v1.2.11 14 Nov 2019
Release notes
- add support for combined initials - without separating space (e.g. in 'TJ Hooker' or 'T.J. Hooker')
  (This slightly changes the parsing behaviour as e.g. TJ Hooker would have previously ended up as Tj Hooker, with Tj being the first name. However, this was seen as a bug, so this change is not treated as a breaking change.)
