The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.
1.12  Sep 30, 2005

- Newer versions of Perl use Unix-style filenames when reporting the
filename in caller(), which breaks Exception::Class tests on other
platforms, and is just kind of funky.  This module now calls
File::Spec->canonpath() to clean up the filename in each frame.
Reported by Garret Goebel.


1.11  Apr 12, 2004

- No code changes, just switching to including a Makefile.PL that uses
ExtUtils::MakeMaker instead of one that sneakily uses Module::Build.
Requested by Perrin Harkins.


1.10  Mar 10, 2004

- Silence a warning from the test code if Exception::Class isn't
installed.  Reported by Stefano Ruberti.

- Localize $@ to avoid overwriting a previously set $@ while creating
a Devel::StackTrace object.  This caused a test failure in the
Exception::Class tests when run with Perl 5.6.1, but not with 5.8.3.
I don't really know how to test for it outside of Exception::Class.
Reported by Jesse Erlbaum.


1.09  Feb 26, 2004

- The overload workaround blows up if a DBI handle is anywhere in the
stack, because of a bad interaction between overload::Overloaded and
DBI's custom dispatching.  This release works around that.


1.08  Feb 23, 2004

- Some tests failed on Win32 because they were hardcoded to expect a
file name with forward slashes.  Reported by Steve Hay.


1.07  Feb 21, 2004

- This release includes a change to the overload handling that is
necessary for cooperation with Exception::Class.


1.06  Feb 21, 2004

- Devel::StackTrace now uses overload::StrVal() to get the underlying
string value of an overloaded object when creating a stack frame for
display.  This can be turned off by setting respect_overload to a true
value.  Suggested by Matt Sisk.


1.05  Feb 17, 2004

- Devel::StackTrace incorrectly reported that arguments were being
passed to eval blocks (which isn't possible).  Reported by Mark Dedlow.


1.04  Sep 25, 2003

- The special handling of Exception::Class::Base objects was broken.
This was exposed by the fact that Exception::Class 1.15 now uses
Devel::StackTrace in a slightly different way than it did previously.


1.03  Jan 22, 2003

- Special handling of Exception::Class::Base objects when stringifying
references.  This avoids infinite recursion between the two classes.


1.02  Sep 19, 2002

- Forgot to add Test::More to PREREQ_PM for previous releases.


1.01  Sep 18, 2002

- Change the "no object refs" feature to be a plain old "no refs"
feature.  As was pointed out to me by Jean-Phillippe Bouchard, a plain
reference (to an array, for example), can easily hold references to
objects internally.  And since I'm not going to bother descending
through nested data structures weeding out objects, this is an easier
way to handle the problem.  Thanks to Jean-Phillippe Bouchard for a
patch for this as well.

The "no_object_refs" parameter is deprecated, and now does the same
thing as the "no_refs" parameter.


1.00  Aug 23, 2002 (from Taiwan)

- Add an option to not store references to objects in stack frames.
This can be important if you're expecting DESTROY to be called but a
Devel::StackTraceFrame object is still holding a reference to your
object(s).  Based on discussion with Tatsuhiko Miyagawa.


0.9   Nov 24, 2001

- Doc tweaks.


0.85

- doc bug fix that made it seem like args method was only available
under Perl 5.6.0
- converted objects from pseudo-hashes to regular hashes.


0.8

- Should work under Perl 5.6.0+.
- Added hints & bitmask methods for use under Perl 5.6.0.


0.75

- Added frames method (and docs for it).
- Added 'use 5.005' which I should have put in there earlier.
- DOCS: explanation of 'top' and 'bottom' as they refer to the stack.
