2006-02-26 Jarkko Hietaniemi * A tiny prettification/optimisation from Sebastian Nagel. * Included (finally) a words file so that there is no need to look for one in the system (obsoletes the patch suggested in "[rt.cpan.org #17820] MSWin32 test fix"). * Release as 1.17. 2004-05-12 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Newlines in patterns didn't work. Fix from Bart Lateur. * Limit the number of words used for the big test, split the big test to its own test file. * Release as 1.16. Tue May 16 05:25:01 2000 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Sigh. The t/presuf.t would also fail if no words file could be found because of faulty test logic. Reported by Paul Schinder. * Release as 1.15. * The ppclinux /usr/dict/words still tripped the test suite. (No actual bug in the presuf() code) Reported by Paul Schinder. * Release as 1.14. Mon May 15 22:46:45 2000 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Add aggregate timings to the big test, the original patch supplied by Mike Giroux. * Cosmetics changes in presuf.t output. * Release as 1.13. Mon May 15 00:53:00 2000 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Ahem. In 1.11 I fixed the test suite against empty test inputs but forgot to fix presuf() itself against empty inputs. * Release as 1.12. * The test suite would got stuck if there were no words beginning with a certain letter. Reported by Paul Schinder. * Now testing also words ending with a certain letter. * Give an estimate on the remaining testing time on the big vocabulary test as it may take a while. * Release as 1.11. Fri May 12 23:16:07 2000 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Handle metacharacters: now you can use the regular expression metacharacters in your words withour fear of the resulting regex being illegal (famous last words?) Note that this also also means that if you have been using metacharacters in your words, they will now be backslash-protected. * Run a big test (and time-consuming, up to several minutes) in case we can find a dictionary file (like /usr/dict/words). Show also timings compared with the naïve way. They look sweet: # Hang on, collecting words for the next test... # Got 25486 words. # NOTE THAT THIS TEST WILL TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES. # WE WILL TEST ALL THE LETTERS FROM a TO z. # Testing 1408 words beginning with 'a'... # Naïve/create: 0 wallclock secs ( 0.00 usr + 0.00 sys = 0.00 CPU) # Naïve/execute: 15 wallclock secs (14.52 usr + 0.02 sys = 14.53 CPU) # PreSuf/create: 1 wallclock secs ( 1.72 usr + 0.03 sys = 1.75 CPU) # PreSuf/execute: 3 wallclock secs ( 2.08 usr + 0.02 sys = 2.10 CPU) # Testing 1277 words beginning with 'b'... # Naïve/create: 0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr + 0.00 sys = 0.02 CPU) # Naïve/execute: 13 wallclock secs (13.08 usr + 0.03 sys = 13.12 CPU) # PreSuf/create: 2 wallclock secs ( 1.45 usr + 0.00 sys = 1.45 CPU) # PreSuf/execute: 1 wallclock secs ( 1.37 usr + 0.00 sys = 1.37 CPU) # Testing 2144 words beginning with 'c'... # Naïve/create: 0 wallclock secs ( 0.00 usr + 0.00 sys = 0.00 CPU) # Naïve/execute: 23 wallclock secs (22.40 usr + 0.05 sys = 22.45 CPU) # PreSuf/create: 3 wallclock secs ( 2.90 usr + 0.02 sys = 2.92 CPU) # PreSuf/execute: 3 wallclock secs ( 2.90 usr + 0.00 sys = 2.90 CPU) # Testing 1145 words beginning with 'd'... The naïve way is just to concatenate the words with "|" (that's the Naïve/create). PreSuf/create is the presuf() call. The */execute are the running times of the respective regular expressions. * Release as 1.10. The jump in the version number is warranted by the fixed handling of metacharacters. Thu May 11 23:15:16 2000 Jarkko Hietaniemi * PreSuf.pm: make the debug prints only to show up when debugging requested (aaargh, I've developed a bad habit of doing this lately, leaving debugging on for the released versions), spotted by Mike Giroux. * Fix two bugs spotted by Mike Giroux: qw(rattle rattlesnake) and qw(rata ratepayer rater) didn't produced correct results. * Release as 1.03. Sat May 6 01:17:24 2000 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Fix a bug where qw(aba a) was presufixed as 'ab?a', which incorrectly matches qw(aba aa). Now correctly produces 'a(?:ba)?'. Bug spotted by Mark Kvale. * Release as 1.02. Wed Apr 12 19:33:37 2000 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Release as 1.01. Wed Apr 12 05:49:52 2000 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Tell about prefix_length() and suffix_length(). * Fixed tiny documentation nits. * Bump version number to 0.005.
