Tags Base started as the merge and enhancements of the scripts: *TagsMenu (http://members.home.net/jayglanville/tagsmenu/TagsMenu.html) script     Jay Dickon Glanville  dickon@nortelnetworks.com *ctags.vim (http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=12) script Alexey Marinichev   lyosha@lyosha.2y.net see |TagsBase-Credits| It now is a complete rewrite of those scripts plus additional functionality in embedded perl as well as some of the original vim code which is used to provide the same functionality when you are unlucky enough not to have access to the +perl or +perl/dyn feature in your vim build. Tags Base automatically uses |ctags| to generate a |tag| file for the currently edited file, refreshes it if the file is newer than the tags file and uses it to provide a set of advanced feature to vim. Beware that this means that some tag files are left behind on your computer, they may end up in the same directory as your files or in a temporary directory depending on the rights of the file directory. You can specify the prefixe and suffix used to compute those temporary files.  There is also                 some options to cleanup those file, the default being of only cleaning up                 the temp directory. Right now the feature provided are:     *Detection of the currently edited tag and its type and presentation of this information in the      title bar. Most of the time when editing a C/C++/java... file this means you have on the      title bar the name of the current function.     *Creation of a menu of tags in the file this      contains things such as method, function, class... the type of tags supported depends on      the current language and on the implementation of the |ctags| program     TagsBase manipulates all tags supported by |ctags|. (For the full list of     supported tags and attributes, see "http://ctags.sourceforge.net/"; Additional description can be found in the included help file. This script requires a version 5.0 of ctags. This script has also been used by me as a test bed for embedding perl in vim scripts specifically for performance reasons since parsing a large set of tags can take a fair amount of time. For this reason you'll find a couple fo files (TagsBase.pl and VIM.pm) which I use in the development process, to find out about this see vimtip #140

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
TagsBase.zip	0.9.2	2001-11-28	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	corrected several bugs when the file path contains some spaces corrected a bug with the TagsWindow
TagsBase.zip	0.9.1	2001-11-12	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	corrected a bug in the current tag lookup when perl is not available
TagsBase.zip	0.9	2001-11-11	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	added the TagsWindow command to visualize tags in a buffer. added a menu entry to opent the Tags Buffer. added a toc to the help. corrected the NT ACL bug.
TagsBase.zip	0.8.3	2001-10-25	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	greatly enhanced the win32 cascading menus (when perl is available)
TagsBase.zip	0.8.2	2001-10-21	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	bugfix removed some stray timing statements from the perl scripts
TagsBase.zip	0.8.1	2001-10-20	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	small correction for bug resulting in error message: Uncaught exception from user code: ^ICan't call method "Type" on unblessed reference at perl/TagsBase.vim line 376. ^ITagsBase::GetTagType(391) called at (eval 14) line 1 ^Ieval 'TagsBase::GetTagType 391 ;' called at (eval 14) line 0 Uncaught exception from user code: ^ICan't call method "Name" on unblessed reference at perl/TagsBase.vim line 389. ^ITagsBase::GetTagName(391) called at (eval 15) line 1 ^Ieval 'TagsBase::GetTagName 391
TagsBase.zip	0.8	2001-10-19	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	Greatly improved the speed when perl is available.  Now almost everything happens in the perl interpreter.   Speed improvement example: on a file with 5408 tags: 645 second --> 72 second.  Limited the number of menu items to configurable size both for time reasons and because gtk doesn't like menus which are longer than the screen. Added the TagsBase.pl and VIM.pm file to the distribution, those are not needed for running the scripts but are usefull for debuging the perl parts.
TagsBase.zip	0.7.1	2001-10-09	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	"Corrected some bugs regarding the situation when perl is not builtin.   Corrected a bug when there is only one tag in the file repeated tag generation would interpret it as being overloaded.
TagsBase.zip	0.7	2001-10-09	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	Corrected some bugs regarding paths with spaces. replaced the script local function s:GetTagName by a global function TagsBase_GetTagName. Modified the doc to suggest using this function for displaying the tag name someplace else than the title bar. Corrected a bug regarding the cleanup code and editing read only files.
TagsBase.zip	0.6.1	2001-10-05	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	Uses the BufEnter autocmd to refresh the menu, this makes the menu work with split windows. Keeps the menu generating command in a buffer variable to avoid the extra work of reparsing if it is not needed.   Uses the perl interpreter if available to speed up the tags parsing.
TagsBase.zip	0.6	2001-10-02	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	avoids opening a buffer on the tags file, optionnally destroy the created tags files,   changed the name of the g:CatProg variable to g:TagsBase_CatProg. See :help TagsBase for a descriptions of the new options
TagsBase.zip	0.5.3	2001-10-02	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	added new options to select the name of the tags files. Removed the html files. Changed the       license to public domain added the               |TagsBase-ChangeLog| and the |TagsBase-Credits| section to the help. Added a warning about the   existence of the tags files"
TagsBase.zip	0.5.2	2001-10-02	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	bug fixes in the sorting of the lines array
TagsBase.zip	0.5.1	2001-10-02	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	bug correction
TagsBase.zip	0.5	2001-10-02	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	I'm having a problem with the vim online interface, the version 0.5 script is a zip file not a vim file. Once you download it it should be renamed as TagsBase.zip and unpacked in your runtimepath.
TagsBase.zip	0.5	2001-10-02	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	Added help, made customization easier, packaged into a zip file. To install unpack in a directory in your runtimepath (see :help runtimepath) and run :helptags $dirUnpacked/doc
TagsBase.zip	0.4	2001-10-01	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	reorganized and commented the script, support for the builtin tags stack, support for ordered tag file generation, some bugs corrected.
TagsBase.zip	0.3	2001-10-01	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	added a menu entry to toggle on and off the title string functionality
TagsBase.zip	0.2	2001-10-01	6.0	Benoit Cerrina	Corrected dependency on a $TMP variable corrected bug when on an ms system the shell used was a unix type shell, this generated problems due to the shell misinterpreting the '' in a path.
