Changes for version 1.00 - 2002-11-11

  • new() can cope with a hashref (not only a module name).
  • add UTF16BE.pm and UTF16LE.pm.
  • Surrogate characters are excluded from the character order in String::Multibyte::UTF8. (Now the next to U+D7FF is U+E000.)
  • bug fix: strtr() did not carp even if 1st parameter is a reference to a malformed string, and VERBOSE is true.
  • Unicode.pm revived (only for Perl 5.8.0 or later). Some tests are provided for Unicode.pm. These tests will be skipped silently on an older Perl.
