version 0.014; 2014-02-06
* bugfix: suppress any CORE::GLOBAL::require override, where possible,
to avoid use_package_optimistically() being misled into treating
missing modules as broken
* bugfix: in use_module() and use_package_optimistically(), pass a
supplied VERSION parameter through for the version check even if it
is undef
* tighten use_package_optimistically()'s recognition of can't-locate
errors (the same way that base.pm has recently been tightened),
so that, when a module fails to load because a module that it uses
isn't available, the outer module will be perceived as broken rather
than missing
* update documentation notes about the state of Unicode handling for
module names
* in META.{yml,json}, point to public git repository
version 0.013; 2012-02-16
* fix false failure of the test for lack of unintended dependencies
that occurred on systems using a sitecustomize.pl
version 0.012; 2012-02-12
* work around Perl core bug [perl #68590] regarding leakage of %^H
into modules being loaded
* work around Perl core bug that made a failed module loading appear
successful when re-requiring the same module
* duplicate is_string() from Params::Classify, rather than importing it,
to avoid circular dependency problems (affecting both installation
and runtime)
* duplicate minimal exporting behaviour from Exporter, and avoid using
the "feature", "warnings", "strict", and "parent" pragmata, to allow
for possible future use of this module by any infrastructure module
* document core bug workarounds
* document module name syntax more prominently, and discuss the state
of Unicode handling
* tweak documentation of use_package_optimistically()
* test behaviour with tainted module name
* test lack of unwanted eval frame around require
* give test modules more meaningful names
* convert .cvsignore to .gitignore
version 0.011; 2011-10-24
* bugfix: in require_module() and use_module(), work around a Perl
core bug affecting Perl 5.8 and 5.10 that could pass the wrong
context to the file scope of a required file, which breaks some
modules; this bug would only rarely afflict the core's require()
in situations where it would afflict require_module()
version 0.010; 2011-10-07
* bugfix: in use_package_optimistically(), fix regexp interpolation
that broke operation if the module was loaded from a path containing
metacharacters
version 0.009; 2011-10-04
* new function module_notional_filename()
* simplify behaviour of use_package_optimistically() to match simplified
base.pm 2.18
version 0.008; 2011-05-16
* change usage of Params::Classify functions to take advantage of
custom ops in Params::Classify 0.012
* use full stricture in test suite
* in Build.PL, complete declaration of configure-time requirements
* explicitly state version required of Params::Classify
* include META.json in distribution
* add MYMETA.json and MYMETA.yml to .cvsignore
version 0.007; 2010-03-19
* add "check_" functions for argument checking
* supply regexps to check module name and spec syntax
* in "is_" functions, also cleanly handle non-string arguments
* in require_module() (also affecting use_module()), call require()
as a function (with appropriate name translation) instead of using
string eval, to avoid unnecessary complication of exception handling
* provide the "is_valid_" functions under shorter "is_" names
* revise POD markup
* check for required Perl version at runtime
* in tests, supply test modules to avoid requiring unrelated math
modules
* in Build.PL, explicitly declare configure-time requirements
* remove bogus "exit 0" from Build.PL
version 0.006; 2009-05-19
* bugfix: avoid unreliable "\w" in regexps in code
* document that module name syntax is restricted to ASCII
* use simpler "parent" pragma in place of "base"
* in documentation, use the term "truth value" instead of the less
precise "boolean"
* use full stricture in Build.PL
version 0.005; 2007-09-17
* bugfix: override any ambient $SIG{__DIE__} handler when using eval { }
* use "base" pragma to import Exporter behaviour
* test POD syntax and coverage, and rename an internal function to
satisfy the coverage test
* build with Module::Build instead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker
* complete dependency list
* include signature in distribution
* in documentation, separate "license" section from "copyright" section
version 0.004; 2007-08-12
* change choice of module to test use_package_optimistically(), because
some old versions of Math::BigInt don't have a version number which
was causing a false test failure
version 0.003; 2007-01-27
* loosen tests to work with perl v5.9's changed diagnostics
version 0.002; 2006-06-15
* new function use_package_optimistically() to duplicate the "base"
pragma's quiet module loading
* insert missing bracket in documentation for use_module()
version 0.001; 2004-10-29
* new function use_module()
* document return value of require_module()
* more stringent tests for the return value of require_module()
* explicitly declare lack of module dependencies in Makefile.PL
* include Changes file
version 0.000; 2004-02-15
* initial released version
