- Avoid storing warnings which will not be output.
** 1999-08-04 RELEASE 2.42
- Clearly distinguish errors from warnings.
- Error reporting wasn't happening: repaired.
- Fixed malformed REx detected by perl 5.5.58.

** 1999-07-14 RELEASE 2.39
Many suggestions from redletter@iname.com:
- Sane exit statuses for envy.pl.
- Change 'echo' to just print instead of acting like a warning.
- Upgraded "Variable '$var' not set" to be an error instead of a
warning. Also, -strict option to upgrade all warnings to errors.
- Documentation clean up.
** 1999-06-21 RELEASE 2.38
- Built okay with 5.004_05. Update documentation.
** 1999-06-15 RELEASE 2.37
- ENVY_PATH is now used only to find the First dimension. Moreover,
it is required that ENVY_PATH be re-assigned in First. This should
make it possible to switch between First dimensions correctly. (Based
on insightful feedback from Alexander.Shugayev@db.com!)
** 1999-06-09 RELEASE 2.36
- Significant ergonomic improvements to wrapper. (Kudos to
Alexander.Shugayev@db.com & Vicky.Nayer@db.com)
- Assure order of ENVY_PATH when switching between environments.
- Warnings for stupid dimension names.
- Quell warnings emitted by unload all.
- s/depreciated/deprecated/g
- Versions 2.34 & 2.35 were for prerelease testing.
** 1999-05-13 RELEASE 2.33 [STABLE]
- Change default $PATH to /bin:/usr/bin (suggested by
binkley@bigfoot.com),
- New FAQ entry: how to manage perl releases with envy.
** 1999-05-07 RELEASE 2.32 [STABLE]
- Change default $PATH to /bin.
** 1999-05-06 RELEASE 2.31 [STABLE]
- Keep the first components of $PATH set to Conf.pm $env0{PATH}
(suggested by Chris Fumai). This closes the door on malicious
binaries (named 'ls' for example).
- Repaired 'envy unload all'.
** 1999-02-08 RELEASE 2.30 [STABLE]
- Doc tweaks.
** 1999-02-04 RELEASE 2.29 [STABLE]
- ENVY_PATH is no longer reset when unloading. (Kudos to Sasha! :-)
Added regression tests.
- Doc tweaks.
** 1998-12-31 RELEASE 2.28 [STABLE]
- Fixed 'envy reload'.
** 1998-12-10 RELEASE 2.27 [STABLE]
- Fixed $db->all_matching (list & paths were broken?).
- Tweak 'envy show' to ignore the current environment a bit better.
** 1998-11-24 RELEASE 2.26 [STABLE]
- Factored out parts of envy.pl to Envy::UI library.
- Tweaks for smoother dimension swapping.
** 1998-11-20 RELEASE 2.25 [STABLE]
- Extra check for VERSION mismatch between envy.pl & Envy::DB.
- Tweaks for login.IN (patrick@rcsm.ece.mcgill.ca).
** 1998-11-08 RELEASE 2.24 [BETA]
- New short-cuts: 'unenvy' for quick unload and $ENVY_VERBOSE to set
the default verbosity level.
- Envy modules are now reference counted for more accurate dependency
tracking. (One of Tony's satoris!) As a side effect, the symantics
of ENVY_STATE have changed slightly (but it is still mostly backward
compatibile).
- Very long (>1000 characters) envy state variables are now split into
easily digestable chunks. Added tests. (Thanks Tony!)
- Implemented an optimal differencing algorithm to minimize
environment changes.
- Downgraded some errors to manditory warnings.
- Significant Envy::DB API improvements.
** 1998-10-21 RELEASE 2.23 [STABLE]
- Descriptions are now displayed in 'envy list'. (Thanks Tony!) Moved
full-paths to 'envy show paths'.
- Add -v option to wrapper.
** 1998-09-26 RELEASE 2.22
- Set $LOGNAME in wrapper if not already set.
- Announce new mailing list: envy@listbox.com!
** 1998-09-13 RELEASE 2.21
- Documentation updates.
- Improved configuration and installation.
** 1998-09-12 RELEASE 2.20
- Simplified configuration even more. Once you install envy once, it
will remember the installation settings across subsequent upgrades.
** 1998-09-11 RELEASE 2.19
- Fixed configuration problem with re-installing. Added tests.
- 'envied' shows loaded envies in a tree layout!
** 1998-09-03 RELEASE 2.18
- Tweaked handling of 'First' dimension.
** 1998-09-01 RELEASE 2.17
- Append and assignment were ambiguous and assignment took precedence.
Append is now assumed. Added tests.
- Envies found in .priv directories are hidden from the listing.
- Fixed 5.004-ish warnings.
** 1998-08-31 RELEASE 2.16
- A fairly large amount of work (mostly in the form of deep pondering)
has gone into this release. Please consider it BETA and test
it carefully!
- Replaced bizarre installation instructions with much simpler.
- Improved start-up time.
- More documentation: envy help and FAQ.pod
- Changes to the ENVY_PATH are now reflected (immediately) when
loading multiple envys during a single invokation.
- Added support for *.site configuration files. This allows per-site
customization of default settings (like xemacs).
- Switched default umask to 002. Should be part of site
configuration?
** 1998-03-05 RELEASE 2.15
- Fixed handling of $HOME/.envy.
- Improvements to Envy::Load.
** 01-16-98 RELEASE 2.13
- I've been waiting for the code to stabilize. This release seems
very stable so I am releasing it. The csh support still needs to be
brought up to date and better documentation is in the works.
- Phased out support for backward-compatible envy state environment
variables.
** 12-20-97 RELEASE 2.10
- Envys that set ETOP are treated specially. Only one should be
loadable at the same time.
- Added support for 'echo' in envy files.
- Components are no longer removed from ENVY_PATH.
- Logging of all envious activity to $ETOP/var/envy.log.
- Improved organization of *.part2.

reverse order. Fixed.
- Adjusted dependency tracking to reduce false warnings.
- '.' is no longer added to the front of the PATH by default.
** 12-13-97 RELEASE 2.07
- Slightly better dependency tracking. Avoids unloading ETOP during
'unload all'.
- envy load/unload now accept multiple targets on the command line
- More whitespace stricture in envy files.
- Slightly improved error messages.
- Factored 'wrapper' to use INITIAL_ENV.
** 11-24-97 RELEASE 2.06
- Initial public release.
