version 2.005; 2010-07-30 * in XS, use the correct "PREINIT:" instead of "INIT:" to introduce variable declarations * in XS, use PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT for efficiency * use simpler "parent" pragma in place of "base" * check for required Perl version at runtime * use full stricture in test suite * also test POD coverage of pure Perl implementation * correct spelling of "build_recommends" in Build.PL * in Build.PL, explicitly set needs_compiler to avoid bogus auto-dependency on ExtUtils::CBuilder * in Build.PL, explicitly declare configure-time requirements * remove bogus "exit 0" from Build.PL * add MYMETA.yml to .cvsignore version 2.004; 2009-03-15 * add a (hideously slow) pure Perl backup implementation for systems that can't handle XS modules * comprehensive UTF-8 tests, with non-ASCII test vectors, testing all vectors both downgraded and upgraded, in a way that also works on perl v5.6 * add casts for pointer target signedness, and other small changes to the C code, to avoid compiler warnings * small POD markup changes version 2.003; 2009-03-02 * bugfix: avoid memory leak when croaking * bugfix: ensure appropriate alignment of qword struct for 64-bit arithmetic on strict-alignment 64-bit systems * add backward-compatibility definition of bytes_from_utf8() function * disable, pending further analysis, assembler versions of the code that have been observed to result in compilation failures on some systems * remove ununsed dword_t and qword_t structs from the C code * use full stricture in Build.PL version 2.002; 2007-09-17 * bugfix: correctly handle UTF8-encoded scalars * don't use ppport.h, because it wasn't doing anything for perl v5.6+ * test POD syntax and coverage * build with Module::Build instead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker * rearrange source tree to fit Module::Build convention * complete dependency list * include signature in distribution * in documentation, separate "license" section from "copyright" section version 2.001; 2006-08-30 * add vms_username() and vms_password() functions for syntax checking and canonicalisation version 2.0; 2006-08-27 * rewrite by Zefram: based on a newer branch of Shawn Clifford's C code; proper Perlish error handling; allow arbitrary byte strings (including embedded NULs); new documentation; many test vectors version 1.0; 2003-09-11 * original version by <mikem@open.com.au>
