- improve conversion of certain composed characters to MARC8
Some characters should not be fully decomposed
before converting them to MARC8. This patch adds
a table of such characters, based on Annex A of
http://www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/2006/2006-04.html
and on some sample records provided by Jason
Stephenson of MVLC.
- recognize G0 and G1 characters properly
When converting from MARC8 to UTF8, MARC::Charset now
properly recognizes if a (single-byte) MARC8 character falls
in G0 or G1.
This is part of the fix for RT#63271 (converting characters
in the Extended Cyrillic character set), but should also
fix similar issues with converting characters in the extended
Arabic set.
This commit also means that all MARC8 character sets that support
both G0 and G1 wll be properly converted, regardless of whether
they\'re currently set as the G0 or G1 character set. For example,
it is now possible to convert Extended Latin as G0 or Basic Latin
as G1.
This fixes RT#63271
- have MARC::Charset::Code->marc_value() handle G0/G1 conversion
Since there\'s at present no need to do things like have
ANSEL be the G0 character set when converting from UTF8 to
MARC8, this commit centralizes the logic for deciding
whether to return the G0 or G1 MARC8 representation of a
character.
Also add MARC::Charset::Code->g0_marc_value(), which returns
the G0 representation of the character for use by the
character DB.
- New test cases for converting Vietnamese and Extended Cyrillic
text.

- RT#83257: use AnyDBM_File rather than hardcode GDBM_File
To improve portability, use AnyDBM_File to select a DBM
rather than rely on GDBM_File. GDBM_File apparently used
to be a core module, but not all distributions included it,
particularly OS X. In any event, GDBM_File is no longer
core.
This patch also includes a tweak to allow MARC::Charset to
work with NDBM_File and ODBM_File, neither of which
support \'exists\'.
I\'ve tested MARC::Charset successfully on the following
DBMs:
- GDBM_File
- DB_File
- NDBM_File
- ODBM_File
- SDBM_File
This is also my preferred order; SDBM_File is selected last
because it produces the biggest data file on disk.
- RT#38912: fix mapping of double diacritics (ligature and double
tilde).
Thanks to Thomas P. Ventimiglia for the bug report and test case.
1.33 Thu Aug 4 23:25:14 EDT 2011
- move build_db() to separate .PL script so that module can be
built even if Class::Accessor and other dependencies aren\'t
available before Makefile.PL is run.
- list GDBM_File as an explicit dependency, as some distributions
like ActivePerl don\'t include it even though it is a
core module.
1.32 Thu Jun 30 16:38:32 EDT 2011
- make sure utf8 flag set in output of marc8_to_utf8
1.31 Thu Sep 30 10:53:00 EDT 2010
- minor revision to get v1.3 Changes into the CPAN distro :-)
1.3 Wed Sep 29 10:26:49 EDT 2010
- added latest codetables.xml from
http://www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/codetables.xml (thanks to
Mark Muehlhaeusler for noticing that there were some Arabic updates.
I reapplied the changes that François Charette suggested in v0.98
which are still not present in LC\'s codetable :-(

- update to 1.02:
+ use Storable::nfreeze instead of Storable::freeze to get a more
portable character set database. Reported and fixed by Niko Tyni
of debian http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=579517
+ trim the size of the character mapping db by 70 times!
Uses GDBM_File instead of SDBM_File.
+ Addition of characters used by III ILSs which are not covered
by the official LoC codetables. Thanks go to Galen Charlton.
+ Removed PREREQ_FATAL from Makefile.PL to make CPAN testers happy

Tue Feb 12 13:00:00 2008 larsAATTlinux-schulserver.de
- update to 0.98:
+ addition of two code elements to etc/codetables.xml that enable
the conversion of some Arabic records that contain 0x8D and 0x8E
which ought to map to 0x200D and 0x200C in Unicode. These mappings
are present for Basic and Extended Latin, but are not present
in Arabic codetables. There are actually some records that seem
to prove the need for these rules (LCCN 2006552991). Thanks to
François Charette for finding and proposing
the fix. Rules were forwarded on to LC for inclusion in canonical
character set mapping.
+ added t/farsi.t and t/farsi.marc to enable testing of new
code rules. Hopefully this will fail if the codetables.xml is
inadvertently removed without LC having added the new rules.
