(XSUB needs a C compiler.) To build pure perl, run disableXS before Makefile.PL. * DUCET will be compiled when XS is used. Explicit saying 'allkeys.txt'> (or using another table) will prevent this module from using the compiled DUCET. * added t/default.t that uses DUCET. 0.53 Sun Feb 14 20:46:27 2010 - Now UCA Revision 18 (based on Unicode 5.1.0). - DUCET is also updated (for Unicode 5.1.0) as Collate/allkeys.txt, which is not required to test this module. - U+9FBC..U+9FC3 are new CJK unified ideographs. 0.52 Thu Oct 13 21:51:09 2005 - The Unicode::Collate->new method does not destroy user's $_ any longer. (thanks to Jon Warbrick for bug report) 0.51 Sun May 29 20:21:19 2005 - Added the latest DUCET (for Unicode 4.1.0) as Collate/allkeys.txt, which is not required to test this module. - Added INSTALL section in POD. 0.50 Sun May 8 20:26:39 2005 - Now UCA Revision 14 (based on Unicode 4.1.0). - Some tests are modified. - Added cjkrange.t, ignor.t, override.t in t. - Added META.yml. 0.40 Sat Apr 24 06:54:40 2004 - Now a table file is searched in @INC. 0.33 Sat Dec 13 14:07:27 2003 - documentation improvement: in "entry", "overrideHangul", etc. 0.32 Wed Dec 3 23:38:18 2003 - A matching part from index(), match() etc. will include illegal code points (as well as ignorable characters) following a grapheme. - Contraction with illegal code point will be invalid. - Added t/view.t. - Added some tests in t/illegal.t. - Separated t/altern.t and t/rearrang.t from t/test.t. - modified XSUB internals. 0.31 Sun Nov 16 15:40:15 2003 - Illegal code points (surrogate and noncharacter; they are definitely ignorable) will be distinguished from NULL ("\0"); but porting is not successful in the case of ((Pure Perl) and (Perl 5.7.3 or before)). If perl 5.6.X is used, XSUB may help it in place of broken CORE::unpack('U*') in older perl. - added illegal.t and illegalp.t in t. - added XSUB where some functions are implemented in XSUB. Pure Perl is also supported. 0.30 Mon Oct 13 21:26:37 2003 - fix: Completely ignorable in table should be able to be overridden by non-ignorable in entry. - fix: Maximum length for contraction must not be shortened by a shorter contraction following in table and/or entry. - added t/normal.t. - some doc fixes 0.29 Mon Oct 13 12:18:23 2003 - now UCA Version 11 (but no functionality is different from Version 9). - supported 'hangul_terminator'. - fix: Base_Unicode_Version falsely returns Perl's Unicode version. C4 in UTS #10 requires UTS's Unicode version. - For variable weighting, 'variable' is recommended and 'alternate' is deprecated. - added version() method. - added hangtype.t, trailwt.t, variable.t, and version.t in t. 0.28 Sat Sep 06 20:16:01 2003 - Fixed another inconsistency under (normalization => undef): Non-contiguous contraction is always neglected. - Fixed: according to S2.1 in UTS #10, a blocked combining character should not be contracted. One test in t/test.t was wrong, then removed. - Added t/contract.t. - (normalization => "prenormalized") is able to be used. 0.27 Sun Aug 31 22:23:17 2003 some improvements: - The maximum length of contracted CE was not checked (v0.22 to v0.26). Collation of a large string including a first letter of a contraction that is not a part of that contraction (say, 'c' of 'ca' where 'ch' is defined) was too slow, inefficient. - A form name for 'normalization', no longer restricted to /^(?:NF)?K?[CD]\z/, will be allowed as long as Unicode::Normalize::normalize() accepts it, since Unicode::Normalize or UAX #15 may be changed/enhanced in future. - When Hangul syllables are decomposed under undef>, contraction among jamo (LV, VT, LVT) derived from the same Hangul syllable is allowed. - Added t/hangul.t. 0.26 Sun Aug 03 22:23:17 2003 - fix: an expansion in which a CE is level 3 ignorable and others are not was wrongly made level 3 ignorable as a whole entry. (In DUCET, some precomposed characters in Musical Symbols are so) 0.25 Mon Jun 06 23:20:17 2003 - fix Makefile.PL. - internal tweak (again): pack_U() and unpack_U(). 0.24 Thu Apr 02 23:12:54 2003 - internal tweak for (?un)pack 'U'. 0.23 Wed Sep 04 19:25:20 2002 - fix: scalar match() no longer returns an lvalue substr ref. - fix: "Ignorable after variable" should be made level 3 ignorable even if alternate => 'blanked'. - Now a grapheme may contain trailing level 2, level 3, and completely ignorable characters. 0.22 Mon Sep 02 23:15:14 2002 - New File: t/index.t. (The new t/test.t excludes tests for index.) - tweak on index(). POSITION is supported. - add match, gmatch, subst, gsubst methods. - fix: ignorable after variable in 'shift'-variable weight. 0.21 Sat Aug 03 10:24:00 2002 - upgrade keys.txt and t/test.t for UCA Version 9. 0.20 Fri Jul 26 02:15:25 2002 - now UCA Version 9. - U+FDD0..U+FDEF are new non-characters. - fix: whitespace characters before @backwards etc. in a table file. - now values for 'alternate', 'backwards', etc., which are explicitly specified via new(), are preferred to those specified in a table file. 0.12 Sun May 05 09:43:10 2002 - add new methods, ->UCA_Version and ->Base_Unicode_Version. - test fix: removed the needless requirement of Unicode::Normalize. [reported by David Hand] 0.11 Fri May 03 02:28:10 2002 - fix: now derived collation elements can be used for Hangul Jamo when their weights are not defined. [reported by Andreas J. Koenig] - fix: rearrangements had not worked. - mentioned pleblem on index() in BUGS. - more documents, more tests. - tag names for 'alternate' are case-insensitive (i.e. 'SHIFTed' etc.). - The value for the keys "overrideCJK", "overrideHangul", "rearrange" has a special behavior (different from default). 0.10 Tue Dec 11 23:26:42 2001 - now you are allowed to use no table file. - fix: fetching CE with two or more combining characters. 0.09 Sun Nov 11 17:02:40:18 2001 - add the following methods: eq, ne, lt, le, gt, le. - relies on &Unicode::Normalize::getCombinClass() in place of %Unicode::Normalize::Combin (the hash is not defined in the XS version of Unicode::Normalize). then you should install Unicode::Normalize 0.10 or later. - now independent of Lingua::KO::Hangul::Util (this module does decomposition of Hangul syllables for itself) 0.08 Mon Aug 20 22:40:18 2001 - add the index method. 0.07 Thu Aug 16 23:42:02 2001 - rename the module name to Unicode::Collate. 0.06 Thu Aug 16 23:18:36 2001 - add description of the getSortKey method. 0.05 Mon Aug 13 22:23:11 2001 - bug fix: on the things of 4.2.1, UTR #10 - getSortKey returns a string, but not an arrayref. 0.04 Mon Aug 13 22:23:11 2001 - some bugs are fixed. - some tailoring parameters are added. 0.03 Mon Aug 06 06:26:35 2001 - modify README 0.02 Sun Aug 05 20:20:01 2001 - some fix 0.01 Sun Jul 29 16:16:15 2001 - original version; created by h2xs 1.21 with options -A -X -n Sort::UCA
