Revision history for Perl extension MARC::Errorchecks.

Version 1.13: Updated Aug. 26, 2007. Released Oct. 3, 2007.

 -Uncommented valid MARC 21 leader values in %ldrbytes to remove local practice. Libraries wishing to restrict leader values should comment out individual bytes to enable errors when an unwanted value is encountered.
 -Added ldrvalidate.t.pl and ldrvalidate.t tests.
 -Includes version 1.18 of MARC::Lint::CodeData.

Version 1.12: Updated July 5-Nov. 17, 2006. Released Feb. 25, 2007.

 -Updated check_bk008_vs_300($record) to look for missing period after 'col' in subfield 'b'.
 -Replaced $field-tag() with $tag in error message reporting in check_nonpunctendingfields($record).
 -Turned off 50-field limit check in check_fieldlength($record).
 -Updated parse008vs300b($illcodes, $field300subb) to look for /map[ \,s]/ rather than just 'map' when 008 is coded 'b'.
 -Updated check_bk008_vs_bibrefandindex($record) to look for spacing on each side of parenthetical pagination.
 -Updated check_internal_spaces($record) to report 10 characters on either side of each set of multiple internal spaces.
 -Uncommented level-5 and level-7 leader values as acceptable. Level-3 is still commented out, but could be uncommented for libraries that allow it.
 -Includes version 1.14 of MARC::Lint::CodeData.

Version 1.11: Updated June 5, 2006. Released June 6, 2006.

 -Implemented check_006($record) to validate 006 (currently only does length check).
 --Revised validate008($field008, $mattype, $biblvl) to use internal sub for material specific bytes (18-34)
 -Revised validate008($field008, $mattype, $biblvl) language code (008/35-37) to report new 'zxx' code availability when '   ' is the code in the record.

Version 1.10: Updated Sept. 5-Jan. 2, 2006. Released Jan. 2, 2006.

 -check_bk008_vs_bibrefandindex($record) updated to check for 'p. ' following bibliographical references when pagination is present.
 -check_5xxendingpunctuation($record) reports question mark or exclamation point followed by period as error.
 -check_5xxendingpunctuation($record) now checks 505.
 -Updated check_nonpunctendingfields($record) to account for initialisms with interspersed periods.

 --This is a change from previous range, which gave dates as 00-06 as 200x, 80-99 as 19xx, and 07-79 as invalid. 
 -Added _get_current_date() internal sub to assist with check of creation date vs. current date.

 -added field count check for more than 50 fields to check_fieldlength($record)
 -added 'webliography' as acceptable 'bibliographical references' term in check_bk008_vs_bibrefandindex($record), even though it is discouraged. Consider adding an error message indicating that the term should be 'bibliographical references'?
 -Code indenting changed from tabs to 4 spaces per tab.
 -Misc. bug fixes including changing '==' to 'eq' for tag numbers, bytes in 008, and indicators.

 -Changed #! line, removed -w, replaced with use warnings.
 -Added error message to check_bk008_vs_bibrefandindex($record) if 008 book
 index byte is not 0 or 1. This will result in duplicate errors if check_008 is
 also called on the record.
