5 | |
6 | * updated according to changes in ISO 3166-1 described |
7 | in ISO 3166-1 newsletters V-4 and V-5, dated 2002-05-20: |
8 | - Kazakstan is now "Kazakhstan" |
9 | - Macau is now "Macao" |
10 | The old names are retained as aliases. |
11 | |
12 | The alpha-2 and alpha-3 codes for East Timor have changed: |
13 | tp -> tl |
14 | tmp -> tls |
15 | the numeric code stays 626. If you want to support the old |
16 | codes, you can use the semi-private function alias_code(). |

20 | * Fixed a typo in the alias for the Vatican, reported (with patch) |
21 | by Philip Newton. |
22 | * Added "Moldova" as an alias for "Moldova, Republic of" |
23 | * Updated Makefile.PL to include AUTHOR and ABSTRACT |

25 | 2.02 2002-03-09 neilb |
26 | |
27 | * added semi-private routine rename_country() to Locale::Country, |
28 | based on a patch from Iain Chalmers. |
29 | * added test rename.t for the above function. |
30 | * renamed _alias_code to be alias_code. Have retained the old |
31 | name for backwards compatibility. Will remove it when the |
32 | major version number next changes. |

34 | 2.01 2002-02-18 neilb |
35 | |
36 | * Split the documentation for all modules into separate pod files. |
37 | * Made sure all =over were =over 4; some were other values. |
38 | * The code2code() methods had one more shift than was needed. |
39 | |

40 | 2.00 2002-02-17 neilb |
41 | |
42 | * Created Locale::Script which provides an interface to the |
43 | ISO codes for identification of scripts (writing scripts, |
44 | rather than perl style scripts). The codes are defined |
45 | by ISO 15924, which is currently in final draft. |
46 | Thanks to Jarkko for pointing out this new standard. |
47 | All three code sets are supported, and a test-suite added. |
48 | |
49 | * Added support for country name variants to Locale::Country, |
50 | so that |
51 | country2code('USA') |
52 | country2code('United States') |
53 | country2code('United States of America') |
54 | will all return 'us'. |
55 | This had been in the LIMITATIONS section since the first version. |
56 | Patch from TJ Mather <tjmather@tjmather.com> with additional |
57 | variants from me. Added test-cases for these. |
58 | |
59 | * Added VERSION to Locale::Constants. Thanks to Jarkko for |
60 | pointing that it was missing. |
61 | |
62 | * Should really have bumped major version with previous release, |
63 | since there was a change to the API. |
64 | |
65 | 1.06 2001-03-04 neilb |
66 | |
67 | Added Locale::Constants, which defines three symbols |
68 | for identifying which codeset is being used: |
69 | |
70 | LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2 |
71 | LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3 |
72 | LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC |
73 | |
74 | Updated Locale::Country to support all three code sets |
75 | defined by ISO 3166. This was requested by Keith Wall. |
76 | I haven't added multiple codeset support to the other |
77 | modules yet - I'll wait until someone asks for them. |
78 | |
79 | 1.05 Feb 2001 |
80 | |
81 | Added Locale::Currency, contribution from Michael Hennecke. |
82 | Added testsuite for it (t/currency.t) and added testcases |
83 | to t/all.t for the all_* functions. |
84 | |
85 | 1.04 Dec 2000 |
86 | |
87 | Fixed very minor typos from 1.03! |
88 | |
89 | 1.03 Dec 2000 |
90 | |
91 | Updated Locale::Country: |
92 | - fixed spelling of a few countries |
93 | - added link to a relevant page from CIA world factbook |
94 | |
95 | Updated Locale::Language: |
96 | - fixed typo in the documentation (ISO 939 should be 639) |
97 | |
98 | 1.02 May 2000 |
99 | |
100 | Updated Locale::Country and Locale::Language to reflect changes |
101 | in the relevant ISO standards. These mainly reflect languages |
102 | which are new to the relevant standard, and changes in the |
103 | spelling of some country names. |
104 | |
105 | Added official URLs for the standards to the SEE ALSO sections |
106 | of the doc for each module. |
107 | |
108 | Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi for pointing me at the pages |
109 | with latest versions of ISO 3166 and 639. |
110 | |
111 | 1.00 March 1998 |
112 | |
113 | Added Locale::Country::_alias_code() so that 'uk' can be added |
114 | as the code for "United Kingdom", if you want it. |
115 | This was prompted by Ed Jordan <ed@chronos.net> |
116 | |
117 | Added a new testsuite for handling this case, and extended the |
118 | existing test-suite to include testing of the case where |
119 | 'uk' hasn't been defined as a valid code. |
120 | |
121 | 0.003 May 1997 |

123 | First public release to CPAN |
