CHANGES IN VERSION 2.119
Revision history for Perl extension Regexp::Common.
2.119 Sat Jan 1 17:57:01 CET 2005 - Changed -keep settings of $RE {zip} {US}. - Replaced occurrences of '\d' with '[0-9]' in number.pm and net.pm, because with Unicode more characters than just 0 - 9 will match '\d'. - Moved part of the tests of t/test_comment.t into different files in t/comment. - t/Common.pm now also tests OO and sub versions. - Fixed regex for J comments. - $VERSION nit in Regexp::Common::URI::RFC2384 - POD nit in Regexp::Common::_support (Mike Castle) - POD nit in Regexp::Common::comment. - 176048 tests in 53 files.
2.118 Wed Dec 15 00:16:09 CET 2004 - Introduced Regexp::Common::_support. - Disabled the '-prefix' option for Danish zip codes if the Perl version is older than 5.005_03, as they triggered bugs. 5.005_03 and more recent versions of Perl don't have this problem. - Fixed the generic OO routines. (They never worked correctly). - 134191 tests in 49 files.
2.117 Thu Jul 1 12:11:47 CEST 2004 - Fixed problems with squares and 32bit integer Perls. - Pod nits in Regexp::Common (Jim Cromie) - $VERSION fix in Regexp::Common::URI::RFCC2384 (Mike Arms) - Discuss unwanted matching in Regexp::Common::net (Charles Thomas) - 132238 tests in 48 files.
2.116 Wed Jun 30 11:37:45 CEST 2004 - Restricted recognition of squares to numbers less than 9000000000000000, to avoid problems with round-off errors. - Fixed an off-by-one error in t/zip/spain.t which caused some test to fail when they shouldn't. - 132235 tests in 48 files.
2.115 Wed Jun 9 23:59:13 2004 - Patterns for comments of ABC, Caml, CLU, COBOL, ECMAScript, Icon, J, JavaScript, Lisp, M, MUMPS. - Patterns for postal codes of Norway, Italy and Spain. - Patterns for US SSN. - New way of doing tests using t::Common, giving more control to test program. - Random generators in t::Common. - Cut down on tests in test_lingua_palindrome.t. - Fixed bug in t/zip/australia.t could cause an infinite loop. - 132225 tests in 48 files.
2.114 Sun May 25 21:34:56 2003 - Fix to t/zip/greenland.t to avoid generating valid zipcodes when testing for failures. - Fixes to t/URI/gopher.t and t/URI/wais.t to avoid warnings. - Australian postal codes now accept '0909'. (Ron Savage) - Added comments for 'C--', 'C#', 'Cg', 'Nickle', 'PL/SQL', 'QML' and SLIDE. - Fixed the assignment of the version number to $VERSION in 6 classes. - 158287 tests in 44 files. - 134 patterns in 11 classes and 12 subclasses.
2.113 Wed Apr 2 22:58:46 2003 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE! Regexp::Common used to set $; to '='. This no longer happens, because setting $; breaks Filter::Simple. (Report by Tim Maher). This means that regexps of the form $RE{foo}{"-flag=value"} no longer work! They need to be written as $RE{foo}{"-flag$;value"} or as $RE{foo}{-flag => "value"}.
When defining patterns using the pattern function, a = still
needs to be used to separate the flag from its default value.
This has not been changed.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
- 157762 tests in 44 files.
- 127 patterns in 11 classes and 12 subclasses.2.112 Wed Mar 26 00:25:04 2003 - prospero and pop URIs - Fixed documentation of Regexp::Common::lingua to document the lingua stuff instead of Regexp::Common::zip (Murat). - 157761 tests in 44 files. - 127 patterns in 11 classes and 12 subclasses.
2.111 Wed Mar 12 23:30:03 2003 - Introduced the -i switch. Important if you are using the functional interface and want to be able to match case insensitive. (Request from Tim Maher). - Introduced the -nospace switch for $RE{net}{domain} (Request from Juerd). - Decimal numbers. - WAIS URIs. - More generic setup to define comments for various languages. - Expanded and redid the documentation for comment.pm. - Comments for Advisor, Advsys, Alan, Algol 60, Algol 68, B, BASIC (mvEnterprise), Forth, Fortran (both fixed and free form), fvwm2, mutt, Oberon, 6 versions of Pascal, PEARL (one of the at least four...), PL/B, PL/I, slrn, Squeak. - 151114 tests in 42 files. - 125 patterns in 11 classes and 10 subclasses.

2.109 Mon Feb 10 22:41:45 2003 - Split out URI.pm into a myriad of files. There is a separate file for each URI scheme, and a separate file for each RFC that's used. URI.pm requires all the URI scheme files, and constructs the combining URI regexp. - file URIs. - Cut down on the number of tests run for certain classes. - 123810 tests in 36 files. - 95 patterns in 11 classes and 7 subclasses.

2.106 Sun Feb 2 18:42:08 2003 - Makefile.PL fixes for Windows.
2.105 Sun Feb 2 04:15:54 2003 (In remembrance of the Columbia crew) - Australian postal codes. - Reorganized t/ directory by adding subdirectories. - 88 patterns in 11 classes. - 163355 tests in 31 files.

1.29 Thu Jan 16 12:07:02 2003 - New since last release: Squares, Roman numbers, TV URIs, Palindromes, Dutch and US postal codes. - 131710 tests in 28 files. 11 pattern classes.
1.20 Tue Aug 27 19:06:13 CEST 2002 - Balanced patterns can now take multiple sets of arbitrary strings as delimiters. - Fax URIs. - More comment patterns.
0.09 Tue Aug 6 16:44:57 CEST 2002 - Fixed $RE{URI}{tel}, local phone numbers can have future extensions as well.

0.07 Mon Aug 5 14:31:17 CEST 2002 - Fixed 'Regex::' and 'Rexexp::' typos. - Split t/test_uris.t into t/test_ftp_uri.t, t/test_http_uri.t and t/test_uris.t.
0.06 Mon Aug 5 00:56:19 CEST 2002 - URI regexes. Currently only HTTP and FTP. More to come.
0.05 Thu Aug 1 12:01:04 CEST 2002 - Improved the 'subs' method of MAC addresses.
0.04 Thu Aug 1 01:18:37 CEST 2002 - Added the set of $RE{net}{MAC} regexes, by request of Iain Truskett <spoon@cpan.org>. - Required minimum Perl version for regexes for Haskell and Dylan comment, as they can be recursive. - Petdance suggested regexes for LOGO comments.
0.03 Wed Jul 31 15:21:11 CEST 2002 - Made the entire setup more modular, giving each set of patterns its own .pm file. Loading all goes via Regexp::Common though. - use strict; everywhere - it also runs under -W (localized). - Added comment regexes for many more languages (26 currently). - Fixed some small bugs.
0.02 Tue Jul 23 23:18:15 2002 - Added $RE{comment}{HTML}
