Revision history for perl pragma common::sense. |

3.5 Wed Mar 7 20:50:48 CET 2012 |
| 4 |
- localise $^W, as this causes warnings with 5.16 when some lost |
| 5 |
soul uses -w. common::sense doesn't support $^W, but tries to |
| 6 |
shield module authors and programs from its ill effects. If you |
| 7 |
enable $^W, then you normally get to keep the pieces because you |
| 8 |
change semantics of other people's code. |

3.4 Fri Jan 14 07:17:16 CET 2011 |
| 11 |
- remove "regexp" category. this is rather painful as it's a large |
| 12 |
class, but unfortunately, somebody thought emitting a warning when you |
| 13 |
match more than 32kb of text is in some way useful, which spoils the whole |
| 14 |
category. |
| 15 |
- use META.json instead of META.yml - apparently YAML parsers don't actually |
| 16 |
exist. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
3.3 Fri Jul 2 22:40:14 CEST 2010 |
| 19 |
- removed "exiting" category - this is too useful to create new |
| 20 |
control statements, and fails utterly with eval, as eval will |
| 21 |
catch the (fatal) warning itself. Kind of hurts, but this is |
| 22 |
just another warning category which is too broad and has to be |
| 23 |
disabled fully because of a minority of issues. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
3.2 Fri Apr 16 01:46:02 CEST 2010 |
| 26 |
- removed "substr" warning - while it overall is a good category, |
| 27 |
"substr '', 2" is entirely sensible. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
3.1 Sat Apr 3 04:56:36 CEST 2010 |
| 30 |
- removed "parenthesis" warning: |
| 31 |
sysread $fh, my $buf, -s $fh; # ok |
| 32 |
sysread $fh, my $buf, $size; # warning |
| 33 |
Made no sense to me, especially as $size is in scope. |
| 34 |
- no longer hardcode warning/struct bits, calculate them at |
| 35 |
installation time, for when I will no longer be alive etc. |
| 36 |
- tweaked documentation. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
3.0 Tue Dec 15 03:24:28 CET 2009 |
| 39 |
- enable "use utf8" effect by default. |
| 40 |
- removed "utf8" warning category. while this contains useful security |
| 41 |
stuff, it also makes implementing security stuff almost impossible, |
| 42 |
as it completely mangles perls internal utf8 encoding with actual |
| 43 |
utf-8 encoding, and confuses "unicode", "string codepoints" and |
| 44 |
"utf-8" so much that it becoems practically unusable. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
2.03 Wed Dec 2 18:38:53 CET 2009 |
| 47 |
- removed "unopened" warning category, as this breaks "stat _", which |
| 48 |
seems to be a bug in all perl versions (see perlbug #71002). |
| 49 |
- some doc updates. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
2.02 Wed Nov 4 12:04:08 CET 2009 |
| 52 |
- no functional changes. |
| 53 |
- add META.yml clarification to the faq, tune the docs a bit |
| 54 |
and add a "much reduced typing" section. |
| 55 |
- unfortunately, the tone of the manpage has tightened and is |
| 56 |
more serious in many parts now. We consider this a bug that we |
| 57 |
plan to fix before 2100. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
2.01 Mon Oct 5 17:01:48 CEST 2009 |
| 60 |
- add a FAQ section. |
| 61 |
- use a more future-proof way to set the warning mask. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
2.0 Tue Sep 1 20:28:25 CEST 2009 |
| 64 |
- codename "fatality", now with big doses of... fatality. |
| 65 |
- enabled an enourmous number of warnings and made them FATAL, |
| 66 |
as warned about in earlier releases. Of course we carefully |
| 67 |
tested the new warnings against our modules, as mentioned |
| 68 |
in the manpage, too. |
| 69 |
