71 | |
72 | * added semi-private routine rename_country() to Locale::Country, |

76 | name for backwards compatibility. Will remove it when the |
77 | major version number next changes. |

80 | |
81 | * Split the documentation for all modules into separate pod files. |

84 | |

85 | 2.00 2002-02-17 neilb |
86 | |
87 | * Created Locale::Script which provides an interface to the |
88 | ISO codes for identification of scripts (writing scripts, |
89 | rather than perl style scripts). The codes are defined |
90 | by ISO 15924, which is currently in final draft. |
91 | Thanks to Jarkko for pointing out this new standard. |
92 | All three code sets are supported, and a test-suite added. |
93 | |
94 | * Added support for country name variants to Locale::Country, |
95 | so that |
96 | country2code('USA') |
97 | country2code('United States') |
98 | country2code('United States of America') |
99 | will all return 'us'. |
100 | This had been in the LIMITATIONS section since the first version. |
101 | Patch from TJ Mather <tjmather@tjmather.com> with additional |
102 | variants from me. Added test-cases for these. |
103 | |
104 | * Added VERSION to Locale::Constants. Thanks to Jarkko for |
105 | pointing that it was missing. |
106 | |
107 | * Should really have bumped major version with previous release, |
108 | since there was a change to the API. |
109 | |
110 | 1.06 2001-03-04 neilb |
111 | |
112 | Added Locale::Constants, which defines three symbols |
113 | for identifying which codeset is being used: |
114 | |
115 | LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2 |
116 | LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3 |
117 | LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC |
118 | |
119 | Updated Locale::Country to support all three code sets |
120 | defined by ISO 3166. This was requested by Keith Wall. |
121 | I haven't added multiple codeset support to the other |
122 | modules yet - I'll wait until someone asks for them. |
123 | |
124 | 1.05 Feb 2001 |
125 | |
126 | Added Locale::Currency, contribution from Michael Hennecke. |
127 | Added testsuite for it (t/currency.t) and added testcases |
128 | to t/all.t for the all_* functions. |
129 | |
130 | 1.04 Dec 2000 |
131 | |
132 | Fixed very minor typos from 1.03! |
133 | |
134 | 1.03 Dec 2000 |
135 | |
136 | Updated Locale::Country: |
137 | - fixed spelling of a few countries |
138 | - added link to a relevant page from CIA world factbook |
139 | |
140 | Updated Locale::Language: |
141 | - fixed typo in the documentation (ISO 939 should be 639) |
142 | |
143 | 1.02 May 2000 |
144 | |
145 | Updated Locale::Country and Locale::Language to reflect changes |
146 | in the relevant ISO standards. These mainly reflect languages |
147 | which are new to the relevant standard, and changes in the |
148 | spelling of some country names. |
149 | |
150 | Added official URLs for the standards to the SEE ALSO sections |
151 | of the doc for each module. |
152 | |
153 | Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi for pointing me at the pages |
154 | with latest versions of ISO 3166 and 639. |
155 | |
156 | 1.00 March 1998 |
157 | |
158 | Added Locale::Country::_alias_code() so that 'uk' can be added |
159 | as the code for "United Kingdom", if you want it. |
160 | This was prompted by Ed Jordan <ed@chronos.net> |
161 | |
162 | Added a new testsuite for handling this case, and extended the |
163 | existing test-suite to include testing of the case where |
164 | 'uk' hasn't been defined as a valid code. |
165 | |
