-=head1 NAME
-
-HISTORY - public release history for Data::Dumper
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-=over 8
-
-=item 2.11 (unreleased)
-
-C<0> is now dumped as such, not as C<'0'>.
-
-qr// objects are now dumped correctly (provided a post-5.005_58)
-overload.pm exists).
-
-Implemented $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth, which was on the Todo list.
-Thanks to John Nolan <jpnolan@Op.Net>.
-
-=item 2.101 (30 Apr 1999)
-
-Minor release to sync with version in 5.005_03. Fixes dump of
-dummy coderefs.
-
-=item 2.10 (31 Oct 1998)
-
-Bugfixes for dumping related undef values, globs, and better double
-quoting: three patches suggested by Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>.
-
-Escaping of single quotes in the XS version could get tripped up
-by the presence of nulls in the string. Fix suggested by
-Slaven Rezic <eserte@cs.tu-berlin.de>.
-
-Rather large scale reworking of the logic in how seen values
-are stashed. Anonymous scalars that may be encountered while
-traversing the structure are properly tracked, in case they become
-used in data dumped in a later pass. There used to be a problem
-with the previous logic that prevented such structures from being
-dumped correctly.
-
-Various additions to the testsuite.
-
-=item 2.09 (9 July 1998)
-
-Implement $Data::Dumper::Bless, suggested by Mark Daku <daku@nortel.ca>.
-
-=item 2.081 (15 January 1998)
-
-Minor release to fix Makefile.PL not accepting MakeMaker args.
-
-=item 2.08 (7 December 1997)
-
-Glob dumps don't output superflous 'undef' anymore.
-
-Fixes from Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no> to make Dumper() work with
-overloaded strings in recent perls, and his new testsuite.
-
-require 5.004.
-
-A separate flag to always quote hash keys (on by default).
-
-Recreating known CODE refs is now better supported.
-
-Changed flawed constant SCALAR bless workaround.
-
-=item 2.07 (7 December 1996)
-
-Dumpxs output is now exactly the same as Dump. It still doesn't
-honor C<Useqq> though.
-
-Regression tests test for identical output and C<eval>-ability.
-
-Bug in *GLOB{THING} output fixed.
-
-Other small enhancements.
-
-=item 2.06 (2 December 1996)
-
-Bugfix that was serious enough for new release--the bug cripples
-MLDBM. Problem was "Attempt to modify readonly value..." failures
-that stemmed for a misguided SvPV_force() instead of a SvPV().)
-
-=item 2.05 (2 December 1996)
-
-Fixed the type mismatch that was causing Dumpxs test to fail
-on 64-bit platforms.
-
-GLOB elements are dumped now when C<Purity> is set (using the
-*GLOB{THING} syntax).
-
-The C<Freezer> option can be set to a method name to call
-before probing objects for dumping. Some applications: objects with
-external data, can re-bless themselves into a transitional package;
-Objects the maintain ephemeral state (like open files) can put
-additional information in the object to facilitate persistence.
-
-The corresponding C<Toaster> option, if set, specifies
-the method call that will revive the frozen object.
-
-The C<Deepcopy> flag has been added to do just that.
-
-Dumper does more aggressive cataloging of SCALARs encountered
-within ARRAY/HASH structures. Thanks to Norman Gaywood
-<norm@godel.une.edu.au> for reporting the problem.
-
-Objects that C<overload> the '""' operator are now handled
-properly by the C<Dump> method.
-
-Significant additions to the testsuite.
-
-More documentation.
-
-=item 2.04beta (28 August 1996)
-
-Made dump of glob names respect C<Useqq> setting.
-
-[@$%] are now escaped now when in double quotes.
-
-=item 2.03beta (26 August 1996)
-
-Fixed Dumpxs. It was appending trailing nulls to globnames.
-(reported by Randal Schwartz <merlyn@teleport.com>).
-
-Calling the C<Indent()> method on a dumper object now correctly
-resets the internal separator (reported by Curt Tilmes
-<curt@ltpmail.gsfc.nasa.gov>).
-
-New C<Terse> option to suppress the 'C<VARI<n> = >' prefix
-introduced. If the option is set, they are output only when
-absolutely essential.
-
-The C<Useqq> flag is supported (but not by the XSUB version
-yet).
-
-Embedded nulls in keys are now handled properly by Dumpxs.
-
-Dumper.xs now use various integer types in perl.h (should
-make it compile without noises on 64 bit platforms, although
-I haven't been able to test this).
-
-All the dump methods now return a list of strings in a list
-context.
-
-
-=item 2.02beta (13 April 1996)
-
-Non portable sprintf usage in XS code fixed (thanks to
-Ulrich Pfeifer <pfeifer@charly.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>).
-
-
-=item 2.01beta (10 April 1996)
-
-Minor bugfix (single digit numbers were always getting quoted).
-
-
-=item 2.00beta (9 April 1996)
-
-C<Dumpxs> is now the exact XSUB equivalent of C<Dump>. The XS version
-is 4-5 times faster.
-
-C<require 5.002>.
-
-MLDBM example removed (as its own module, it has a separate CPAN
-reality now).
-
-Fixed bugs in handling keys with wierd characters. Perl can be
-tripped up in its implicit quoting of the word before '=>'. The
-fix: C<Data::Dumper::Purity>, when set, always triggers quotes
-around hash keys.
-
-Andreas Koenig <k@anna.in-berlin.de> pointed out that handling octals
-is busted. His patch added.
-
-Dead code removed, other minor documentation fixes.
-
-
-=item 1.23 (3 Dec 1995)
-
-MLDBM example added.
-
-Several folks pointed out that quoting of ticks and backslashes
-in strings is missing. Added.
-
-Ian Phillips <ian@pipex.net> pointed out that numerics may lose
-precision without quotes. Fixed.
-
-
-=item 1.21 (20 Nov 1995)
-
-Last stable version I can remember.
