obscure case.

Make Data::Dumper XS ignore Freezer return value. Fixes RT #116364.

Change call of isALNUM to equivalent but more clearly named isWORDCHAR

=item 2.139 (Dec 12 2012)

Supply an explicit dynamic_config => 0 in META

Promote to stable release.

Drop some "register" declarations.

=item 2.135_07 (Aug 06 2012)

Use the new utf8 to code point functions - fixing a potential
reading buffer overrun.

Data::Dumper: Sparseseen option to avoid building much of the seen
hash: This has been measured to, in some cases, provide a 50% speed-up

Dumper.xs: Avoid scan_vstring on 5.17.3 and up

Avoid a warning from clang when compiling Data::Dumper

Fix DD's dumping of qr|\/|

Data::Dumper's Perl implementation was not working with overloaded

implementations.

=item 2.135_01 (Dec 19 2011)

Make Data::Dumper UTF8- and null-clean with GVs.

In Dumper.xs, use sv_newmortal() instead of sv_mortalcopy(&PL_sv_undef)
for efficiency.

Suppress compiler warning

Keep verbatim pod in Data::Dumper within 80 cols

=item 2.131 (May 27 2011)

Essentially the same as version 2.130_02, but a production release.

=item 2.130_03 (May 20 2011)

Essentially the same as version 2.130_02, but a CPAN release
for the eventual 2.131.

=item 2.130_02

This was only shipped with the perl core, never released to CPAN.

Convert overload.t to Test::More

Fix some spelling errors

Fix some compiler warnings

Fix an out of bounds write in Data-Dumper with malformed utf8 input

=item 2.130 (Nov 20 2010)

C<Dumpxs> can now handle malformed UTF-8.

=item 2.129 (Oct 20 2010)

C<Dumpxs> no longer crashes with globs returned by C<*$io_ref>
[perl #72332].

=item 2.128 (Sep 10 2010)

Promote previous release to stable version with the correct version.

=item 2.127 (Sep 10 2010)

Promote previous release to stable version.

=item 2.126_01 (Sep  6 2010)

Port core perl changes e3ec2293dc, fe642606b19.
Fixes core perl RT #74170 (handle the stack changing in the
custom sort functions) and adds a test.

=item 2.126 (Apr 15 2010)

Fix Data::Dumper's Fix Terse(1) + Indent(2):
perl-RT #73604: When $Data::Dumper::Terse is true, the indentation is thrown
off. It appears to be acting as if the $VAR1 = is still there.

=item 2.125 (Aug  8 2009)

CPAN distribution fixes (meta information for META.yml).

=item 2.124 (Jun 13 2009)

Add three missing test files.

=item 2.123 (Jun 11 2009)

Re-add the INSTALLDIRS => 'perl' directive to Makefile.PL
of the CPAN release.

=item 2.122 (Jun  9 2009)

Promote previous developer release to stable release.

=item 2.121_20 (Jun  6 2009)

A host of bug fixes and improvements that have
accumulated in the perl core

Updated backport to 5.6.1 by Steffen Mueller <smueller@cpan.org>.

=item 2.121 (Aug 24 2003)

Backport to 5.6.1 by Ilya Martynov <ilya@martynov.org>.

=item 2.11  (unreleased)

C<0> is now dumped as such, not as C<'0'>.

qr// objects are now dumped correctly (provided a post-5.005_58)
overload.pm exists).

Implemented $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth, which was on the Todo list.
Thanks to John Nolan <jpnolan@Op.Net>.

=item 2.101 (30 Apr 1999)

Minor release to sync with version in 5.005_03.  Fixes dump of
dummy coderefs.

=item 2.10  (31 Oct 1998)

Bugfixes for dumping related undef values, globs, and better double
quoting: three patches suggested by Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>.

Escaping of single quotes in the XS version could get tripped up
by the presence of nulls in the string.  Fix suggested by
Slaven Rezic <eserte@cs.tu-berlin.de>.

Rather large scale reworking of the logic in how seen values
are stashed. Anonymous scalars that may be encountered while
traversing the structure are properly tracked, in case they become
used in data dumped in a later pass.  There used to be a problem
with the previous logic that prevented such structures from being
dumped correctly.

Various additions to the testsuite.

=item 2.09  (9 July 1998)

Implement $Data::Dumper::Bless, suggested by Mark Daku <daku@nortel.ca>.

=item 2.081  (15 January 1998)

Minor release to fix Makefile.PL not accepting MakeMaker args.

=item 2.08  (7 December 1997)

Glob dumps don't output superflous 'undef' anymore.

Fixes from Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no> to make Dumper() work with
overloaded strings in recent perls, and his new testsuite.

require 5.004.

A separate flag to always quote hash keys (on by default).

Recreating known CODE refs is now better supported.

Changed flawed constant SCALAR bless workaround.

=item 2.07  (7 December 1996)

Dumpxs output is now exactly the same as Dump.  It still doesn't
honor C<Useqq> though.

Regression tests test for identical output and C<eval>-ability.

Bug in *GLOB{THING} output fixed.

Other small enhancements.

=item 2.06  (2 December 1996)

Bugfix that was serious enough for new release--the bug cripples
MLDBM.  Problem was "Attempt to modify readonly value..." failures
that stemmed for a misguided SvPV_force() instead of a SvPV().)

=item 2.05  (2 December 1996)

Fixed the type mismatch that was causing Dumpxs test to fail
on 64-bit platforms.

GLOB elements are dumped now when C<Purity> is set (using the
*GLOB{THING} syntax).

The C<Freezer> option can be set to a method name to call
before probing objects for dumping.  Some applications: objects with
external data, can re-bless themselves into a transitional package;
Objects the maintain ephemeral state (like open files) can put
additional information in the object to facilitate persistence.

The corresponding C<Toaster> option, if set, specifies
the method call that will revive the frozen object.

The C<Deepcopy> flag has been added to do just that.

Dumper does more aggressive cataloging of SCALARs encountered
within ARRAY/HASH structures. Thanks to Norman Gaywood 
<norm@godel.une.edu.au> for reporting the problem.

Objects that C<overload> the '""' operator are now handled
properly by the C<Dump> method.

Significant additions to the testsuite.
