Subject: Encode-0.90 now available
Encode Hackers,
I have made Encode-0.90 available at
http://www.dan.co.jp/~dankogai/Encode-0.90.tar.gz
Changes since perl(_at_)15300
------------------------
+ Pod bugs in Encode::XX fixed
+ t/*.t now works independently of perl core so Encode is CPAN-uploadable
(all "@INC = '../lib';" replaced with "unshift @INC, '../lib', for
instance)
+ Module versions all set to 0.90 with RCS stub
hopefully this will be 1.00 when 5.8.0 is ripe and uploaded to CPAN
+ partial support for jisx0212-1990. See CAVEAT
+ Encode/euc-jp+0212.ucm added for the functionality above
! t/table.* renamed to jisx0208.*
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.
Well, jisx0212 is not round-trippable; it contains TILDE and others
that are already mapped in ASCII and/or jisx0208. Still, it immediately
croaks with a message like
euc-jp "\x8F" does not map to Unicode (3) at t/JP.t line 50, <$src> line
288.
Once multibyte chars with more than 3bytes/char works, we can even
support such biggies as GB18030 (with the biggest char 4 byte big; icu
distribution does contain this).
