But this is not the case of the above mentioned ftp file. > > Regards, > -- > Hostmaster :: LACNIC Registration Group IP-Country-2.19, 2005.04.27 --------------------------- Congratulations to AfriNIC, which has become the fifth Regional Internet Registry, serving Africa and the Indian Ocean. Amended LACNIC acceptable use. Contacted LACNIC to check I'm still OK. Removed dependency for Geography::Countries (but *not* from ip2cc) Removed MaxMind tests, as I have no time to fix. Database update: /ripe/dbase/split/ripe.db.inetnum.gz /pub/stats/arin/delegated-arin-latest (Apr 27) /public/apnic/stats/apnic/delegated-apnic-latest (Apr 27) /pub/stats/lacnic/delegated-lacnic-latest (Apr 27) /pub/stats/afrinic/delegated-afrinic-latest (Apr 27) IP-Country-2.18, 2004.10.22 --------------------------- Fixed BUG in testsuite (thx k.heinz-cpan at onlinehome.de): rt.cpan.org IDs 4454 and 7840 More than a year since a DB update, and people are complaining. Database update: /ripe/dbase/split/ripe.db.inetnum.gz (Oct 22) /pub/stats/arin/delegated-arin-20041022 /public/apnic/stats/apnic/delegated-apnic-20041022 /pub/stats/lacnic/delegated-lacnic-20041021 IP-Country-2.17, 2003.09.15 --------------------------- IP::Country::MaxMind added IP::Country::Fast no longer uses top-level domains from hostnames. IP-Country-2.16, 2003.09.12 --------------------------- IMPORTANT CHANGE!!! UK now stored as GB to follow standard. Less important changes: I've changed my name. Database update: apnic-2003-09-12 arin.20030912 lacnic.20030912 ripe.db.inetnum ripencc.20030911 Note that aup_dump.txt has disappeared. IP-Country-2.15, 2003.08.04 --------------------------- Database update: apnic-2003-08-04 arin.20030804 aup_dump.txt lacnic.20030804 ripe.db.inetnum ripencc.20030803 IP-Country-2.14, 2003.07.07 --------------------------- Database update: apnic-2003-07-07 arin.20030701 aup_dump.txt (Jul 6 20:49) lacnic.20030701 ripe.db.inetnum (Jul 7 03:40) IP-Country-2.13, 2003.04.08 --------------------------- Slight documentation changes. Added a CLI to IP::Country, named ip2cc (thanks, Lin Yung-Chung <XERN>). IP-Country-2.12, 2003.04.07 --------------------------- Slight documentation change. Monthly database update: apnic-2003-04-01 aup_dump.txt (Apr 6 23:46) arin.20030401 lacnic.20030401 ripe.db.inetnum (Apr 7 01:38) ripencc.20030406 IP-Country-2.11, 2003.02.04 --------------------------- Skipped two point versions to sync with Java version numbers. Email me if you're interested in the java version. Added method to find revision date of database (thx Paul Gampe). Date is stored as first four bytes of database. Unbundled Geography::Countries, as it screws the indexing of abigail's version on http://search.cpan.org/ Monthly database update: apnic-2003-02-01 arin.20030201 aup_dump.txt (Feb 4 05:37) lacnic.20030201 ripe.db.inetnum (Feb 4 01:37) ripencc.20030203 IP-Country-2.08, 2003.01.08 --------------------------- Bundled Geography::Countries (thx Abigail). First release to use full arin data, and all summary files (they probably can't do any harm with the new handicapping code): apnic-2003-01-01 arin.20030101 lacnic.20030101 ripencc.20030101 aup_dump.txt.gz (Jan 7 20:34) ripe.db.inetnum (Jan 7 23:52) IP-Country-2.07, 2003.01.01 --------------------------- First release of IP::Authority, a module that performs fast lookup of Internet authority by IP address. Monthly database update: apnic-2003-01-01 arin.20030101 lacnic.20030101 ripe.db.inetnum (31/12/02 23:52:00) IP-Country-2.06, 2002.12.30 --------------------------- After a conversation with Katie Petrusha (RIPE Database Administration), I've now switched to using the full RIPE database, rather than the statistics. Many, many thanks to her for her expert advice. The database is now based on around 750,000 separate IP ranges. So, the database is now bigger and slightly slower (but not to the extent that anyone should notice). I think the performance hit is worthwhile considering the benefit of the increased accuracy. Again, thank you Katie for the hints. If anyone from ARIN, APNIC or LACNIC is in a similar position to help me out with their databases, please let me know. Also, requested confirmation from the RIRs that their copyright notices were correct, and have altered the copyright appropriately. IP-Country-2.05, 2002.12.18 --------------------------- Jump distance to next node now stored as variable-length, which reduces database size to 73KB. IP-Country-2.04, 2002.12.17 --------------------------- Removed raw files. Fixed minor bug that affected *one* IP address! IP-Country-2.03, 2002.12.16 --------------------------- Documentation upgrade. IP-Country-2.02, 2002.12.16 --------------------------- Oops! Forgot