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().

19
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
24
917211f5 252.02 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.
33
6b14ceb7 342.01 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
6b6e008c 402.00 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
651.06 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
791.05 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
851.04 Dec 2000
86
87 Fixed very minor typos from 1.03!
88
891.03 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
981.02 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
1111.00 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
1210.003 May 1997
