- New upstream release 1.140
- Subroutines::RequireFinalReturn now lets you specify a terminal_methods
parameter to specify methods that should be seen as terminal; this is like
the terminal_funcs parameter, but for methods (GH#920)
- Removed an extra /x in RequireInterpolationOfMetachars.pm that caused
deprecation warnings in Perl 5.22 and higher (GH#822)
- Documentation::RequirePackageMatchesPodName now recognizes the package
name if it's in 'I<>' or 'B<>' markup (GH#913)
- Use %license unconditionally
- New upstream release 1.138
- RequireCheckingReturnValueOfEval didn't count returning the result of an
eval as checking it - now it does; however, it's only if you "return eval
{ ... }" - it still doesn't handle the case of "return ( eval {} )"
(GH#324)
- ProhibitPunctuationVars would get confused and think that the expression
qr/SOME$/ was using the $/ special variable (GH#843)
- New upstream release 1.136
New Features
- The ProhibitNoWarnings policy now handles warnings in the experimental::
group (GH#892)
Documentation
- Prevented some example code from showing up in 'perldoc' (GH#799)
- Fix shellbang in ppidump tool
- New upstream release 1.134
New Features
- Added new policy BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitShiftRef (GH#837)
- Support indented heredocs (GH#861)
- In Subroutines::ProhibitManyArgs, you can now omit the object variable
(C<$self> or C<$class>) from the argument count (GH#815)
Policy Changes
- The policy Documentation::RequirePodLinksIncludeText is obsolete and has
been removed (GH#494)
Dependencies

New Features
- In the ProhibitLeadingZeros policy, added an exception for mkfifo (GH#786)
- Add colour support for Windows platforms (GH#700)
- Perl::Critic now assumes that .psgi files are Perl, too (GH#805)
- Variables::ProhibitUnusedVariables no longer gives a false positive for
variables used in interpolation (GH#801)
- Added the ability to specify a regex to tell what unused private
subroutines are OK in Subroutines::ProhibitUnusedPrivateSubroutines; this
is handy for Moose classes where there could be many false positives on
_build_xxxx() subroutines (GH#811, GH#812)
Dependencies
- Perl::Critic now no longer relies on the deprecated Email::Address
(GH #816)
Bug Fixes
- Recode Perl::Critic::Utils::all_perl_files() to use File::Find instead of
opendir/readdir; this solves endless directory traversals if the
directories contain circular symbolic references
- Added missing requirement for Fatal.pm
Documentation
- Added CONTRIBUTING.md
- Switch upstream from search.cpan.org to metacpan.org
- Switch spell checker from aspell to hunspell
