v0.3.2 (18-Mar-2017)
- Use the block form for FFI::MemoryPointer in the error message helper function. Thanks go to Ethan Brown for the suggestion.
- Fixed a potential bug in the helper module, which was also renamed to help prevent any name collisions.
- Added the win32-taskscheduler.rb file for convenience.
- Added the configure_settings method.
- Added the configure_registration_info method.
- Added the description and description= aliases for comments.
- Added the author and author= aliases for creator.
- Some internal cleanup, moving common code to private methods.
- Rakefile now assumes Rubygems 2.0 or later for tasks.
- Gemspec cleanup, updated home page, removed old rubyforge_project reference.
- This gem is now signed.
v0.3.1 (6-Jul-2014)
- Added FFI as a dependency. Thanks go to Maxime Lapointe for the spot.
- Some updates to the win_error helper method. Thanks go to Ethan J. Brown for the suggestions.
v0.3.0 (15-Jan-2014)
- Rewritten to use Win32OLE instead of using wrapping the C API. Benefits include working on Windows Vista or later, and working with JRuby.
- Modified the constructor to accept 3rd and 4th arguments. These indicate which folder to use, and whether or not to create it if it doesn't exist.
- The TaskScheduler#save method is now no longer necessary. It is retained for backwards compatibility, but will raise a deprecation warning. In this version simply calling TaskScheduler#activate will implement the task.
- Added support for the AT_SYSTEMSTART, AT_LOGON and ON_IDLE trigger types.
- Now requires the structured_warnings gem.
- Removed the doc directory and separate documentation file. Everything is inlined now. There's still an example under the "examples" directory, too.
- Added test-unit, rake, and win32-security as development dependencies. These are needed for testing only.
v0.2.2(29-Feb-2012)
- Moved some include statements inside the TaskScheduler class to avoid polluting Object. Thanks go to Josh Cooper for the spot and patch.
- Minor formatting tweaks to silence 1.9 warnings.
v0.2.1 (8-Oct-2011)
- Fixed a bug that would not allow task to run as SYSTEM. Thanks go to Josh cooper for the spot and patch.
- Fixed a bug in new_work_item that would cause it to crash if you tried to create a work item that already existed. An error is now raised instead. Thanks go to Pete Higgins for the spot.
- The set_trigger and trigger= methods now internally transform and validate the trigger hash in the same manner as new_work_item. Thanks again go to Pete Higgins.
- Cleaned up the repo. The C source files have been removed from the main repository (and this gem). They are in a separate branch on github for anyone who misses them.
- Refactored the Rakefile, removing tasks related to the old C source files, and added tasks for cleaning, building and installing a gem.
- Updated the README file, eliminating references to anything that was only related to the older C version.
v0.2.0(19-Jun-2009)
- Rewritten in pure Ruby!
- The TaskScheduler::ONCE constant is now a valid trigger type. Thanks go to Uri Iurgel for the spot and patch.
- Added the TaskScheduler#exists? method.
- Added the TaskScheduler#tasks alias for the TaskScheduler#enum method.
- The TaskScheduler#new_work_item method now accepts symbols as well as strings for hash keys, and ignores case. Also, the keys are now validated.
- Renamed the example file and test file.
- Added the 'example' Rake task.
- Fixed some code in the README synopsis that was incorrect.
- The TaskScheduler#save instance method now accepts an optional file name.
- Most of the TaskScheduler setter methods now return the value specified instead of true.
- Removed the RUN_ONLY_IF_DOCKED and RUN_IF_CONNECTED_TO_INTERNET constants. The MSDN docs say that they are unused.
- Added more documentation. Much more rdoc friendly now.
- Added many more tests.
- Better type handling for bad arguments.
- Added a Rakefile with tasks for building, installation and testing.
- Added a gemspec.
- Inlined the rdoc documentation.
- Internal project reorganization and code cleanup.
- Bug fix for the bitFieldToHumanDays() internal function.
- Moved the 'examples' directory to the toplevel directory.
- Made the CHANGES and README files rdoc friendly.
- Minor updates to taskscheduler.h.
- Now uses the newer allocation framework and replaced all instances of the deprecated STR2CSTR() function with StringValuePtr(). This means that, as of this release, Ruby 1.8.0 or later is required.
- Modified the constructor to accept arguments. This is just some sugar for creating a new task item in one call instead of two.
- The argument to trigger= now must be a hash. The same goes for the 'type' sub-hash.
- Added the add_trigger() method. Actually, the C code for this method was already in place, I simply forgot to create a corresponding Ruby method for it.
- Removed the create_trigger() method. This was really nothing more than an alias for trigger=(). I got confused somehow.
- Test suite modified and many more tests added.
- Documentation updates, including docs for a couple of methods that I had accidentally omitted previously.
- Initial release
