NAME

6       Locale::Codes::Changes - details changes to Locale::Codes
7

SYNOPSIS

9       This describes the changes made to modules in the Locale-Codes
10       distribution.  Major changes are marked with asterisks (*).  For the
11       most part, all modules have remained backward compatible at every
12       release, but occasionally a change is made which is backward
13       incompatible. These are marked with an exclamation mark (!).
14
15       As of 3.00, the codes are autogenerated from the standards. With each
16       release, codes will be re-generated and tested to see if any code
17       changed. Any time there are any changes to the codes, it will be
18       flagged below with a change: NEW CODE(s).
19
20       I intend to check for new codes four times a year (March, June,
21       September, December). I will also try to respond to requests for a
22       release due to changes made to the standards, so if a code changes that
23       you use, feel free to contact me.  Based on my available time and the
24       time until the next release is scheduled, I will try to do a release
25       any time the standards change.

VERSION 3.59 (2018-12-03 sbeck)

38       NEW CODE(s)
39       Removed travis file from the tarball
40           The tarball had a .travis.yml file in it that wasn't in the
41           MANIFEST file.  Since the MANIFEST file is automatically generated
42           by the perl mkmanifest tool, since it didn't see the .travis.yml
43           file, I have excluded it from the tarball.  Reported by Mohammad S
44           Anwar on GitHub (#10)

VERSION 3.55 (2017-11-17 sbeck)

61       NEW CODE(s)
62       (*) Deprecated in core
63           Because correct usage of any of the Locale::Codes modules requires
64           that they be kept up-to-date, I have long felt that it should not
65           be distributed as a core module.  After discussion on the
66           perl5-porters list, it is agreed, and the deprecation process has
67           been started.  Starting with perl 5.28.0, Locale-Codes will be
68           flagged as deprecated, and it will be removed in version 5.30.0 .
69
70           Thanks to p5p-porters (especially Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsaker) for
71           discussion and guidance.
72
73       Changes from a github pull request applied
74           A couple minor changes (updated .travis.yml to include newest
75           versions of perl; and a couple changes to pod_coverage.t) reported
76           by lancew on GitHub.
77
78       Got rid of Build.PL
79           Simplified things by only supporting one of Makefile.PL/Build.PL
80           (and the latter has been removed from perl core some time ago).  RT
81           123572
82
83       Fixed INSTALLDIRS
84           The behavior of installing core modules changed in 5.12 a bit, and
85           Makefile.PL now reflects that.  RT 123571

VERSION 3.54 (2017-09-01 sbeck)

89

VERSION 3.53 (2017-07-25 sbeck)

91       NEW CODE(s)
92       Fixed the default error condition in legacy modules.
93           With the addition of the OO module, better error handling was added
94           (and it was on by default).  The non-OO (legacy) modules did not
95           report errors, so code that uses them, would now behave differently
96           if invalid data were passed in.
97
98           I have turned off error handling by default in the legacy modules.
99           The show_errors method was added to each of the non-OO modules to
100           report errors if desired.

106

VERSION 3.51 (2017-04-10 sbeck)

108       NEW CODE(s)
109       Tests no longer require (.) in INC
110           As of perl 5.25.11, (.) is being removed from INC.  I had to adjust
111           the tests accordingly.
112

VERSION 3.50 (2017-03-01 sbeck)

114       NEW CODE(s)
115       (*) Rewrote as OO module
116           The core module (Locale::Codes) is now an OO module that can be
117           used directly.  All of the other modules (Locale::Codes::TYPE) are
118           still the older functional interfaces and remain unchanged.
119
120       Added some constants
121           Historically, the constant names used to identify the codesets have
122           been named inconsistently.  The original constants for codesets
123           are:
124
125              Type      Constants
126
127              country   LOCALE_CODE_*
128              currency  LOCALE_CURR_*
129              language  LOCALE_LANG_*
130
131              script    LOCALE_SCRIPT_*
132              langfam   LOCALE_LANGFAM_*
133              langvar   LOCALE_LANGVAR_*
134              langext   LOCALE_LANGEXT_*
135
136           For consistencies sake, I have added some new codes (which are
137           otherwise identical to the irregularly named codes):
138
139              country   LOCALE_COUNTRY_*
140              currency  LOCALE_CURRENCY_*
141              language  LOCALE_LANGUAGE_*
142
143           Going forward, all constants will include the full name of the code
144           type.
145
146       Non-OO modules are now generated
147           All non-OO modules are now automatically generated.  This will make
148           it easier to keep them 100% consistent as well as making it easier
149           to add new types of code sets.
150
151           All of the documentation for them is also generated except for the
152           description of the code sets.  That has been moved into the
153           Locale::Codes::Types document.
154
155       Fixed a bug where constants were not exported
156           Some of the constants for some of the newer code sets were not
157           exported properly.  This was fixed when I started generating the
158           non-OO modules, but was reported (after I had already fixed it in
159           development) as RT 119741 .

