| 2 | ChangeLog for Locale-Codes Distribution |

| f768f60b |
4 | As of 3.00, the codes are autogenerated from the standards. With each release, codes will |
| 5 | be re-generated and tested to see if any code changed. Any time there are any changes to |
| 6 | the codes, it will be flagged below with a change: NEW CODE(s). |
| 7 | |
| 8 | 3.13 |
| 9 | |
| 10 | 3.12 2010-04-06 sbeck |
| 11 | * NEW CODE(s) |
| 12 | * Renamed test.pl to testfunc.pl to avoid causing an error |
| 13 | when built as part of perl. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | 3.11 2010-03-01 sbeck |
| 16 | * NEW CODE(s) |
| 17 | * Added the IANA domain names to Country |
| 18 | * Fixed a problem that produced warnings with perl 5.11.5. |

| 21 | 3.10 2010-02-18 sbeck |
| 22 | * NEW CODE(s) |
| 23 | * Moved support files into the Locale::Codes namespace. |
| 24 | * The work done in each of the Locale::XXX modules was |
| 25 | virtually identical to each other. It has all |
| 26 | been moved to a central module and the |
| 27 | Locale::XXX moduels are now just wrappers. |
| 28 | * The XXX_code2code functions would return undef if the |
| 29 | same codeset were passed in for both the 2nd and |
| 30 | 3rd arguments. This doesn't make sense and has |
| 31 | been changed. |
| 32 | * Added all semi-private routines (except for the |
| 33 | couple that were already present): |
| 34 | rename_XXX |
| 35 | add_XXX |
| 36 | delete_XXX |
| 37 | add_XXX_alias |
| 38 | delete_XXX_alias |
| 39 | rename_XXX_code |
| 40 | add_XXX_code_alias |
| 41 | delete_XXX_code_alias |
| 42 | * Added "UK" alias. Steve Hay |
| 43 | |
| 44 | 3.01 2010-02-15 sbeck |
| 45 | * Fixed Makefile.PL and Build.PL to install as core |
| 46 | modules. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | 3.00 2010-02-10 sbeck |
| 49 | * NEW CODE(s) |
| 50 | * Took over maintenance of the code |
| 51 | * All codes and country names come from the official |
| 52 | standards |
| 53 | * code2country now returns the name of the country specified |
| 54 | in the standard (if the different standards refer |
| 55 | to the country by different variations in the name, |
| 56 | the results will differe based on the CODESET) |
| 57 | * Added code sets |
| 58 | FIPS 10 country codes |
| 59 | Alpha-3 and Term language codes |
| 60 | Numeric currency codes |
| 61 | * The rename_country funcion from 2.07 would guess the |
| 62 | CODESET (unlike all other functions which used |
| 63 | a default of LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2). The guess can |
| 64 | cause problems since (with the addition of FIPS) |
| 65 | codes may appear in different codesets for different |
| 66 | countries. The behavior has been changed to be |
| 67 | the same as other functions (default to |
| 68 | LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2). |
| 69 | * Dropped support for _alias_code |
| 70 | * Added language_code2code, currency_code2code |
| 71 | |

| 80 | French Southern Territories |
| 81 | patch from TJ Mather |
| 82 | * "Canadian Dollar" was mis-spelled as "Candian Dollar" |
| 83 | - noted by Nick Cabatoff, patch from Michael Hennecke |
| 84 | * Changes to Locale::Country reflecting changes in ISO 3166 |
| 85 | - added Aland Islands (ax, ala, 248) |
| 86 | - YUGOSLAVIA is now SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO |

| 101 | |
| 102 | * The four modules which have data after __DATA__ weren't |
| 103 | closing the DATA filehandle after reading from it, |
| 104 | which they should. Bug and patch from Steve Hay. |
| 105 | |
| 106 | 2.05 2002-07-08 neilb |
| 107 | |
| 108 | * Added three letter codes for the countries that were missing |
| 109 | them. Patch from TJ Mather. |
| 110 | * Documentation bug: one of the examples used => where the |
| 111 | lvalue was a constant, which isn't allowed, unless you |
| 112 | put the () with the constant to force the right interpretation. |
| 113 | Pointed out by TJ Mather and MYT. |
| 114 | * Updated the URL for the appendix in the CIA world factbook. |
| 115 | Patch from TJ Mather. |

117 | 2.04 2002-05-23 neilb |
| 118 | |
| 119 | * updated according to changes in ISO 3166-1 described |
| 120 | in ISO 3166-1 newsletters V-4 and V-5, dated 2002-05-20: |
| 121 | - Kazakstan is now "Kazakhstan" |
| 122 | - Macau is now "Macao" |
| 123 | The old names are retained as aliases. |
| 124 | |
| 125 | The alpha-2 and alpha-3 codes for East Timor have changed: |
| 126 | tp -> tl |
| 127 | tmp -> tls |
| 128 | the numeric code stays 626. If you want to support the old |
| 129 | codes, you can use the semi-private function alias_code(). |

