Parses and outputs all sections of a case, for current year.
Fixed indicator/date loop bug.
r2
Rewritten in Perl.
Dropping old version system; no need to be so formal.
Dropping GUI in favor of console interface.
Batches: can now parse multiple cases per run.
Parsing: now supports more indicator and sock templates, and can be easily customized to add more.
Archival: can append to existing reports (updating rowspan as needed) and insert new ones (in appropriate order).
Will parse only the most recent section of any given case.
r3
Arguments: now takes a single (currently mandatory) console argument, maxdate, and will not parse cases closing after that date, or cases for which no closing date can be identified.
Input: now grabs all wikitext via http; will parse and file all case subpages currently transcluded on the RFCU frontpage (noting the maxdate and nodate exceptions).
Improved multi-line matching for indicator/date pairs (needs further testing).
No longer files case reports if an indicator/date pair cannot be found.
Case names are now based on page names directly, instead of being parsed from wikitext.
Fixed date formatting for single-digit numbers.
r4
Now uses api.php instead of query.php
maxdate parameter is now optional; if no date is provided, the program will parse all cases for which dates can be found
/o flag added to some regular expressions for minor optimization
Several minor fixes to indicator/date pairing; some cases had produced erroneous dates
Improved section-based text splitting; failure to split correctly could cause a case to be skipped
r5
Will no longer append to or insert a case summary, if the exact same socklist and casedate is already listed anywhere on the archive page.
Ignores {{checkip|Related IP address, if any}} and {{checkuser|Username of the puppet}} when building socklist.
Fixed an extra newline problem, when appending to some cases.
Allowed whitespace preceding and following indicator template names.
Redirected case subpages will be skipped, when parsing (the target, if transcluded, will already be listed).
r6
Parser will now skip any page which includes the text {{noarchive}} (currently a placeholder template).
Parser now recognizes {{IPblock}} as an indicator.
Case reports inserted in a given section's last position will now be inserted before the table's closing |}.
New output message notifies user if any case is skipped due to noarchive or redirect status.
r7
All socklists and casenames are escaped, before being used as terms in regular expressions (how I went this long without having problems with that, I may never know).
List of cases skipped due to {{noarchive}} or redirect status (if any) is now summarized at the end of output.
Resolved Indicator/date parsing appears to get stuck, when the indicator text is {{declined}} or {{Declined}}. Not sure why, yet. Work around it by editing case text before parsing -- the particular indicator used is irrelevant to the parsing.
Resolved Improve indicator/date pair catching over multiple lines.
Resolved Date formatting tweak, for dates <10
Resolved Check for errors inserting first or last report into a given casefile section.

Closed Allow manual entry for case name and date, if parsing fails?
