[TESTS]

are installed

installed)
[TICKET CLOSED]

when older versions of Acme::MetaSyntactic are already installed
(that's because some themes have been renamed or removed)

[HEY, JAMESBOND IS NOT NEW! IT WAS ADDED IN VERSION 0.07!!]

versions 0.26, 0.38 and 0.55.) This time I turned a simple
list into one with categories.
[ENHANCEMENTS]

instead of "meta --category category theme". (Abigail)

used by a remote list. (Abigail)

- weekdays
[HEY, WEEKDAYS IS NOT NEW! IT WAS ADDED IN VERSION 0.51!!]
- Well, the theme has changed enough that I can consider it
new: it's now a subclass of Acme::MetaSyntactic::Locale
and supports Basque, Catalan, Corsican, Danish, Dutch, English,
Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Latin, Latvian,
Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Welsh and Yiddish
lists (as well as the Pataphysical calendar).
- You've being doing this three times already! What does it mean?
- I must admit that it's the only way I've found to add something
new each week and still manage to have only 100 themes when I
reach version 1.00...
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Each theme now has a theme() method, for reflexion
[TESTS]
- the list validity is now tested for all locales for subclasses
of Acme::MetaSyntactic::Locale (thanks to Gábor Szabó)

[NEW WEEKLY THEME 2005/09/05]
- phonetic
[HEY, PHONETIC IS NOT NEW! IT WAS ADDED IN VERSION 0.08!!]
- Well, the theme has changed enough that I can consider it
new: it's now a subclass of Acme::MetaSyntactic::Locale,
and supports Swahili, French, English, German and Italian
lists (as well as the good old NATO).
[TICKET CLOSED]
- #14276 on rt.cpan.org (multilingual phonetic, with unofficial
Swahili alphabet)

[NEW WEEKLY THEME 2005/06/13]
- simpsons
[HEY, SIMPSONS IS NOT NEW! IT WAS ADDED IN VERSION 0.04!!]
- Sorry, the theme disappeared in version 0.12, when I made
the change to the behaviour-based architecture
- What's the point of having 100% coverage, when things like
this happen?
- Hey, nobody complained until now!
0.25 2005-06-06 BOOK
[NEW WEEKLY THEME 2005/06/06]
- pasta
[BUG FIX]
- magicroundabout had a BUG, which is now fixed (sorry about that)
- The first behaviour class is Acme::MetaSyntactic::List, which
reproduces the previous behaviour of selecting a number
of random items from a list, with no repetition until
the list is exhausted.
- The 17 existing themes have been converted to the new scheme.
[USAGE]
- Acme::MetaSyntactic is a dependency for a least one module!
Praise Bot::MetaSyntactic, which is the core of the meta bot
running on irc://irc.perl.org/perlfr
[INCOMPATIBILITIES]
- the API has changed a little:
+ Acme::MetaSyntactic does not has methods named after the
themes any more
+ The name() method now accept the theme name as its first
parameter
+ name( [ $theme, ] 0 ) now returns the full list of names
[COVERAGE]
- Code coverage is still 100%, but I had to resort to a hack
to achieve this feat.
[NEW BEHAVIOURS]
- Acme::MetaSyntactic::List is the classic "random item from a list"

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users
at the mercy of those companies. By contrast, our General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. The
General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's
software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
You can use it for your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it,
that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of
transferring a copy.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph
1 above, provided that you also do the following:
a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
you changed the files and the date of any change; and
b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either
with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
third parties, at your option).
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice
that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General
Public License.
d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
exchange for a fee.
Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its
derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
the other work under the scope of these terms.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of
it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications derived
from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in such
a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided that
you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and when you
changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an
equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site
such as ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your
modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with

=head1 EXPORTS
Depending on how C<Acme::MetaSyntactic> is used, several functions can
be exported. All of them behave like the following:
=over 4
=item metaname( [ $theme, ] $count )
Return C<$count> items from theme C<$theme>. If no theme is given,
the theme is "default" theme. See below how to change what the default is.

=head2 Use cases
=over 4
=item C<use Acme::MetaSyntactic;>
This exports the C<metaname()> function only.
