#$Id: Changes 1329 2008-06-07 23:49:51Z jimk $ Revision history for Perl extension List::Compare. 0.04 Sat Jun 8 2002 - last draft version before using h2xs 0.05 Sun Jun 9 2002 - original version; created by h2xs 1.20 with options -XA -n List::Compare 0.06 Wed Jun 12 2002 - documentation changes; POD broke 0.07 Thu Jun 13 2002 - documentation changes 0.08 Sat Jun 15 2002 - added method get_version() - used non-idiomatic syntax for 'foreach' in hope of making module more backwardly compatible - to free up memory, zeroed out %seenA and %seenB when no longer needed - added method get_bag() - inspired by Set::Scalar, used typeglob syntax to implement aliases for methods - revised POD extensively 0.09 Sun Jun 16 2002 - added tests to test get_bag() - implemented Carp module for warnings 0.10 Wed Jun 19 2002 - corrected one typo in documentation - commented out # require 5.00562 and use warnings - first version uploaded to CPAN 0.11 Thu Jun 20 2002 - corrected errors in POD that caused HTML to display incorrectly 0.12 Sat Jul 13 2002 - major expansion - capability to accelerate processing of comparisons of 2 lists when only 1 comparison method is expected to be called - capability to compare more than 2 lists at a time - introduction of methods including: get_shared() get_nonintersection() print_subset_map() print_equivalence_map() - not released to CPAN due to errors in README and Changes 0.13 Sat Aug 03 2002 - corrected documentation errors found in v0.12 - released to CPAN 0.14 Sun Aug 18 2002 - commented out 'use warnings;' to permit module to run on pre-5.6 versions - corrected one error in POD - removed e-mail addresses of authors of other modules from POD 0.15 Sat Sep 07 2002 - conformed CPAN addresses of other modules to new structure of search.cpan.org 0.16 Sat Mar 08 2003 - for each method which returned an array, added an analogous method which returns a reference to that array 0.17 Thu May 22 2003 - eliminated certain synthetic variables - created List::Compare::SeenHash 0.18 Sun Jun 1 2003 - added methods member_which(), single_member_which() 0.19 Sun Jun 1 2003 - added methods member_any(), single_member_any() - fixed annoying carping messages when running 'make test' 0.20 Fri Jun 6 2003 - updated documentation discussing changes since v0.17 - changed names of recently added methods to is_member_which(), is_member_which_ref(), are_members(), is_member_any(), are_members_any() 0.21 Sun Oct 26 2003 - added functional interface to list comparison functions: List::Compare::Functional; this required changes in List::Compare::Base::Accelerated and the creation of List::Compare::Base::_Engine 0.22 Sun Nov 23 2003 - corrected conceptual flaw in List::Compare::SeenHash so as to exclude values in a seen-hash mathematically equal to zero - implemented 'unsorted' option for list comparisons 0.23 [Accidentally skipped.] 0.24 Sun Mar 28 2004 - first implementation of 'multiple accelerated' mode wherein user can request speedier processing of more than two lists when only one comparison among the lists is sought - converted test suite to use Test::Simple 0.25 Sun Apr 4 2004 - continued implementation of 'multiple accelerated' mode; applied to List::Compare::SeenHash and List::Compare::Functional - modification of interfaces to methods/functions are_members_which() and are_members_any throughout; items to be tested must be passed (by reference) as an anonymous array rather than as a flat list 0.26 Sun Apr 11 2004 - List::Compare::SeenHash and associated tests deprecated - capacity to pass references to seen-hashes to constructor now transferred directly into List::Compare - corrections to POD 0.27 Sun Apr 18 2004 - corrections to POD 0.28 Sun Apr 25 2004 - implementation of is_LdisjointR - correction of error in tests of multiple-accelerated mode - correction of error in internal subroutine _argument_checker_0 - further implication of deprecation of List::Compare::SeenHash is that all the code in List::Compare::Base::Regular, L:C:B:Accelerated, L:C:B:Multiple and L:C:B:Multiple::Accelerated is no longer shared between List::Compare and List::Compare::SeenHash and hence can be taken back into List::Compare; thereby eliminating the 'use base' calls from List::Compare. 0.29 Sun May 16 2004 - implementation of alternative ('Adlerian') interface wherein a single hash reference is passed to constructor or function 0.30 Fri May 21 2004 - documentation corrections only 0.31 Sun Aug 15 2004 - added methods get_unique_all() and get_complement_all(); added 3335 tests; repositioned most methods in List::Compare::Base::_Engine to List::Compare::Accelerated as they were no longer also being used in List::Compare::Functional; other internal code clean-up 0.32 Sun Sep 18 2005 - No changes in functionality. Distribution restructured so that modules are now underneath the 'lib/' directory. 0.33 Sun Feb 19 2006 - Documentation changes only. Support for List-Compare is now offered via dedicated mailing list. 0.34 Mon Nov 5 18:35:15 EST 2007 - Add require 5.6 to Makefile.PL. 0.35 Sun May 18 19:54:32 EDT 2008 - Fix bug reported by Charles Bailey. In object-oriented interface, two lists case, get_shared and get_shared_ref should default to get_intersection and get_intersection_ref. - Complete overhaul of test suite. Tests are now grouped by interface in a more logical order. 0.36 Fri May 23 21:41:55 EDT 2008 - IO::CaptureOutput was mispositioned: should have been directly under t/ rather than under t/Test/. 0.37 Sat Jun 7 19:46:52 EDT 2008 - Tests refined and code refactored so as to achieve 100% subroutine, statement, branch and condition coverage by test suite as measured by Devel::Cover. Some cleanup of POD.
