2005-11-14  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* CompareInfo.cs : added support for OrdinalIgnoreCase.

2005-10-31  Miguel de Icaza  <[email protected]>

	* HijriCalendar.cs, HebrewCalendar.cs, JulianCalendar.cs,
	GregorianCalendar.cs, JapaneseCalendar.cs, Calendar.cs,
	TaiwanCalendar.cs, HijriCalendar.cs: Add
	CalendarAlgorithmType, MinSupportedDateTime, MaxSupportedDateTime
	properties. 

	* Added ComVisibleAttribute in a bunch of places, using the fully
	qualified name to speed up cut and paste.
	
2005-10-14  Ben Maurer  <[email protected]>

	* DateTimeFormatInfo.cs: Speed up GetAllDateTimePatterns by
	caching the result and then cloning it.

2005-10-10  Ben Maurer  <[email protected]>

	* DateTimeFormatInfo.cs: Rather than having a + ' ' + b, have a +
	" " + b. This lets us avoid 1) boxing the char and 2) calling
	char.ToString. Results in a fairly substantial savings on
	DateTime.Parse.

2005-09-21  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* CompareInfo.cs : switched to "managed collation by default" mode.

2005-08-30  Sebastien Pouliot  <[email protected]>

	* CompareInfo.cs: Use Environment.internalGetEnvironmentVariable as
	the .cctor gets executed before the security manager is ready to be
	activated (and cause recursion with --security).

2005-08-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* RegionInfo.cs : unlocked CurrentRegion creation.

2005-08-16  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

2005-08-12  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* DateTimeFormatInfo.cs : GetAbbreviatedEraNames() and GetEra().

2005-08-11  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* CompareInfo.cs : added IsSortable(). (NET_2_0)

2005-08-08  Gert Driesen  <[email protected]>

	* CompareInfo.cs: Marked UseManagedCollation internal to have API 
	match that of MS.NET.

2005-08-02  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* CompareInfo.cs :
	  Added managed collation support. It won't be activated unless you 
	  explicitly set environment MONO_USE_MANAGED_COLLATION=yes.

2005-08-02  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* CompareInfo.cs : LastIndexOf() which takes startIndex without length
	  should use startIndex+1 as length.

2005-07-12  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* CompareInfo.cs : IndexOf(string, char, ...) overloads must not
	  specify start as 0. Use source.Length - 1 instead.

2005-06-27 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <[email protected]>

	* NumberFormatInfo.cs: undo workaround for bug 55978 as it's not needed
	any more. This fixed bug #75396.

2005-06-07 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: added internal method to check for a culture
	valid for formatting. Correctly get the calendar type.  Before
	it was always type 0. Thanks to Mcs for pointing this out.

2005-05-06  Miguel de Icaza  <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: Eliminate double-check lock always init the invariant_culture_info.

2005-05-06 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: made a few variables 'volatile'. GetCultures now
	returns the InvariantCulture in the array. Fixes bug #72081.

2005-04-27  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* TextInfo.cs : Some performance fixes. Avoid delegate.
	  Compute parent culture only once. Quick ASCII range check.

2005-04-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* TextInfo.cs : extremely strict null check (which should not happen).

2005-04-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* TextInfo.cs : Additional null check for Parent CultureInfo.

2005-04-06  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* TextInfo.cs : To make new CultureInfo (127) as invariant, it should
	  not compare object Equals() against InvariantCulture.

2005-04-05  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* TextInfo.cs : Fixed ToTitleCase() so that
	  - handle some titlecase characters in Latin ang Greek.
	  - it keeps "all title case" word as is ("ABC" does not become "Abc").
	  - it can handle such string like "1ABc".

2005-04-04  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* TextInfo.cs : implemented culture sensitive ToLower() and ToUpper()
	  which behaves exactly the same as MS.NET does.

2005-02-09  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: Added field needed for serialization
	interoperability with MS.NET. Also fixed default value for
	the constructor.

2005-01-31  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* NumberFormatInfo.cs : allow zero length sizes. patch by Kazuki
	  Oikawa.

2005-01-20  Jackson Harper  <[email protected]>

	IsNeutralCulture. Fixes bug #59716.

2004-12-13  Ben Maurer  <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs (Clone): Make the components of the culture read-write
	as well.

2004-10-14  Miguel de Icaza  <[email protected]>

	* TextInfo.cs (ToString) Fix the return value for ToString.

	(Add a new parameter: the CultureInfo, since we implemented things
	in terms of the CultureInfo in our runtime, and not the
	TextInfo). 

	(ToTitleCase): Fix to do title case for each word on the string
	per the spec.

Wed Jun 30 17:06:43 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <[email protected]>

	* NumberFormatInfo.cs: workaround for bug 55978.

2004-06-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* DateTimeFormatInfo.cs : check if pattern array is empty or not. Now
	  icall fills them as possible empty list.

	* DateTimeFormatInfo.cs: added TODO for serialization
	* GregorianCalendar.cs:: added TODO for serialization

	* ThaiBuddhistCalendar.cs: added TODO for serialization

2004-06-08  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: Make calendar_data readonly, to match the
	const-ness in the runtime.

2004-05-28  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* DateTimeFormatInfo.cs : In fact GetAllDateTimePatterns() returns
	  non-unique results.  Just reordered return values looking at MS
	  invariant behavior.

2004-05-27  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* DateTimeFormatInfo.cs : 'U' is in fact the same as 'F' for pattern
	  strings. Thanks to kangaroo for the hint.

