Revision history for autodie

2.29      2015-07-09 17:16:38+10:00 Australia/Melbourne
        * BUGFIX: Apply patch from Karen Etheridge to install
          autodie and Fatal into 'perl' rather than 'site'
          for older perls (RT#85801, GH#68)

2.28      2015-06-22 16:20:35+10:00 Australia/Melbourne

* TEST BUG: Properly skip the Import::Into test if the
          version of Import::Into is insufficent.  Thanks to
          Olivier Mengué.  (GH#67)

* DOC: Document change in 2.27 that was omitted from the
          Changes-file by mistake.

2.27      2015-06-10 19:19:49+10:00 Australia/Melbourne

* DEPRECATION: Deprecate the use of "Fatal qw(:lexcial)".  It
          is an implementation detail of autodie and is about to
          change.

* BUG: Use "octal" numbers in error messages for CORE
          subroutines taking a "mode" parameter (e.g. mkdir and chmod).
          Thanks to "Bugdebugger". (GH#65 and GH#66)

* SPEED: Allow wrappers for CORE::exec and CORE::system to be
          reused as they are not dependent on the calling package.

* TEST: Avoid hard-coded directory separator in t/system.t.
          Thanks to A. Sinan Unur for reporting it and providing a
          patch.  (GH#62)

* TEST: Add missing "require autodie" in import-into test and
          ensure Import::Into remains an optional test dependency.

* TEST / INTERNAL / TRAVIS: Set "sudo: false" to gain access
          to the Travis container based infrastructure.

* TEST: Bump version of Import::Into to 1.002004 as older
          versions are insufficient for our test.  Thanks to
          Olivier Mengué for reporting it.  (RT#101377)

2.26      2014-12-26 16:27:23+00:00 UTC

* BUGFIX / INCOMPAT: Remove "fileno" and "umask" from the list of
                             CORE subs protected by autodie and Fatal.
                             When they return undef, it is not a failure.

* BUGFIX: Fixed an error that could occur during global destruction of
          the form "(in cleanup) Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY
          reference at .../autodie/Scope/GuardStack.pm line 48 during global
          destruction" (Thanks to Dave Rolsky).

* BUGFIX: The open-pragma is now properly ignored when open is
                  given an explicit layer.  This brings autodie protected
                  open in sync with open.  Thanks to Gregory Oschwald and
                  Graham Knop for the report + test case and the patch.
                  (GH#52 + GH#53)

* BUGFIX: Hide the "SCALAR" (buffer) argument in the string
                  representation of autodie::exception for the read,
                  sysread and syswrite CORE subs.  This is to avoid
                  a dump of binary data to the screen/log when a
                  (sys)read or syswrite fails.

* FEATURE: Let autodie::exception work in equality tests and
                   string comparison via "overload fallback".
                   (Thanks to Michael G. Schwern)

* DOC: Mention that "kill" is in the ":ipc" category.  It has
               been there since autodie v2.14.
               (Thanks to Felipe Gasper for reporting it, RT#97320).

* INTERNAL: Use "parent" instead of "base" for inheritance.  Also
                    avoid some @ISA relationships that were redundant.
                    Either truly redundant ones or by importing "import"
                    from Exporter v5.57.
                    -  This change implies that perl 5.8 users must now
                       also fetch "parent" from cpan.
                    (Thanks to Olivier Mengué, GH#59)

* DEVEL / TEST: The autodie module now accepts an undefined Fatal
                        version, assuming it to be development version.
                        Test cases that require versions are now either
                        skipped or considered "release" test.

* TEST / INTERNAL: Enabled travis-ci for Perl 5.20

* TEST: Close temp file before re-opening in t/truncate.t.
                (Thanks to Craig A. Berry, RT#96609)

* TEST: Pass O_TRUNC with O_CREAT to sysopen in t/utf8_open.t.
                (Thanks to Craig A. Berry, RT#87237)

* TEST: Clean up temp file in t/truncate.t.
                (Thanks to Dave Mitchell, RT#100688)

2.25      2014-04-03 09:43:15EST+1100 Australia/Melbourne

* DOCS: Spelling fixes in autodie::ScopeUtil
                (Courtesy Salvatore Bonaccorso)

2.24      2014-03-30 19:30:10EST+1100 Australia/Melbourne

* FEATURE: Provide a stack backtrace when `Carp::Always` is enabled.
                   Note that sometimes this is not as pretty as it could
                   be, patches welcome.
                   (Thanks to Niels Thykier, GH #35)

* BUGFIX: Fix situations where `no autodie` doesn't respect lexical
                  scope. (Thanks to Niels Thykier, GH #41, RT #72053,
                  RT #86396)

* INTERNAL: Remove now unused variables in code (Niels Thykier).

