2.31 2020.09.26 - Fix for Latin1/UTF8 issue in documentation.
2.30 2020.06.20 - Cleanup for initial upload to GitHub. Version
numbers for all sub-modules synced on 2.30 for
consistency. Maintainer updated. Build.PL and
Makefile.PL updates. Addition of 'use warnings'
to all files. POD encoding error fix.
0.84 2010.04.29 - Documentation fixes to the En stemmer and removal
of the accidentally included lib/Lingua/test.pl file
Thanks goes to Aaron Naiman for bringing the
documentation error to my attention and to
Alexandr Ciornii and 'kmx' for the pointing out
the problem with the test.pl file.
0.83 2007.06.23 - Disabled Italian locale tests due to changes
in behavior of Lingua::Stem::It causing
test breakage
0.82 2006.07.23 - Added 'stem_in_place' to base package.
Tweaks to documentation and build tests.
0.81 2004.07.26 - Minor documentation tweak.
0.80 2004.07.25 - Added support for Linuga::Stem::Ru
0.70 2004.04.26 - Added support for Lingua::Stem::Fr and
documentation fixes for Lingua::Stem::Gl
0.61 2003.09.28 - Documentation fixes. No functional changes.
0.60 2003.04.05 - Added more locales by wrappering various stemming
implementations. Documented currently supported
list of locales.
0.50 2000.09.14 - Fixed major implementation error. Starting with
version 0.30 I forgot to include rulesets 2,3 and 4
for Porter's algorithm. The resulting stemming results
were very poor. Thanks go to <csyap@netfision.com>
for bringing the problem to my attention. Unfortunately,
the fix inherently generates *different*
stemming results than 0.30 and 0.40 did. If you
need identically broken output - use locale 'en-broken'.
0.40 2000.08.25 - Added stem caching support as an option. This
can provide a large speedup to the operation
of the stemmer. Caching is default turned off
to maximize compatibility with previous versions.
0.30 1999.06.24 - Replaced core of 'En' stemmers with code from
Jim Richardson <jimr@maths.usyd.edu.au>
Aliased 'en-us' and 'en-uk' to 'en'
Fixed 'SYNOPSIS' to correct return value
type for stemmed words (SYNOPIS error spotted
by <Arved_37@chebucto.ns.ca>)
0.20 1999.06.15 - Changed to '.pm' module, moved into Lingua:: namespace,
added OO interface, optionalized the export of routines
into the caller's namespace, added named parameter
initialization, stemming exceptions, autoloaded
locale support and isolated case flattening to
localized stemmers prevent i18n problems later.
Input and output text are assumed to be in UTF8
encoding (no operational impact right now, but
will be important when extending the module to
non-English).
