Usage documentation was added. The perlcritic
outputlevels were removed, so now there are error,
cosmetic, and info only. The shell is detected
from the shebang. New checks were added.
version.pm was added to the distribution (since it
is needed by Makefile.PL).
Rules are not checked in comments and strings.
Warnings are no longer grouped by type but sorted
by line number. New checks were added. A bug in
which --help was ignored was fixed. The shebang is
now patched by Makefile.PL/make.
The field shells is now an array reference. A
given rule is checked only for a set of shells. 80
columns seems to be what is usually recommended
(Sun and Linux kernel). The FUNCTION description
has been reworded. Command substitution of the
form "$(COMMAND)" is not accepted when --bourne is
specified. The ">&" type of redirection is in the
POSIX standard and is now accepted. The advice
about arithmetic compounds has been removed. This
release will warn about here string for every
shell. EXPORT_ASSIGN has been reformatted, which
is only relevant for Bourne. There is a new rule
about export and variable quoting.