* DOCS: Make it extra-clear autodie doesn't check `print`.
                (Dave Rolsky, GH #39)

* TEST: Removed obsolete boilerplate.t

* TEST / INTERNAL: Enabled travis-ci for Perl 5.8

* TEST: Stopped some Pod::Coverage tests failing under Perl 5.8

* BUILD: Better support for building in a read-only directory
                 (courtesy Andrew Fresh, GH #46)

2.23      2014-01-27 13:50:55EST+1100 Australia/Melbourne

* TEST / BUGFIX: Improved testing support on Android
          and Blackberry devices. (GH #44, thanks to
          Hugmeir.)

* TEST / INTERNAL / TRAVIS: Various non-code
          tweaks to make travis-ci more happy with testing
          autodie.

* BUGFIX: autodie no longer weakens strict by allowing
          undeclared variables with the same name as built-ins.
          (RT #74246, thanks to Neils Thykier and Father
          Chrysostomos.)

* BUGFIX: `use autodie qw( foo ! foo);` now correctly
          insists that we have hints for foo. (Thanks Niels Thykier)

* INTERNAL: Improved benchmarking code, thanks to
          Niels Thykier.

2.22      2013-09-21 11:37:14 Asia/Tokyo

* TEST / INTERNAL: Restore timestamps on touched testing
          files to avoid git flagging files having changed in
          git. (RT #88444, courtesy shay@cpan)

2.21      2013-09-12 13:17:23 Australia/Melbourne

Many more improvements from Niels Thykier, great hero of the
        free people. Plus a compatibility patch from Zefram, keeper
        of Carp.

* SPEED / INTERNAL : Through the magic of globally reuseable
          core leak trampolines, autodie is even faster when used across
          multiple pacakages.

* SPEED / INTERNAL : Caches used for keeping track of
          fatalised subroutines are faster and leaner.

* SPEED / INTERNAL : Core subroutine wrappers are now lazily
          compiled.

* SPEED / INTERNAL : Using autodie while autodie is already in
          effect is now faster and more efficient.

* INTERNAL : $" and $! are no longer arbitrarily messed with
          for no reason via autodie.  (They're still messed with when
          using Fatal.)

* SPEED / INTERNAL : The ':all' tag hierachy is expanded
          immediately, in an efficient fashion.

* INTERNAL : Numerous minor clean-ups. Dead variables removed.
          Typos fixed.

* SPEED / INTERNAL : import() and _make_fatal() cache more
          aggressively, reducing CPU overhead.

* TEST: Compatibility with Carp 1.32 (thanks to Zefram).
          RT #88076.

2.20      2013-06-23 16:08:41 PST8PDT

Many improvements from Niels Thykier, hero of the
        free people.  From GH #25:

* SPEED / INTERNAL: Less time is spent computing prototypes

* SPEED / INTERNAL: Leak guards are more efficient.

* SPEED : Expanding tags (eg: qw(:all)) is now faster.
          This also improves the speed of checking autodying
          code with Perl::Critic.

* INTERNAL: Expanding of tags is faster and preserves order.

2.19      2013-05-13 10:02:15 Australia/Melbourne

* BUGFIX: Loading a file that does not change packages while
          autodie in effect no longer causes weird behaviour when
          slurpy built-ins (like open() and unlink()) are called. GH #22
          Thanks to Niels Thykier.

* TEST: Tests for leak guard failures for slurpy core functions.

2.18      2013-05-12 18:12:14 Australia/Melbourne

* TEST: More testing in scope_leak.t.

* TEST: More testing around packages in truncate.t.

* SPEED / INTERNAL: Significant improvements in load time,
          especially when autodie is used across multiple files,
          by caching reuseable subroutines and reducing calls to eval "".
          Huge thanks to Niels Thykier, who is a hero of the
          free people, and completely and utterly awesome.
          (RT #46984)

* DOCUMENTATION: Spelling and correction fixes,
          courtesy David Steinbrunner.

* DEVEL: Faster and more robust testing with travis-ci.

* DEVEL: Some simple benchmarks bundled in the benchmarks/ directory.

2.17      2013-04-29 01:03:50 Australia/Melbourne

* DOCS: Spelling fixes thanks to dsteinbrunner! (RT #84897)

* DOCS: Fixed github links to point to 'pjf' rather than
          'pfenwick' (GH #18, thanks to Lx!)

