(Markus Spann)

* Get rid of MYMETA
2.06 - Fri May 31 15:41:48 2013
* Bump to a stable user release. There are no code changes.
2.05_03 - Sun Aug 5 14:50:30 2012
Fix test with now-valid group code (RT 78671)
2.05_01 - Tue Jul 19 07:12:18 2011
* Update the URL for the Worldcat stuff so xisbn works.
* Various distro cleanups.
2.05 - Sun Jan 25 00:00:17 2009
* Updated for latest data in Business::ISBN::Data
2.04_01 - Mon Oct 27 12:08:03 2008
* Revert the GD prereq. A lot of testers have borked GD
installs.
* Require 5.8. Some of the new stuff isn't playing well with
5.6
2.04 - Sun Oct 26 18:29:20 2008
* Fix tests that used 99902 as a bad prefix. That now
belongs to Gabon.
2.03 - Sat Oct 27 02:48:15 2007
* adjustments to make png_barcode.t actually work (RT #30291)
2.03 - Tue Oct 2 03:17:34 2007
* Fixed minor distro problems and bumped to release version 2.03
2.02_05 - Wed Sep 12 13:27:09 2007
* Explore RT #29292. I don't seem to have the problem with
hyphens for ISBN-13, but let's see what CPAN Testers has to
say
2.02_04 - Sat Sep 1 14:55:00 2007
[BUGFIX] ISBN13 was returning "Bookland" for all groups, but
it shouldn't do that. Now it returns the same thing you'd
get from ISBN10 (e.g. "English", "German", ... ).
2.02_03 - Sat Sep 1 04:12:49 2007
[BUGFIX] RT 29089 - I had the wrong _max_length for ISBN13. That 13
is the hint that it should be 13. :)
2.02_02 - Sat Aug 25 05:57:22 2007
[FEATURE] added exportable function valid_isbn_checksum that
takes care of all of the object stuff for you and just gives
you the answer. In previous docs, this was called is_valid_checksum
even though that conflicted with an object method. It was
documented but never implemented. Now it's there. :)
[BUGFIX] now should pass tests under 5.6.2, after a bit of
backporting. Upgrade already people! :)
2.02_01 - Fri Aug 17 14:00:51 2007
* Don't import import() from Exporter. There are a lot of people
(apparently) using very old perls, not just CPAN Testers.
2.02 - Wed Aug 15 03:11:25 2007
* fixes RT #28843: an ISBN-13 with a bad prefix shouldn't croak,
but return an object that explains the error.
2.01 - Sun Aug 12 22:28:01 2007
* Official release of Business::ISBN to handle ISBN-13
* Does not handle 979- numbers yet (need publisher data for that)
* Does handle 978-numbers, which is the 10 digit ISBN with a
different "country code", so it uses the same publisher data
* There are significant API changes to handle the new stuff. It's
not so bad, but test it before you rip out the old Business::ISBN
stuff.
2.00_01 - Wed Mar 14 00:38:18 2007
* DEVELOPER RELEASE
* Completely redone internals to handle ISBN-10 and ISBN-13
* Some interface changes to Business::ISBN 1.x
* Removed exportable functions.
1.84 - Tue Jan 9 23:10:00 2007
* updated copyright and license info
* no code changes, so no need to upgrade
1.82 - Sun Aug 14 11:42:18 2005
* fixed up publisher code validation, since 0 can be a valid
code. I hadn't run into one of those before, and now I know
I wasn't doing that right.
* This is an important code change. Everyone should upgrade.
1.81 - Sat Aug 13 22:08:40 2005
* exposed the country group name as the country() method
1.80 - Tue Mar 8 16:58:47 2005
* added POD coverage tests and documented the uncovered methods
it found
1.79 - Tue Dec 14 05:00:37 2004
* Updated tests for new ISBN data: previously invalid ISBNs are now
valid. The latest data is in Business::ISBN::Data 1.09 and is current
as of November 2004.
