[Encode] 1.77 Released

[Dan Kogai]

Porters,

   I am releasing Encode 1.77 to accommodate the up-and-coming changes 
to bleedperl that makes tr/// free of eval qq{} under "use encoding" 
pragma.  This problem was addressed by me as;

Whole Package -- to be uploaded to CPAN soon:
http://www.dan.co.jp/~dankogai/Encode-1.77.tar.gz

Patch against bleedperl (242 lines) for Hugo:
http://www.dan.co.jp/~dankogai/current-1.77.diff.gz

And here is the Changes.  This one also includes minor alias fix by 
Autrijus.

$Revision: 1.77 $ $Date: 2002/10/06 03:27:02 $
! t/jperl.t
   * Modified to accomodate up and comming patch by Inaba-san that
 will fix tr/// needing eval qq{}
 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
! encoding.pm
   * pod fixes/enhancements to reflect the changes above
! lib/Encode/Alias.pm
   "Encode::TW is correct, Encode::Alias not." - /Autrijus/
   Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Note this update alone will NOT fix the tr/// vs. use encoding problem 
noted above,  the real fix needs to be applied to bleedperl (regcomp.c 
and such).  The patch was already made available by Inaba Hiroto 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (IsP for short)and my preliminary tests already 
show that it works with a minor fix to ext/Encode/t/jperl.t.  Hence the 
update to Encode prior to bleedperl patch.

Here is the proposed schedule before IsP goes into bleedperl;

The Encode update complies step 0.  Though this update is primarily for 
bleedperl, it is perl 5.8.0-safe.

Please allow some time before step 2-3.  I would like Inaba-san's help 
on 2 and I am rather busy recently

currently, the Encode::Alias module used by your Encode::compat does
not always resolve to an encoding name known by GNU libiconv. The
current version of libiconv, 1.8, knows the following names and
aliases:

The list above is the result of 'iconv -l'. I browsed a bit through
the source files and found that all these names are defined in the
files lib/encodings*.def. All the platform independent encodings are
defined in 'encodings.def' which contains the following:
