* v1.26, Monday, June 19, 2006

   Small endian fix for Intel (you must upgrade to Mac-Carbon-0.75 if using
   Intel).

   Add app_process() method to return the application_process object from
   System Events (convenience method).

   Some fixes for more accurate type resolution.

   Improved documentation and eliminated a spurious warning.

* v1.25, Monday, May 15, 2005

   Fix up some of recent fixes in Mac::AETE::App, which broke certain older apps
   OSAXes.

   Fix gluemac to get proper app path when recreating glues.

   Add new browsers_open_window example.

* v1.24, Sunday, May 14, 2005

   Rewrite Mac::AETE::App to use OSAGetAppTerminology for retrieving aete data.
   Requires update to Mac::Carbon 0.74 (which includes Mac::OSA 1.05).

   Fix some older bugs with legacy apps which have no app signature.

* v1.23, Saturday, February 19, 2005

   Make default MODE kAECanSwitchLayer instead of kAECanInteract | kAECanSwitchLayer,
   as this appears to be the default that AppleScript uses.

   Give proper warnings for when files to be glue'd do not exist.  (Kim Helliwell, Ken Williams)

   Make a test fail if scripting additions or dialect were not created.  (Chris Devers)

* v1.22, Monday, December 6, 2004

   local()ize $MacPerl::Target in Mac::Glue::Common. (Alan Olsen)

   Fix bundle targetting under Jaguar. (Ken Williams)

* v1.21, Tuesday, June 8, 2004

   Make launching work better for bundles. (wren argetlahm)

   Minor little fixes.

   No longer create glue for DiskImageMounter (wasn't really useful,
   and often failed).

* v1.20, Tuesday, May 19, 2004

   Added more robust handling of bundle ID targetting, including making it
   the default (requires Mac::AppleEvents::Simple 1.13); make SWITCH and
   launch() work with bundle ID targets.

   Allow creation of glues for non-scriptable apps (which can still
   support a limited vocabulary, such as open()).

   Create glues for Image Events.app and DiskImageMounter.app by default,
   in addition to System Events.app.

   Allow use of glue events with names like Can, Obj, Prop, Launch, Version.

   Finally ported glueedit to Mac OS X, which allows modification of glues.


* v1.19, Tuesday, March 23, 2004

   Made arrayrefs work better in some cases, e.g.:
   
   	$glue->obj(file => \@files)->open;

* v1.18, Sunday, March 21, 2004

   Cleaned up.

* v1.17, Wednesday, February 18, 2004

   Added option to target by PID, explicit option to target by bundle ID;
   cleaned up docs. (has)

   Only allow data type to be set to typeUnicodeText if Encode is available.

   Don't include BOM in UTF-16 data (use big-endian instead).  (Bill Birkett)

   Fix documentation on ERRORS handler, and handling of error description.
   Add error code (e.g., "errAEDescNotFound").  Add an optional default
   ERRORS handler (setting it to a value of 1).

   Added typeLongDateTime (convert to/from Mac OS); added Time::Epoch.
   (Lars Eggert)

   Make AE records guess better at types.

   Export %MacErrors in addition to $MacError.

   No longer use Mac::Path::Util; we only used the module to convert from Unix
   to Mac paths, and we sucked those few lines we needed from it into
   Mac::Files.

   Fix incorrect printing of some debugging information when debugging was not on.

   Fix some spurious warnings.

   Make folder class work like file in %AE_PUT.

   Added getdata() method to fetch the data in a returned AEObjDesc (see docs).


* v1.16, Wednesday, November 19, 2003

   There's a bug in perl 5.8.0-5.8.2 whereby -- depending on how your perl
   is compiled -- the value of $^E (see the Mac::Glue docs for details)
   is modified when accessed.  This patch helps minimize the effect, so
   at least the value is reliable right after a Mac::Glue event call.
   This change makes the value of $^E more reliable even without the bug
   in perl.

   The problem still exists in using Mac::Errors and probably other code.
   It will be fixed in perl 5.8.3 and later.  Here's a patch to your perl
   if you want to fix it locally:
   
   http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/85393


* v1.15, Tuesday, November 18, 2003

   Make "set" event look at direct object's type instead of defaulting
   to guessing between plain numeric/text (should be less need for
   param_type() now).

   Make guesses for numeric/text also check for floats.

   Where there are multiple types for something, get the first one we
   know how to deal with.

   Add more numeric types.

   Fix typeUnicodeText to automatically encode text to UTF-16 as
   expexted (if Encode module is available).

