Revision history for Perl extension Text::Soundex.
3.02 Sun Feb 02 02:54:00 EST 2003 <mark@mielke.cc>
The U8 type was over-used in 3.00 and 3.01. Now, "U8 *" is used only as a
pointer into the UTF-8 string. Also, unicode now works properly on
Perl 5.6.x as the utf8_to_uv() function is used instead of utf8n_to_uvchr()
when compiled under a version of Perl earlier than 5.8.0.
3.01 Sun Jan 26 16:30:00 EST 2003 <mark@mielke.cc>
A bug with non-UTF 8 strings that contain non-ASCII alphabetic characters
was fixed. The soundex_unicode() and soundex_nara_unicode() wrapper
routines were included and the documentation refers the user to the
excellent Text::Unidecode module to perform soundex encodings using
unicode strings. The Perl versions of the routines have been further
optimized, and correct a border case involving non-alphabetic characters
at the beginning of the string.
3.00 Sun Jan 26 04:08:00 EST 2003 <mark@mielke.cc>
Updated documentation, simplified the Perl interface, and updated
the XS code to be faster, and to properly work with UTF-8 strings.
UNICODE characters outside the ASCII range (0x00 - 0x7F) are
considered to be non-alphabetic for the purposes of the soundex
algorithms.
2.10 Sun Feb 15 15:29:38 EST 1998 <mark@mielke.cc>
I've put in a version of my XS code and fully integrated it with the
existing 100% perl mechanism. The change should be virtually transparent
to the user. XS code is approx 7.5 times faster.

2.00 Thu Jan 1 16:22:11 1998 <mike@stok.co.uk>
Incorporated Mark Mielke's rewritten version of the main soundex routine
and made the test.pl file simpler.
