version 0.007; 2011-04-27
- update D::E::RS::RandomOrg to cope with fractional fill percentage
currently being returned by the website
- in D::E::RS::RandomOrg and D::E::RS::RandomnumbersInfo, use HTTP::Lite
instead of heavyweight LWP
- use full stricture in test suite
- in Build.PL, complete declaration of configure-time requirements
- explicitly state version required of Params::Classify
- include META.json in distribution
- add MYMETA.json and MYMETA.yml to .cvsignore
version 0.006; 2009-11-21
- be more stringent in parsing responses from networked entropy sources
- in documentation, point more prominently to Data::Entropy::Algorithms
- in documentation of Data::Entropy::Algorithms, more discussion of
overriding CORE::rand, including how to override it globally
- abandon use of the "fields" module
- use simpler "parent" pragma in place of "base"
- check for required Perl version at runtime
- in test suite, properly quote first argument to use_ok (lack of
quoting caused false test failures on Perl 5.11.2)
- in Build.PL, explicitly declare configure-time requirements
- remove bogus "exit 0" from Build.PL
version 0.005; 2009-03-03
- bugfix: require bugfixed version of Data::Float (for $SIG{__DIE__}
handling)
- in D::E::RS::RandomOrg and D::E::RS::RandomnumbersInfo, be more
stringent in parsing the returned data, to avoid potentially
generating non-byte bytes
- test POD syntax and coverage, and rename some internal functions
and make a small style change in documentation to satisfy the
coverage test
- drop prototypes from method subs (where the prototypes have no effect)
- in tests, avoid unreliable "\d" and "\w" regexp elements
- remove a stray "use Crypt::Rijndael" from one of the test scripts
- build with Module::Build instead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker
- complete dependency list
- express relationship with versions of Math::BigInt and Math::BigRat
as conflicts rather than dependencies
- include signature in distribution
- in documentation, separate "license" section from "copyright" section
version 0.004; 2007-09-03
- in D::E::RS::CryptCounter, construct the SEEK_* constants explicitly
instead of importing from Fcntl, to avoid requiring a version of
Fcntl that is only supplied with perl v5.8
- test explicitly for correct class of results
version 0.003; 2007-01-21
- avoid "my __PACKAGE__", for compatibility with perl v5.6
- markup fix in documentation for rand_flt()
version 0.002; 2006-08-05
- bugfix: rand_flt() with subnormal limits was horribly inefficient
- in rand(), don't attempt to generate a 48-bit fraction on systems
where it can't be represented, fall back to the longest possible
fraction
- in rand_fix(), use low-level floating point code from Data::Float
instead of doing it here
- expand documentation of rand()
version 0.001; 2006-08-03
- new function rand_flt() to generate a random floating point value
in a floating point way
- bugfix: in BigRat handling, use ->as_number instead of ->as_int
for BigRat->BigInt conversion, because ->as_int is faulty before
Math::BigRat version 0.14 but ->as_number is available in much earlier
versions (the version specified in Makefile.PL was one where ->as_int
was faulty)
- use standard interval notation in the Data::Entropy::Algorithms
documentation
- use "=> 0" instead of "=> undef" in unversioned dependencies in
Makefile.PL
- don't include underscore in string version of module version numbers
in Makefile.PL
- remove a redundant BigRat->BigInt conversion
version 0.000; 2006-07-19
