Subject: Changes did not change
Hi,

You published a few releases today, but the 'Changes' file does not mention what changed...

Hi, thanks for the vigilance! What I was actually doing with the _00 _01 _02 releases was trying to get it right for the real 0.002000 release. I kept noticing flaws once I had published it. (it helps me to see it from the user's perspective when I can look at the real CPAN page and pretend its someone else's module and I'm trying to learn about it) Also I wanted to see some cpan tester results from other versions/platforms. So, what I did with each dev release was update the Changes file under the 0.2.0 section. It should be fairly complete.

The problem is that version numbers for package have different issues in some parts of the Perl environment:
http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/369/version-numbers-should-be-boring/

I don't think it is safe to publish 0.002000 after 0.002000_01, as some tools may be confused. For example, rt.cpan.org is confused as it orders the releases in ASCII order in the "Fixed in" list, so 0.002000 is before 0.002000_00 and 0.002000_01.

At least as a human I am confused by this.
That's why a clear 'Changes' file that mention the intermediate development releases would clarify this.
Another way would be to completely skip 0.002000 once you used this for a _01 dev release. That's how ExtUtils::MakeMaker does: 6.96, 6.97_01, 6.97_02, 6.98. That would ensure that both tools and humans are not confused.

I have deleted the offending test-releases, since they weren't really intended for the public anyway. Also, the module has a new unambiguous version now.
