0.99_001 2018-04-21
    BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE
        - new format for the .dataprinterrc file
    NEW FEATURES:
        - Data::Printer::Object available for public usage!
          (big thanks to frew && rjbs)
        - use DDP; p $foo, as => 'this is a label';
          Hopefully this helps people tag their debug code without having
          to write caller_info => 1, caller_message => '...'
        - theme => 'XXX' will try and load Data::Printer::Theme::XXX,
          which you can create to share your colour scheme with the world!
        - speaking of colours, you can now use up to 256 of them
          (if your terminal supports them, of course)
        - print only a slice of arrays and hashes with:
           - array_max => 10 (default is 50, set it to 0 for unlimited)
           - array_overflow => '(...skipping __SKIPPED__ items...)'
           - array_preserve => 'begin'
             if the array has more than array_max elements, preserve the first
             array_max elements and replace the rest with '(...skipping XX items...)'.
             Other available options are 'end', 'middle', 'extremes', and 'none'.
           - hash_max / hash_overflow / hash_preserve (same! note however that
             preserved keys will only be the same if hash keys are sorted)
             Defaults to 50.
        - ignore_keys to skip their dump (feature by Eugen Konkov)
        - string_max/string_overflow/string_preserve to limit string entries (scalars),
          just like arrays and hashes. Defaults to 1024 and 'begin'. Set it
          to 0 for unlimited size.
        - new 'separator', 'brackets' and 'overflow' colors to control
        - unicode_charnames, when set to 1 (together with escape_chars)
          will try and use the Unicode name when escaping strings.
          So `$s = "\x{2603}"; p $s` will output "\N{SNOWMAN}"
        - show_refcount => 1 exposes the reference count for the data structure
          (and inner data) if the count is greater than 1. (default 0, showing no refcounts).
        - show_memsize => 1 shows the (approximated) amount of memory the variable
          occupies for all variables on that level. This means that '1' will show
          the size of the entire data structure, while 2 will also show sizes of
          inner data, 3 will go even deeper and so on. To get the size of everything,
          use 'all' - though usually you'll probably want to just use '1'.
          This requires Devel::Size, so the default is 0 for none.
        - memsize_unit defined in which unit to show the memory usage. Can be
          set to 'b'(ytes), 'k'(ilobytes), 'm'(egabytes) or 'auto' (the default).
        - new property 'format_inheritance', defaults to "lines", a shiny and much
          clearer new way to displays methods per inherited package. You may also
          set it to 'string' to preserve the old behaviour.
        - inheritance tree is considered when filtering objects unless you disable
          it with 'parent_filters => 0' (Ovid)
        - new option 'stringify' (default: 1) will return the stringified version
          of the object, if one is available. It will try overloaded strings/numbers,
          as_string() and stringify() calls, respectively. Note that this will efectivelly
          ignore all other class details you may have chosen.
          (Sergey Aleynikov, Benct Philip Jonsson)
        - new option show_overloads (default: 1) will list all overloads
          from the object's class.
        - the standard class filter is now able to show internals in blessed subs
        - support for faster natural sorting via Sort::Key::Natural
          if the user has it installed (feature request by @grr on github)
    BUG FIXES:
        - fix array subelement alignment when index is shown (GARU)
        - show UNIVERSAL in linear ISA if it's on (GARU)
        - use "\n" instead of $/ as default line separator (Håkon Hægland && Chung-Kuan Tsai)
        - less magic added to internal Perl representation of variables
          (Jarrod Funnell, Sergey Aleynikov, Michael Conrad, Nicolas R.)
        - show_methods is now independent from show_inherited, meaning you can
          check all inherited methods and no local ones, or any combination thereof.
          This is the expected behaviour from the documentation, but was not happening.

        - Data::Printer::Filter should imports np() as well

0.36 2015-05-29
    Bumping 0.35_01 to stable. Below is the (repeated) changelog,
    with the single addition of the 'scalar_quotes' patch.

    BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE
        - p()'s return value now defaults to 'pass'. Please see
          https://github.com/garu/Data-Printer/issues/16 for the
          full discussion. THIS WILL BREAK CODE RELYING ON p() TO
          RETURN A STRING. To fix your code, please set 'return_value'
          to 'dump' explicitly, or use the experimental np() function.

    NEW HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE:
        - np(), a version of p() that always returns the string instead
          of printing it.

    NEW FEATURES:
        - Add 'escape_chars' to allow \x{...} printing for chars
          (patch by Mark Fowler)
        - 'scalar_quotes' let you specify the quote to use when,
          well, quoting (Ivan Bessarabov)
        - Class::Date support in the DateTime filter (Ivan Bessarabov)

    BUG FIXES:
        - fixed crash in esoteric classes (github issue #41, thanks
          Ivan Bessarabov for reporting)
        - removed support for Digest::Haval256, as it can't really be
          observed without damaging the original data. If future versions
          provide a clone() function, it can be added again.
        - Being extra loud when rc files fail to load (RT#89203, thanks
          Caleb Cushing for reporting).
        - Prevents PERL5OPT from interfering with deparse tests (github
          issue #55, thanks David Precious for reporting)

    OTHER:
        - more tests
        - new external filter indexed: PDL
