3Added $separator2 and tests for $separator and $separator2

5Aristotle Pagaltzis <pagaltzis at gmx.de> contributed a new version of
6expand() that is faster.
7
8Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi at cc.hut.fi> sent in perl change #17917 which
9fixed a bug in wrap.
10
11Matthew Durante <matthew_durante at hotmail.com> and
12Don Buchholz <don at truedisk.com> sent in a doc patches.

15
16Philip Newton <Philip.Newton at gmx.net> sent in a clean patch that
17added support for defining words differently; that prevents
18Text::Wrap from untainting strings; and that fixes a documentation
19bug.
20
21So that fill.t can be used in the version included in the perl
22distribution, fill.t no longer uses File::Slurp.
23
24Both Sweth Chandramouli <svc at sweth.net> and Drew Degentesh
25<ddegentesh at daed.com> both objected to the automatic unexpand
26that Text::Wrap does on its results.  Drew sent a patch which
27has been integrated.
28
29Way back in '97, Joel Earl <jrearl at VNET.IBM.COM> asked that
30it be possible to use a line separator other than \n when
31adding new lines.  There is now support for that.

34
35Bugfix by Michael G Schwern <schwern at pobox.com>: don't add extra
36whitespace when working one an array of input (as opposed to a
37single string).
38
39Performance rewrite: use m/\G/ rather than s///.
40
41You can now specify that words that are too long to wrap can simply
42overflow the line.  Feature requested by James Hoagland
43<hoagland at SiliconDefense.com> and by John Porter <jdporter at min.net>.
44
45Documentation changes from Rich Bowen <Rich at cre8tivegroup.com>.

49Combined Fill.pm into Wrap.pm.  It appears there are versions of
50Wrap.pm with fill in them.

54Over the last couple of years, many people sent in various
55rewrites of Text::Wrap.  I should have done something about
56updating it long ago.  If someone wants to take it over from
57me, discuss it in perl-porters.  I'll be happy to hand it
58over.
59
60Anyway, I have a bunch of people to thank.  I didn't
61use what any of them sent in, but I did take ideas from
62all of them.  Many sent in complete new implamentations.

74The end result is a very slight change in the API.  There
75is now an additional package variable: $Text::Wrap::huge.
76When $huge is set to 'die' then long words will cause
77wrap() to die.  When it is set to 'wrap', long words will
78be wrapped.  The default is 'wrap'.
79
80<shout>LONG WORDS WILL NOW BE WRAPPED BY DEFAULT</shout>.
81This is a change in behavior.
82
83At the bottom of Text::Wrap, there was a function (fill())
84sitting there unpublished.  There was a note that Tim Pierce
85had a faster version, but a search on CPAN failed to turn it
86up.  Text::Fill is now available.
