version 2.006; 2011-05-07
- implement AUTODIN-II CRC hashing, delegating to Digest::CRC to
perform the actual CRC calculation
- in documentation, refer to the VMS function principally as
"SYS$HASH_PASWORD" (which seems to be its primary name) and only
secondarily as "LGI$HPWD"
- in XS, use save stack to clean up temporarily allocated memory
- in XS, declare "PROTOTYPES: DISABLE" to prevent automatic generation
of unintended prototypes
- in t/setup_pp.pl, avoid a warning that occurs if XSLoader::load()
is given no arguments, which is now a valid usage
- slightly reformat some C code to avoid exceeding 80 columns
- include META.json in distribution
- add MYMETA.json to .cvsignore
version 2.005; 2010-07-30
- in XS, use the correct "PREINIT:" instead of "INIT:" to introduce
variable declarations
- in XS, use PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT for efficiency
- use simpler "parent" pragma in place of "base"
- check for required Perl version at runtime
- use full stricture in test suite
- also test POD coverage of pure Perl implementation
- correct spelling of "build_recommends" in Build.PL
- in Build.PL, explicitly set needs_compiler to avoid bogus
auto-dependency on ExtUtils::CBuilder
- in Build.PL, explicitly declare configure-time requirements
- remove bogus "exit 0" from Build.PL
- add MYMETA.yml to .cvsignore
version 2.004; 2009-03-15
- add a (hideously slow) pure Perl backup implementation for systems
that can't handle XS modules
- comprehensive UTF-8 tests, with non-ASCII test vectors, testing all
vectors both downgraded and upgraded, in a way that also works on
perl v5.6
- add casts for pointer target signedness, and other small changes to
the C code, to avoid compiler warnings
- small POD markup changes
version 2.003; 2009-03-02
- bugfix: avoid memory leak when croaking
- bugfix: ensure appropriate alignment of qword struct for 64-bit
arithmetic on strict-alignment 64-bit systems
- add backward-compatibility definition of bytes_from_utf8() function
- disable, pending further analysis, assembler versions of the code that
have been observed to result in compilation failures on some systems
- remove ununsed dword_t and qword_t structs from the C code
- use full stricture in Build.PL
version 2.002; 2007-09-17
- bugfix: correctly handle UTF8-encoded scalars
- don't use ppport.h, because it wasn't doing anything for perl v5.6+
- test POD syntax and coverage
- build with Module::Build instead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker
- rearrange source tree to fit Module::Build convention
- complete dependency list
- include signature in distribution
- in documentation, separate "license" section from "copyright" section
version 2.001; 2006-08-30
- add vms_username() and vms_password() functions for syntax checking
and canonicalisation
version 2.0; 2006-08-27
- rewrite by Zefram: based on a newer branch of Shawn Clifford's C
code; proper Perlish error handling; allow arbitrary byte strings
(including embedded NULs); new documentation; many test vectors
version 1.0; 2003-09-11
