Revision history for Data-Entropy:

0.010
  [Security]
  - The RandomOrg and RandomnumbersInfo sources were not properly fixed in 0.009, and have been removed.
    The concept of downloading random data from an external source is flawed.

  - This module has been deprecated since version 0.008. Please use an alternative such as
    Crypt::URandom, Crypt::SysRandom or Crypt::PRNG.

    This now uses Devel::Deprecate to warn loudly about deprecation.

  [Documentation]
  - Adjusted the Changes file.

0.009
  [Security]
  - The RandomOrg and RandomnumbersInfo sources now make requests over https. (CVE-2026-18536)

  - This module has been deprecated since version 0.008. Please use an alternative such as
    Crypt::URandom, Crypt::SysRandom or Crypt::PRNG.

  [Documentation]
  - Updated security policy to have consistent contact instructions.

  - Reformatted Changes to conform to CPAN::Changes::Spec.

  - Updated author email.

  - Updated copyright year.

  [Other]
  - Updated license metadata in Makefile.PL.

  - Stopped signing the distribution, since Module::Signature is deprecated.

0.008    2025-03-27

  - Use Crypt::URandom to seed the default algorithm with
    cryptographically secure random bytes instead of the builtin
    rand() function (CVE 2025-1860).

  - This module has been marked as deprecated.

  - A security policy was added.

  - Remove use of Module::Build.

  - Updated maintainer information.

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

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

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

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

0.003    2007-01-21

  - avoid "my __PACKAGE__", for compatibility with perl v5.6

  - markup fix in documentation for rand_flt()

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()

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

0.000    2006-07-19

  - initial released version
