Revision history for Perl extension Geo::Distance.
0.17 2011-06-28
-
Fix circular package dependencies with Geo::Distance::XS (not really
an issue practically, but then again it wasn't really helping).
0.16
-
No changes. The 0.15 package was broken.
0.15
-
Stop "Too late to run INIT block" warning (gray <gray@cpan.org>)
0.14
-
Fix "splice() offset past end of array" as filed in RT 26446.
0.13
-
Use Geo::Distance::XS if available. (gray <gray@cpan.org>)
-
Declare Math::Trig dependency.
0.12
-
Noted GIS::Distance in POD.
-
Some cleanups to install process.
-
Check for DBI in tests before using it.
0.11 : 2005-09-01
-
Fixed some errors in the documentation.
-
Added an highly accurate ellipsoid formula.
-
lon_field and lat_field were not being used by closest. (D. Hageman)
0.10 : 2005-07-11
-
The closest() method has a changed argument syntax and no longer
supports array searches.
-
The closest() method works!
-
A real gcd formula (still, hsin is much better).
-
Tweaked docs.
-
Added some tests (yay!).
0.09 : 2005-04-01
-
Modified the todo list to include ideas for future algorithms.
-
Fixed the nautical mile, mile, yard, and light second units.
-
Added the British spellings for kilometre, metre, and centimetre.
-
Added the poppy seed, barleycorn, rod, pole, perch, chain,
furlong, league, fathom, millimeter, and millimetre units.
-
The totw.pl script was written by Ren and can be used to
take over the world.
0.08 : 2005-03-20
-
Updated the README description.
-
Removed debug print()s. Eeek!
0.07 : 2005-03-16
-
Intermixed documentation with code so it is easier to keep
the docs up-to-date.
-
OO interface only - method interface completely removed.
-
By default no units are defined. Call default_units.
-
Slightly more precise measurement of the base kilometer rho.
-
Added "nautical mile" unit type.
-
Reworked the closest() function.
0.06 : 2004-06-29
-
Optional Haversine formula.
-
Misc documentation tweaks.
0.05 : 2003-03-19
-
Added a note in the documentation about the
inaccuracies of using Math::Trig.
-
The 'mile' unit was being calculated wrong which
meant it was returning very inaccurate distances.
-
Fixed a silly bug where a sub was being relied
on that no longer exists.
-
Documentation tweaks as usual.
0.04 : 2003-02-18
-
Documentation revised once again.
-
Added reg_unit() for adding your own unit type.
-
find_closest has been overhauled:
-
Now accepts more than one field in the
field=>'' parameter.
-
Will now return an array reference
of distances instead of attaching the
distances to the locations array ref.
-
A little more effecient.
-
Now accepts a count argument.
-
Accepts an array reference for searching.
Mostly good for testing, but who knows?
-
Removed geo_ portion of names for exported
functions.
-
Removed some of the input checking. Just not
necessary.
-
Enhanced tests. Now we're actually doing some
real testing. Need more tests tho.
0.03 : 2003-02-15
-
Documentation modified.
-
Added find_closest() which accepts a $dbh for
searching in an SQL database.
-
distance_dirty() can now accept locations as
array refs.
0.02 : 2003-02-14
-
Based on a suggestion by Jack D. I migrated the code
to use Math::Trig for most of the distance math.
-
POD documentation written.
-
Object oriented interface created.
