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

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

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

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

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- sitting there unpublished.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