    * The framework that we use to test Perl::Critic Policies has been
      packaged into a convenient module that you can use to test your own
      Policies.  See Test::Perl::Critic::Policy and Perl::Critic::TestUtils
      for details.

    Policy Changes
    * BuiltInFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr no longer complains when there
      is a low-precedence operator between the substr() and the assignment
      operator.
    * CodeLayout::ProhibitParensWithBuiltins now allows 'state ($foo)'.  RT
      #52029
    * ErrorHandling::RequireCarping now has an
      allow_in_main_if_not_in_subroutine option to allow "die" directly in
      the default namespace.
    * InputOutput::RequireBriefOpen now recognizes CORE::open(),
      CORE::close(), CORE::GLOBAL::open(), and CORE::GLOBAL::close().  RT
      #52391
    * Modules::ProhibitEvilModules now complains by default about the modules
      deprecated by the Perl 5 Porters in 5.12.
    * Modules::RequireVersionVar documentation updated to make clear that "my
      $VERSION" does not work as a module version declaration.  RT #56667
    * The RegularExpressions::* policies have been converted from using
      Regexp::Parser to using PPIx::Regexp for their heavy lifting.
    * RegularExpressions::ProhibitCaptureWithoutTest now allows capture
      variables inside when() {}.  RT #36081.
    * RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture now checks for unused named
      captures.
    * Subroutines::ProhibitManyArgs revised to count only characters in the
      prototype that represent arguments.  RT #56627
    * Subroutines::ProhibitNestedSubs no longer complains about scheduled
      blocks (BEGIN, etc.) inside subroutines and vice versa.
    * Subroutines::RequireFinalReturn should now understand a final given/when
      statement, and declare an error if there is no 'default' block or if any
      branch does not return.
    * TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseStrict now accepts 'use 5.011' or greater
      as equivalent to 'use strict'.
    * ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMismatchedOperators false positive with
      "'foo' x 15 . 'bar'".  RT #54524
    * Variables::ProhibitPunctuationVars gave false positives on qr// regexp's
      ending in '$'.  RT #55604

    Bug Fixes:
    * The "## no critic" annotations now respect #line directives.
    * Annotations on statements spanning more than one line (e.g.
            my $foo =
                '$bar'; ## no critic (RequireInterpolationOfMetachars)
      ) are now handled as single-line annotations, not block annotations.
    * All instances of L<Foo> in the POD have been changed to L<Foo|Foo>.
      L</bar> and L<Foo/bar> were allowed to stand.  RT #37485
    * Spaces are now allowed immediately inside the enclosing parentheses in
      "## no critic ( Foo )".  RT #52038
    * With the introduction of PPIx::Regexp, Perl::Critic no longer dies
      when it encounters a Perl 5.010 regexp.  RT #49442.
    * DEVELOPER.pod typo in link to
      ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitConstantPragma policy. RT #57818
    * Spelling errors in documentation.  RT #57375
    * "die" used instead of "croak".  RT #56619
    * Fixed regex test that caused test failures on every Perl 5.11
      (credit Tom Wyant).
    * t/20_policy_pod_spelling.t now works (or at least no longer fails)
      in non-English locales (again).  RT #43291 and RT #48986.
    * Perldoc hae broken link for McCabe score definition.  RT #53219
    * RT #33935 and #49679 were fixed by upgrading to PPI 1.208

    Other Changes:
    * Perl::Critic::Utils::is_unchecked_call() updated to include chmod in the
      set of things covered by autodie (this happened in autodie v2.08).  The
      primary effect of this is on InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls.
    * Now depends upon Task::Weaken to ensure that we only install with perls
      where Scalar::Util::weaken() works.
    * Email::Address was optional, but is now required.  So everyone
      gets the optimal behavior from RequireInterpolationOfMetachars.
    * Some infrastructure has been extracted to the new PPIx-Utilities
      distro.  It is also a required dependency here.  Over time a good
      portion of Perl::Critic::Utils* will be migrated to this distribution.
    * Perl::Critic::Utils::PPI::get_constant_name_element_from_declaring_statement()
      is deprecated because it doesn't handle multiple constants being
      declared within a single "use constant" statement.  Use
      PPIx::Utilities::Statement::get_constant_name_elements_from_declaring_statement()
      instead.
    * Removed all uses of Perl::Critic::Utils::PPIRegep.  Since the
      PPIx::Regexp update, Perl::Critic only used get_match_string() and
      friends, which were superseded by the corresponding PPI methods.
      Perl::Critic now depends on PPI-1.208 or newer.
    * Moved Perl::Critic::Utils::PPIRegexp to the Perl-Critic-Deprecated.
    * The PolicySummary.pod file is now generated when the distribution
      is created, rather than when you install it.  This ensures the file
      will be available on http://search.cpan.org.  Thanks to Bear Longyear
      for bringing this to our attention.
