3 3.73 Sat May 31 22:37:21 CEST 2014
4 - remove "deprecated", as it turned out to be yet another time bomb
5 as p5p don't care the least about backwards compatibility
6 anymore (https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=119123).
7 - switching paths once more as this turned out to be a doc bug
8 in eumm. this should not affect anything though.
9
10 3.72 Wed Jul 31 19:44:18 CEST 2013
11 - install paths were wrong for current MakeMaker (reported
12 by various people).
13
14 3.71 Wed Jul 31 02:34:48 CEST 2013
15 - CPAN failed to parse the version number in 3.7, try to work
16 around.
17
18 3.7 Wed Jul 31 01:26:50 CEST 2013
19 - move pod to separate file, to further improve loading times.
20 - make it arch-specific, adding a test that warns when an old
21 version is still installed.
22 - due to a logic glitch, warnings were not enabled at all on 5.16.
23
24 3.6 Sun Jun 17 14:24:53 CEST 2012
25 - work around more 5.16 breakage - $^H doesn't work as nicely as
26 p5p make you to believe.
27 - add features: unicode_strings current_sub fc evalbytes.
28 - disable features: array_base.
29
30 3.5 Wed Mar 7 20:50:48 CET 2012
31 - localise $^W, as this causes warnings with 5.16 when some lost
32 soul uses -w. common::sense doesn't support $^W, but tries to
33 shield module authors and programs from its ill effects. If you
34 enable $^W, then you normally get to keep the pieces because you
35 change semantics of other people's code.
36
37 3.4 Fri Jan 14 07:17:16 CET 2011
38 - remove "regexp" category. this is rather painful as it's a large
39 class, but unfortunately, somebody thought emitting a warning when you
40 match more than 32kb of text is in some way useful, which spoils the whole
41 category.
42 - use META.json instead of META.yml - apparently YAML parsers don't actually
43 exist.
44
45 3.3 Fri Jul 2 22:40:14 CEST 2010
46 - removed "exiting" category - this is too useful to create new
47 control statements, and fails utterly with eval, as eval will
48 catch the (fatal) warning itself. Kind of hurts, but this is
49 just another warning category which is too broad and has to be
50 disabled fully because of a minority of issues.
51
52 3.2 Fri Apr 16 01:46:02 CEST 2010
53 - removed "substr" warning - while it overall is a good category,
54 "substr '', 2" is entirely sensible.
55
56 3.1 Sat Apr 3 04:56:36 CEST 2010
57 - removed "parenthesis" warning:
58 sysread $fh, my $buf, -s $fh; # ok
59 sysread $fh, my $buf, $size; # warning
60 Made no sense to me, especially as $size is in scope.
61 - no longer hardcode warning/struct bits, calculate them at
62 installation time, for when I will no longer be alive etc.
63 - tweaked documentation.
64
65 3.0 Tue Dec 15 03:24:28 CET 2009
66 - enable "use utf8" effect by default.
67 - removed "utf8" warning category. while this contains useful security
68 stuff, it also makes implementing security stuff almost impossible,
69 as it completely mangles perls internal utf8 encoding with actual
70 utf-8 encoding, and confuses "unicode", "string codepoints" and
71 "utf-8" so much that it becomes practically unusable.
72
73 2.03 Wed Dec 2 18:38:53 CET 2009
74 - removed "unopened" warning category, as this breaks "stat _", which
75 seems to be a bug in all perl versions (see perlbug #71002).
76 - some doc updates.
77
78 2.02 Wed Nov 4 12:04:08 CET 2009
79 - no functional changes.
80 - add META.yml clarification to the faq, tune the docs a bit
81 and add a "much reduced typing" section.
82 - unfortunately, the tone of the manpage has tightened and is
83 more serious in many parts now. We consider this a bug that we
84 plan to fix before 2100.
85
86 2.01 Mon Oct 5 17:01:48 CEST 2009
87 - add a FAQ section.
88 - use a more future-proof way to set the warning mask.
89
90 2.0 Tue Sep 1 20:28:25 CEST 2009
91 - codename "fatality", now with big doses of... fatality.
92 - enabled an enourmous number of warnings and made them FATAL,
93 as warned about in earlier releases. Of course we carefully
94 tested the new warnings against our modules, as mentioned
95 in the manpage, too.
96
97 1.0 Sat Aug 22 22:08:50 CEST 2009
98 - no functional changes.
99 - really, the first version of common sense!
100 - slightly improved documentation.
101 - forgot to include license.
102
103 0.04 Sun Aug 2 10:29:23 CEST 2009
104 - added "what others..." section.
105 - reinforce attempt at world domination.
106
107 0.03 Thu Jul 9 20:16:33 CEST 2009
108 - first public release, written on the Piratenstammtisch
109 (http://wiki.piratenpartei.de/Stammtisch_Karlsruhe).
110
111 0.01 Thu Jul 9 17:48:00 CEST 2009
