+Version 1.1.6 - 11 Aug 2003, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
+- perl_checker:
+  - allow $_o_XXX parameter name which is both unused and optional (same for $_b_XXX)
+  - shift is a ONE_SCALAR_PARA so that $box->pack_start(shift @l, 0, 0, 4) is parsed correctly
+  - in arrange_global_vars_declared(), don't keep anything in global_vars_declared, better
+    create shadow packages to contain them
+  - much better merging of multiple files defining functions in the same package.
+    This fixes the bad behaviour when using the cache (esp. do_pkgs, but it was even worse
+    with things in ugtk2.pm)
+  - adapt to perl-Gtk2 xs (which replace the perl-GTK2 inline version)
+
+Version 1.1.4 - 27 May 2003, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
+- many perl_checker enhancements:
+  - disallow return(...), prefering return ...
+  - enhance restricted_subscripted to correctly handle -e foo::bar()->{boo}
+  - handle use foo() and use foo ("x", "y")
+  - better warning for: print $a . 'foo'
+  - add a special case to handle "arch => 1" without going through word_alone()
+  - warn things like: if ($a = 1) { ... } or 0 or ...
+  - explicitly disallow <<=, >>= and **= (instead of having a syntax error)
+  - check prototype coherence: disallow ($a, @b, $c) or ($a, $o_b, $c)
+  - warn spurious space in ( 1, 2) which should be (1, 2)
+  - warn $o->method() which should be $o->method
+  - suggest using the functional map instead of the imperative foreach when possible
+  - add warning: you can replace "map { if_(..., $_) }" with "grep { ... }"
+  - suggest any instead of grep in scalar context
+  - suggest foreach instead of map in empty context
+  - fix "/^\d+\.\*$/" giving warning "you can remove \".*$\" at the end of your regexp"
+
+Version 1.1.3 - 16 May 2003, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
+- fix pot generation (have \" instead of \\\")
+
+Version 1.1.2-2mdk - 12 May 2003, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

+  (except for perl-MDK-Common-devel which need special handling for the faked packages)
+
+Version 1.1.2 - 29 Apr 2003, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

+  - ensure the values are used (eg: "map { ... } ...", "/xxx/")
+  - ensure the values "... or ...", "... and ..." are not used
+

+- basic "number of arguments" checking
+
+Version 1.0.5 - 11 Apr 2003, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
+- many perl_checker enhancements:
+  - allow 333 * `xxx` with no warning
+  - warn non-useful or non-readable escaped sequences in strings and regexps
+    (eg: /^\// should be m|^/|, /xxx\=xxx/ should be /xxx=xxx/ ...)
+  - warn things like: ($foo) ||= ...
+  - enhance non_scalar case for some operators using is_not_a_scalar
+  - handle "keys %pkg::" (twas broken because keys() is now a ONE_SCALAR_PARA)
+  - keys() is a ONE_SCALAR_PARA
+  - correctly (in Perl way) handle priority for some special unary functions (length, exists, ref)
+  - warn xxx == "ia64", xxx eq 2
+  - 0.2 is a NUM, not a REVISION (otherwise it gets into a Raw_string)
+  - better error message ("please remove the space before the function call"
+    instead of "can't handle this nicely")
+  - warn when using a regexp terminated with .* or .*$ (which is useless)
+  - allow to selectively import from @EXPORT instead of only accepting @EXPORT_OK