* INTERNAL: Silence warnings about experimental smart-match on
          5.17.11+ (via Brian Fraser and p5p)

* TEST / BUILD: Generate .travis.yml files for CI testing via
          dzil.

2.16      2013-02-23 01:49:16 Australia/Melbourne

* BUGFIX: Fix breakages under 5.8.x related to the new
          autodie::skip feature.

* BUILD / BUGFIX: Remove dependency on parent.pm.

2.15      2013-02-22 23:55:22 Australia/Melbourne

* BUILD / BUGFIX: Correct meta-info that wanted at least Perl
          v5.8.40, rather than v5.8.4.  Giant thanks to Paul Howarth
          for spotting this!

2.14      2013-02-22 15:43:33 Australia/Melbourne

* FEATURE: Classes which claim they ->DOES('autodie::skip') are now
          skipped when generating exceptions.  This is mainly of use to
          utility classes. See `perldoc autodie::skip` for more details.
          (GH Issue #15)

* FEATURE / BUGFIX / INCOMPAT: 'chmod' is now in the ':filesys'
          category (was in ':file').

* BUGFIX: Added support for 'chown' and 'utime', that was
          previously overlooked. Mad props to RsrchBoy for spotting this.
          These are all in the ':filesys' category.
          (GH Pull #13)

* BUGFIX: Added support for 'kill'. This is part of the
          ':ipc' category.

* BUGFIX: Fixed bug whereby chmod, chown, kill, unlink and
          utime would not throw an exception when they didn't
          change all their files or signal all their processes.

* TEST: truncate.t is now skipped on systems that don't have a
          working File::Temp.

* TEST: open.t has a few more tests for exotic modes.

* TEST: chown() tests are skipped on Win32, as chown on Windows
          is a no-op. (Thanks to Mithaldu for spotting this!)

* TEST: Author tests now look for the AUTHOR_TESTING env
          variable (for dzil compliance).

* TEST: Better testing for chown, chmod, and unlink.

* TEST: Better testing for utime.

* TEST: kwalitee.t is now only run when $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING} is set.

* BUGFIX: Removed executable bits from some bundled text files.

* BUILD: We now use dzil to manage autodie.

* BUILD: Only Perl 5.8.4 and above is supported by autodie.
          Please upgrade your Perl distro if you're using 5.8.3 or
          below.

2.13  Thu Nov  8 14:22:03 EST 2012
        * TEST: Deterministic tests in hints_pod_examples.t .
          (RT #80412, thanks to demerphq)

* INTERNAL: subroutine installs are now done in a
          deterministic order. (RT #80414, thanks to demerphq)

2.12  Tue Jun 26 14:55:04 PDT 2012
        * BUGFIX: autodie now plays nicely with the 'open' pragma
        (RT #54777, thanks to Schwern).

* BUILD: Updated to Module::Install 1.06

* BUILD: Makefile.PL is less redundant.

* TEST: t/pod-coverage.t no longer thinks LEXICAL_TAG is
          a user-visible subroutine.

2.11  Sat Mar 24 01:50:56 AUSEST 2012
        * DOCS: Explicitly documented that autodie is context
          unaware.  (Thanks to chromatic.)

* TEST: Multi-arg open tests are skipped on VMS.
          (Thanks to Craig A. Berry.)

* TEST BUGFIX recv.t shouldn't assume STDIN is a file handle.
          (Thanks to Todd Rinaldo)

* TEST: Fixed compatibility with Carp 1.25.
          (Thanks to Olivier Mengué.)

* INTERNAL: Exception classes are loaded more safely.
          (Thanks to Schwern)

2.10  Sat Feb 27 14:01:18 AUSEST 2010
        * BUGFIX: Fatal and autodie no longer leak Carp functions
          into the caller's namespace.  Thanks to Schwern.

* TEST: Multi-arg open tests are really really skipped
          under Windows now.

* DOCUMENTATION: Many more people are properly attributed
          in the 'AUTHORS' file.

2.09  Tue Feb 23 00:33:09 AUSEST 2010
        * DOCS: Fixed documentation typo.  RT #48575
          Thanks to David Taylor.

* TEST: Tests involved multi-arg open are skipped
          on Windows (where multi-arg pipe is not implemented).

2.08  Mon Feb  8 14:24:26 AUSEST 2010
        * BUGFIX: Addeds support for chmod.  Many thanks to
          Jonathan Yu for reporting this (RT #50423).

