0.9916 - 2016-03-18
* Incorporate changes from bleadperl (destined to be 5.24.0)
0.9915 - 2016-03-05
* Clarify details of Lyon Compromise:
https://gist.github.com/dagolden/9559280
- version comparision should be done irrespective of the presence of
underscores in the string used to initialize the version object
- underscore should no longer be used as a tuple separator in vstrings or
vstring-like strings; vstrings are converted to tuples by splitting into
*characters* (not bytes) and converting to codepoints; any elements after
the first must be in the range 0-999
- numify/normal should produce a standarized string representation without
underscores
- stringify should produce the best possible representation of the value
used to initialize the version object; it should include underscores
only if the initializing value was a non-vstring string.
- floating point numbers used as initializers are converted to a decimal
string form at the precision limit of the architecture; people will be
warned about this in the documentation

https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101632

https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=101600
0.9911 - 2015-01-17
* Backout change to normal() and numify() because it breaks Module::Build
0.9910 - 2015-01-17
* Ensure that calling either normal() or numify() on an alpha version
is explicitly a lossy operation, and add a warning to that effect. Forbid
trailing bare decimal for dotted-decimal versions. Change heuristic in vpp
to better resolve v-string versions. Various cleanups.

https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101501
0.9909 - 2014-08-15
* Compatibility release for Perl 5.20.1. Apply two patches from bleadperl
(one which shipped with 5.20.0 and one from bleadperl) so that a clean
release can be applied prior to 5.20.1 being shipped. Holding back a
few other improvements, so expect 0.9910 shortly.
0.9908 - 2014-02-02
* More optimizations courtesy of Daniel Dragan (bulk88@hotmail.com).
Also resolves:

0.9907 - 2014-01-12
* Lots of optimizations of XS and C code courtesy of Daniel Dragan
(bulk88@hotmail.com). Lots of minor tweaks as well.
Resolves:

https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=92051
0.9906 - 2014-01-04
* Applied C89 compatibility fix from Karl Williamson to vxs.inc. Added back
support for $version::LAX and $version::STRICT to resolve:

