Encode Hackers,
I have made Encode-0.90 available at
http://www.dan.co.jp/~dankogai/Encode-0.90.tar.gz
I have revised Encode-0.90 so that it checks jisx0212-1990. The URL
remains the same,
http://www.dan.co.jp/~dankogai/Encode-0.90.tar.gz
I left the version number unchanged since no *.pm or *.xs changed.
Files affected are
Encode/t/jisx0212.euc
Encode/t/jisx0208.euc
Encode/t/JP.t
Sorry for the confusion.
CAVEAT
------
jisx0212 -> utf8 (decode) does not work while utf8 -> jisx0212 does.
I've tried to work it out on my own but gave up for the time being
because I want Nick to check it out. Nick, please try
perl5.7.3 -Mblib t/JP 1
to see what I mean. the last '1' enables jisx0212 tests. I will keep
working on this problem but I need your help.
The reason was quite simple. It was due to the fact that '~' is not
round-trippalable. That is the only char that is not round-trippable
so I have modified jisx0212.euc (which I have grabbled form Jcode, which
was originally autogenerated out of mapping table at ftp.unicode.org) so
that '~' is represented in single ASCII character (\x7E) instead of
jisx0212 form (\x8F\xA2\xB7).
