Changes for version 2.50 - 2004-07-03

  • things calming down at new job, more free time at home for pet projects. hopefully this means more Geo::ShapeFile support to come (as well as posting some new modules in progress)
  • fixed windows bug reported by Patrick Dughi
  • object caching
  • fixed another windows bug reported by A. B. Jones
  • fixed dumb regexp bug that wouldn't let you use directories with a dot in them (doh!). Reported by Leo WEST
  • fixed documentation bug for shapes_in_area reported by Chad Harp
  • fixed endianess bug reported by Daniel Gildea
  • fixed some count issues, and code cleanup reported by Fergus McMenemie
  • documentation clarification suggested by Christopher Eykamp
  • fixed divide by zero bug when using angle_to() on points with the same X value, reported by Frank Maas
  • fixed bug where has_point() missed points that fell exactly on the boundary of the area specified, reported by Frank Maas
  • modified dbf file reader to correctly load DBF files that don't have an end-of-file marker byte. This should correct the 'file size off by one byte' bug first reported by Attila Csipa (sorry it took so long, I couldn't find data that reproduced it), patch submitted by Aleksandar Jelenak.
