Revision history for Perl extension Text::Iconv.
0.01 Sat Aug 23 16:14:12 1997
- original version; created by h2xs 1.18
1.0 Sun Feb 27 16:50:11 MET 2000
- renamed to Text::Iconv.
1.1 Mon Dec 18 00:50:45 MET 2000
- works with Perl 5.6
- improved and expanded test script
- fixes core dumps with aborted conversions
- adds experimental class attribute/method raise_error
1.2 Fri Jul 27 10:46:56 METDST 2001
- converting undef now always returns undef
- since HP-UX seems to be the only platform where the second
argument to iconv() is *not* const char**, put an #ifdef
into Iconv.xs
1.3 Mon Jun 28 19:25:43 CEST 2004
- Makefile.PL now tries to detect the need for -liconv
- added retval() method to Text::Iconv objects, which returns the
iconv() return value (according to the Single UNIX Specification,
"the number of non-identical conversions performed")
- to make this possible, Text::Iconv objects are--on the C level--no
longer just the iconv handle, but a struct (which can contain other
information besides the handle)
1.4 Sun Jul 18 00:09:21 CEST 2004
- Added instance attribute raise_error and corresponding
method to control exception raising on a per-object basis.
- Reset shift state for state-dependent conversions.
- Makefile.PL now passes all options besides LIBS and INC to
MakeMaker, so options like INSTALLDIRS=vendor work again.
1.5 Thu Aug 30 14:42:08 CEST 2007
- Various small changes to make Text::Iconv compile on OpenVMS
(based on a patch by Peter (Stig) Edwards)
- Output buffer was always initialized to 5 bytes--this was
just for testing, but I'd forgotten to revert back to the
original code (detected via a bug report by Aldo LeTellier).
1.6 Sat Oct 13 00:16:30 CEST 2007
- Makefile.PL now uses File::Spec to portably specify the null
device. This should make it possible to build Text::Iconv
on Windows "out of the box".
- Added get_attr() and set_attr() methods. They provide an
interface to the iconvctl() function of GNU libiconv.
1.7 Wed Oct 17 15:49:56 CEST 2007
- Makefile.PL now explicitly declares "use 5.006;" since it
uses functionality like delete() for array elements.
- In Iconv.xs, moved the variable declarations in
ti_set_attr() and ti_get_attr() into the PREINIT: section.
This makes it possible to compile it using gcc 2.96.
