Revision history for Perl extension Exception::Sink.

3.11  2026.09.24

    1. sink(): fixed ID parsing, single word after CLASS is now the message,
       not an undefined ID
    2. sink(): missing CLASS now defaults to SINK as documented
    3. sink(): die() location suffix is stripped for relative file names and
       for the ", <FH> line N." form too; plain " at /path" text is kept
    4. exception objects are always true in boolean context, so empty or "0"
       messages are no longer swallowed by dive() and surface()
    5. COPYING added to MANIFEST
    6. surface() and dive() re-sink any non Exception::Sink::Class reference
       (third party exception objects, plain refs), original reference is
       kept in OBJ attribute
    7. "Pkg::Name" text is no longer parsed as CLASS or ID
    8. exception objects compare as strings (eq, ne, cmp, sort, hash keys),
       previously these operations died with "no method found"
    9. get_stack_trace() treats negative skip as 0
   10. sink(undef) is the same as sink("")
   11. FILE, LINE and PACKAGE point to the user code which called sink(),
       boom(), dive() or surface(), not to Sink.pm internals
   12. exception objects stringify like die() text: " at FILE line N.\n" is
       appended unless the text already ends with a newline. uncaught
       exceptions now print their origin. use $993>{ORG} for the bare text
   13. boom() hides its internal boom_skip() frame from the stack trace,
       trace starts with the boom() call site
   14. docs updated
