Hi all,
Development version 0.50_91 of Inline:Java has been released. Here is
a summary of what has changed.
Most importantly I had to drop support for perl 5.6 because there were
some limitations I just couldn't get around anymore (mostly because
Unicode support).
Interesting. I support this decision as 5.6.x was never really very
good. I've noticed from bug reports on other projects that 5.8.0 5.8.1
and 5.8.2 were buggy. Especially 5.8.0.
All versions of perl are buggy to a greater or lesser degree.
Hopefully, the further down the maintenance track you get, the fewer
bugs there are.
Almost makes me want to just require 5.8.3 and above for all my modules.
Do folks think that maybe the new version of Inline could just support
5.8.3 and above? In the docs we could just point users of older perls to
Inline-0.44.
I went through this process with Devel::Cover. There is a hard minimum
version requirement of 5.6.1, but I know of bugs in perl which cause
problems for Devel::Cover up to 5.8.1, so I have set a recommended
minimum version of 5.8.2.
Something sticks in my memory about 5.8.2 not being a good version and
5.8.3 being the recommended one.
I could be wrong...
