reread that code, and I noticed why people complain about badly commented code... =)
• "Table dumping" modules are supported - meaning it's easier to add new methods to dump the results in various forms. HTML Table and List formats are supported, as is (check this out) TeX output format for those who don't believe in Paperless Office. =)
• Template support, via Website Meta Language, either in raw Perl or via easy-to-use new tags.
• By Popular Request, the "day" tags are gone, and <column name="..."> is used instead. Day tags are still supported for historical reasons.
