Fix test with now-valid group code (RT 78671)
2.05_01 - 2011-07-19

2.05 - 2009-01-25

2.04_01 - 2008-10-27
* 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 - 2008-10-26
* Fix tests that used 99902 as a bad prefix. That now
belongs to Gabon.
2.03 - 2007-10-27
* adjustments to make png_barcode.t actually work (RT #30291)
2.03 - 2007-10-02
* Fixed minor distro problems and bumped to release version 2.03
2.02_05 - 2007-09-12
* 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 - 2007-09-01
* [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 - 2007-09-01
* [BUGFIX] RT 29089 - I had the wrong _max_length for ISBN13. That 13
is the hint that it should be 13. :)
2.02_02 - 2007-08-25
* [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 - 2007-08-17
* Don't import import() from Exporter. There are a lot of people
(apparently) using very old perls, not just CPAN Testers.
2.02 - 2007-08-15
* fixes RT #28843: an ISBN-13 with a bad prefix shouldn't croak,
but return an object that explains the error.
2.01 - 2007-08-12
* 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 - 2007-03-14
* 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 - 2007-01-09
* updated copyright and license info
* no code changes, so no need to upgrade
1.82 - 2005-08-14
* 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 - 2005-08-13
* exposed the country group name as the country() method
1.80 - 2005-03-08
* added POD coverage tests and documented the uncovered methods
it found
1.79 - 2004-12-14
* 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 - 2004-11-21
* 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 - 2004-10-27
* 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 - 2004-10-08
* somehow this module went missing from CPAN, so here it is again
* no need to upgrade if you have the previous version
1.74 - 2004-09-02
* 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 - 2004-09-02
* this is a distro fix only. if you already have Business::ISBN,
you don't need this
1.72 - 2004-02-11
* removed errant File::Find::Rule use
* Check for modules in png_barcode before require-ing them
1.71 - 2004-01-28
* added xISBN support
* removed File::Find::Rule, Test::Pod, Test::Prereq dependencies
1.69 - 2002-09-05
* documentation fixes - that's it
1.68 - 2002-09-04
* converted to Test::More
* fixed ean_to_isbn to handle new EAN prefix 979
1.60 - 2001-04-01
* fixed some POD problems
* no changes to the actual code
1.59 - 2001-03-27
* fixed some -w dirty internals
* clarified documentation for as_string method
1.58 - 2001-03-26
* 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 - 2001-03-21
* fixed -w dirty line in is_valid_checksum
(identified by Andy Lester <andy@petdance.com>)
1.56 - 2001-03-12
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 - 2001-01-24
* version 1.5 fixed some bugs with checksums
* version 1.51 has a few minor doc fixes
* now we have sane version numbers. :)
20001010 - 2000-09-09
* fixed some missing arguments to _is_valid.
* updated contact information
* added some real tests to test.pl
* everyone should update their installations
19990112 - 1999-01-11
* added "use Exporter" which was missing.
19980901 - 1998-09-01
* 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 - 1998-03-29
* original version; created by h2xs 1.18
* gutsy enough to actually release it for testing and comments
