1 root 1.2 Revision history for perl pragma common::sense.
2    
3 root 1.21 3.7 Wed Jul 31 01:26:50 CEST 2013
4     - move pod to separate file, to further improve loading times.
5     - make it arch-specific, adding a test that warns when an old
6     version is still installed.
7     - due to a logic glitch, warnings were not enabled at all on 5.16.
8 root 1.20
9     3.6 Sun Jun 17 14:24:53 CEST 2012
10 root 1.19 - work around more 5.16 breakage - $^H doesn't work as nicely as
11     p5p make you to believe.
12     - add features: unicode_strings current_sub fc evalbytes.
13     - disable features: array_base.
14    
15 root 1.18 3.5 Wed Mar 7 20:50:48 CET 2012
16     - localise $^W, as this causes warnings with 5.16 when some lost
17     soul uses -w. common::sense doesn't support $^W, but tries to
18     shield module authors and programs from its ill effects. If you
19     enable $^W, then you normally get to keep the pieces because you
20     change semantics of other people's code.
21    
22 root 1.17 3.4 Fri Jan 14 07:17:16 CET 2011
23     - remove "regexp" category. this is rather painful as it's a large
24     class, but unfortunately, somebody thought emitting a warning when you
25     match more than 32kb of text is in some way useful, which spoils the whole
26     category.
27     - use META.json instead of META.yml - apparently YAML parsers don't actually
28     exist.
29    
30 root 1.16 3.3 Fri Jul 2 22:40:14 CEST 2010
31     - removed "exiting" category - this is too useful to create new
32     control statements, and fails utterly with eval, as eval will
33     catch the (fatal) warning itself. Kind of hurts, but this is
34     just another warning category which is too broad and has to be
35     disabled fully because of a minority of issues.
36    
37 root 1.15 3.2 Fri Apr 16 01:46:02 CEST 2010
38     - removed "substr" warning - while it overall is a good category,
39     "substr '', 2" is entirely sensible.
40    
41 root 1.14 3.1 Sat Apr 3 04:56:36 CEST 2010
42     - removed "parenthesis" warning:
43     sysread $fh, my $buf, -s $fh; # ok
44     sysread $fh, my $buf, $size; # warning
45     Made no sense to me, especially as $size is in scope.
46 root 1.13 - no longer hardcode warning/struct bits, calculate them at
47     installation time, for when I will no longer be alive etc.
48 root 1.12 - tweaked documentation.
49    
50 root 1.11 3.0 Tue Dec 15 03:24:28 CET 2009
51     - enable "use utf8" effect by default.
52     - removed "utf8" warning category. while this contains useful security
53     stuff, it also makes implementing security stuff almost impossible,
54     as it completely mangles perls internal utf8 encoding with actual
55     utf-8 encoding, and confuses "unicode", "string codepoints" and
56     "utf-8" so much that it becoems practically unusable.
57    
58 root 1.10 2.03 Wed Dec 2 18:38:53 CET 2009
59     - removed "unopened" warning category, as this breaks "stat _", which
60     seems to be a bug in all perl versions (see perlbug #71002).
61     - some doc updates.
62    
63 root 1.9 2.02 Wed Nov 4 12:04:08 CET 2009
64     - no functional changes.
65     - add META.yml clarification to the faq, tune the docs a bit
66     and add a "much reduced typing" section.
67     - unfortunately, the tone of the manpage has tightened and is
68     more serious in many parts now. We consider this a bug that we
69     plan to fix before 2100.
70    
71 root 1.8 2.01 Mon Oct 5 17:01:48 CEST 2009
72     - add a FAQ section.
73     - use a more future-proof way to set the warning mask.
74    
75 root 1.7 2.0 Tue Sep 1 20:28:25 CEST 2009
76     - codename "fatality", now with big doses of... fatality.
77 root 1.6 - enabled an enourmous number of warnings and made them FATAL,
78     as warned about in earlier releases. Of course we carefully
79     tested the new warnings against our modules, as mentioned
80     in the manpage, too.
81 root 1.5
82 root 1.4 1.0 Sat Aug 22 22:08:50 CEST 2009
83     - no functional changes.
84     - really, the first version of common sense!
85     - slightly improved documentation.
86     - forgot to include license.
87    
88 root 1.3 0.04 Sun Aug 2 10:29:23 CEST 2009
89     - added "what others..." section.
90     - reinforce attempt at world domination.
91    
92 root 1.2 0.03 Thu Jul 9 20:16:33 CEST 2009
93     - first public release, written on the Piratenstammtisch
94     (http://wiki.piratenpartei.de/Stammtisch_Karlsruhe).
95 root 1.1
96     0.01 Thu Jul 9 17:48:00 CEST 2009
97     - original version; cloned from Convert::Scalar.