https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=91868
0.9905 - 2014-01-04
* Major rewrite of XS code to permit easier inclusion in core Perl (mostly
written by Father Chrysostomos <sprout@cpan.org>). XS code is no longer
supported for any Perl < v5.10, although the pure Perl code still works
going back to 5.005_04.
In addition, the version::vpp class is now completely independent and can
be use'd exactly like the base version class. It is still better to use
the base class for compatibility purposes.
0.9904 - 2013-08-20
* Final upstream changes from bleadperl. Resolves RT tickets:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=87513
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=87983
0.9903 - 2013-08-18
* Upstream test changes from bleadperl.
Include version::vpp even when installing XS version.
Subtle locale test changes.
0.9902 - 2013-03-05
* Upstream test changess from bleadperl.
Support env PERL_ONLY=1 as well as --perl-only.
version::new with no arguments reads past the end of the stack.
0.9901 - 2012-04-26
* Fix problem with short floating point alpha versions (e.g. 0.52_0).
0.99 - 2012-04-26
* Apply missing patch from core Perl to prevent overflow with ludicrous
versions.
0.98 - 2012-04-25
* Apply patch from core Perl to prevent overflow with ludicrous versions.
0.97 - 2012-02-28
* Minor tweak to locale test to skip if no locales are installed at all.
0.96 - 2012-02-06
* Merge in upstream changes from bleadperl. Improved locale tests.
0.95 - 2011-11-12
* Restore compatibility in replacement UNIVERSAL::VERSION with the behavior
of Perl 5.14.x, essentially by reverting the changes in
https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=95544
* Fix segfault error with strings that begin with 'v', especially the string
'version'. Resolves:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=72365
* Forbid all math operations on version objects in base class (this was
already the case for XS code but the pure Perl was lacking). Resolves:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=70950
0.94 - 2011-08-21
* Clarify documentation on advisability of using leading 'v' (it isn't
mandatory, but it is much more likely to DTRT). Resolves:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=70120
* Use a localized DIE handler when attempting to load the XS code, in case
the caller has its own DIE handler. Resolves:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=70260
0.93 - 2011-07-27
* Fix problem with UNIVERSAL::VERSION noted by Father Chrysostomos.
0.92 - 2011-07-26
* Forbid negative versions. Make replacement UNIVERSAL::VERSION return the
original $VERSION scalar if called without a requested version. Resolves
https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=95544
Rewrite code so that we just override all subs for Perl >= 5.9.0 (when
version.pm was added to the core).
0.91 - 2011-06-05
* Fix compilation/linking on Strawberry Perl, resolves
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68611
0.90 - 2011-06-01
* Make all tests pass even with older Test::More releases. Resolves
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=68588
0.89 - 2011-05-31
* Change behavior of pure Perl qv/declare to match the core/XS behavior;
do not use parent's new() class for derived classes. This breaks
encapsulation but I can justify it because qv/declare is a very
specific thing that shouldn't be casually overridden (unless you do it
directly in the subclass).
0.88 - 2010-12-19
* Fix Makefile.PL to make Strawberry Perl happy. Resolves:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=63991
0.87 - 2010-12-09
* Remove Build.PL since there are modules in the Module::Build tool chain
that require version.pm, leading to circular dependencies. This also allows
Module::Build itself to depend on version.pm.
0.86 - 2010-11-26
* is_strict/is_lax were not exported correctly (which no one noticed). Also
pull in strict/lax tests from core.
0.85 - 2010-10-25
* Don't include MYMETA.yml file in distro
0.84 - 2010-10-24
* Restore public API vcmp() broken in 0.83
0.83 - 2010-10-17
* Changed vverify API (David Golden). Improved heuristic for non-magical
v-strings (Perl 5.6.0-5.8.0). Install in proper patch post-@INC
reordering.
0.82 - 2010-04-13
* Still more changes to sync with Perl 5.12.0-as-released. Rewritten POD
thanks to many hands, but mostly David Golden. Vastly improved Regex
definitions from Zephram.
0.81 - 2010-02-01
* Merge in changes from bleadperl that will be part of Perl 5.12.0.
Completely rewrite pure Perl code to operate exactly like the XS code,
through the creation of a character-array class called charstar. Now
the pure Perl code and XS code can be more easily be synchronized.
0.80 - 2010-01-21
* No outwardly visible changes. This release is to fix an assertion error
with certain picky/older compilers. NOTE: this is not the version object
code that will be part of Perl 5.12.0, which will be released shortly as
0.81.
0.79 - 2010-01-03
* No outwardly visible changes. This release is to match the code that
will part of Perl 5.12.0, but which doesn't affect the external API of
the CPAN release.
0.78 - 2009-10-12
* More changes to improve the non-magic v-string heuristics, this time
affecting both the pure Perl and XS backends. NOTE: these fixes only
matter if you are running Perl 5.6.x to 5.8.0 (inclusive). Beginning
with Perl 5.8.1, v-strings are now magical and version.pm no longer has
to guess. Resolves:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=50347
* Also resolve the issue where attempting to install CPAN releases on top
of core releases (e.g. 5.10.0 and 5.10.1) would not DTRT. Resolves:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49667
0.7702 - 2009-09-07
* Add additional contraints to the code which tries to guess whether
something is a v-string or not for Perl 5.6.0 through 5.8.0 (inclusive).
Resolves:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49348
0.7701 - 2009-07-28
* Special RHEL4.x/Fedora4.x Are Too Stupid to Live Release. Those distros
have never updated beyond Perl 5.8.5/5.8.6 respectively. Consequently,
they contain a complete broken Test::More::use_ok which doesn't load the
package into the correct namespace:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=48268
thus causing mysterious test failures. No version.pm code was changed at
all. :(
0.77 - 2009-07-26
* Complete POD rewrite to document common usage in version.pod and put all
of the implementation details into version::Internals.
* Resolve a number of RT tickets:
RT#48135 - Compilation failure using MS VC++ 7.0.
RT#47980 - Remove need for runtime class loading in pure Perl code
RT#46921 - locale and eval action at a distance.
RT#45241 - mistaken regex to convert large exponential numbers
to non-exponential form before scanning.