* You don't need this version of Business::ISBN if you already have it,
although you should get the latest Business::ISBN::Data.
1.78 - Sun Nov 21 19:46:40 2004
* Require the latest version on Business::ISBN::Data, which was
unbundled in the last version. You need Business::ISBN::Data 1.08
to pass the latest tests that check for the new ranges the ISBN
folks assigned a couple of years ago.
1.77 - Wed Oct 27 02:39:17 2004
* removed Business::ISBN::Data, which is now a separate module so
you can update the data without updating the rest of the stuff.
Previously, CPAN.pm would install Business::ISBN::Data as a
prerequisite, and this distribution would come along and overwrite
it with old data. That was a bad thing.
1.76 - Fri Oct 8 16:12:51 2004
* somehow this module went missing from CPAN, so here it is again
* no need to upgrade if you have the previous version
1.74 - Thu Sep 2 17:17:20 2004
* another distro fix: some documentation cleanups, and the README
is now in MANIFEST. You do not need to upgrade if you already
have installed this module.
1.73 - Thu Sep 2 16:21:10 2004
* this is a distro fix only. if you already have Business::ISBN,
you don't need this
1.72 - Wed Feb 11 16:18:30 2004
* removed errant File::Find::Rule use
* Check for modules in png_barcode before require-ing them
1.71 - Wed Jan 28 13:00:38 2004
* added xISBN support
* removed File::Find::Rule, Test::Pod, Test::Prereq dependencies
1.69 Thu Sep 5 01:18:26 CDT 2002
- documentation fixes - that's it
1.68 Wed Sep 4 15:51:29 CDT 2002
- converted to Test::More
- fixed ean_to_isbn to handle new EAN prefix 979
1.60 Sun Apr 1 17:06:28 EDT 2001
- fixed some POD problems
- no changes to the actual code
1.59 Tue Mar 27 11:51:42 EST 2001
- fixed some -w dirty internals
- clarified documentation for as_string method
1.58 Mon Mar 26 19:47:03 EST 2001
- there was an error in test.pl that failed to
identify a bug. Andy Lester <andy@petdance.com>
found it though. the constructor was always
setting $obj->is_valid to BAD_CHECKSUM. that
is fixed.
- version 1.57 should not be used at all. it
is severely broken due to that bug.
1.57 Wed Mar 21 18:07:17 EST 2001
- fixed -w dirty line in is_valid_checksum
(identified by Andy Lester <andy@petdance.com>)
1.56 Mon Mar 12 10:03:37 EST 2001
EVERYONE SHOULD UPGRADE TO THIS VERSION
- fixed problem parsing ISBNs without valid
country codes which would cause an infinite
loop. (identified by Andy Lester <andy@petdance.com>)
- this module is now kept in a local CVS repository
- added symbolic constants to replace magic return
values. see the docs for details.
- fixed is_valid_checksum which would issue warnings
if the string was less than ten characters
(identified by Adam Thompson <athompso@athompso.net>)
- added a test.pl which still needs more tests to
reach all of the code.
1.51 Wed Jan 24 14:22:02 EST 2001
- version 1.5 fixed some bugs with checksums
- version 1.51 has a few minor doc fixes
- now we have sane version numbers. :)
20001010 Sat Sep 9 00:33:07 EDT 2000
- fixed some missing arguments to _is_valid.
- updated contact information
- added some real tests to test.pl
- everyone should update their installations
19990112 Mon Jan 11 18:03:07 EST 1999
- added "use Exporter" which was missing.
19980901 Tue Sep 01 15:15:30 1998
- added support for EAN-13 (isbn -> ean, ean -> isbn )
- cleaned up other nagging problems
- if you don't want EAN13, then you don't need this update
19980329 Sun Mar 29 03:29:16 1998
- original version; created by h2xs 1.18
- gutsy enough to actually release it for testing and comments
