Changes for version 3.01 - 2003-01-26

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