VERSION 3.42 (2016-11-30 sbeck)

162       Added Czech republic aliases back in
163           Common Czech republic aliases disappeared from the standards, so I
164           added them back in.  Rob Emery
165

VERSION 3.41 (2016-11-18 sbeck)

167       NEW CODE(s)
168           Jiri Bohac noted that they were needed so this was release a couple
169           weeks earlier than planned.

175       Added UN codes back in
176           The UN codes have been added back in as their own list of codes.
177           Jarkko Hietaniemi
178
179       Added GENC codes
180           The GENC codes have been added.  These are the new US Government
181           codes that replace the FIPS-10 codes.  They are based on, but not
182           identical to the ISO 3166 codes.
183

VERSION 3.38 (2016-03-02 sbeck)

185       NEW CODE(s)
186       Tests reworked
187           Improved test suite (and made some changes to Codes.pm) based on
188           Devel::Cover.  Test suite now has 100% coverage.

VERSION 3.36 (2015-09-01 sbeck)

194       NEW CODE(s)
195       (!) Removed alias_code function
196           The alias_code function was preserved for backward compatibility,
197           but has been deprecated since 3.20.  It has been removed.
198

VERSION 3.35 (2015-06-01 sbeck)

200       NEW CODE(s)
201       Documentation improvements
202           Many changes to the formatting in the documentation to improve it.

VERSION 3.33 (2014-12-01 sbeck)

209       NEW CODE(s)
210       Filled out LOCALE_LANG_TERM codeset
211           The terminologic language codes only included codes from languages
212           where the ISO specified both a bibliographic code and a
213           terminologic code.  If both are not specified, the better solution
214           was to use the code for both code sets.  Prompted by a suggestion
215           by Jarkko Hietaniemi.
216
217       Moved repository to GitHub

225       Bug fixes
226           Fixed a bug in the scripts used to extract data from spreadsheets
227           that prevented the SHP currency code from being found.  RT 94229
228

VERSION 3.30 (2014-03-04 sbeck)

230       NEW CODE(s)
231       alias_code remove date set
232           The alias_code function exists for backward compatibility.  It has
233           been deprecated since version 3.20 when it was replaced by
234           rename_country_code.  The alias_code function will be removed in
235           the December 2014 release.
236
237       Bug fixes
238           Fixed a problem that was preventing rename_* functions to not work.
239           RT 92680.
240

VERSION 3.29 (2014-01-27 sbeck)

242       NEW CODE(s)
243       ISO 3166 country codes improved
244           ISO 3166 is now browsable online (previously, only the alpha-2
245           codes were) and it contains more accurate information than the
246           previous sources, so I've switched to using the full standard.  In
247           response to RT 92303 which reported some codes being 'retired' that
248           should not have been.
249
250       Bug fixes
251           Fixed the pod test files so that pod tests won't get run at install
252           time.  In response to RT 91167.

256

VERSION 3.27 (2013-09-03 sbeck)

258       NEW CODE(s)
259       * FIPS-10 country codes removed
260           As of June, the FIPS codes are not being published in their
261           entirety.  Only changes to the codes are published.  This adds a
262           huge layer of complexity to maintaining the set, which is not worth
263           doing considering that the set is deprecated.  As such, the code
264           set is no longer supported.
265

VERSION 3.26 (2013-06-03 sbeck)

267       Documentation fixes
268           Some of the examples were not correct.  RT 84589

VERSION 3.24 (2012-12-03 sbeck)

276       NEW CODE(s)
277       Syria alias
278           Syria added as an alias.  RT 82747
279
280       FIPS-10 country codes deprecated
281           The FIPS-10 document is being withdrawn.  It was deprecated in
282           2008, and is being updated now only until all the agencies that use
283           it have switched to something else.  The current version no longer
284           lists the long names for countries.  These long names (such as
285           'Republic of Albania' for Albania) only appeared in the old FIPS-10
286           document which is no longer available, so they are no longer
287           available in this module.
288
289           I will continue to support the FIPS-10 codeset as long as it is
290           available, but at that point, it will be withdrawn immediately.  If
291           an official end-of-life date is announced, I will include a notice
292           here.  Otherwise, support for the codeset will be discontinued when
293           the document is withdrawn.
294
295           You are encouraged to no longer use the FIPS-10 codeset.
296
297       Domain country codes now come from ISO 3166
298           The IANA domain codes have changed slightly.  The IANA no longer
299           publishes a list of countries associated with their codes.
300           Instead, they use the ISO 3166 codes and country names.  However,
301           they support a few non-standard codes, so I will continue to
302           maintain this codeset.  The domain codes are now lowercase to
303           correspond to the ISO 3166 codes.

