4 2004-03-30 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
7 * Moved the language-preference-detecting code into new module
8 I18N::LangTags::Detect.
10 Thanks to Autrijus Tang for catching some errors in the dist!
14 2004-01-19 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
18 * Corrected a one-line code bug in v1.07 that accidentally demoted
19 all en-* tags in cases of lexicon-groups that had an en.pm but no
20 en_*.pm. Thanks to Robert Spier for spotting this. Test added.
23 * Autrijus found some typoes in the TPJ article. Fixed.1
25 2004-01-11 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
27 * Release 1.07: Now uses a new and different rule for implicating
28 superordinate language tags in accept-language lists. Previously,
29 superordinates were just tacked onto the, so "en-US, ja", turned
30 into "en-US, ja, en". However, this turned out to be suboptimal
31 for many users of RT, a popular system using Maketext. The new
32 rule is that a tag implicates superordinate forms right after it,
33 unless those tags are explicitly stated elsewhere in the
34 accept-languages list. So "en-US ja" becomes "en-US en ja". If
35 you want "en" to be really lower, you have to actually state it
36 there: "en-US ja en" is left as-is.
38 The 04super.t and 05super.t tests in t/ have many many examples of
39 this, including some strange corner cases.
41 (In implementing this change, I also refactored some code in
42 Maketext.pm, for hopefully improved readability. However,
43 the above is the only actual change in behavior.)
45 2003-06-21 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
46 * Release 1.06: Now has "use utf8" to make the things work
47 happily. Some fancy footwork is required to make this work under
48 pre-utf8 perl versions.
50 2003-04-18 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
51 * Release 1.05: Different Makefile.PL, same .pm code.
53 Jesse Vincent, Hugo van der Sanden, and Jarkko Hietaniemi
54 encourage me to add this to the makefile:
55 ($] < 5.008) ? () : ( INSTALLDIRS => 'perl'),
56 so that when you install this on a recent version of perl (5.8 or
57 later), the installation will overwrite the Maketext.pm in your
58 core library directory. Email me if this produces trouble for any
59 of you folks out there, okay?
61 2003-04-02 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
62 * Release 1.04: Implementing proper HTTP "tag;q=rank" parsing for
63 get_handle. This should make all the difference for users/victims
64 of the current version of Safari, which uses that syntax as well
65 as inserts random languages with low q numbers.
66 Thanks to Jesse Vincent and the whole RT junta for finding this.
68 * Added more tests, now in t/
70 * Lots of typo fixes to Maketext.pm. Thanks to Evan A. Zacks for
71 patient help in finding them all.
73 2001-06-21 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
74 * Release 1.03: basically cosmetic tweaks to the docs and the
77 2001-06-20 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
78 * Release 1.02: EBCDIC-compatability changes courtesy of Peter
79 Prymmer. Added [*,...] as alias for [quant,...] and [#,...] as an
80 alias for [numf,...]. Added some more things to test.pl
82 2001-05-25 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
83 * Release 1.01: total rewrite. Docs are massive now.
84 Including TPJ13 article now.
86 2000-05-14 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
88 * Release 0.18: only change, regrettably, is a better makefile,
89 and it my email address has changed.
91 1999-03-15 Sean M. Burke sburke@netadventure.net
93 * Release 0.17: Public alpha release
