0.24 2025-03-31
        - Add `shuffle_array()` function
        - Minor fixes for Win32 seeding
0.22 2025-02-04
        - BUGFIX: rand_float() on 32bit platforms was broken
0.20 2025-02-03
        - Calculate random floating point without bias
        - Use a better hashing function for srand()
0.18 2025-01-15
        - Drop `nanos()` for seeding because it isn't well supported on Windows
        - Document how to manually seed the PRNG
        - Add wrapper around srand()
        - Add random_elem(@arr)
0.17 2025-01-12
        - Add back in the unit tests
0.16 2025-01-08
        - Better document code
        - Catch if somehow our seeds are both zero
        - Log the random seeds used in the unit tests
        - Break all the random methods into their own test file
        - Use two different PCG32 generators to make 64 bit values
0.15 2024-12-11
        - Require Win32::API for Windows builds
        - Update POD documentation with correct bug reporting location
        - Minor perlcritic fixes
0.14 2024-11-28
        - Better documentation of individual functions
        - POD is more consistent with other Perl modules
        - BUGFIX: rand() is no longer inclusive
        - BUGFIX: random_float() uses the full range now (we were off by one)
0.12 2024-11-28
        - Simplify unit testing for ranges
        - Triply verify we are getting enough entropy from the OS
        - Uprgrade/override rand() to use a good PRNG
        - More efficient seeding
0.11 2024-11-19
        - Use grep instead of any because it is more supported
        - Fix some color output
        - Only run 64bit test on 64bit platforms
0.10 2024-11-17
        - Add random_float()
        - Bump the warmup to 1024 iterations because it is fast
        - Much improved unit testing
        - Cleaner XS linking code
        - Properly use CryptGenRandom on Windows
        - Error out if we cannot read /dev/urandom or CryptGenRandom so there is no chance of bad seeds
0.5 2024-11-12
        - Support for older Perls back to v5.12
        - Better support for 32bit Perls
