Subject: 'Changes' file is outdated
The 'Changes' file does not contain information about the current release. Information about previous releases is also missing. This information is helpful for users who are looking for a module: it can help them to evaluate the stability of the software and the status of its maintenance. -- Olivier Mengué - http://perlresume.org/DOLMEN

Also right. The Changes file in previous releases was a very lazy dump of the git commit log. I felt bad about that and removed it when I began to write a proper changelog. Unfortunately (as I wrote in your other ticket) SQL::DB is no longer being developed. I'll also leave this ticket open until I either fix it or remove the distribution from CPAN. Regards, Mark. p.s. I'm not sure if you were interested in SQL::DB (or if you are just trying to get CPAN distributions cleaned up - a good thing) but DBIx::ThinSQL is the replacement. -- Mark Lawrence
I've just uploaded a final version of SQL::DB that marks the distribution as depreciated. Hence I'll be closing all tickets. -- Mark Lawrence