* BUGFIX: Multi-arg open is now supported by open.
          Many thanks to Nick Cleaton for finding and fix this
          bug.  (RT #52427)

* BUILD: Updated to Module::Install 0.93

2.07  Fri Jul 31 16:35:40 BST 2009

* FEATURE: Added ->eval_error to autodie::exception, which
          stores the contents of $@ at the time autodie throws its
          own exception.  This is useful when dealing with modules
          such as Text::Balanced which set (but do not throw)
          $@ on error.

* TEST: Checking for flock() support no longer causes
          test failures on older VMS sysstems. (RT #47812)
          Thanks to Craig A. Berry for supplying a patch.

* TEST: hints.t tests should no longer cause bogus
          failures relating to File::Copy on VMS and Windows
          systems prior to Perl 5.10.2.

2.06  Tue Jul  7 00:01:37 AUSEST 2009

* BUG: Explicitly documented that autodie does NOT play
          nicely with string evals, especially under Perl 5.10.x.
          Please avoid using string evals while autodie is in scope.

* TEST: Check for autodie leaking out of scope in the
          presence of string evals.  (string-eval-leak.t)
          Thanks to Florian Ragwitz and Vincent Pit for identifying
          this.

* BUGFIX: autodie once again correctly works when used
          inside a string eval.  (This was accidently broken
          somewhere around 1.997-1.998).

2.05  Sat Jul  4 16:33:01 AUSEST 2009

* BUGFIX: format_default() in autodie::exception no longer
          returns a string with file and line attached.  This would
          cause the file and line information to appear twice when
          format handlers would choose to fall back to the defaults.
          The file and line information is now always added by
          stringify().  (RT #47520, thanks to Michael Schwern)

* BUGFIX: Exceptions thrown by 2-argument open() are more likely
          to specify the mode as 'for reading' when no explicit
          mode was given.  (RT #47520, thanks to Michael Schwern)

2.04  Thu Jul  2 18:56:57 AUSEST 2009

* TEST: Removed spurious warning about insufficient credit.

* TEST: hints.t produces less debugging output when testing
          the Perl core.  (Thanks to Jerry D. Hedden)

* TEST: hints.t no longer spuriously fails when checking
          the return values from File::Copy under Windows before
          Perl 5.10.1.  (Thanks to Curtis Jewell)

2.03  Wed Jul  1 15:39:16 AUSEST 2009

* BUGFIX: Stopped blog_hints.t from booching under Perl
          5.8.x. because parent.pm is not installed.

2.02  Wed Jul  1 15:06:21 AUSEST 2009

* FEATURE: autodie::exception now supports ->context() to
          discover the context of the failing subroutine, and
          ->return() to get a list of what it returned.

* BUGFIX: ->function from autodie::exception now returns
          the original name of the dying sub, rather than its imported
          name.  For example, 'File::Copy::copy' rather than 'main::copy'.
          Core functions continue to always return 'CORE::whatever'.

* TEST: blog_hints.t tests new hinting features against
          examples in my blog at http://pjf.id.au/blog/

2.01  Wed Jul  1 01:31:24 AUSEST 2009

* DOCUMENTATION: General copyediting and tidy-up
          (Thanks to Toby Corkindale)

* BUGFIX: Warnings are no longer emitted when undefined values
          are compared by hinting routines.

* BUGFIX: Hints for File::Copy now operate correctly under
          Perl 5.10.1.

* BUGFIX: Inheritance is now considered sufficient to declare
          allegiance to the hints provider role under Perl 5.8.x.
          (Thanks to Glenn Fowler)

* TEST: hints.t no longer throws failures under Perl 5.10.1.

* TEST: pod-coverage.t (author test) no longer fails if
          Sub::Identify is not installed.
          (Thanks to Jonathan Yu. RT #47437)

2.00  Mon Jun 29 01:24:49 AUSEST 2009

* FEATURE: autodie can now accept hints regarding how
          user and module subroutines should be handled.  See
          autodie::hints for more information.

* INTERFACE: The calls to the internal subroutines
          one_invocation() and write_invocation() have changed.
          An additional argument (the user subroutine reference) is
          passed as the second-last argument.  This may break code
          that previously tried to call these subroutines directly.

* BUGFIX: Calls to subroutines to File::Copy should now
          correctly throw exceptions when called in a list context.

* BUGFIX: An internal error where autodie could potentially
          fail to correctly report a dying function's name has been
          fixed.

* BUGFIX: autodie will no longer clobber package scalars when
          a format has the same name as an autodying function.
          (Thanks to Ben Morrow)

* INTERFACE: The internal interfaces for fill_protos(),
          one_invocation(), write_invocation() are now once again
          backward compatible with legacy versions of Fatal.  It is
          still strongly recommended these interfaces are NOT called
          directly.  The _make_fatal() subroutine is not backwards
          compatible.

