  - Corrected POD usage for new() in Cofig.pm.
    date_language was listed in wrong hash.
  - Fixed tons of typos in the POD for all *.pm files.

1.13 2025-02-13 08:30:00
  - Skipped unlucky release 13.

1.12 2025-02-06 08:30:00
  - Fixed typo in POD link in Date.pm.
  - Fixed t/70-validate_date_vars.t to handle timestamp test on even slower
    running machines.  Increased delay allowed from 20 sec to 2 min & modified
    test msg to say how close it is.  Grabbing the current timestamp during the
    test is proving problematic.  (Problem is with the test, not the module.)

1.11 2025-01-29 08:30:00
  - Fixed t/70-validate_date_vars.t to handle timestamp test on slow running
    machines.
  - Fixed t/10-validate_simple_cfg.t to properly get the userid for all
    platforms.

1.10 2025-01-01 08:30:00
  - Fixed so minimum version of 2.08 required for using Fred::Fish::DBUG.
    So it's limitations with earlier Perl versions wouldn't affect this one.
  - Updated copyrights to 2024 on all files, both *.PM & t/*.t.
  - Fixed t/75-check_all_languages.t to ignore buggy language definitions.
  - Fixed t/75-check_all_languages.t & t/76-check_all_languages2.t to
    make sure it creates the fish log before it tries to load optional
    modules.  So the developer tests will find the proper number of
    fish files.  Also speeded up the test cases.
  - Fixed POD NAME on all *.pm files to follow Perl standards.
  - Corrected various typos in the POD.
  - Updated stale links in the POD.
  - Config.pm & Options.pm - Added On/Off to get_boolean() & updated the POD
    to say so.
  - Config.pm - removed depreciated function section().
  - Makefile.PL - Fixed build script bug.
  - Fixed to require Fred::Fish::DBUG v2.09 so I could use it's new Test module
    in the t/*.t test scripts.   Simplified a lot of code.
  - Updated copyright to 2025 in all files.

1.09 2020-10-05 08:30:00
  - Fixed so minimum version of 2.01 required for using Fred::Fish::DBUG.
  - Modified all *.pm files to eliminate the BEGIN logic the older versions
    of DBUG required.
  - Modified all t/*.t test progs to use Fred::Fish::DBUG 2.01 qw / on /;

1.08 2020-03-16 08:30:00
  - Config.pm - Fixed most functions not exposed by POD to use a leading
    underscore in their names to be more consistent.  The remaining exceptions
    used to be exposed in POD and are being depreciated.  As always anything
    beginning with an underscore is subject to change without notice.
  - Date.pm - Major rewrite of parse_date() in advance of using Date::Manip as
    an alternate source to getting foreign language support.
  - Date.pm - Adding Date::Manip logic.  Greatly expands the number of languages
    and date formats allowed.
  - t/76-check_all_languages2.t - Test case to support using Date::Manip.

