3 3.71 Wed Jul 31 02:34:48 CEST 2013
4 - CPAN failed to parse the version number in 3.7, try to work
5 around.
6
7 3.7 Wed Jul 31 01:26:50 CEST 2013
8 - move pod to separate file, to further improve loading times.
9 - make it arch-specific, adding a test that warns when an old
10 version is still installed.
11 - due to a logic glitch, warnings were not enabled at all on 5.16.
12
13 3.6 Sun Jun 17 14:24:53 CEST 2012
14 - work around more 5.16 breakage - $^H doesn't work as nicely as
15 p5p make you to believe.
16 - add features: unicode_strings current_sub fc evalbytes.
17 - disable features: array_base.
18
19 3.5 Wed Mar 7 20:50:48 CET 2012
20 - localise $^W, as this causes warnings with 5.16 when some lost
21 soul uses -w. common::sense doesn't support $^W, but tries to
22 shield module authors and programs from its ill effects. If you
23 enable $^W, then you normally get to keep the pieces because you
24 change semantics of other people's code.
25
26 3.4 Fri Jan 14 07:17:16 CET 2011
27 - remove "regexp" category. this is rather painful as it's a large
28 class, but unfortunately, somebody thought emitting a warning when you
29 match more than 32kb of text is in some way useful, which spoils the whole
30 category.
31 - use META.json instead of META.yml - apparently YAML parsers don't actually
32 exist.
33
34 3.3 Fri Jul 2 22:40:14 CEST 2010
35 - removed "exiting" category - this is too useful to create new
36 control statements, and fails utterly with eval, as eval will
37 catch the (fatal) warning itself. Kind of hurts, but this is
38 just another warning category which is too broad and has to be
39 disabled fully because of a minority of issues.
40
41 3.2 Fri Apr 16 01:46:02 CEST 2010
42 - removed "substr" warning - while it overall is a good category,
43 "substr '', 2" is entirely sensible.
44
45 3.1 Sat Apr 3 04:56:36 CEST 2010
46 - removed "parenthesis" warning:
47 sysread $fh, my $buf, -s $fh; # ok
48 sysread $fh, my $buf, $size; # warning
49 Made no sense to me, especially as $size is in scope.
50 - no longer hardcode warning/struct bits, calculate them at
51 installation time, for when I will no longer be alive etc.
52 - tweaked documentation.
53
54 3.0 Tue Dec 15 03:24:28 CET 2009
55 - enable "use utf8" effect by default.
56 - removed "utf8" warning category. while this contains useful security
57 stuff, it also makes implementing security stuff almost impossible,
58 as it completely mangles perls internal utf8 encoding with actual
59 utf-8 encoding, and confuses "unicode", "string codepoints" and
60 "utf-8" so much that it becoems practically unusable.
61
62 2.03 Wed Dec 2 18:38:53 CET 2009
63 - removed "unopened" warning category, as this breaks "stat _", which
64 seems to be a bug in all perl versions (see perlbug #71002).
65 - some doc updates.
66
67 2.02 Wed Nov 4 12:04:08 CET 2009
68 - no functional changes.
69 - add META.yml clarification to the faq, tune the docs a bit
70 and add a "much reduced typing" section.
71 - unfortunately, the tone of the manpage has tightened and is
72 more serious in many parts now. We consider this a bug that we
73 plan to fix before 2100.
74
75 2.01 Mon Oct 5 17:01:48 CEST 2009
76 - add a FAQ section.
77 - use a more future-proof way to set the warning mask.
78
79 2.0 Tue Sep 1 20:28:25 CEST 2009
80 - codename "fatality", now with big doses of... fatality.
81 - enabled an enourmous number of warnings and made them FATAL,
82 as warned about in earlier releases. Of course we carefully
83 tested the new warnings against our modules, as mentioned
84 in the manpage, too.
85
86 1.0 Sat Aug 22 22:08:50 CEST 2009
87 - no functional changes.
88 - really, the first version of common sense!
89 - slightly improved documentation.
90 - forgot to include license.
91
92 0.04 Sun Aug 2 10:29:23 CEST 2009
93 - added "what others..." section.
94 - reinforce attempt at world domination.
95
96 0.03 Thu Jul 9 20:16:33 CEST 2009
97 - first public release, written on the Piratenstammtisch
98 (http://wiki.piratenpartei.de/Stammtisch_Karlsruhe).
99
100 0.01 Thu Jul 9 17:48:00 CEST 2009
