1 Revision history for perl pragma common::sense.
2
3 - make build (more) reproducible.
4
5 3.74 Mon Jun 29 14:39:26 CEST 2015
6 - the generated README file was empty.
7
8 3.73 Sat May 31 22:37:21 CEST 2014
9 - remove "deprecated", as it turned out to be yet another time bomb
10 as p5p don't care the least about backwards compatibility
11 anymore (https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=119123).
12 - switching paths once more as this turned out to be a doc bug
13 in eumm. this should not affect anything though.
14
15 3.72 Wed Jul 31 19:44:18 CEST 2013
16 - install paths were wrong for current MakeMaker (reported
17 by various people).
18
19 3.71 Wed Jul 31 02:34:48 CEST 2013
20 - CPAN failed to parse the version number in 3.7, try to work
21 around.
22
23 3.7 Wed Jul 31 01:26:50 CEST 2013
24 - move pod to separate file, to further improve loading times.
25 - make it arch-specific, adding a test that warns when an old
26 version is still installed.
27 - due to a logic glitch, warnings were not enabled at all on 5.16.
28
29 3.6 Sun Jun 17 14:24:53 CEST 2012
30 - work around more 5.16 breakage - $^H doesn't work as nicely as
31 p5p make you to believe.
32 - add features: unicode_strings current_sub fc evalbytes.
33 - disable features: array_base.
34
35 3.5 Wed Mar 7 20:50:48 CET 2012
36 - localise $^W, as this causes warnings with 5.16 when some lost
37 soul uses -w. common::sense doesn't support $^W, but tries to
38 shield module authors and programs from its ill effects. If you
39 enable $^W, then you normally get to keep the pieces because you
40 change semantics of other people's code.
41
42 3.4 Fri Jan 14 07:17:16 CET 2011
43 - remove "regexp" category. this is rather painful as it's a large
44 class, but unfortunately, somebody thought emitting a warning when you
45 match more than 32kb of text is in some way useful, which spoils the whole
46 category.
47 - use META.json instead of META.yml - apparently YAML parsers don't actually
48 exist.
49
50 3.3 Fri Jul 2 22:40:14 CEST 2010
51 - removed "exiting" category - this is too useful to create new
52 control statements, and fails utterly with eval, as eval will
53 catch the (fatal) warning itself. Kind of hurts, but this is
54 just another warning category which is too broad and has to be
55 disabled fully because of a minority of issues.
56
57 3.2 Fri Apr 16 01:46:02 CEST 2010
58 - removed "substr" warning - while it overall is a good category,
59 "substr '', 2" is entirely sensible.
60
61 3.1 Sat Apr 3 04:56:36 CEST 2010
62 - removed "parenthesis" warning:
63 sysread $fh, my $buf, -s $fh; # ok
64 sysread $fh, my $buf, $size; # warning
65 Made no sense to me, especially as $size is in scope.
66 - no longer hardcode warning/struct bits, calculate them at
67 installation time, for when I will no longer be alive etc.
68 - tweaked documentation.
69
70 3.0 Tue Dec 15 03:24:28 CET 2009
71 - enable "use utf8" effect by default.
72 - removed "utf8" warning category. while this contains useful security
73 stuff, it also makes implementing security stuff almost impossible,
74 as it completely mangles perls internal utf8 encoding with actual
75 utf-8 encoding, and confuses "unicode", "string codepoints" and
76 "utf-8" so much that it becomes practically unusable.
77
78 2.03 Wed Dec 2 18:38:53 CET 2009
79 - removed "unopened" warning category, as this breaks "stat _", which
80 seems to be a bug in all perl versions (see perlbug #71002).
81 - some doc updates.
82
83 2.02 Wed Nov 4 12:04:08 CET 2009
84 - no functional changes.
85 - add META.yml clarification to the faq, tune the docs a bit
86 and add a "much reduced typing" section.
87 - unfortunately, the tone of the manpage has tightened and is
88 more serious in many parts now. We consider this a bug that we
89 plan to fix before 2100.
90
91 2.01 Mon Oct 5 17:01:48 CEST 2009
92 - add a FAQ section.
93 - use a more future-proof way to set the warning mask.
94
95 2.0 Tue Sep 1 20:28:25 CEST 2009
96 - codename "fatality", now with big doses of... fatality.
97 - enabled an enourmous number of warnings and made them FATAL,
98 as warned about in earlier releases. Of course we carefully
99 tested the new warnings against our modules, as mentioned
100 in the manpage, too.
101
102 1.0 Sat Aug 22 22:08:50 CEST 2009
103 - no functional changes.
104 - really, the first version of common sense!
105 - slightly improved documentation.
106 - forgot to include license.
107
108 0.04 Sun Aug 2 10:29:23 CEST 2009
109 - added "what others..." section.
110 - reinforce attempt at world domination.
111
112 0.03 Thu Jul 9 20:16:33 CEST 2009
113 - first public release, written on the Piratenstammtisch
114 (http://wiki.piratenpartei.de/Stammtisch_Karlsruhe).
115
116 0.01 Thu Jul 9 17:48:00 CEST 2009
117 - original version; cloned from Convert::Scalar.
