Changes for version 0.05 - 2026-01-10
- Nearly 20 years after the last release, I have to make a new one because new versions of Perl idiotically changed the language by making it illegal to use GOTO to jump into code controlled by an IF. You may argue that this is bad style, but to "fix" it by breaking a program that has been running for 20 years is, to say the least, extraordinarily impolite. See https://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/7e3e9642-df43-11f0-ba4c-94b2d3ebcae0 The new release changes the code to avoid this perfectly harmless construct.
- At some point during these 20 years, the order of playing out the keys of a hash became random rather than merely unspecified. As a result, we were no longer getting consistent builds of a game. So I have modified the code-generator to sort the vocabularies -- not because I want them sorted, but because I need them consistent in order for the code-generation tests to pass.
- Include the generated file lib/Games/ScottAdams/Tutorial.pod (created by make in in ./tutorial) in version control.
