Item1135: Missing API documentation

FoswikiFuncDotPm , FoswikiMetaDotPm , and FoswikiSandboxDotPm

(foswiki.org doesn't have those topics in System, because it is an svn-based installation).

these files aren't included in the 1.0.0 tgz/zip

(see also TWiki:TWiki04x02.TWikiFuncDotPm TWiki:TWiki04x02.TWikiMetaDotPm TWiki:TWiki04x02.TWikiSandboxDotPm

Those files no longer exist and are no longer required. POD documentation is generated on the fly from the release sources.

Use

• Foswiki::Func
• Foswiki::Meta
• Foswiki::Sandbox

instead.

ok, cool. i even vaguely remember a discussion about that...

so, i will change all instances Foswiki*DotPm to PerlDoc references

./core/data/System/DevelopingPlugins.txt:Plugins sometimes need to store data. This can be plugin internal data such as cache data, or data generated for browser consumption such as images. Plugins should store data using FoswikiFuncDotPm functions that support saving and loading of topics and attachments.
./core/data/System/DevelopingPlugins.txt:The plugin interface (FoswikiFuncDotPm functions and plugin handlers) evolve over time. Foswiki introduces new API functions to address the needs of plugin authors. Plugins using unofficial Foswiki internal functions may no longer work on a Foswiki upgrade.
./core/data/System/DevelopingPlugins.txt:From time-to-time, the Foswiki developers will add new functions to the interface (either to FoswikiFuncDotPm, or new handlers). Sometimes these improvements mean that old functions have to be deprecated to keep the code manageable. When this happens, the deprecated functions will be supported in the interface for at least one more Foswiki release, and probably longer, though this cannot be guaranteed.
