Revision history for Perl CPAN module Lingua::En::NameParse
1.38 26 Oct 2018
Allowed for names of type Jo A. Lin, thanks to Mike Edwards via Github
Note that an ambiguity now arises for names such as Mr ME Adam Symonds
the parser will assume a first name of ME, when it is actually the initials.
The surname should be Adam-Symonds to parse correctly
Fixed typo in %component_order in NameParse.pm
Updated report method to not issue warning on empty results from case_all_reversed method
1.37 18 Aug 2018
Allow case_all_reverse to work with name type of 'John' (thanks to Hugh S. Myers for reporting this)
Fixed github issue for EdwardsMike, 2 letter surname not correctly parsed
Renamed github repo to HumanNameParser
1.36 15 Jul 2016
Added religious title Rev (for Reverand RT bug #116080)
Added more military titles
Improved documentation
1.35 5 Jul 2016
Used github as repository
Improved documentation
1.34 1 Jun 2016
Added military title Pvt (for Private in the USA) RT bug #113972
1.33 22 Apr 2015
Removed 'Mr_J_Adam_Smith' name type. Names that were most likely double surnames were being incorrectly parsed
For example 'Mr A Smythe Taylor' was getting middle name of 'Smythe'. Should be picked up as error.
Surname should be 'Smythe-Taylor'
Fold all text to upper case prior to parsing, regexp matching is faster if case insensitive
Note that this means all components are now NameCased by default.
The case_components method has been removed as the 'components' method achieves the same outcome
The force_case option has been removed
non_matching text moved from properties to components
Use extended regexp (/x) in grammar for better readability
Simplified grammar and removed duplicate definitions
Removed all full stops before parsing as this simplifies grammar, so: Mr. A.B. Smith => Mr AB Smith
Added more valid prefixes
'report' method now tests all functions
removed indirect object notation for 'new' method
added error and warning description attributes to name object
1.32 11 Nov 2013
Removed &s from start of subroutine calls (obsolete syntax)
Fixed typo RT bug 88573
case_surname does not process undefined or blank input, stops warning message occuring
1.31 24 Jun 2013
Wherever program returned 'undef' changed to just a return statement, fix for RT bug 85491
Added error handling to synopsis examples
1.30 31 Mar 2011

Allowed for two types of salutation, given_name and title_plus_surname
1.27 4 Jul 2010
Changed my cygwin fstab file to use noacl option for default mount points.
Before this, the tar tool was creating directories with no read permision.
1.26 3 Jul 2010
Made line endings consistent in all files, with Unix style EOL markers
1.25 2 Jul 2010
Changed the parse method to match the documentation. It was returning a name
object and an error flag, when only the flag was required. Note that this
caused no problem if used as documented, the error value was still assigned
correctly, and the name object assigned to nothing. Thanks to Chris Prather.
Added 'use warnings' to modules
1.24 6 Jan 2008
Removed one more use to $_ in case_surname subroutine. Thanks to Ben Martin
1.23 23 Nov 2006