311           Changed 'require 5.002' (which dated back to the version 2.xx
312           Locale-Codes) to 'require 5.006'.  Some features used in Locale-
313           Codes are not supported that far back.  Nicholas Clark
314
315       Sorted deprecated codes
316           The codes in the generated deprecated codes modules were not sorted
317           making version diffs bigger than they should be.  Nicholas Clark

325           The code2XXX, XXX2code, all_XXX_codes, and all_XXX_names functions
326           now support retired codes.  RT 71124

334       Codesets may be specified by name
335           All codesets may be specified by a constant or by their name now.
336           Previously, they were specified only by a constant.
337
338       alias_code deprecated
339           The alias_code function exists for backward compatibility.  It has
340           been replaced by rename_country_code .  The alias_code function
341           will be removed sometime after September, 2013 .
342
343       Code cleanup
344           All work is now done in the central module (Locale::Codes).
345           Previously, some was still done in the wrapper modules
346           (Locale::Codes::*) but that is gone now.
347
348       Added LangFam module
349           Added Language Family codes (langfam) as defined in ISO 639-5.

352       NEW CODE(s)
353       No longer use CIA data
354           The CIA world added non-standard values, so I no longer use it as a
355           source of data.  Based on a report by Michiel Beijen.

370
371           Fixed the return value for the all_XXX_codes and all_XXX_names
372           functions.  RT 69100
373
374       Reorganized code
375           Reorganized modules to move Locale::MODULE to Locale::Codes::MODULE
376           to allow for cleaner future additions.  The original four modules
377           (Locale::Language, Locale::Currency, Locale::Country,
378           Locale::Script) will continue to work, but all new sets of codes
379           will be added in the Locale::Codes namespace.

VERSION 3.10 (2010-02-18 sbeck)

416       NEW CODE(s)
417       Reorganized code
418           Moved support files into the Locale::Codes namespace.
419
420           The work done in each of the Locale::XXX modules was virtually
421           identical to each other. It has all been moved to a central module
422           and the Locale::XXX modules are now just wrappers.
423
424       (!) Changed XXX_code2code behavior slightly
425           In previous versions, passing in the same code set for both code
426           set arguments would automatically return undef. For example:
427
428              country_code2code('bo',LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2,LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2);
429                 => undef
430
431           This doesn't seem like reasonable behavior, so it has been changed
432           to allow the same code set:
433
434              country_code2code('bo',LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2,LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2);
435                 => 'bo'
436
437           Note that if an invalid code is passed in, undef will still be
438           returned:
439
440              country_code2code('bol',LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2,LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2);
441                 => undef
442
443       Added many semi-private routines
444           Previous versions had only two semi-private routines:
445           rename_country and alias_code which had the ability to modify the
446           internal data in a couple of very limited ways. It was requested
447           (in an anonymous posting by someone named Steve and also by Steve
448           Hay) that better support for modifying internal data, so a full set
449           of routines were added.
450
451           The full set of routines includes:
452
453              rename_country
454              rename_language
455              rename_currency
456              rename_script
457
458              add_country
459              add_language
460              add_currency
461              add_script
462
463              delete_country
464              delete_language
465              delete_currency
466              delete_script
467
468              add_country_alias
469              add_language_alias
470              add_currency_alias
471              add_script_alias
472
473              delete_country_alias
474              delete_language_alias
475              delete_currency_alias
476              delete_script_alias
477
478              rename_country_code
479              rename_language_code
480              rename_currency_code
481              rename_script_code
482
483              add_country_code_alias
484              add_language_code_alias
485              add_currency_code_alias
486              add_script_code_alias
487
488              delete_country_code_alias
489              delete_language_code_alias
490              delete_currency_code_alias
491              delete_script_code_alias
492
493       New aliases
494           Added "UK" alias. Steve Hay

VERSION 3.01 (2010-02-15 sbeck)

497       Fixed Makefile.PL and Build.PL
498           They now install as core modules as they are supposed to.  Reported
499           in RT 54526

VERSION 3.00 (2010-02-10 sbeck)

