8 * Corrected a one-line code bug in v1.07 that accidentally demoted
9 all en-* tags in cases of lexicon-groups that had an en.pm but no
10 en_*.pm. Thanks to Robert Spier for spotting this. Test added.
13 * Autrijus found some typoes in the TPJ article. Fixed.1
15 2004-01-11 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
17 * Release 1.07: Now uses a new and different rule for implicating
18 superordinate language tags in accept-language lists. Previously,
19 superordinates were just tacked onto the, so "en-US, ja", turned
20 into "en-US, ja, en". However, this turned out to be suboptimal
21 for many users of RT, a popular system using Maketext. The new
22 rule is that a tag implicates superordinate forms right after it,
23 unless those tags are explicitly stated elsewhere in the
24 accept-languages list. So "en-US ja" becomes "en-US en ja". If
25 you want "en" to be really lower, you have to actually state it
26 there: "en-US ja en" is left as-is.
28 The 04super.t and 05super.t tests in t/ have many many examples of
29 this, including some strange corner cases.
31 (In implementing this change, I also refactored some code in
32 Maketext.pm, for hopefully improved readability. However,
33 the above is the only actual change in behavior.)

36 * Release 1.06: Now has "use utf8" to make the things work
37 happily. Some fancy footwork is required to make this work under
38 pre-utf8 perl versions.
40 2003-04-18 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
41 * Release 1.05: Different Makefile.PL, same .pm code.
43 Jesse Vincent, Hugo van der Sanden, and Jarkko Hietaniemi
44 encourage me to add this to the makefile:
45 ($] < 5.008) ? () : ( INSTALLDIRS => 'perl'),
46 so that when you install this on a recent version of perl (5.8 or
47 later), the installation will overwrite the Maketext.pm in your
48 core library directory. Email me if this produces trouble for any
49 of you folks out there, okay?
51 2003-04-02 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
52 * Release 1.04: Implementing proper HTTP "tag;q=rank" parsing for
53 get_handle. This should make all the difference for users/victims
54 of the current version of Safari, which uses that syntax as well
55 as inserts random languages with low q numbers.
56 Thanks to Jesse Vincent and the whole RT junta for finding this.
58 * Added more tests, now in t/
60 * Lots of typo fixes to Maketext.pm. Thanks to Evan A. Zacks for
61 patient help in finding them all.
63 2001-06-21 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
64 * Release 1.03: basically cosmetic tweaks to the docs and the
67 2001-06-20 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
68 * Release 1.02: EBCDIC-compatability changes courtesy of Peter
69 Prymmer. Added [*,...] as alias for [quant,...] and [#,...] as an
70 alias for [numf,...]. Added some more things to test.pl
72 2001-05-25 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
73 * Release 1.01: total rewrite. Docs are massive now.
74 Including TPJ13 article now.
76 2000-05-14 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
78 * Release 0.18: only change, regrettably, is a better makefile,
79 and it my email address has changed.

83 * Release 0.17: Public alpha release
