3 TODO: make it arch-specific?
4 3.6
5 - work around more 5.16 breakage - $^H doesn't work as nicely as
6 p5p make you to believe.
7 - add features: unicode_strings current_sub fc evalbytes.
8 - disable features: array_base.

10 3.5 Wed Mar 7 20:50:48 CET 2012
11 - localise $^W, as this causes warnings with 5.16 when some lost
12 soul uses -w. common::sense doesn't support $^W, but tries to
13 shield module authors and programs from its ill effects. If you
14 enable $^W, then you normally get to keep the pieces because you
15 change semantics of other people's code.

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