502       NEW CODE(s)
503       (*) New maintainer
504           From 1997 to 2004, Locale::Codes was maintained by Neil Bowers.
505           Unfortunately, no updates were made from June 2004 to January 2010.
506           During that time, a number of changes were made to the standards,
507           so the data included was out-of-date.
508
509           I contacted Neil to get his permission to assume maintenance of the
510           module, and he kindly agreed.
511
512       (*) (!) All codes are generated from standards
513           All of the values returned by the various functions are now values
514           directly from the standards. This means that the values returned in
515           the 2.xx series are not necessarily the same as the values returned
516           here.
517
518           As an example, the ISO 3166 standard which lists country codes
519           refers to the country associated with the code "bo" as "Bolivia,
520           Plurinational State of", so that is what is returned. In the 2.xx
521           series, "Bolivia" was returned.  Also, the country names vary from
522           one standard to another. So the code "bol" which is maintained by
523           the United Nations returns the name of the country as "Bolivia
524           (Plurinational State of)". Some common aliases have been added, so
525           you can still request a code associated with a county name
526           "Bolivia".
527
528           Since the data comes from the standards, some "incorrect" values
529           are no longer supported. For example, 2.07 treated "Zaire" as an
530           alias for "Congo", but the country changed it's name, and "Zaire"
531           is not in the standard, so it has been dropped in 3.00.
532
533       Added new codeset(s)
534           FIPS 10 country codes (requested in RT 1755)
535
536           Alpha-3 and Term language codes (requested in RT 11730)
537
538           Numeric currency codes (requested in RT 18797)
539
540       (*) (!) Locale::Script changed
541           In 2.xx, Locale::Script assigned scripts to country codes, which is
542           NOT how it is done currently in the standards. It appears that an
543           older version of ISO 15924 did this, but I haven't found an old
544           version to confirm that, and in any case, that is not the case in
545           the current standards.
546
547           As a result, the Locale::Script module is completely incompatible
548           with the 2.xx version with respect to the types of codes it
549           supports. None of the old codes will work.
550
551       Added missing functions
552           I've added in some functions which were "missing" previously (since
553           there was only one set of codes supported, the code2code functions
554           didn't apply):
555
556              language_code2code
557              currency_code2code
558
559           so the interfaces for each type of codes are consistent.
560
561       (!) Dropped support for _alias_code
562           In Locale::Country, _alias_code was an allowed, but deprecated
563           function which was documented to be supported in the 2.xx series.
564           I've removed it.
565
566       (!) All functions return the standard value
567           code2country (and other equivalent functions) now returns the name
568           of the country specified in the standard (if the different
569           standards refer to the country by different variations in the name,
570           the results will differ based on the CODESET)
571
572       (!) rename_country function altered
573           The rename_country function from 2.07 would guess the CODESET
574           (unlike all other functions which used a default of
575           LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2). The guess can cause problems since (with the
576           addition of FIPS) codes may appear in different codesets for
577           different countries. The behavior has been changed to be the same
578           as other functions (default to LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2).
579

VERSION 2.07 (2004-06-10 neilb)

581           Made $_ local in the initialization code for each module change
582           back-propagated from Perl distribution
583
584           Removed two non ISO-8859-1 characters from language names change
585           back-propagated from Perl distribution
586
587           Added the following aliases, with a test case for each
588              - Burma added to Myanmar
589              - French Southern and Antarctic Lands to
590                French Southern Territories patch from TJ Mather
591
592           "Canadian Dollar" was misspelled as "Candian Dollar"
593              - noted by Nick Cabatoff, patch from Michael Hennecke
594
595           Changes to Locale::Country reflecting changes in ISO 3166
596              - added Aland Islands (ax, ala, 248)
597              - YUGOSLAVIA is now SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO

599                 YUG => SCG
600                 891 => 891 (unchanged)
601                 (YUGOSLAVIA retained as an alias)
602              - EAST TIMOR changed to TIMOR-LESTE
603                 (old name retained as an alias)
604              - three letter code for Romania changed from ROM to ROU
605
606           ZAIRE is now CONGO, THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE

609               180 => 180 (unchanged)
610               (ZAIRE retained as alias)
611

VERSION 2.06 (2002-07-15 neilb)

613           The four modules which have data after __DATA__ weren't closing the
614           DATA filehandle after reading from it, which they should. Bug and
615           patch from Steve Hay.
616

VERSION 2.05 (2002-07-08 neilb)

