Changes for version 0.13 - 2008-12-25

  • parse_version_safely now has a list context. It returns the sigil, identifier, value, filename, and line number for the VERSION variable.
  • Knowing the package name of the VERSION is important: it might be different than the filename or current package would suggest.
