[FIXES]
New Macs are shipping with Test::Harness 1.85, and ack's test
confuse it. I added a requirement of Test::Harness 2.50. The
specific version is somewhat arbitrary.

The -o and --output switches now properly show all matches on
a line, not just the first one.

[ENHANCEMENTS]
Added the -1 switch, which makes ack only give one match of
whatever it is you're looking for, and stop searching after it
finds it. Say that you know there's a Perl file with "foo" in
the name, you can do

ack -1 --perl -g foo

and ack will show the first file matching "foo", and stop once
it finds the file.

[INTERNALS]
Split up more of the code into functions in App::Ack. This is
to make things easier for Gabor Szabo's wack project.


1.65_01 Fri Aug 10 00:28:55 CDT 2007

[ENHANCEMENTS]
Added --passthru switch, to print all lines, whether or not they
match. This is something that could potentially get used a lot,
so I'm not sure that --passthru is the best name. I'm open to
suggestions.

Added FORTRAN support. Thanks, Tod Hagan.

Now ignores .pc directories for the Quilt patch management
system. Thanks, Dirk Jagdmann.

The -i switch now works with the -g switch. Thanks, Leland
Johnson.