* TEST: Added internal-backcompat.t to test backwards
          compatibility of internal interfaces.

* DOCUMENTATION: Expanded documentation regarding how
          autodie changes calls to system(), and how this must be
          explicitly enabled.

* BUILD: Upgraded to Module::Install 0.91

* BUGFIX: A situation where certain compile-time diagnostics
          and errors from autodie would not be displayed has been
          fixed.

1.999 Sat Feb 28 18:36:55 AUSEDT 2009

* BUGFIX: Autodie now correctly propagates into string evals
          under 5.10+.  Autodie completely fails to propagate into
          string evals under 5.8.  No fix for 5.8 is known.

* BUGFIX: The caller() method on autodie::exception objects
          should now always report the correct caller.  While it
          would always get the line, file, and package correct, previously
          it would sometimes report less-than-helpful callers like
          '__ANON__' or '(eval)'.

* BUGFIX: autodie was treating system() as a user-sub, not
          a built-in.  This could tigger extra (unnecessary) work
          inside autodie, but otherwise had no user impact.

* DOCUMENTATION: The synopsis for autodie::exception::system
          previously implied system() was made autodying by default.
          This was not the case.  It must still be enabled with
          use autodie qw(system).

* DOCUMENTATION: Noted the 5.8 string eval bug in
          autodie/BUGS.

* TEST: Added test for correct caller output on
          autodie::exception objects.  Thanks to Piers Harding
          for spotting this bug at KiwiFoo.

* TEST: Added tests for user-defined autodying functions
          changing behaviour depending upon context.  This was
          reported in http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=744246 .

* TEST: Tests for autodie propagating into string eval.

* TEST: Expanded tests to ensure autodie::exception returns
          the correct line number and caller.

* TEST: Expanded tests to ensure autodie::exception returns
          correct information when calling subroutines in external files.

1.998 Sat Jan  3 11:19:53 AUSEDT 2009

* BUILD: Removed Module::AutoInstall, which previously
          was loaded but not used, but currently doesn't actually
          do what we want.

* TEST: We manually stringify $@ for one test in
          exception_class.t to avoid a bug involving overloaded
          classes containing apostrophies.

* TEST: unlink.t and mkdir.t avoid changing directories,
          which could cause spurious failures when @INC includes
          paths relative to the current working directory.

* DOCUMENTATION: Spurious "used only once" messages are
          documented in Fatal's documentation (as well as autodie's).

* TEST: truncate.t has been updated to avoid incorrect
          test failures on VMS machines.  Many thanks to Craig A
          Berry for the bug report and fix.  (RT #42110)

1.997 Thu Dec  4 15:14:00 AUSEDT 2008
        * TEST: Test::More 0.86 (and possibly 0.85) appears to
          dislike package names that contain the apostrophe
          character (these occur in some tests for Klingon
          localisation).  We now skip these tests on systems
          with Test::More >= 0.85 installed.

1.996 Thu Dec  4 09:07:39 AUSEDT 2008
        * FEATURE: Child classes can now provide an exception_class()
          method that returns the desired exception class, rather
          than over-riding the whole throw() method.  Existing classes
          that over-ride throw() will still work as before.

* BUGFIX: Fixed a bug where multiple autodie-derived classes
          would share the same subroutine cache.  This could result
          in excptions from the wrong class being thrown.

This bug did not affect programs which used only autodie,
          or a single autodie-derived class.

* BUGFIX: Missing 1.995 version tag added to export list.

* TEST: Make sure that we always have a working version tag for
          our current version.

1.995 Sun Nov 30 17:30:16 AUSEDT 2008

* FEATURE: Errors from 2-argument open now have more human
          friendly error messages for reading, writing, and appending.

* FEATURE: autodie will never print unsightly references to
          GLOB(0x...) structures in error messages; instead it uses
          the placeholder '$fh'.

* BUILD: Bundled Module::AutoInstall makes it clear to users
          they need to install IPC::System::Simple for autodying
          system() support.

* TEST: truncate.t provides more diagnostics on failure.

* TEST: Tests for better formatted reports from connect().

* TEST: New 'open.t' contains specific tests for well-formatted
          messages from open().

1.994 Thu Sep 25 16:18:56 AUSEST 2008

* BUGFIX: flock(), ioctl() and truncate() are now part of
          the :file tag.

* BUGFIX: link(), mkdir(), rmdir(), symlink() and umask()
          are now part of the :filesys tag.

* BUGFIX: The new :msg tag contains msgctl(), msgget(), msgrcv(),
          and msgsnd().