to make clean before zipping up the distribution. My bad! IP-Country-2.01, 2002.12.15 --------------------------- Switched to a more efficient storage mechanism, based on a binary tree. Have already optimized the country code storage. In future revisions, will reduce storage requirements again, so that the whole database occupies only (70KB). At the moment, it's around 142KB, which is a lot smaller than the 512KB it had previously occupied when using DBM files. Memory usage during execution is minimal (<200KB), and will reduce as the database size reduces. Seems to work on Macintosh, which was a worry about bundling the built database. The database has a .gif extension, which may help prevent munging when transferring between non-sane systems. Within the next few revisions, I will publish the database schematics, and build a C++ interface for reading the database. Hence the avoidance of hashes in the code. Remaining hash (%cc) may or may not be replaced depending on speed implications. All manipulation of binary file data is now through some form of pack('N',$foo) or unpack('N',$bar), which seem to be reliably cross platform. IP-Country-2.00, 2002.12.13 --------------------------- No longer relies on AnyDBM_File. Memory usage has been halved and module loading time has been shortened. Now bundled with built database, which reduces complexity of Makefile.PL. IP-Country-1.99, 2002.12.12 --------------------------- Updated arin and lacnic database. Have now preprocessed raw files. Laid foundations for version 2, which will have much smaller database, based on a binary tree. 'GB' country codes changed to 'UK'. Private IP addresses (RFC1918) now have country of '**'. IP-Country-1.70, 2002.12.02 --------------------------- December 2002 update of ripe database. IP-Country-1.69, 2002.11.19 --------------------------- LACNIC added. IP-Country-1.68, 2002.11.19 --------------------------- Added non-allocated areas to database as undef - 20% speedup. IP-Country-1.67, 2002.11.13 --------------------------- Combined IP::Registry with IP::Country. From tests, previous IP::Country has no significant advantage over IP::Registry, and so has been relegated to the IP::Country::Slow class. New class has been introduced named IP::Country::Medium, which caches nameserver lookups, but which tries to find country from database before performing nameserver lookup. CHANGES for IP::Registry have been incorporated into this file. IP-Registry-0211.007, 2002.11.12 - vacation release -------------------------------- BUGFIX: weird IP range problem has been fixed by chopping ranges into smaller ranges that are exact powers of two. Coverage of random IP addresses has now jumped from around 40% to around 43%. Reduced size of IP range hash by about 28,000 ranges. Lookup now proceeds acording to distribution of IP addresses within each range. The associated performace boost is about 40% :) IP-Country-1.66, 2002.11.08 --------------------------- Returns undef for private nets (RFC1918). IP-Country-1.65, 2002.11.08 --------------------------- First attempt at producing a combined interface to the internet address registries and domain name system. Seems to work. Yes, I know the version number is a joke. IP-Registry-0211.006, 2002.11.08 -------------------------------- Performance boost. Now looks up about 10,000 IP addresses per second. This is on 730MHz Pentium III (Coppermine) with 512MB RAM. I think I'll stop optimizing now. w00t! Tests switched from Test::More to Test, as people complained about downloading modules. IP-Registry-0211.005, 2002.11.08 -------------------------------- If hostname ends in two-letter top-level domain, this is changed to upper case and returned, with no further processing (thx, Rob Knobben, Rivals Digital Media). IP-Registry-0211.004, 2002.11.08 -------------------------------- Tweak to Makefile.PL that should shorten installation time. Documented the weird IP range problem. IP-Registry-0211.003, 2002.11.08 -------------------------------- Performance boost. On my machine, was looking up one IP address every 17 seconds. Now looks up more than 256 IPs per second! Like the old programming adage goes - "make it work, then make it fast". IP-Registry-0211.002, 2002.11.07 -------------------------------- Now uses AnyDBM_File, which should be a bit more compatible. A couple of typos have been fixed in the POD. README added. IP-Registry-0211.001, 2002.11.07 -------------------------------- First attempt at producing a combined interface to the internet address registries. Seems to work. <--------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6---------7-> <-------------- THE SEVENTY-TWO CHARACTER COLUMN-OMETER --------------->
