Version 2.119 Sat Jan 1 17:57:01 CET 2005 + Changed -keep settings of $RE {zip} {US}. + Replaced occurrences of '\d' with '[0-9]' in number.pm and net.pm, because with Unicode more characters than just 0 - 9 will match '\d'. + Moved part of the tests of t/test_comment.t into different files in t/comment.

Version 2.117 Thu Jul 1 12:11:47 CEST 2004 + Fixed problems with squares and 32bit integer Perls. + Pod nits in Regexp::Common (Jim Cromie) + $VERSION fix in Regexp::Common::URI::RFCC2384 (Mike Arms) + Discuss unwanted matching in Regexp::Common::net (Charles Thomas) + 132238 tests in 48 files.

+ 134 patterns in 11 classes and 12 subclasses.

Version 2.113 Wed Apr 2 22:58:46 2003
+ INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE!
Regexp::Common used to set $; to '='. This no longer happens, because setting $; breaks Filter::Simple. (Report by Tim Maher). This means that regexps of the form $RE{foo}{"-flag=value"} no longer work! They need to be written as $RE{foo}{"-flag$;value"} or as $RE{foo}{-flag => "value"}.

When defining patterns using the pattern function, a = still needs to be used to separate the flag from its default value. This has not been changed.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience. + 157762 tests in 44 files.
+ 127 patterns in 11 classes and 12 subclasses.

Version 2.112 Wed Mar 26 00:25:04 2003
+ prospero and pop URIs
+ Fixed documentation of Regexp::Common::lingua to document the lingua stuff instead of Regexp::Common::zip (Murat). + 157761 tests in 44 files.
+ 127 patterns in 11 classes and 12 subclasses.

Version 2.111 Wed Mar 12 23:30:03 2003
+ Introduced the -i switch. Important if you are using the functional interface and want to be able to match case insensitive. (Request from Tim Maher).
+ Introduced the -nospace switch for $RE{net}{domain} (Request from Juerd). + Decimal numbers.
+ WAIS URIs.
+ More generic setup to define comments for various languages. + Expanded and redid the documentation for comment.pm. + Comments for Advisor, Advsys, Alan, Algol 60, Algol 68, B, BASIC (mvEnterprise), Forth, Fortran (both fixed and free form), fvwm2, mutt, Oberon, 6 versions of Pascal, PEARL (one of the at least four...), PL/B, PL/I, slrn, Squeak. + 151114 tests in 42 files.
+ 125 patterns in 11 classes and 10 subclasses.

Version 2.110 Fri Feb 21 15:58:14 2003
+ Fixed t/test_squares.t. '0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF' cannot be used on non-64bit platforms - eval to the rescue. + Added $VERSION to the .pm files who were missing them. + gopher, news, nntp URIs.
+ 145013 tests in 39 files.
+ 100 patterns in 11 classes and 9 subclasses.

Version 2.109 Mon Feb 10 22:41:45 2003
+ Split out URI.pm into a myriad of files. There is a separate file for each URI scheme, and a separate file for each RFC that's used. URI.pm requires all the URI scheme files, and constructs the combining URI regexp. + file URIs.
+ Cut down on the number of tests run for certain classes. + 123810 tests in 36 files.
+ 95 patterns in 11 classes and 7 subclasses.

Version 2.108 Sun Feb 9 22:58:56 2003

+ Reorganized t/ directory by adding subdirectories. + 88 patterns in 11 classes.
+ 163355 tests in 31 files.

Version 2.104 Fri Jan 24 16:44:19 2003

Version 2.103 Thu Jan 23 03:21:17 2003

Version 0.06 Mon Aug 5 00:56:19 CEST 2002 + URI regexes. Currently only HTTP and FTP. More to come.

Version 0.05 Thu Aug 1 12:01:04 CEST 2002 + Improved the 'subs' method of MAC addresses.

Version 0.04 Thu Aug 1 01:18:37 CEST 2002 + Added the set of $RE{net}{MAC} regexes, by request of Iain Truskett <spoon@cpan.org>.
