Revision history for Perl extension File::MergeSort. 1.23 Sat Jan 2 2010 - Missed a test file from the MANIFEST, added. - It appears there is an issue with BEGIN{ use_ok() } with older versions of Test::More (such as the version shipped with RHEL and similar Linux distros) which I've been fighting with. Removing the problematic test rather than demand a newer Test::More for now. 1.22 Fri Jan 1 2010 - Add ability to skip blank lines in the input files (RT #39969) - Improve tests slightly - Tweak Makefile.PL to include license 1.21 Thu Dec 24 2009 - Fix a silly error in a test script that was causing Test::Pod::Coverage to be incorrectly utilised, breaking tests where that module was available. 1.20 Wed Dec 23 2009 - After a rather long break, clean up code slightly. - This module no longer strips line endings from the lines read in. - Where the records to be read from input files have the same merge keys they will now be read in the order the files were supplied to the constructor - this should give a more predictable output. Thanks to Randy Osburn for the suggestion. 1.14 Sat Jan 28 2006 - Fix problem with distribution, clearly v1.13 was unlucky ;-) 1.13 Fri Jan 27 2006 - Fix broken example code. - Add another POD test. 1.12 Mon Apr 11 2005 - Added POD coverage tests. - Minor documentation fixes. 1.11 Sun Feb 29 2004 - The compressed test files were not included in v1.10, causing tests to fail if IO::Zlib was installed. This release fixes that oversight. 1.10 Sun Feb 29 2004 - Small internal cleanups. - IO::Zlib is now optional, rather than a prerequisite. Compressed files are handled if IO::Zlib is installed. If you don't deal with compressed files, there is no longer any need to install IO::Zlib. - If compressed files are specified as input files and IO::Zlib is not installed an exception is raised. - Errors extracting merge key or opening files now cause an exception, rather than a warning. - Test suite fixed. 1.09 Sun Oct 19 2003 - Commented out broken tests until they can be fixed. - Added Test::More as a prerequisite - Cleaned up stray Ctrl-M characters in files. - Tidied Authors and Copyright sections of documentation. 1.08 Thu Jul 17 2003 - Updated Documentation 1.07 Fri Jun 27 2003 - Cosmetic Changes 1.06 Sun May 25 2003 - Perform comparisons lexicographically, rather than numerically - Corrected minimum required version of Perl: 5.006 not 5.008. - Doc and code cleanups - More tests 1.05 Sat Mar 15 2003 - Improved tests 1.01 Tue Feb 25 2003 - Improved documentation and tests 1.0 Thu Sept 12 2002 - changed name to more properly characterize algorithm. 0.75 Sat Oct 26 2001 - now handles compressed files 0.50 Fri Oct 26 2001 - almost ready for prime-time. 0.01 Sun Oct 21 2001 - original version; created by h2xs 1.21 with options -Xn File::MergeSort
