|
|
tmp -> tls |
| 60 |
|

the numeric code stays 626. If you want to support the old |
| 61 |
|
|
codes, you can use the semi-private function alias_code(). |
| 62 |
|
|
|
| 63 |
|
|
2.03 2002-03-24 neilb |
| 64 |

| 75 |
|
|
* renamed _alias_code to be alias_code. Have retained the old |

| 78 |
|
|

2.01 2002-02-18 neilb |

|
|
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. |

|
|
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 |
|
|

|
|
1.03 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 |
|
|

|
|
| 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 |
|
|
|
| 166 |
