0.25 2021-01-30T06:24:44Z
- Lots of documentation edits.
0.24 2019-03-10T06:48:33Z

0.23 2019-03-09T13:15:58Z
- Require GIS::Distance 0.13 so that tests pass.
- Fixed a coordinate ordering bug in distance().
- Added the null formula.
0.22 2019-03-08T18:36:39Z
- Made the distance() method faster.
0.21 2019-03-07T23:08:39Z
- Officially set the x_deprecated META flag.
- Use GIS::Distance 0.11+ for all distance calculations.
- Lots and lots of documentation edits for the above.
- Migrate build tooling from Dist::Zilla to Minilla.
0.20 2012-10-19
- Fix a test that was comparing floating point numbers and falling over on
some platforms.
0.19 2012-04-03
- Fix various typos.
- Fix floating point error in the hsin formula.
0.18 2012-03-23
- Fix gcd calculation to use ** instead of ^.
0.17 2011-06-28
- Fix circular package dependencies with Geo::Distance::XS (not really
an issue practically, but then again it wasn't really helping).
0.16
- No changes. The 0.15 package was broken.
0.15
- Stop "Too late to run INIT block" warning.
0.14
- Fix "splice() offset past end of array" as filed in RT 26446.
0.13
- Use Geo::Distance::XS if available.
- Declare Math::Trig dependency.
0.12
- Noted GIS::Distance in POD.
- Some cleanups to install process.
- Check for DBI in tests before using it.
0.11 2005-09-01
- Fixed some errors in the documentation.
- Added an highly accurate ellipsoid formula.
- lon_field and lat_field were not being used by closest. (D. Hageman)
0.10 2005-07-11
- The closest() method has a changed argument syntax and no longer
supports array searches.
- The closest() method works!
- A real gcd formula (still, hsin is much better).
- Tweaked docs.
- Added some tests (yay!).
0.09 2005-04-01
- Modified the todo list to include ideas for future algorithms.
- Fixed the nautical mile, mile, yard, and light second units.
- Added the British spellings for kilometre, metre, and centimetre.
- Added the poppy seed, barleycorn, rod, pole, perch, chain,
furlong, league, fathom, millimeter, and millimetre units.
- The totw.pl script was written by Ren and can be used to
take over the world.
0.08 2005-03-20
- Updated the README description.
- Removed debug print()s. Eeek!
0.07 2005-03-16
- Intermixed documentation with code so it is easier to keep
the docs up-to-date.
- OO interface only - method interface completely removed.
- By default no units are defined. Call default_units.
- Slightly more precise measurement of the base kilometer rho.
- Added "nautical mile" unit type.
- Reworked the closest() function.
0.06 2004-06-29
- Optional Haversine formula.
- Misc documentation tweaks.
0.05 2003-03-19
- Added a note in the documentation about the
inaccuracies of using Math::Trig.
- The 'mile' unit was being calculated wrong which
meant it was returning very inaccurate distances.
- Fixed a silly bug where a sub was being relied
on that no longer exists.
- Documentation tweaks as usual.
0.04 2003-02-18
- Documentation revised once again.
- Added reg_unit() for adding your own unit type.
- find_closest has been overhauled:
- Now accepts more than one field in the
field=>'' parameter.
- Will now return an array reference
of distances instead of attaching the
distances to the locations array ref.
- A little more effecient.
- Now accepts a count argument.
- Accepts an array reference for searching.
Mostly good for testing, but who knows?
- Removed geo_ portion of names for exported
functions.
- Removed some of the input checking. Just not
necessary.
- Enhanced tests. Now we're actually doing some
real testing. Need more tests tho.
0.03 2003-02-15
- Documentation modified.
- Added find_closest() which accepts a $dbh for
searching in an SQL database.
- distance_dirty() can now accept locations as
array refs.
0.02 2003-02-14
- Based on a suggestion by Jack D. I migrated the code
to use Math::Trig for most of the distance math.
- POD documentation written.
- Object oriented interface created.