* BUGFIX: The new :semaphore tag contains semctl(), semget()
          and semop().

* BUGFIX: The new :shm tag contains shmget(), shmread() and
          shmctl().

* BUGFIX: The new :ipc tag contains :msg, :semaphore, :shm and pipe().

* BUGFIX: The read(), seek(), sysread(), syswrite() and sysseek()
          methods have been added to :io.

* BUGFIX: autodie produces more detailed messages on internal
          faults, and is more aggressive about stopping code compilation.

* FEATURE: flock will not die on failure when called
          with the LOCK_NB option and would return false
          due to an EWOULDBLOCK.  See function specific notes
          in autodie documentation for more details.

* FEATURE: Stringified exceptions from flock() are significantly
          nicer to read.

* FEATURE: use autodie qw(:1.994) can be used to specify the
          :default tag from a particular version.

* DOCUMENTATION: flock() is documented as being in the :file tag.

* DOCUMENTATION: Added function-specific notes in autodie.pm

* TEST: New tests for rmdir(), mkdir(), and unlink(), thanks
          to Jacinta Richardson.

* TEST: Added author-only perlcritic tests.

* META: META.yml has more correct author information.

1.993 Sun Sep 14 11:15:36 AUSEST 2008

* DOCUMENTATION: The :dbm tag is now correctly documented
          in autodie/CATEGORIES.  Thanks to Darren Duncan for spotting
          this.  (RT #39172)

* DOCUMENTATION: The README file has been updated to reflect
          current minimum Perl versions (5.8.0) and current resources.

* DOCUMENTATION: The closedir() function is properly
          documented as being included in the :filesys tag.

* DOCUMENTATION: Feedback section added to the autodie
          documentation.  If you find the module useful, consider
          saying so on cpanratings.perl.org, or dropping me a note.

* BUILD: Upgrade to Module::Intstall 0.77

1.992 Sun Sep  7 15:51:32 AUSEST 2008

* BUGFIX: unlink(), rename(), chdir() and closedir() functions
          are now included in the :filesys tag.

* BUGFIX: binmode() is now checked for failure as part of
          the :file tag.

* BUGFIX: Using an unopened filehandle in an autodying
          built-in no longer triggers a spurious warning.

* BUGFIX: RT #38845, corrected a missing space in the error
          produced by autodie when called with the ':void' switch.
          Many thanks to Matt Kraai for the patch!

* FEATURE: The dbmopen() and dbmclose() functions are now
          supported in their own :dbm tag.  This is part of :io
          (and hence :default).

* FEATURE: The dbmopen() built-in has its own formatter,
          which ensures errors always display the mask in octal,
          not decimal.

* DOCUMENTATION: The :filesys tag is properly documented.

* DOCUMENTATION: Added link to Perl tip on autodie.

* TEST: RT #38845, t/internal.t updated to detect malformed error
          messages involving the mixing of ':void' and autodie.

1.991 Fri Aug 22 23:57:24 AUSEST 2008

* BUGFIX: RT #38614, stringified autodie::exceptions objects
          now always end with a newline.  Thanks to Offer Kaye for the
          report.

* BUGFIX: Makefile.PL is no longer executable.

* BUGFIX: 'chdir' added to defaults, and the :filesys group.

* BUGFIX: RT #38598, the errno attribute on autodie::exception
          objects is now correctly set.

* BUGFIX: RT #38066, exceptions from system() now report
          the correct line number.

* TEST: Internal tests changes to ease integration with core.

* TEST: Checks added for empty 'errno' string in basic_exceptions.t

* TEST: Errors should end with a newline.

* TEST: fork tests should no longer mysteriously fail
          on Solaris.

* TEST: backcompat.t should no longer give strange failures on
          old versions of 5.8.3 or earlier.

* TEST: system.t ensures the correct file is reported.

* BUILD: Upgrade to Module::Install 0.75

1.99 Mon Jul 21 02:25:23 PDT 2008

* RELEASE CODENAME: "jarich", in thanks for her giving
          up pretty much a whole week of her life to do nothing
          but help me work on my talks for OSCON.

* BUGFIX: autodie will now check open() for returning
          undef, not merely false, as open() can legimiately
          return zero for open(my $fh, '-|') || exec(...) style
          calls.

* TEST: Added t/lethal.t, a test for basic subclassing.

* TEST: Added t/usersub.t, a test for correct handling
          of user subroutines.

* DOCUMENTATION: Noted in autodie.pm that user subs can
          only be made Fatal/autodying if they've been declared
          first.

* FEATURE: Conflicts between 'no autodie' and 'use Fatal'
          re-enabled.

