MARC::Record
There's a new version of MARC::Record.
[ENHANCEMENTS]MARC::Field::update() by default will append any subfields which do not exist in the record to the end of the field. Added tests to check the new functionality to 60.update.t[FIXES]Updated MARC::Lint to use the latest field/subfield designations from the Library of Congress. The data for MARC::Lint is now automatically generated from the LC webpage. Thanks go to Colin Campbell of Sirsi for the program that does the translation.removed MARC::Lint check_260() since a subfield c is not mandatory (see RT #1565).
The updated field/subfield designations is huge. Going to be adding MARC::Specs soon so that there will be access to MARC fields, subfields, and so on from your own programs. Thanks to Colin for making this possible.
Closed all the bugs that relate to "MARC::Lint is wrong about this subfield".
