5 | The module is going to be removed from the core distribution of perl, and will | |
6 | now warn (under warnings) if loaded from its installed-to-core location. | |

10 | The U8 type was over-used in 3.00 and 3.01. Now, "U8 *" is used only as a | |
11 | pointer into the UTF-8 string. Also, unicode now works properly on | |
12 | Perl 5.6.x as the utf8_to_uv() function is used instead of utf8n_to_uvchr() | |
13 | when compiled under a version of Perl earlier than 5.8.0. | |

17 | A bug with non-UTF 8 strings that contain non-ASCII alphabetic characters | |
18 | was fixed. The soundex_unicode() and soundex_nara_unicode() wrapper | |
19 | routines were included and the documentation refers the user to the | |
20 | excellent Text::Unidecode module to perform soundex encodings using | |
21 | unicode strings. The Perl versions of the routines have been further | |
22 | optimized, and correct a border case involving non-alphabetic characters | |
23 | at the beginning of the string. | |

26 | ||
27 | Updated documentation, simplified the Perl interface, and updated | |
28 | the XS code to be faster, and to properly work with UTF-8 strings. | |
29 | UNICODE characters outside the ASCII range (0x00 - 0x7F) are | |
30 | considered to be non-alphabetic for the purposes of the soundex | |
31 | algorithms. | |

34 | ||
35 | I've put in a version of my XS code and fully integrated it with the | |
36 | existing 100% perl mechanism. The change should be virtually transparent | |
37 | to the user. XS code is approx 7.5 times faster. | |

42 | Incorporated Mark Mielke's rewritten version of the main soundex routine | |
43 | and made the test.pl file simpler. | |
