Changes for version 0.10 - 2012-12-04

  • Better handling of random_bytes() (no parameter passed): Now defaults to zero bytes explicitly, so we don't get "uninitialized values" warnings.
  • Added random_string_from($bag,$length) function.
  • Added tests for no param list, as well as for new random_string_from() function and its support functions.
  • POD enhancements.
  • Removed bytes pragma; it wasn't necessary, and prevented support for unicode code points in random_string_from()'s bag.

Modules
