CHANGELOG

0.4.0

• First production release (even minor version).
• Rework POD and README to put minify.pl first as the primary interface, with the module API documented after it.
• README: document minify.pl --sub NAME and add installation instructions.
• Add Versioning rules to AGENTS.md.
• Add escape_newlines option (default on) that writes literal LF, TAB, and CR inside string literals as \n, \t, \r. Single-quoted and q() strings containing these characters are re-emitted as double-quoted strings. Strings with code inside interpolations are left alone.

0.03

• Add shorten_vars option to rename lexical variables to short names.
• Add wrap option to word-wrap output to a maximum column width (string/regex aware).
• Add strip_semicolons option (default on) to drop safe terminators before }.
• Add keep_name option (default on) to minify_sub; set to 0 for an anonymous sub { }.
• Add minify_sub to extract and minify a single named subroutine.
• Add minify_error accessor and $Perl::Minify::ERROR for error reporting.
• Add optimize option (EXPERIMENTAL) for constant folding of Number +/-/* Number chains.
• Add minify.pl --sub NAME to emit a single named subroutine.
• minify.pl reports parse errors to STDERR and exits 1.
• Treat tr/// / y/// transliteration as unsafe for wrapping.
• Integration: verify minified output compiles with perl -c.
