2.11  Mon Jul  2 03:30:03 PDT 2007
    New Features
    - Inheriting from yourself causes a warning [bleadperl 29090]

    Bug Fixes
    - Silenced warning when a class with no fields inherits from a class with
      fields. [bleadperl 22208]
    - An intermediate class with no fields messes up private fields
      in the base class. [bleadperl 23266] [bleadperl 23267]
    * Loading a module via base.pm would mask a global $SIG{__DIE__} in
      that module. [bleadperl 31163]
    - A constant named FIELDS in a base class would confuse base.pm
      [bleadperl 31420]

    Documentation Improvements
    - Added a DIAGNOSTICS section [bleadperl 22748]
    - Minor typos [bleadperl 25261]
    - Better explain how base goes about loading classes.
    - State explicitly that non-file classes can be based on.
    - Document that import() is not called.

    - Making it clear that fields::new() is usable with or without
      pseudohashes
    * Fixing inheritence from classes which have only private fields
    * Fixing inheritence when an intermediate class has no fields.