618           Added three letter codes for the countries that were missing them.
619           Patch from TJ Mather.
620
621           Documentation bug: one of the examples used => where the lvalue was
622           a constant, which isn't allowed, unless you put the () with the
623           constant to force the right interpretation.  Pointed out by TJ
624           Mather and MYT.
625
626           Updated the URL for the appendix in the CIA world factbook.  Patch
627           from TJ Mather.
628

VERSION 2.04 (2002-05-23 neilb)

630           Updated according to changes in ISO 3166-1 described in ISO 3166-1
631           newsletters V-4 and V-5, dated 2002-05-20:
632              - Kazakstan is now "Kazakhstan"
633              - Macau is now "Macao" The old names are retained as aliases.
634
635           The alpha-2 and alpha-3 codes for East Timor have changed:
636              tp -> tl
637              tmp -> tls the numeric code stays 626. If you want to support
638           the old codes, you can use the semi-private function alias_code().
639

VERSION 2.03 (2002-03-24 neilb)

641           Fixed a typo in the alias for the Vatican, reported (with patch) by
642           Philip Newton.
643
644           Added "Moldova" as an alias for "Moldova, Republic of"
645
646           Updated Makefile.PL to include AUTHOR and ABSTRACT
647

VERSION 2.02 (2002-03-09 neilb)

649           Added semi-private routine rename_country() to Locale::Country,
650           based on a patch from Iain Chalmers.
651
652           Added test rename.t for the above function.
653
654           Renamed _alias_code to be alias_code. Have retained the old name
655           for backwards compatibility. Will remove it when the major version
656           number next changes.
657

VERSION 2.01 (2002-02-18 neilb)

659           Split the documentation for all modules into separate pod files.
660
661           Made sure all =over were =over 4; some were other values.
662
663           The code2code() methods had one more shift than was needed.
664

VERSION 2.00 (2002-02-17 neilb)

666           Created Locale::Script which provides an interface to the ISO codes
667           for identification of scripts (writing scripts, rather than perl
668           style scripts). The codes are defined by ISO 15924, which is
669           currently in final draft.  Thanks to Jarkko for pointing out this
670           new standard.  All three code sets are supported, and a test-suite
671           added.
672
673           Added support for country name variants to Locale::Country, so that
674              country2code('USA')
675              country2code('United States')
676              country2code('United States of America') will all return 'us'.
677           This had been in the LIMITATIONS section since the first version.
678           Patch from TJ Mather with additional variants from me. Added test-
679           cases for these.
680
681           Added VERSION to Locale::Constants. Thanks to Jarkko for pointing
682           that it was missing.
683
684           Should really have bumped major version with previous release,
685           since there was a change to the API.
686

VERSION 1.06 (2001-03-04 neilb)

688           Added Locale::Constants, which defines three symbols for
689           identifying which codeset is being used:
690
691              LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2
692              LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3
693              LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC
694
695           Updated Locale::Country to support all three code sets defined by
696           ISO 3166. This was requested by Keith Wall.  I haven't added
697           multiple codeset support to the other modules yet - I'll wait until
698           someone asks for them.
699

VERSION 1.05 (2001-02-13 neilb)

701           Added Locale::Currency, contribution from Michael Hennecke.
702
703           Added test suite for it (t/currency.t) and added test cases to
704           t/all.t for the all_* functions.
705

VERSION 1.04 (2000-12-21 neilb)

707           Fixed very minor typos from 1.03!
708

VERSION 1.03 (2000-12-?? neilb)

710           Updated Locale::Country:
711              - fixed spelling of a few countries
712              - added link to a relevant page from CIA world factbook
713
714           Updated Locale::Language:
715              - fixed typo in the documentation (ISO 939 should be 639)
716

VERSION 1.02 (2000-05-04 neilb)

718           Updated Locale::Country and Locale::Language to reflect changes in
719           the relevant ISO standards. These mainly reflect languages which
720           are new to the relevant standard, and changes in the spelling of
721           some country names.
722
723           Added official URLs for the standards to the SEE ALSO sections of
724           the doc for each module.
725
726           Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi for pointing me at the pages with
727           latest versions of ISO 3166 and 639.
728

VERSION 1.00 (1998-03-09 neilb)

730           Added Locale::Country::_alias_code() so that 'uk' can be added as
731           the code for "United Kingdom", if you want it.  This was prompted
732           by Ed Jordan.
733
734           Added a new test suite for handling this case, and extended the
735           existing test-suite to include testing of the case where 'uk'
736           hasn't been defined as a valid code.
737

VERSION 0.003 (1997-05-09 neilb)

739           First public release to CPAN