* v1.14, Friday, October 31, 2003

   Added support for remote Apple events under Mac OS X.  Example:

	my $glue = Mac::Glue->new('Finder',
	    eppc => 'Finder', 'mac.example.com'
	);

   Fixed proper preparation of the data with the right data type when using
   param_type().

* v1.13, September 2, 2003

   Removed Memoize.  The speed gains were exceptionally modest, and some
   bugs popped up resulting from adding it.  It could be added back at
   some point, but it would need to be done more carefully, and right
   now the benefits don't justify the cost in time to get it done properly.

   Cleanup/bug fixes for Mac::AETE::App in finding/opening applications
   and fetching the application names.

   Added a VERSION key to the glues (the version of the application),
   and a version() method.

   Added -c flag to gluemac to check to see if application version matches
   the versions stored in the installed glues ($glue->version eq
   $glue->{VERSION}).

   Added -r flag to gluemac to re-create installed application glues
   (with -c, only re-creates those with differing versions).  It's
   recommended that users run gluemac -r to update glues with new
   VERSION key and fixed APPNAME key.

* v1.12, August 27, 2003

   Added Memoize to speed up some methods and functions.

   Changed $ENV{MACGLUEDIR} to $MACGLUEDIR.  $ENV{MACGLUEDIR} will still
   initialize $MACGLUEDIR, but in some cases, %ENV gets wiped, so we don't
   want to rely on it.  (Lloyd Butler)

   Even if you get a reply back in Mac::AETE::App, that doesn't mean the
   data is good, so do a check on it and give a better error message.
   (Ian Cabell)

   Cleaned up ex/address_book.

   Added ex/itunes.

* v1.11, May 22, 2003

   Added super-cool feature for calling event methods on object
   specifier record objects (like $track->play).  See
   "Shortcuts for object specifier records" in the docs for
   more information.

   Updated some of the examples to use this new feature.

   Read-only flag in PODs was reversed.  It is recommended to re-create
   all your glues, or just realize that "read-only" means it is writable,
   and no note means it is read-only, in your old docs.  Or change them
   all by hand.

   Fixed minor paths bug in call to Mac::Path::Util.  Require
   more recent version of said module.

   Added t/pod.t.


* v1.10, May 13, 2003

   Major update for Mac OS X support.

   Added various path handling/coercion for Mac OS X.

   Added support for making glues on Mac OS X, with bundles and apps
   without creator IDs.

   Added support for targetting apps without creator IDs (they are
   launched, then targetted by PSN).

   Use $MacError instead of $^E ($^E still works in MacPerl scripts).

   Added APPNAME key to glue objects, with name of the application.

   Added fun debugging junk with "_print_aes" object hash key.

   Refactored some code for scripts, moved out to Mac::Glue::Common.

   Command-line-ized the "droplets" in scripts/.

   Renamed and reorganized example scripts in ex/.
   

* v1.02, May 7, 2002

   Skip directories when opening dialect/OSAX glues.


* v1.01, January 15, 2002

   Clean up a bit for 5.6.

   Add ADDRESS method.

   Add checking for enumerators and classes.

   Make error handler work as hashref parameter list.

   Change license to be that of Perl.


* v1.00, September 12, 2000

   Added error handling via ERRORS parameter / method.

   General cleanup, additional examples.


* v0.58, November 16, 1999

   Change all of the classes to have Mac:: at the beginning of them
   (except for ones that originate elsewhere, like AEDesc, et al).

   Added Mac::AEParamType and param_type.

   If a parameter expects an AE object specifier record, and is not passed
   one, then it guesses the type and sets it to either typeChar or
   typeInteger.

   Made the conversion of keys into English names recursive with lists,
   in addition to records (i.e., lists can contain multiple records).


* v0.57, November 2, 1999

   Added conversion of keys in returned records back into the "English"
   names.

   Records containing "class" parameter are coerced into descriptors
   of that class (i.e., { name => 'foo', class => 'disk' }).

   Added support for events over TCP/IP (Mac OS 9 required).

   Note: if Keychain Access is used in Mac OS 9, the login() method may
   no longer be required for accessing of remote machines.

   Fixed bug in can() method; also changed how can() calls AUTOLOAD().

   Added code for experimental callback stuff, undocumented,
   subject to change, and probably does not even work.

   Changed _get_name to _get_id, created new _get_name.

   Updated dialect creation code for Mac OS 9 (aeut is now stored in
   the AppleScript extension instead of a dialect file, but for
   Mac::Glue is still stored in the dialects folder.  Instead
   of being called English, it will likely be called AppleScript.
   You should delete (or archive) old dialect glues manually.


