* Implemented MagicCollectingArray, which acts like MagicPipingArray except that the result is collected into one big array instead of multiple arrayrefs
* Added the relevant getCollecting*List methods to the Controller class
* Added DESTROY methods to the magic array to prevent DESTROY method calls from being propagated
* Made the debug.dumpVars string more robust when the data hash includes one of the three magic characters '(', '.' or ')'
* Implemented sanitation in COSES so that any keys in the data hash containing one of the three magic characters '(', '.' or ')' will have them transliterated to '[', ':' and ']' respectively (sanitation is optional and can be bypassed)
* Changed the API of the generic output module's 'output' method to take the optional $session argument last, thus simplifying the call sites a lot
* Implemented the 'dispatcher.output' service in several classes to return strings that must be support in variants (required for a good UI in the COSES editor)
* Renamed the Login module's strings so that they use the dot-notation separating significant parts
* Added implicit data to the hash passed to the string expander from the generic output service
* To support the implicit data, added a |hash| stub method to the Session.pm module (and changed the already implemented version in the descendant user service to take this into account)
* To support the implicit data, added |hash| and |getArguments| methods to the Input.pm module (and implemented |getArguments| in the Arguments.pm module)
* To support the implicit data, made the Program.pm module keep track of the executing command
* To support the implicit data, added |hash| and |name| methods to the Program.pm module (actually, |name| was already assumed to exist in other parts of the codebase)
* Corrected trivial semantic mistake in Program.pm's |verifyInput| method
* Added a way to get a user not by username but by a specific address (modifies the user service and the user data source and it's MySQL implementation)
* Implemented GenericOutputs.pm, an implementation of 'dispatcher.output.generic' and 'dataSource.strings.default' for some strings used by other parts of PLIF (currently only supports 'stdout' and 'http' protocols, and minimally at that)
* Implemented Login.pm, a helper module that implements user authentication, user creation and the sending of a new password if it is forgotten, a utility method |hasRight| to ensure that the authenticated user has a particular right (resulting in a message if not), and various routines to support all this.
* added addUserGroup and removeUserGroup to the data source interface for users
* added some comments
* changed many double quotes |"| to single quotes |'| where double quotes were not needed
* implemented the remaining methods for the MySQL implementation of the user data source
* added a mode flag to user fields (idea from MattyT) so that fields can be disabled, hidden, etc
* Started implementing the MySQL version of the user data source (completed so far: database creation and a few of the SELECT calls)
* Changed the user property 'disabled' to 'mode' to enable extensibility
* Fix a potential bug with changing addresses (make sure the fake session object doesn't update the database -- this is an incomplete solution so far, fields still have the bug)
* Moving 'typeData' around in the order of the user field constructor arguments to match the User data source's 'getField*' methods so that, again, they map more directly
* Renaming the 'getFieldFrom*' methods to 'getFieldBy*' to be consistent with 'getUserBy*'
* Implemented UserFieldFactory.pm
* Implemented Passwords.pm
* Added a comment to DataSource/User.pm explaining how (typically) to search for a username
* Fleshed out the DataSource/User.pm API by adding some schema management methods
* Added notes on which fields in the database schema should be keys
* Added comment to Service/User.pm noting the difference between Objects, Services, and Service Instances
* Changed 'user.field.factory' to 'user.fieldFactory' to prevent a namespace collision with 'user.field.(type)'
* Calling 'insertField' in one case which I missed when adding the method
* Implemented 'hash', 'joinGroup', 'invalidateRights', 'writeProperties' and 'writeGroups'
* Changed Service/UserField.pm so that one user field class can be used for any category
* Added a 'username' convenience method and implemented 'write'
* Added a comment to Service/UserFieldFactory.pm explaining how it should work
* Removed the 'user.field.generic.generic' field implementation, replaced it with a simpler 'user.field.string' implementation
Added some comments to various user-related files.
Factored out some code that started becoming common when inserting fields in Service/User.pm.
Added code to deal with adding new contact details.
Added code to support removing fields from a user.
In addition to the code that actually does stuff, I still need to add a MySQL implementation of the data source and the Field class and its associated Factory.
Also added Passwords.pm (stubs for a password generator and encryptor) and made Session objects store a pointer to the controller object.
Added an optimisation to Controller.pm so that service names will be hashed once accessed. This should make multiple accesses of the same service a lot quicker. To go with this I added some diagnostics code (on exit) and moved the code around a little bit.
Fixed a minor transgression of the coding style guidelines in Magic*Array.pm. :-)
Neatened up the code in Output.pm.
Made it so Session objects assume they have an 'app' property, and so don't need to be passed $app all the time. (Sessions are objects now.)
Added an unimplemented getAddress() method to the Session class.
