Revision history for Getopt-Long-Descriptive

0.116     2024-12-30 16:13:39-05:00 America/New_York
        - do not leave Getopt::Long configuration in an altered state after
          getting options

0.115     2024-11-07 18:00:02+00:00 Europe/Dublin
        - cope with the user forgetting the first argument, generally "%c %o",
          to `describe_options`, by assuming they meant that value exactly

0.114     2024-01-20 17:14:21-05:00 America/New_York
        - a switch with (required => 0) is no longer treated as a required!

0.113     2023-12-15 16:55:46-05:00 America/New_York
        - improve line wrapping so spacers (non-option text lines) can use more
          horizontal characters
        - replace tabs (generally 8 space) indents in output with four spaces

0.112     2023-11-20 19:34:53-05:00 America/New_York
        - This version removes the redundant option warning, which is now
          provided by Getopt::Long v2.55 and later -- which is now required!
          As before, this will someday become fatal.

0.111     2022-12-31 21:15:52-05:00 America/New_York
        - clean up the required perl version in the code
        - update author contact info

0.110     2021-10-30 23:11:43-04:00 America/New_York
        - just small packaging updates
        - ...and bumped the minimum perl to v5.12 (inadvertantly)

0.109     2021-03-16 19:55:45-04:00 America/New_York
        - eliminate warnings-count failure by requiring an ExtUtils::MakeMaker
          from late 2013 or later;  without this, very old EUMM could pass -w
          to the tests, enabling more warnings than we wanted (thanks, Matthew
          Horsfall and Graham Knop!)

0.108     2021-03-16 09:54:51-04:00 America/New_York
        - provide diagnostics in tests when more warnings arrive than are
          expected

0.107     2021-03-14 16:15:57-04:00 America/New_York
        - Term::ReadKey has been dropped; caused too many problems
        - minimum version is now v5.10.1, not v5.10.0

0.106     2021-03-12 21:29:54-05:00 America/New_York
        - improved formatting of switches
        - when available, use Term::ReadKey to get terminal width
        - when an option name is defined twice, warn about it
          THIS WILL BECOME FATAL IN A FUTURE VERSION

0.105     2020-02-26 09:40:36+11:00 Australia/Melbourne
        - one_of suboptions now get accessors (thanks, Michael McClimon!)

        - show --[no-]option for boolean toggle options

0.102     2018-02-20 14:44:17-05:00 America/New_York
        - long spacer lines are now line broken
        - "empty" spacer lines no longer have leading whitespace
        - option specifications ":+" and ":5" (etc.) now get better
          presentation in the usage description

0.101     2018-01-21 19:32:11-05:00 America/New_York
        - escape some unescaped braces in regex

        - show off "shortcircuit" in synopsis (thanks, Zhenyi Zhou)
        - Fix rendering of complex types ('i@' → 'INT...', etc)
          (thanks, Arthur Axel fREW Schmidt)

0.099     2015-01-23 21:11:09-05:00 America/New_York
        - options that take arguments now indicate the argument's type and
          whether it can be given multiply (thanks, Niels Thykier)

0.098     2014-11-16 14:35:34-05:00 America/New_York
        - when showing defaults, show false ones, too

0.097     2014-03-05 21:57:32-05:00 America/New_York
        - explicitly make the default behavior case-sensitive

0.091     2012-02-22 18:15:08 America/New_York
        - don't die quite so violently when a Params::Validate constraint fails
          (initial patch by harleypig@github; final blame to RJBS)
