| 3 | Philip Newton <Philip.Newton@gmx.net> sent in a clean patch that | |
| 4 | added support for defining words differently; that prevents | |
| 5 | Text::Wrap from untainting strings; and that fixes a documentation | |
| 6 | bug. | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | So that fill.t can be used in the version included in the perl | |
| 9 | distribution, fill.t no longer uses File::Slurp. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | Both Sweth Chandramouli <svc@sweth.net> and Drew Degentesh | |
| 12 | <ddegentesh@daed.com> both objected to the automatic unexpand | |
| 13 | that Text::Wrap does on its results. Drew sent a patch which | |
| 14 | has been integrated. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | Way back in '97, Joel Earl <jrearl@VNET.IBM.COM> asked that | |
| 17 | it be possible to use a line separator other than \n when | |
| 18 | adding new lines. There is now support for that. | |

| 22 | Bugfix by Michael G Schwern <schwern@pobox.com>: don't add extra | |
| 23 | whitespace when working one an array of input (as opposed to a | |
| 24 | single string). | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | Performance rewrite: use m/\G/ rather than s///. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | You can now specify that words that are too long to wrap can simply | |
| 29 | overflow the line. Feature requested by James Hoagland | |
| 30 | <hoagland@SiliconDefense.com> and by John Porter <jdporter@min.net>. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | Documentation changes from Rich Bowen <Rich@cre8tivegroup.com>. | |

| 36 | Combined Fill.pm into Wrap.pm. It appears there are versions of | |
| 37 | Wrap.pm with fill in them. | |

| 41 | Over the last couple of years, many people sent in various | |
| 42 | rewrites of Text::Wrap. I should have done something about | |
| 43 | updating it long ago. If someone wants to take it over from | |
| 44 | me, discuss it in perl-porters. I'll be happy to hand it | |
| 45 | over. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | Anyway, I have a bunch of people to thank. I didn't | |
| 48 | use what any of them sent in, but I did take ideas from | |
| 49 | all of them. Many sent in complete new implamentations. | |

| 61 | The end result is a very slight change in the API. There | |
| 62 | is now an additional package variable: $Text::Wrap::huge. | |
| 63 | When $huge is set to 'die' then long words will cause | |
| 64 | wrap() to die. When it is set to 'wrap', long words will | |
| 65 | be wrapped. The default is 'wrap'. | |
| 66 | ||
| 67 | <shout>LONG WORDS WILL NOW BE WRAPPED BY DEFAULT</shout>. | |
| 68 | This is a change in behavior. | |
| 69 | ||
| 70 | At the bottom of Text::Wrap, there was a function (fill()) | |
| 71 | sitting there unpublished. There was a note that Tim Pierce | |
| 72 | had a faster version, but a search on CPAN failed to turn it | |
| 73 | up. Text::Fill is now available. | |
