Revision history for Perl extension GIS::Distance. 0.01000 - Renamed from Geo::Distance to GIS::Distance. - Moved distance calculations in to their own modules. - Use Class::Measure::Length to handle distance return values. - Test POD syntax. Revision history for Perl extension Geo::Distance. 0.11 : 2005-09-01 - Fixed some errors in the documentation. - Added an highly accurate ellipsoid formula. - lon_field and lat_field were not being used by closest. (D. Hageman) 0.10 : 2005-07-11 - The closest() method has a changed argument syntax and no longer supports array searches. - The closest() method works! - A real gcd formula (still, hsin is much better). - Tweaked docs. - Added some tests (yay!). 0.09 : 2005-04-01 - Modified the todo list to include ideas for future algorithms. - Fixed the nautical mile, mile, yard, and light second units. - Added the British spellings for kilometre, metre, and centimetre. - Added the poppy seed, barleycorn, rod, pole, perch, chain, furlong, league, fathom, millimeter, and millimetre units. - The totw.pl script was written by Ren and can be used to take over the world. 0.08 : 2005-03-20 - Updated the README description. - Removed debug print()s. Eeek! 0.07 : 2005-03-16 - Intermixed documentation with code so it is easier to keep the docs up-to-date. - OO interface only - method interface completely removed. - By default no units are defined. Call default_units. - Slightly more precise measurement of the base kilometer rho. - Added "nautical mile" unit type. - Reworked the closest() function. 0.06 : 2004-06-29 - Optional Haversine formula. - Misc documentation tweaks. 0.05 : 2003-03-19 - Added a note in the documentation about the inaccuracies of using Math::Trig. - The 'mile' unit was being calculated wrong which meant it was returning very inaccurate distances. - Fixed a silly bug where a sub was being relied on that no longer exists. - Documentation tweaks as usual. 0.04 : 2003-02-18 - Documentation revised once again. - Added reg_unit() for adding your own unit type. - find_closest has been overhauled: - Now accepts more than one field in the field=>'' parameter. - Will now return an array reference of distances instead of attaching the distances to the locations array ref. - A little more effecient. - Now accepts a count argument. - Accepts an array reference for searching. Mostly good for testing, but who knows? - Removed geo_ portion of names for exported functions. - Removed some of the input checking. Just not necessary. - Enhanced tests. Now we're actually doing some real testing. Need more tests tho. 0.03 : 2003-02-15 - Documentation modified. - Added find_closest() which accepts a $dbh for searching in an SQL database. - distance_dirty() can now accept locations as array refs. 0.02 : 2003-02-14 - Based on a suggestion by Jack D. I migrated the code to use Math::Trig for most of the distance math. - POD documentation written. - Object oriented interface created.