131 | 2.03 2002-03-24 neilb |
| 132 | |

138 | 2.02 2002-03-09 neilb |
| 139 | |
| 140 | * added semi-private routine rename_country() to Locale::Country, |
| 141 | based on a patch from Iain Chalmers. |
| 142 | * added test rename.t for the above function. |
| 143 | * renamed _alias_code to be alias_code. Have retained the old |
| 144 | name for backwards compatibility. Will remove it when the |
| 145 | major version number next changes. |
| 146 | |

147 | 2.01 2002-02-18 neilb |
| 148 | |
| 149 | * Split the documentation for all modules into separate pod files. |
| 150 | * Made sure all =over were =over 4; some were other values. |
| 151 | * The code2code() methods had one more shift than was needed. |
| 152 | |
| 6b6e008c |
153 | 2.00 2002-02-17 neilb |
| 154 | |
| 155 | * Created Locale::Script which provides an interface to the |
| 156 | ISO codes for identification of scripts (writing scripts, |
| 157 | rather than perl style scripts). The codes are defined |
| 158 | by ISO 15924, which is currently in final draft. |
| 159 | Thanks to Jarkko for pointing out this new standard. |
| 160 | All three code sets are supported, and a test-suite added. |
| 161 | |
| 162 | * Added support for country name variants to Locale::Country, |
| 163 | so that |
| 164 | country2code('USA') |
| 165 | country2code('United States') |
| 166 | country2code('United States of America') |
| 167 | will all return 'us'. |
| 168 | This had been in the LIMITATIONS section since the first version. |
| 169 | Patch from TJ Mather <tjmather@tjmather.com> with additional |
| 170 | variants from me. Added test-cases for these. |
| 171 | |
| 172 | * Added VERSION to Locale::Constants. Thanks to Jarkko for |
| 173 | pointing that it was missing. |
| 174 | |
| 175 | * Should really have bumped major version with previous release, |
| 176 | since there was a change to the API. |
| 177 | |
| 178 | 1.06 2001-03-04 neilb |
| 179 | |
| 180 | Added Locale::Constants, which defines three symbols |
| 181 | for identifying which codeset is being used: |
| 182 | |
| 183 | LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2 |
| 184 | LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3 |
| 185 | LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC |
| 186 | |
| 187 | Updated Locale::Country to support all three code sets |
| 188 | defined by ISO 3166. This was requested by Keith Wall. |
| 189 | I haven't added multiple codeset support to the other |
| 190 | modules yet - I'll wait until someone asks for them. |
| 191 | |
| 192 | 1.05 Feb 2001 |
| 193 | |
| 194 | Added Locale::Currency, contribution from Michael Hennecke. |
| 195 | Added testsuite for it (t/currency.t) and added testcases |
| 196 | to t/all.t for the all_* functions. |
| 197 | |
| 198 | 1.04 Dec 2000 |
| 199 | |
| 200 | Fixed very minor typos from 1.03! |
| 201 | |
| 202 | 1.03 Dec 2000 |
| 203 | |
| 204 | Updated Locale::Country: |
| 205 | - fixed spelling of a few countries |
| 206 | - added link to a relevant page from CIA world factbook |
| 207 | |
| 208 | Updated Locale::Language: |
| 209 | - fixed typo in the documentation (ISO 939 should be 639) |
| 210 | |
| 211 | 1.02 May 2000 |
| 212 | |
| 213 | Updated Locale::Country and Locale::Language to reflect changes |
| 214 | in the relevant ISO standards. These mainly reflect languages |
| 215 | which are new to the relevant standard, and changes in the |
| 216 | spelling of some country names. |
| 217 | |
| 218 | Added official URLs for the standards to the SEE ALSO sections |
| 219 | of the doc for each module. |
| 220 | |
| 221 | Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi for pointing me at the pages |
| 222 | with latest versions of ISO 3166 and 639. |
| 223 | |
| 224 | 1.00 March 1998 |
| 225 | |
| 226 | Added Locale::Country::_alias_code() so that 'uk' can be added |
| 227 | as the code for "United Kingdom", if you want it. |
| 228 | This was prompted by Ed Jordan <ed@chronos.net> |
| 229 | |
| 230 | Added a new testsuite for handling this case, and extended the |
| 231 | existing test-suite to include testing of the case where |
| 232 | 'uk' hasn't been defined as a valid code. |
| 233 | |
| 234 | 0.003 May 1997 |
| 235 | |
| 236 | First public release to CPAN |
