2008-12-08 Diego M. Zamboni <zamboni@users.sourceforge.net> * grabcartoons.pl: Version 2.4 * modules/00grabcartoons_output.pl (print_footer): Added version number to footer. 2008-12-05 Diego Zamboni <zamboni@users.sourceforge.net> * grabcartoons.pl: Fixed normalization bug that would result in possible duplicate comics when using --random. 2008-12-05 Diego Zamboni <zamboni@users.sourceforge.net> * grabcartoons/grabcartoons.pl: Added option to request random comics to be selected. The option takes a numeric argument: --random n, will choose n comics at random (without repetition) and fetch them. If any other comics are explicitely requested, the random ones will be output after them (and will not include any of the explicitely-requested ones). * grabcartoons/modules/goblins.pl, grabcartoons/modules/schlock_mercenary.pl: Modified modules that use SubstOnRegexResult for the new syntax (array of arrays) * grabcartoons/modules/savage_chickens.pl: Added module for http://savagechickens.com. * grabcartoons/README, grabcartoons/grabcartoons.pl: Modified SubstOnRegexResult to be an array of arrays, to allow for multiple replacements to be done in sequence. * grabcartoons/modules/20templates.pl: Fixed double slash in gocomics.com template. * modules/20templates.pl: Fixed double slash in gocomics.com template. * modules/ffn.pl: Added NoShowTitle. 2008-12-04 Diego Zamboni <zamboni@users.sourceforge.net> * grabcartoons/README, grabcartoons/grabcartoons.pl: Updated documentation. 2008-12-04 Diego Zamboni <zamboni@users.sourceforge.net> * grabcartoons/grabcartoons.pl: Added ~/.grabcartoons/modules/ to the list of module directories, for consistency. I left ~/.grabcartoons/ for backward compatibility. 2008-12-04 Diego Zamboni <zamboni@users.sourceforge.net> * grabcartoons/grabcartoons.pl: Added ability to specify template-based comics without the need for a pre-written module, using the form "template:comic title" as the specification of the comic. 2008-12-04 Diego Zamboni <zamboni@users.sourceforge.net> * Added --templates option, to produce a list of existing templates. Also added human-readable descriptions to the template definitions, which are used by the --templates option. 2008-12-03 Benjamin Kuperman <kuperman@usesrs.sourceforge.net> * modules/alien_loves_predator.pl: Fixed to prepend the base URL. 2008-12-03 Diego M. Zamboni <zamboni@users.sourceforge.net> * modules/20templates.pl: Added a template for gocomics.com. * Modified all the gocomics.com modules to use the new template. * modules/schlock_mercenary.pl: Modified to make use of Start/EndRegex. * grabcartoons.pl (get_comic): Added an optional third element to SubstOnRegexResult that indicates whether a global search-and-replace (/g) should be done. By default a single search-and-replace is performed. 2008-12-02 Diego M. Zamboni <zamboni@users.sourceforge.net> * grabcartoons.pl: Added templates! Now common sites (e.g. comics.com) can be defined as a template, and comics from those sites can be easily added simply by specifying their name and the template. See modules/20templates.pl for the existing templates. * grabcartoons.pl (get_comic): Added new StartRegex and EndRegex attributes, to allow capturing a region of lines. Also added the InclusiveCapture attribute to define whether the first/last lines of the region should be included in the capture. * modules/getfuzzy.pl, modules/monty.pl, modules/herman.pl, modules/offthemark.pl, modules/rose_is_rose.pl, modules/pearls.pl: modified to use the new comics.com_big or comics.com_small templates. * modules/goblins.pl: Rewrote to make use of new Start/EndRegex attributes. * modules/sleep_deprivation_theatre.pl: Removed because the site is "offline until further notice". * modules/wondermark.pl: Modified for changes in the page, also to get the alt and title attributes. * modules/user_friendly.pl: Reverted to small images - the big ones have nag strips sometimes. * modules/shithappens.pl: Fixed for changes in the page. 2008-11-09 Benjamin Kuperman <kuperman@users.sourceforge.net> * modules/rose_is_rose.pl: Updated to handle new page/site
