0.04 2003-03-20
- Changed several tests in unit.t to use RE matches instead of exact
numerical equality for floating point numbers. This should fix the
failures that I got from some of the Perl testers on other
platforms.
- Took out "print 'Howdy!'" from Unit.pm: ooops! I had put that
in there to make sure that when developing, I was using the correct
copy of the module.
- Removed the example script MultiTypes.pl. It didn't really do
anything unique.
- Simplified eg/UnitSimple.pl, and moved some of its test code into
t/unit.t.
- Created eg/UnitDebug.pl, which turns on debugging when given the
'-d' command-line option. I took this feature out of UnitSimple.pl,
in order to make the latter as simple as possible.
- Similarly, I created eg/VectorDebug.pl, and simplified
eg/VectorSimple.pl.
- Ditto for eg/ScalarDebug.pl and eg/ScalarSimple.pl.
- Fixed eg/ScalarMethods.pl - changed "lb" to "lbm" in the mass.
- Added lots of tests to t/scalar.t: everything that was in
eg/ScalarMethods.pl and eg/ScalarSimple.pl.
- I took all the test statements out of the examples: things like
"die if ...". This cleans up the examples. Wherever it made sense,
I moved those tests into the test scripts, and converted them to use
the Test::More functions.
- Added an example of automagic determination of a scalar type to the
Scalar.pm documentation.
- I fixed the automatic generation of scalar type. This example from
the Scalar.pm documentation:
$d = new Physics::Unit::Scalar('3m');
now correctly produces a Physics::Unit::Distance object.
- That resulted in the VectorSimple.pl example script working now.
- Changed the header of one of the sections in the Scalar.pm
documentation from "IMPLEMENTATION NOTES" to "UNITS ASSOCIATED
WITH SCALARS".
- Added UnitsByName.html and UnitsByType.html to the MANIFEST. These
are generated automagically by the UnitGenDoc.pl example script.
0.02 2003-03-19
- Added the prefixes "semi" and "demi", for 0.5.
- Added the binary prefixes; see
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html
- Added 'revolution', 'revolutions', and 'rpm'.
- Added 'cycle' and 'cycles'.
- Added 'degrees-rankine'
- Removed some old code that was commented out.
- Moved implementation-specific comments, including private method
documentation, into UnitImpl.pm.
- Added the "EXPRESSION GRAMMAR" section to Unit.pm.
- Moved documentation about Scalar.pm private methods into
ScalarImpl.pm.
- Added "pica" and "point" units to Unit.pm
- Also added "stone" and "stones"
- Also added jeweler's units 'carat', 'carats', 'karat', 'karats',
and 'j-point'.
- Added a section to the Unit.pm documentation: "Naming Conflicts
and Resolution". This describes all of the instances of units
names that have multiple definitions (e.g. "point") and how each
is resolved in this library.
- Improved the documentation of the unit expression grammar.
- Re-organized, slightly, the documentation of private methods in the
Unit.pm module.
- Re-organized, slightly, the documentation in the Scalar.pm module.
- Changed *all* the files' newline format from DOS to Unix.
- Updated the README file.
- Unit.pm Documentation
- Removed the "COMPILE-TIME STUFF" header and the associated
paragraph.
- InitBaseUnit() is showing up both under "Class Data" and
"Public Utility Functions". I removed it from the former.
- Ditto for InitPrefix(), InitTypes(), InitUnit(), and
GetUnit(). Gene: was there some reason that I'm not seeing for
including these under "Class Data"?
- Added some of the grammar back into the documentation for the
Parser methods.
- Scalar.pm Documentation
- I added the header "IMPLEMENTATION NOTES" two paragraphs after
the "DEBUG OPTION" header, since the following paragraphs there
aren't related to the debug option.
- I took the ScalarFactory() function out of "PUBLIC METHODS", and
put it under "PUBLIC UTILITY FUNCTIONS" (a new heading).0.04 2003-03-21
