Subject: Changes file does not details versions
Changes files normally contain the version numbers of each release with the change details, so that people setting dependencies on version.pm can choose WHICH revision of version.pm to depend on. The Changes file for version doesn't say which changes were made for which revision, so it's impossible to choose an appropriate revision to depend on. Please start saying which revision is which, and if possible add in the historical revisions to the Changes file.
Thanks for [unintentionally] reminding me to delete all old releases of version.pm from CPAN. The release of 5.10.0 (which include the moral equivalent of version-0.74) has caused this to be the only release which should be supported. Barring serious bug, I don't ever intend to release version.pm again. I suppose I could bump the $VERSION to 1.000 and make this clear (I discussed this with RGS before 5.10.0 was cut, but it never happened). Thanks John
