0.07 Thu Jun 13 2002
- documentation changes
0.08 Sat Jun 15 2002
- added method get_version()
- used non-idiomatic syntax for 'foreach' in hope of making module more backwardly compatible
- to free up memory, zeroed out %seenA and %seenB when no longer needed

0.11 Thu Jun 20 2002
- corrected errors in POD that caused HTML to display incorrectly
0.12 Sat Jul 13 2002
- major expansion
- capability to accelerate processing of comparisons of 2 lists
when only 1 comparison method is expected to be called
- capability to compare more than 2 lists at a time
- introduction of methods including:
get_shared()
get_nonintersection()
print_subset_map()
print_equivalence_map()
- not released to CPAN due to errors in README and Changes
0.13 Sat Aug 03 2002
- corrected documentation errors found in v0.12
- released to CPAN
0.14 Sun Aug 18 2002
- commented out 'use warnings;' to permit module to run on pre-5.6 versions
- corrected one error in POD
- removed e-mail addresses of authors of other modules from POD
0.15 Sat Sep 07 2002
- conformed CPAN addresses of other modules to new structure of search.cpan.org
0.16 Sat Mar 08 2003
- for each method which returned an array, added an analogous method which
returns a reference to that array
0.17 Thu May 22 2003
- eliminated certain synthetic variables
- created List::Compare::SeenHash
0.18 Sun Jun 1 2003
- added methods member_which(), single_member_which()
0.19 Sun Jun 1 2003
- added methods member_any(), single_member_any()
- fixed annoying carping messages when running 'make test'
0.20 Fri Jun 6 2003
- updated documentation discussing changes since v0.17
- changed names of recently added methods to is_member_which(), is_member_which_ref(),
are_members(), is_member_any(), are_members_any()
0.21 Sun Oct 26 2003
- added functional interface to list comparison functions: List::Compare::Functional; this required changes in List::Compare::Base::Accelerated and the creation of List::Compare::Base::_Engine
0.22 Sun Nov 23 2003
- corrected conceptual flaw in List::Compare::SeenHash so as to exclude values in a seen-hash mathematically equal to zero
- implemented 'unsorted' option for list comparisons
0.23 [Accidentally skipped.]
0.24 Sun Mar 28 2004
- first implementation of 'multiple accelerated' mode wherein user can request speedier processing of more than two lists when only one comparison among the lists is sought
- converted test suite to use Test::Simple
0.25 Sun Apr 4 2004
- continued implementation of 'multiple accelerated' mode; applied to List::Compare::SeenHash and List::Compare::Functional
- modification of interfaces to methods/functions are_members_which() and are_members_any throughout; items to be tested must be passed (by reference) as an anonymous array rather than as a flat list
0.26 Sun Apr 11 2004
- List::Compare::SeenHash and associated tests deprecated
- capacity to pass references to seen-hashes to constructor now
transferred directly into List::Compare
- corrections to POD
0.27 Sun Apr 18 2004
- corrections to POD
0.28 Sun Apr 25 2004
- implementation of is_LdisjointR
- correction of error in tests of multiple-accelerated mode
- correction of error in internal subroutine _argument_checker_0
- further implication of deprecation of List::Compare::SeenHash is that all the code in List::Compare::Base::Regular, L:C:B:Accelerated, L:C:B:Multiple and L:C:B:Multiple::Accelerated is no longer shared between List::Compare and List::Compare::SeenHash and hence can be taken back into List::Compare; thereby eliminating the 'use base' calls from List::Compare.
0.29 Sun May 16 2004
- implementation of alternative ('Adlerian') interface wherein a single hash reference is passed to constructor or function
0.30 Fri May 21 2004
- documentation corrections only
0.31 Sun Aug 15 2004
- added methods get_unique_all() and get_complement_all(); added 3335
tests; repositioned most methods in List::Compare::Base::_Engine to
List::Compare::Accelerated as they were no longer also being used in
List::Compare::Functional; other internal code clean-up
0.32 Sun Sep 18 2005
- No changes in functionality. Distribution restructured so that modules
are now underneath the 'lib/' directory.
0.33 Sun Feb 19 2006
- Documentation changes only. Support for List-Compare is now offered via
dedicated mailing list.
0.34 Mon Nov 5 18:35:15 EST 2007
- Add require 5.6 to Makefile.PL.
0.35 Sun May 18 19:54:32 EDT 2008
- Fix bug reported by Charles Bailey. In object-oriented interface, two
lists case, get_shared and get_shared_ref should default to
get_intersection and get_intersection_ref.
- Complete overhaul of test suite. Tests are now grouped by interface in
a more logical order.
0.36 Fri May 23 21:41:55 EDT 2008
- IO::CaptureOutput was mispositioned: should have been directly under t/
rather than under t/Test/.
0.37 Sat Jun 7 19:46:52 EDT 2008
- Tests refined and code refactored so as to achieve 100% subroutine,
statement, branch and condition coverage by test suite as measured by
Devel::Cover. Some cleanup of POD.
0.38 Thu Sep 5 21:09:10 EDT 2013
- Update support information; no longer using dedicated mailing list.
0.39 Fri Jul 4 15:38:24 EDT 2014
- Repository migrated from Subversion to git. Development repository
initiated at https://github.com/jkeenan/list-compare.
0.40 Sat Feb 7 08:39:06 EST 2015
- Eliminated three unnecessary hash assignments.
0.41 Sun Feb 8 20:38:46 EST 2015
- Revised List::Compare::Functional::_intersection_engine() to eliminate
need to call _calculate_xintersection_only() and
_calculate_hash_intersection();
0.42 Wed Feb 11 20:57:43 EST 2015
- Improve performance of four List::Compare::Functional functions.
get_nonintersection
get_nonintersection_ref
get_symmetric_difference
get_symmetric_difference_ref
0.43 Thu Feb 12 19:14:35 EST 2015
- Improve performance of two List::Compare::Functional functions.
get_shared
get_shared_ref
0.44 Sun Feb 15 14:40:06 EST 2015
- Improve performance of complement-related functions in both functional
and object-oriented interfaces:
get_complement
get_complement_ref
get_complement_all
