1 Revision history for Perl suite Locale::Maketext
3 2008-05-28 Adriano Ferreira
6 New maintainer. No noteworthy changes.
8 When debugging is turned on, "DEBUG and warn" is now
9 used instead of "DEBUG and print". It makes web applications
10 happier. CPAN RT #36238
15 Many doc changes from RT.
17 Silenced some "used only once" warnings under Perl 5.10.
19 $@ is now localized in case it gets interpolated. This was added
20 a while ago, but now there's a test for it, too.
22 Added warnings and strict to tests.
24 Cleaning up some Perl::Critic gripes.

32 Started cleaning up source per Perl::Critic.

38 New maintainer. No changes at all. Bumped up the version number
39 and released it so that I can get the RT queue and any future mail.
42 2004-03-30 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
45 * Moved the language-preference-detecting code into new module
46 I18N::LangTags::Detect.
48 Thanks to Autrijus Tang for catching some errors in the dist!
51 2004-01-19 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
55 * Corrected a one-line code bug in v1.07 that accidentally demoted
56 all en-* tags in cases of lexicon-groups that had an en.pm but no
57 en_*.pm. Thanks to Robert Spier for spotting this. Test added.
60 * Autrijus found some typoes in the TPJ article. Fixed.
62 2004-01-11 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
64 * Release 1.07: Now uses a new and different rule for implicating
65 superordinate language tags in accept-language lists. Previously,
66 superordinates were just tacked onto the, so "en-US, ja", turned
67 into "en-US, ja, en". However, this turned out to be suboptimal
68 for many users of RT, a popular system using Maketext. The new
69 rule is that a tag implicates superordinate forms right after it,
70 unless those tags are explicitly stated elsewhere in the
71 accept-languages list. So "en-US ja" becomes "en-US en ja". If
72 you want "en" to be really lower, you have to actually state it
73 there: "en-US ja en" is left as-is.
75 The 04super.t and 05super.t tests in t/ have many many examples of
76 this, including some strange corner cases.
78 (In implementing this change, I also refactored some code in
79 Maketext.pm, for hopefully improved readability. However,
80 the above is the only actual change in behavior.)
82 2003-06-21 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
83 * Release 1.06: Now has "use utf8" to make the things work
84 happily. Some fancy footwork is required to make this work under
85 pre-utf8 perl versions.
87 2003-04-18 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
88 * Release 1.05: Different Makefile.PL, same .pm code.
90 Jesse Vincent, Hugo van der Sanden, and Jarkko Hietaniemi
91 encourage me to add this to the makefile:
92 ($] < 5.008) ? () : ( INSTALLDIRS => 'perl'),
93 so that when you install this on a recent version of perl (5.8 or
94 later), the installation will overwrite the Maketext.pm in your
95 core library directory. Email me if this produces trouble for any
96 of you folks out there, okay?
98 2003-04-02 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
99 * Release 1.04: Implementing proper HTTP "tag;q=rank" parsing for
100 get_handle. This should make all the difference for users/victims
101 of the current version of Safari, which uses that syntax as well
102 as inserts random languages with low q numbers.
103 Thanks to Jesse Vincent and the whole RT junta for finding this.
105 * Added more tests, now in t/
107 * Lots of typo fixes to Maketext.pm. Thanks to Evan A. Zacks for
108 patient help in finding them all.
110 2001-06-21 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
111 * Release 1.03: basically cosmetic tweaks to the docs and the
114 2001-06-20 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
115 * Release 1.02: EBCDIC-compatability changes courtesy of Peter
116 Prymmer. Added [*,...] as alias for [quant,...] and [#,...] as an
117 alias for [numf,...]. Added some more things to test.pl
119 2001-05-25 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
120 * Release 1.01: total rewrite. Docs are massive now.
121 Including TPJ13 article now.
123 2000-05-14 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
125 * Release 0.18: only change, regrettably, is a better makefile,
126 and it my email address has changed.
128 1999-03-15 Sean M. Burke sburke@netadventure.net
130 * Release 0.17: Public alpha release