2004-05-27  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* DateTimeFormatInfo.cs : Fixed longtimes and shorttimes (exchanged).

2004-05-27  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* DateTimeFormatInfo.cs : Added some string[] fields for
	  GetAllDateTimePatterns(char). The fields will be filled in metadata
	  and culture info table. Added improved patterns for 
	  GetAllDateTimePatterns() (right now works only for invariant).
	* CultureInfo.cs : Use InvariantInfo for InvariantCulture.

2004-05-26  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* DateTimeFormatInfo.cs :
	  hack implementation for GetAllDateTimePatterns().

2004-05-17  Jackson Harper  <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: Invariant culture has the invariant culture as
	its parent....<insert joke about the south>. It is readonly so we
	can return this.
	
2004-05-17  Jackson Harper  <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: Properify error messages when invalid lcid's are
	used.

2004-05-15  Jackson Harper  <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: Initialize optional calendars. A pointer to an
	array of ints is passed back from the runtime to the CultureInfo
	object. The ints store the calendar type and any optional data
	needed to construct the calendar.
	
2004-05-14  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* HebrewCalendar.cs: Stubbed ToFourDigitYear()

	* HijriCalendar.cs: Stubbed HijriAdjustment

2004-05-13  Jackson Harper  <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: You can access DateTimeFormat and NumberFormat
	from the invariant culture.
	
2004-05-13  Jackson Harper  <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: DateTimeFormat and NumberFormat can not be
	accessed for neutral cultures.
	
2004-04-30  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* StringInfo.cs: 
	* TextElementEnumerator.cs: Implemented

2004-04-27  Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: Make specific names lower case, because all data
	in the culture info tables is lowercase.
	
2004-04-25  Andreas Nahr <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: Call invariant String.ToLower
	* RegionInfo.cs: Call invariant String.ToUpper

2004-04-11  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* NumberFormatInfo.cs : All GetXXXGroupSizes() should not return
	  internal array. Return clone as MS.NET does.

	  There still looks somewhere breaking CurrentInfo.

2004-04-08  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <[email protected]>

	* CompareInfo.cs, CultureInfo.cs, NumberFormatInfo.cs, TextInfo.cs:
	Made those serializable-compatible with MS.NET: modified fields names to 
	match MS.NET ones, and in CultureInfo added a flag to control when a
	deserialized instance need to be initialized.

2004-04-07  Jackson Harper  <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: Use new ICUless implementation in the runtime.
	* CompareInfo.cs: Get ICU name from a cultureinfo object instead
	of looking it up in the culture map.
	* RegionInfo.cs: Dont check if the LCID is neutral unless its not
	found in the switch. Avoids an icall.
	
2004-03-24  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <[email protected]>

	* NumberFormatInfo.cs: this fixes bug #56000 for me. And it doesn't
	break anything as NumberFormatInfo is sealed.

2004-02-14  Atsushi Enomoto  <[email protected]>

	* NumberFormatInfo.cs : CurrentInfo should not return clone every 
	  time (MS.NET returns the same object; try object.ReferenceEquals()).

2004-02-08 David Sheldon <[email protected]>

	* NumberFormatInfo.cs: When parsing the percentages, put the data 
	  into PercentDecimalDigits/PercentGroupLengths, rather than trashing
	  the NumberDecimatDigits etc. This also means that the percent format
	  info gets set.

2004-01-27  David Sheldon <[email protected]>

	* NumberFormatInfo.cs: InitPatterns: it seems that the patterns in 
	  ICU use digitPattern, not zeroPattern for the spaces after the 
	  decimal point. 

2004-01-12  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: Parent returns null when lcid == parent_lcid. Fixes
	bug #52102.

2003-12-20 Ben Maurer  <[email protected]>

	* CompareInfo.cs: Replace blah == "" with blah.Length == 0.
	MUCH faster. Note, we dont need to check for nulls, because
	the properties were used in other places.

2003-12-19  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* CompareInfo.cs: Added assorted shortcuts when comparing empty
	strings.  Fixed offset and length range checks to flag when <0.
	Broke test that offset >= string length to match actual ms
	behaviour (sigh.)  Fixes bug 52310.

2003-12-06  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* CompareInfo.cs: Don't build strings in Compare, IndexOf and
	LastIndexOf methods.  Avoid the icall in IndexOf and LastIndexOf
	if the search parameter is a char and the CompareOptions include
	Ordinal.

2003-12-04  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* CompareInfo.cs: Implement the deserialization callback

	* CultureInfo.cs: Allow CompareInfo to see the CultureMap so that
	it can construct the ICU collator itself

2003-12-02  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	construction from ICU.  Patch by Mohammad DAMT ([email protected]).

2003-12-01  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs: Culture name creation is case-insensitive.
	Implemented CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture.

	* CompareInfo.cs: Fix IndexOf and LastIndexOf so that they work
	for combining characters.

2003-11-05  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <[email protected]>

	* DateTimeFormatInfo.cs: Hack an era for US culture. We must look
	for other ways to get the ERA string.

2003-10-21  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* TextInfo.cs: 
	* CultureInfo.cs: Implement TextInfo.GetHashCode().  Fixes bug

	CurrentInfo (Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat).

2003-02-27  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <[email protected]>

	* CultureInfo.cs:
	(NameToID): make it case insensitive and use a hashtable instead of
	comparing all the strings.
