1 Revision history for Perl suite Locale::Maketext
2 Time-stamp: "2004-03-30 21:38:07 AST"
7 New maintainer. No changes at all. Bumped up the version number
8 and released it so that I can get the RT queue and any future mail.
11 2004-03-30 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
14 * Moved the language-preference-detecting code into new module
15 I18N::LangTags::Detect.
17 Thanks to Autrijus Tang for catching some errors in the dist!
20 2004-01-19 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
24 * Corrected a one-line code bug in v1.07 that accidentally demoted
25 all en-* tags in cases of lexicon-groups that had an en.pm but no
26 en_*.pm. Thanks to Robert Spier for spotting this. Test added.
29 * Autrijus found some typoes in the TPJ article. Fixed.1
31 2004-01-11 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
33 * Release 1.07: Now uses a new and different rule for implicating
34 superordinate language tags in accept-language lists. Previously,
35 superordinates were just tacked onto the, so "en-US, ja", turned
36 into "en-US, ja, en". However, this turned out to be suboptimal
37 for many users of RT, a popular system using Maketext. The new
38 rule is that a tag implicates superordinate forms right after it,
39 unless those tags are explicitly stated elsewhere in the
40 accept-languages list. So "en-US ja" becomes "en-US en ja". If
41 you want "en" to be really lower, you have to actually state it
42 there: "en-US ja en" is left as-is.
44 The 04super.t and 05super.t tests in t/ have many many examples of
45 this, including some strange corner cases.
47 (In implementing this change, I also refactored some code in
48 Maketext.pm, for hopefully improved readability. However,
49 the above is the only actual change in behavior.)
51 2003-06-21 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
52 * Release 1.06: Now has "use utf8" to make the things work
53 happily. Some fancy footwork is required to make this work under
54 pre-utf8 perl versions.
56 2003-04-18 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
57 * Release 1.05: Different Makefile.PL, same .pm code.
59 Jesse Vincent, Hugo van der Sanden, and Jarkko Hietaniemi
60 encourage me to add this to the makefile:
61 ($] < 5.008) ? () : ( INSTALLDIRS => 'perl'),
62 so that when you install this on a recent version of perl (5.8 or
63 later), the installation will overwrite the Maketext.pm in your
64 core library directory. Email me if this produces trouble for any
65 of you folks out there, okay?
67 2003-04-02 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
68 * Release 1.04: Implementing proper HTTP "tag;q=rank" parsing for
69 get_handle. This should make all the difference for users/victims
70 of the current version of Safari, which uses that syntax as well
71 as inserts random languages with low q numbers.
72 Thanks to Jesse Vincent and the whole RT junta for finding this.
74 * Added more tests, now in t/
76 * Lots of typo fixes to Maketext.pm. Thanks to Evan A. Zacks for
77 patient help in finding them all.
79 2001-06-21 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
80 * Release 1.03: basically cosmetic tweaks to the docs and the
83 2001-06-20 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
84 * Release 1.02: EBCDIC-compatability changes courtesy of Peter
85 Prymmer. Added [*,...] as alias for [quant,...] and [#,...] as an
86 alias for [numf,...]. Added some more things to test.pl
88 2001-05-25 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
89 * Release 1.01: total rewrite. Docs are massive now.
90 Including TPJ13 article now.
92 2000-05-14 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
94 * Release 0.18: only change, regrettably, is a better makefile,
95 and it my email address has changed.
97 1999-03-15 Sean M. Burke sburke@netadventure.net
99 * Release 0.17: Public alpha release
