1.5 Thu Aug 30 14:42:08 CEST 2007
- Various small changes to make Text::Iconv compile on OpenVMS
(based on a patch by Peter (Stig) Edwards)
- Output buffer was always initialized to 5 bytes--this was
just for testing, but I'd forgotten to revert back to the
original code (detected via a bug report by Aldo LeTellier).
1.6 Sat Oct 13 00:16:30 CEST 2007
- Makefile.PL now uses File::Spec to portably specify the null
device. This should make it possible to build Text::Iconv
on Windows "out of the box".
- Added get_attr() and set_attr() methods. They provide an
interface to the iconvctl() function of GNU libiconv.
1.7 Wed Oct 17 15:49:56 CEST 2007
- Makefile.PL now explicitly declares "use 5.006;" since it
uses functionality like delete() for array elements.
- In Iconv.xs, moved the variable declarations in
ti_set_attr() and ti_get_attr() into the PREINIT: section.
This makes it possible to compile it using gcc 2.96.
While here set a more specific homepage.

Changes since last packaged version (1.2):
1.3 Mon Jun 28 19:25:43 CEST 2004
- Makefile.PL now tries to detect the need for -liconv
- added retval() method to Text::Iconv objects, which returns the
iconv() return value (according to the Single UNIX Specification,
"the number of non-identical conversions performed")
- to make this possible, Text::Iconv objects are--on the C level--no
longer just the iconv handle, but a struct (which can contain other
information besides the handle)
1.4 Sun Jul 18 00:09:21 CEST 2004
- Added instance attribute raise_error and corresponding
method to control exception raising on a per-object basis.
- Reset shift state for state-dependent conversions.
- Makefile.PL now passes all options besides LIBS and INC to
MakeMaker, so options like INSTALLDIRS=vendor work again.
Changes:
1.2 Fri Jul 27 10:46:56 METDST 2001
- converting undef now always returns undef
- since HP-UX seems to be the only platform where the second
argument to iconv() is *not* const char**, put an #ifdef
into Iconv.xs
Perl interface to the iconv() function as defined by the Single
UNIX Specification. The convert() method converts the encoding of
characters in the input string from the fromcode codeset to the
tocode codeset, and returns the result.
