Revision history for Perl extension Business::ISBN. 2.06 - Fri May 31 15:41:48 2013 * Bump to a stable user release. There are no code changes. 2.05_03 - Sun Aug 5 14:50:30 2012 Fix test with now-valid group code (RT 78671) 2.05_01 - Tue Jul 19 07:12:18 2011 * Update the URL for the Worldcat stuff so xisbn works. * Various distro cleanups. 2.05 - Sun Jan 25 00:00:17 2009 * Updated for latest data in Business::ISBN::Data 2.04_01 - Mon Oct 27 12:08:03 2008 * 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 - Sun Oct 26 18:29:20 2008 * Fix tests that used 99902 as a bad prefix. That now belongs to Gabon. 2.03 - Sat Oct 27 02:48:15 2007 * adjustments to make png_barcode.t actually work (RT #30291) 2.03 - Tue Oct 2 03:17:34 2007 * Fixed minor distro problems and bumped to release version 2.03 2.02_05 - Wed Sep 12 13:27:09 2007 * 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 - Sat Sep 1 14:55:00 2007 [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 - Sat Sep 1 04:12:49 2007 [BUGFIX] RT 29089 - I had the wrong _max_length for ISBN13. That 13 is the hint that it should be 13. :) 2.02_02 - Sat Aug 25 05:57:22 2007 [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 - Fri Aug 17 14:00:51 2007 * Don't import import() from Exporter. There are a lot of people (apparently) using very old perls, not just CPAN Testers. 2.02 - Wed Aug 15 03:11:25 2007 * fixes RT #28843: an ISBN-13 with a bad prefix shouldn't croak, but return an object that explains the error. 2.01 - Sun Aug 12 22:28:01 2007 * 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 - Wed Mar 14 00:38:18 2007 * 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 - Tue Jan 9 23:10:00 2007 * updated copyright and license info * no code changes, so no need to upgrade 1.82 - Sun Aug 14 11:42:18 2005 * 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 - Sat Aug 13 22:08:40 2005 * exposed the country group name as the country() method 1.80 - Tue Mar 8 16:58:47 2005 * added POD coverage tests and documented the uncovered methods it found 1.79 - Tue Dec 14 05:00:37 2004 * 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 - Sun Nov 21 19:46:40 2004 * 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 - Wed Oct 27 02:39:17 2004 * 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 - Fri Oct 8 16:12:51 2004 * somehow this module went missing from CPAN, so here it is again * no need to upgrade if you have the previous version 1.74 - Thu Sep 2 17:17:20 2004 * 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 - Thu Sep 2 16:21:10 2004 * this is a distro fix only. if you already have Business::ISBN, you don't need this 1.72 - Wed Feb 11 16:18:30 2004 * removed errant File::Find::Rule use * Check for modules in png_barcode before require-ing them 1.71 - Wed Jan 28 13:00:38 2004 * added xISBN support * removed File::Find::Rule, Test::Pod, Test::Prereq dependencies 1.69 Thu Sep 5 01:18:26 CDT 2002 - documentation fixes - that's it 1.68 Wed Sep 4 15:51:29 CDT 2002 - converted to Test::More - fixed ean_to_isbn to handle new EAN prefix 979 1.60 Sun Apr 1 17:06:28 EDT 2001 - fixed some POD problems - no changes to the actual code 1.59 Tue Mar 27 11:51:42 EST 2001 - fixed some -w dirty internals - clarified documentation for as_string method 1.58 Mon Mar 26 19:47:03 EST 2001 - there was an error in test.pl that failed to identify a bug. Andy Lester 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 Wed Mar 21 18:07:17 EST 2001 - fixed -w dirty line in is_valid_checksum (identified by Andy Lester ) 1.56 Mon Mar 12 10:03:37 EST 2001 EVERYONE SHOULD UPGRADE TO THIS VERSION - fixed problem parsing ISBNs without valid country codes which would cause an infinite loop. (identified by Andy Lester ) - 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 ) - added a test.pl which still needs more tests to reach all of the code. 1.51 Wed Jan 24 14:22:02 EST 2001 - version 1.5 fixed some bugs with checksums - version 1.51 has a few minor doc fixes - now we have sane version numbers. :) 20001010 Sat Sep 9 00:33:07 EDT 2000 - fixed some missing arguments to _is_valid. - updated contact information - added some real tests to test.pl - everyone should update their installations 19990112 Mon Jan 11 18:03:07 EST 1999 - added "use Exporter" which was missing. 19980901 Tue Sep 01 15:15:30 1998 - 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 Sun Mar 29 03:29:16 1998 - original version; created by h2xs 1.18 - gutsy enough to actually release it for testing and comments