1.07 2020-02-20 08:30:00
  - Updated copyrights to 2020 on all files.
  - Made some corrections to the README file.
  - Reader.pm - Added an optional trim flag to expand_variables().
  - Reader.pm - Fixed balanced quote bug in parse_line().
  - Fixed t/60-recursion-test.t & 60-recursion-test.cfg to handle trim
    properly.
  - 40-validate-modifiers.cfg - Modified to highlight the parse_line()
    balanced quote issue was fixed.
  - Reader.pm - Fixed disable quotes bug by checking 1st in parse_line()
    quote detection section.
  - Config.pm - Changed section() to get_section(), depreciating section()
    with a stub function that prints warning if used.
  - Config.pm - Added create_section() and no longer exposed new_section()
    in the POD.  Also added new flag SENSITIVE_SECTION to tell if the section
    name was sensitive to fix bug in _base_set() & set_value().
  - Reader.pm - Fixed to use get_section() & create_section().
  - Reader.pm - Fixed hide section bug in read_config().
  - t/*.t - Fixed several test cases to use get_section().
  - t/11-manual_build.t - Fixed to use create_section() and to also create
    a sensitive section to verify masking words correctly for set_value().
  - Options.pm - Fixed floating point numeric checks in apply_get_rules().
  - 13-alt-get-tests.t & 13-alt-get-tests.cfg - fixed to allow 1. and .1
    as valid numeric test values.  Also added numeric flag to compare
    arrays function.   Also added additional floating point tests.
  - Options.pm - Fixed sudo bug returning wrong user in _get_user_id().
  - Config.pm - Fixed issue with print_special_vars() when called incorrectly.
  - Options.pm - Made corrections to the POD.
  - Date.pm - Fixed issue with lc/uc.  IE: In German -- M RZ vs m rz
  - Date.pm - Added wide char flag to _swap_common(), init_special_date_arrays()
    and swap_language() to allow for wide char/utf8 support.
  - New test case:  t/75-check_all_languages.t
  - Date.pm - Fixed a lot of minor bugs now that I have a test case that tests
    all the languages defined by Date::Language & realized just how inconsistent
    that module's language files really are.  But I don't have a better source
    for this data.
  - Config.pm - Fixed bug in load_config & load_string where it was modifying
    the default options instead of overriding them.
  - Added new option use_utf8 to supports config files written in UTF-8 mode.
  - Added new option to disable variable modifications when they cause
    problems.
  - Updated Makefille.PL to make DBUG v1.09 the minimum allowed version.
    That's when DBUG supported writing Wide Chars to fish.  It also allowed
    me to simplify all t/*.t test programs logging by removing support
    for obsolete features.  The module itself will still work with DBUG
    v1.03 or later as long as option 'use_utf8' isn't being used.
  - t/00-basic.t - Fixed to enforce the same min version as Makefile.PL.
  - helper1234.pm - Removed fixes for earlier DBUG versions.  No longer
    any need for a lot of conditional logic in test cases.
  - t/*.t - Removed calls to helper methods removed from helper1234.pm
    as no longer needed after DBUG min version upgraded.
  - Created full_developer_test.pl.src to make things easier for a
    full test of the module.  Does a summary pass then a detailed pass.
  - Created t/log_summary & t/log_details log dirs to hold the logs for
    each pass.  By default "make test" uses t/log_details.
  - Modified all t/*.t to call turn_fish_on_off_for_advanced_config()
    in the helper package to calculate which log dir to put the log
    file into.
  - Reader.pm - fixed perl 5.28 bitwise exclusive or on Unicode strings being
    depreciated.

1.06 2019-11-01 08:30:00
  - Removed the DBUG_REGISTER call from all modules since it's definition
    changed in DBUG (v1.08) and was depreciated.
  - Added the 3 back quote options for allowing your config files to run
    commands to set a tag's value per a user request.  (Disabled by default)
  - Then removed it for being too much of a security concern.  Left the options
    in as comments so I can remember why I backed it out until I can figure out
    better protection from malicious actors.
  - Improved disable tests in t/20-sensitive.t & it's config file.
  - Some minor POD corrections to all the modules.
  - Fixed expand_variables() in Reader.pm to continue expanding non-encrypted
    variables after an encrypted one was hit when option "disable_decryption"
    is used.
  - Fixed POD in Options.pm to reflect how "disable_decryption" now works
    with variables enabled.
  - Added 27-disable_decrypt_test.t to test out this feature.
  - Fixed tests t/28-sensitive_tests.t & t/35-improper_tests.t which broke
    when we fixed expand_variables().
  Never uploaded to CPAN.

1.05 2019-05-30 08:30:00
  - Added print_special_vars() as a quick & dirty way to get a list of the
    special variables supported by this module.
  - Added "section" as a new special variable!
  - Added "section" test to t/12-validate_sections.t to validate the new
    variable works correctly.
  - Options.pm - Added "use_gmt" as a new "Special Date Variable Formatting
    Option" to allow the use of gmtime instead of localtime when calculating
    the date variable values.