* FEATURE: Added sysopen() and fcntl() to :file, and
          exec() and system to :system.  exec() doesn't yet work
          due to its prototype;

* FEATURE: Vanilla 'use autodie' now implies
          'use autodie qw(:default)'.  This excludes system(),
          which depends upon an optional module, and exec(),
          which breaks its exotic form.

* TEST: Internal tests moved from Fatal.t to
          internal.t

* FEATURE: Added support for fileno.

* FEATURE: Addded support for exec (although this
          breaks the exotic form while autodie is in scope).

* BUGFIX: 'no autodie' now plays nicely with user subs.

* DOCUMENTATION: Added a brief mention of the category
          system that autodie provides.

1.11_01 Fri Jul  4 12:53:11 AEST 2008

* RELEASE CODENAME: "Aristotle", in thanks for the many
          long and detailed discussions about the autodie interface
          and how it should interact with Fatal.  Aristotle was
          instrumental in ensuring autodie has the clean and
          simple interface that it does now.

* FEATURE: 5.8 now has the ability to differentiate between calls
          that return false to indicate failure, and those that
          only return undef to indicate failure.  CORE::send and
          CORE::recv are examples of these.

* FEATURE: You can now 'use autodie qw(fork)' to make sure your
          forks are successful (they must return defined).

* TEST: t/todo.t removed.  We have passing tests (recv.t)
          for the reminder I had stuffed into here.

* TEST: t/fork.t added, for testing autodying fork.

* INTERNAL: The internal subroutine _remove_lexical_subs has been
          renamed to a much less misleading name of _install_subs,
          since that's what it actually does now.

* BUGFIX: Found and fixed a nasty bug where autodie's internal
          subroutine cache was being too agressive.  This could result in
          handles from the incorrect package being used.  Scalar filehandles
          have never been affected by this bug.

* BUGFIX: Autodying subroutines will no longer leak into other
          files if they are used/required/done in the same lexical scope.

* BUILD: Fatal and autodie now install themselves with a
          INSTALLDIRS=perl target, meaning they will now correctly
          override (and possibly overwrite) your installed Fatal.pm
          on 'make install'.

* DOCUMENTATION: Documented the 'used only once' bug when
          using Fatal/autodie with package filehandles.  This has
          always existed in Fatal, and as far as I know it incurable
          (but harmless).

* FEATURE: autodie and its exceptions can now be subclassed!

* TEST: Added t/crickey.t as an example of using fair dinkum
          subclasses of autodie.  Mate, I reckon it's time for a beer.

* INTERNAL: Moved exception architecture from inside-out
          objects (which need lots of extra work under 5.8) to
          regular hashes (which don't need extra work).

* INTERNAL: Inlined relevant portions of Scope::Guard, meaning
          autodie can be installed with no dependencies.  (It still
          recommends IPC::System::Simple.)

1.10_07 Sun Jun 29 15:54:26 AEST 2008
        * RELEASE CODENAME: "ikegami", in thanks for solving the problem
          of getting lexical replacement of subroutines working for real
          under Perl 5.8.  As this works better than my 5.10 implemenation,
          it forms the foundation for this release.

* Removed inappropriate diagnostics about :lexical from Fatal.pm

* Moved can't mix lexical and void diagnostics to autodie.pm

* Added some basic tests for sysopen()

* Removed the 5.10 only way of tracking lexical hints with
          %^H.  Our code now exclusively uses the more portable
          5.8 code that employs Scope::Guard (and has less side-effects).

* Exotic system is no longer clobbered under 5.10 outside of
          autodie's scope.

* autodie::exception::match is better exercised in the 5.8
          test suite.

* Re-enabled 'use autodie' vanilla tests.

* t/backcompat.t no longer fails under Devel::Cover

* Repeating function names in arguments to autodie no
          longer causes those functions to become 'stuck' in
          autodying mode.

* Wrong-version of Fatal.pm support added, along with basic
          hints on how to get it working.

* Expanded documentation on autodie, particularly for
          exception handling under Perl 5.8.

* Less warnings from t/exceptions.t when running under 5.10.

* All releases now really depend upon Scope::Guard, not just 5.8.

1.10_06 Sun Jun 22 21:50:39 AEST 2008

* RELEASE CODENAME: "Chocolateboy", in thanks for his wonderful
          insights, and for letting me sound off way too many ideas
          about how things may be done.

* Fixed speeling errors in context.t, thanks to Stennie.

* Fixed minor pod errors and omissions.

* Fixed bug in recv.t which resulted in an incorrect number
          of skipped tests on systems using socketpair emulation.

