| Revision history for Perl extension Text::Soundex. |
| |
| 3.02 Sun Feb 02 02:54:00 EST 2003 <mark@mielke.cc> |
| |
| The U8 type was over-used in 3.00 and 3.01. Now, "U8 *" is used only as a |
| pointer into the UTF-8 string. Also, unicode now works properly on |
| Perl 5.6.x as the utf8_to_uv() function is used instead of utf8n_to_uvchr() |
| when compiled under a version of Perl earlier than 5.8.0. |
| |
| 3.01 Sun Jan 26 16:30:00 EST 2003 <mark@mielke.cc> |
| |
| A bug with non-UTF 8 strings that contain non-ASCII alphabetic characters |
| was fixed. The soundex_unicode() and soundex_nara_unicode() wrapper |
| routines were included and the documentation refers the user to the |
| excellent Text::Unidecode module to perform soundex encodings using |
| unicode strings. The Perl versions of the routines have been further |
| optimized, and correct a border case involving non-alphabetic characters |
| at the beginning of the string. |
| |
| 3.00 Sun Jan 26 04:08:00 EST 2003 <mark@mielke.cc> |
| |
| Updated documentation, simplified the Perl interface, and updated |
| the XS code to be faster, and to properly work with UTF-8 strings. |
| UNICODE characters outside the ASCII range (0x00 - 0x7F) are |
| considered to be non-alphabetic for the purposes of the soundex |
| algorithms. |

| 2.10 Sun Feb 15 15:29:38 EST 1998 <mark@mielke.cc> |
| |
| I've put in a version of my XS code and fully integrated it with the |
| existing 100% perl mechanism. The change should be virtually transparent |
| to the user. XS code is approx 7.5 times faster. |

| |
| Incorporated Mark Mielke's rewritten version of the main soundex routine |
| and made the test.pl file simpler. |
