Revision history for Perl module Text::BibTeX

0.75_1 2016-06-24
 * Added binmode option. Should allow unicode handling directly.

0.74 2016-06-15
 * Get perl 5.8.x back.

0.73 2016-06-14
 * Change some documentation in order to use ->new method, instead
   of older 'new Class()' approach;
 * Add sensible default values to Text::BibTeX::NameFormat to reduce
   the amount of segmentation faults for users forgetting arguments.

0.72 2016-04-19
 * Added clone() method to Text::BibTeX::Entry

0.71 2015-05-28
 * Fix segmentation fault when btparse fails parsing a long
   entry. Thanks to Dale Evans.
 * Stop using UNIVERSAL (5.21.3 requirement).
   Thanks to Jitka Plesnikova

0.70 2014-09-01
 * Added metadata for metacpan.

0.69 2013-02-27
 * Fixes in the distribution, namely adding versions to unversioned packages.

0.68 2013-02-27
 * Replacement for islower() which understands all Unicode 6.2.0
   chars with "LOWERCASE" property. Now we can detect prefices
   not just in ASCII ... this also seems to have fixed the strange
   windows XP test failures, probably due to undefined islower(). See RT #92864

 * fixed Build.PL with correct build_requirements;
 * fixed test to use still not installed library;

0.40_2 2010-02-15
 * merged btparse library into Text::BibTeX code. I am sorry for all
   other languages that might be using this library. For them my
   suggestion is that they make Text::BibTeX as a dependency.
 * ported compilation and configuration tools from ExtUtils::MakeMaker
   to Module::Build.
 * back on track, trying to make Text::BibTeX work and compile easily
   on main platforms (sorry, for main platforms I assume Linux, Mac OS

 * Thanks to Philip Kime for continuous poke so I work on this!!
   Created a THANKS file for this purpose.

0.38 2008-03-08
 * fixed problem when creating an empty Entry.
   Thanks to Frank Wiegand.

 * changed from 0.33 to 0.35 to maintain relation with btparse.

 * the way the module initializes changed. Now the module can be
   included to check its version.

0.33 2000-03-22
 * fixed long-standing bug with import/inheritance code; should fix the
   mysterious "method redefined" and "can't locate object method" errors
   that various people have seen on various platforms over the years.
   Thanks to Nikolay Pelov <Nikolay.Pelov@cs.kuleuven.ac.be> for
   fixing the bug!
 * fixed some small bugs spotted by Horst Tellioglu
   <telliogl@h2hobel.phl.univie.ac.at> that messed up creating a brand-
   new entry from scratch
 * fixed even smaller bug spotted by Horst Tellioglu in the BibTeX 0.99
   emulation code

0.32 1999-11-28
 * made Makefile.PL able to download and configure btparse, instead
   of leaving it up to the user
 * fixed entry output method (print_s) so strings are wrapped in braces,
   not quotes -- that way we don't generate bogus BibTeX files if there
   are quotes at top-level in a string

0.31 1999-10-28
 * fixed small bug in Text::BibTeX::BibFormat
 * better documentation for Text::BibTeX::Name example
 * better adherence to POD standard

0.30 1999-03-12
 * the "structure module" system is in place -- lets you write classes
   analogous to BibTeX style files, but with all the advantages of
   object-oriented programming in Perl (see Text::BibTeX::Structure
   man page)
 * the Bib structure, meant to emulate the standard style files of
   BibTeX 0.99, is partially complete: can generate sort keys for
   any of the 13 standard entry types, and format 'article' and 'book'
   entries -- no support for crossrefs or alphabetic labels yet though
 * can now (optionally) access the data in more "raw" form, ie. with
   macros not expanded, strings not concatenated, whitespace not collapsed)
   (see Text::BibTeX::Value man page)
 * moved support for parsing individual names to the Text::BibTeX::Name class
 * added support for name-formatting via Text::BibTeX::NameFormat class
   (parallels work in btparse -- see also bt_format_names man page)
 * added BibTeX-style string purificaction
 * added three example programs: btcheck, btsort, and btformat (btformat
   is *very* preliminary!)
 * lots of documentation added/revised in the existing modules

0.21 1997-10-20
 * companion to btparse 0.21 -- mainly due to bug fixes and one
   minor interface change (bt_cite_key -> bt_entry_key) in btparse
 * documentation/portability/warning fixes
 * fixed XS code to not make an accidental second "strip quote
   characters" pass
 * fixed Entry 'print_s' method to handle all entry metatypes
 * changed Entry 'delete' method to handle a list of fields
 * started introducing changes to support the new way of
   doing 'structure modules' -- nothing documented yet, though
 * deprecated old Structure module

0.2 1997-09-08
 * fixed a bunch of little memory leaks in the btparse C library
 * rationalized the Text::BibTeX::Entry method names
 * added (incomplete) Text::BibTeX::Structure module
 * completely overhauled the parser and the interface to it;
   this necessitated many small changes to BibTeX.xs
 * greatly expanded the test suite and fixed a few little bugs
   found in the process
 * fixed the XS code to handle comment and preamble entries

0.1 1997-03-08
 * initial release