* v0.56, September 10, 1999

   If plural class is used (i.e., files for file), and the following
   value is not an AE* object, then it will become "every 'class'".
   (Jeff Lowrey)

   Added more documentation about using AEObjDesc objects.  (Jeff Lowrey)


* v0.55, September 2, 1999

   Added extra arguments to new() to accept alternate targets.  PPC ports,
   PSNs, and paths are explicitly accepted now.  (Paths are first launched,
   then the PSN is found ... aliases won't work properly as paths.)

   Added login() class method to tell MacPerl to try logging in
   with specified username and password.  Requires "Login As"
   OSAX from the GTQ Scripting Library.


* v0.51, September 1, 1999

   Changed ordering of search in _find_event.

   Fixed doc problems in Mac::AETE::Format::Glue: inheritance
   classes are named, and optional parameters are properly
   denoted.


* v0.50, July 12, 1999

   Added g* constants in addition to glue* constants.  Use whichever
   you like, but I will use g* for everything.  If you don't want the
   g* constants, because they conflict with something, use the
   ":long" and ":longall" import tags instead of ":glue" and ":all".

   Gone to beta!  Woo!


* v0.31, June 22, 1999

   Fixed bug that only found class names instead of class and property
   names in creation of object specifier records.

   Fixed bug which changed directories on initialization, and didn't change
   it back.

   Allow case-insensitive parameter names.


* v0.30, June 16, 1999

   Changed function names: glueInsertion() is now location(),
   glueRange() is now range().

   Added whose() function.

   Added can() method which correctly finds available events.

   Made special parameters, formerly with leading underscore and lowercase,
   to all uppercase with no underscore (i.e., _retobj is now RETOBJ).

   Added "of" and "in" as synonyms for "property" in obj() method calls.

   Put AEObjDesc back in!  Will use in the future, maybe, to use objects
   as targets for events.

   Return all descriptors from obj() and prop(), and all objects
   returned from events, as AEObjDesc objects.

   Added glueTrue and glueFalse constants.

   Tried again to suppress warnings during initial scripting additions and
   dialect creation.

   Tons of internal cleaning up.


* v0.26, June 7, 1999

   Made choice of serializer for glue more intelligent: FreezeThaw
   automatically picked for CFM68K, Storable for PPC.

   Updated Mac::AppleEvents and Mac::Memory, fixed more bugs and
   added constants.  Fixed bug in AutoSplit.

   Added glueInsertion(), glueRange(), and glueNull().

   Completely removed AEObjDesc package, which existed to support
   destruction of descriptors.  Use global hash now to keep track
   of descriptors to destroy (Mac::AppleEvents::Simple).  So
   all descriptors returned from obj() and prop() and others are
   AEDesc objects.

   Changed ordering of items in creating object specifiers in
   _do_obj to match AppleScript, so comparing to Capture AE
   output would be easier.

   Put %AE_PUT back in Mac::Glue and left %AE_GET in
   Mac::AppleEvents::Simple.

   Switched DOBJ => { PARAM1 => DATA1 } to DOBJ => PARAM1 => DATA1
   in event calls.

   Always default to wait for reply and no timeout if unspecified by user.

   Return useful errors in $^E.

   Accept and return nested arrays/lists and hashes/records.

   Call events and pass classes / properties case-insensitively.

   Other miscellaneous changes.  Some cleaning up.


* v0.25, May 30, 1999

   Add serializer option.

   Updates to Mac::Memory and Mac::AppleEvents and Mac::AppleEvents::Simple.

   Added constants for absolute and relative positions.

   Added enum().

   Put o() and p() back as obj() and prop().

   Other miscellaneous changes.  Lots of cleaning up.


* v0.20, May 22, 1999

   Complete rewrite.  Too many changes to bother mentioning, because
   I am lazy.


* v0.09, October 13, 1998

   Added ability to use properties.  These are called with the p() method:

      $obj->get( $obj->p('label_index', item => 'HD') );

   which is equivalent to:

      $obj->get( $obj->o(property => 'label_index', item => 'HD') );


* v0.08, October 10, 1998

   Unreleased.

   Significant cleanup of module, in large part unfinished changes from
   last version.

   No longer doing error checking for whether lists are allowed or objects
   are allowed, because these are sometimes wrong or undetectable.  Also,
   will not raise exception on a missing required parameter, but will warn
   if -w is on.

   obj_form is exported from the glue modules, and all of the functions
   and constant from Mac::AppleEvents can be imported from a glue module
   with the ":all" tag:

      use Mac::Glue::SomeApp qw(:all);


* v0.07, September 30, 1998

   More documentation and bugfixes.  Having serious problems with
   AEObjDesc::DESTROY.


* v0.06, September 29, 1998

   Whole bunches of changes.  Note that glues made under 0.05 no longer work.
