    Bug Fixes
    * Metaphone() no longer leaks memory. [rt.cpan.org 20901]
    
    Performance
    * Eliminated a Perl function wrapper around the XS code.  Its about
      twice as fast now.

1.96  Thu Mar  4 18:44:02 EST 1999
    - DumbFS fix, changed metaphone.c to metaphone_c.c so that
      the XS generated file Metaphone.c does not conflict with
      it on case-insensitive filesystems. (Thanks Pudge)

1.95  Wed Jan 27 15:02:47 EST 1999
    * Fixed 'CK'->'KK' bug. ('CK' is now 'K')
    - Added README and INSTALL docs
    - Moved test.pl to t/metaphone.t

1.94  Fri Jan 22 15:26:30 EST 1999

    * Fixed array boundry problems in ENCODE.

1.92  Tue Jan  5 21:44:11 EST 1999

    * Alterations to algorithm:
        SCHW    -> X    'Schwern', 'Schwartz'
        SCH     -> SK   'School'

Heh, what happened to 1.00?  Never existed, it was supposed to be the gamma
release of the pure perl version of the module.  Skipped straight to 1.90, 
alpha XS version.

BTW  The new XS version is about 40x faster than the old perl version. :)