* Fixed a bug that would cause unwanted interactions between
          autodie and autobox.  Thanks to chocolateboy. (5.8)

* Wrote a (failing) test case demonstrating that the
          autodie pragma could leak across files.  Many thanks to
          chocolateboy for bringing this to my attention.

* t/system.t checks to see if exotic system has been injured
          in the same package as 'use qutodie qw(system)'

* Calling filename reliably reported in 5.8 error messages
          and error objects.

* User subs can be made autodying under 5.8, but they leak
          over the entire package (which is very bad!)

* Context-checking tests split into package-scope tests and
          lexical scope tests.

* Lexical user-subs are disabled under Perl 5.8.  They were
          leaking everywhere and not being lexical at all.  Attempting
          to use a lexical user-sub under 5.8 now causes an error.

* Bugs found in interaction between autodie and Fatal in
          5.8.  When used together, we can't reliably replace a
          Fatalised sub with an autodying one, and then switch it
          back again at the end of block.

* Bugs described above fixed, thanks to ikegami!

* Overhauled _remove_lexical_subs, based on ikegami's
          input.  This routine would now be better named
          "_install_lexical_subs", since it can now both
          install and remove.

* Surpressed some warnings under 5.8 about uninitialised
          hints hashes.

* Added support for backwards compatible Fatal calls in
          5.8.  These are currently a little *too* backwards compatible,
          possessing the same bugs as the old Fatal (clobbering
          context).

* Improved caching of pre-generated subroutines.  We now
          cache the compiled subroutine, rather than the uncompiled
          code.

* Added more tests to ensure Fatal throws backcompat
          strings, whereas autodie throws exception objects.

* Support for lexical user-subs enabled, tested, and working
          in 5.8!

* Added resources to Makefile.PL / META.yml

1.10_05 Sun Jun 15 15:46:38 AEST 2008
        * Kludgy support for Perl 5.8 using Scope::Guard and dark
          and terrible magicks taken from namespace::clean.

* Rudimentary caching of generated code, to avoid having
          to regenerate the same code every single time Fatal/autodie
          is used on the same function.

* Nuking subroutines at end of lexical scope moved into
          own subroutine.

* Perl 5.8 support working!  Backcompat mode not yet
          supported, nor is autodie with user defined subs.
          The 5.8 support that is there is rather kludgy, and
          still needs a lot of work.

* Perl 5.8 code no longer gets executed under 5.10 when
          executing write_invocation().

* lex58.t tells the user that we'll get warnings under
          Win32, and these are to be ignored.  This is due to
          a Perl behaviour where it always calls the shell under
          Win32, even when multi-arg system is used.

* lex58.t no longer fails to compile on Perl 5.10 which
          is still clobbering exotic open.  Perl 5.8 does not
          clobber the exotic form.

* Backcompat tests are all marked as TODO under perl 5.8

* Makefile.PL moved back to saying autodie works under 5.8

* Context/user-sub tests skipped under 5.8, which does
          not yet support autodying of user subs.

* lex58 tests now skipped if IPC::System::Simple not installed.

* Squished a spurious warning from lex58.t

1.10_04 Sat Jun 14 15:02:17 AEST 2008
        * Made all $VERSION numbers more friendly to static code
          analysis tools (including CPAN).
        * Added a test to make sure all version numbers are incremented
          in lock-step.

* Started 5.8 support
                * Removed dependencies on 5.10 'use feature'.
                * Removed dependencies on 5.10 fieldhashes.
                * a::e::match no longer uses smart-match or //
                * %^H init doesn't use // anymore.
                * 5.8 won't try to use // in fatalised subs (kludge)

* recv.t corrected to use a custom socket (closed for writing)
          and to ignore SIGPIPEs.

1.10_03 Fri Jun 13 11:04:17 AEST 2008
        * Updated backwards compatibility tests to work on
          non-Enligh systems.

1.10_02 Fri Jun 13 10:55:00 AEST 2008
        * Tweaked boilerplate test to remove windows-only paths.

1.10_01 Thu Jun 12 17:19:13 AEST 2008
        * First beta release of module.

1.09    UNRELEASED
        * Many changes not documented here.
        * Fatal is now fully backwaards compatible again.
        * system() can be fatalised/autodying if IPC::System::Simple
          is installed.
        * Rationlisation of autodie::exception API.
        * autodie::exception->function() now always returns the
          full function name as best we can find it, and not
          what may be getting replaced (eg, CORE::open instead of
          main::open).

1.08    Sat Mar 29 10:54:20 AEDT 2008
        Dual-lifed module internally from work I was doing on p5p.
