v2.0
 - Switched to semver. New release version is 2.0
 - Unified approach to types handling
 - "Base rules" renamed to "Common rules".
 - "Filter rules" renamed to "Modifiers". They do not validate anything, just modify data.
 - "Helper rules" renamed to "Metarules" as this rules are for describing other rules
 - Added common rule "any_object"
 - Added string rule "string"
 - Added string rule "eq"
 - Added metarule "variable_object"
 - Added metarule "or"
 - Added modifier "default"
 - Add more edge cases to test suite
 - Add experimental status to the "like" rule

v2.1 2026-10-19
 - Updated the test suite to the current LIVR test suite
 - A rule with several names, such as { like => '^\w+$', max_length => 20 }, dies.
   Only one of the rules was used, a random one (GitHub issue #11).
 - A validator that died on a wrong rule dies again on the next validate(). Before,
   the next validate() checked no fields and passed any data.
 - "or" passes empty values to its rule sets too, so "required" and "not_empty" in them work
 - No dependencies: "email" and "url" are checked as in the other LIVR implementations,
   without Email::Valid and Regexp::Common. The module loads in 9 ms instead of 21.
 - "email" rejects names and comments, such as "John <john@example.com>", spaces around
   the address, line breaks, and TLDs that start with a digit, as in an IP address without
   brackets. It accepts letters of other languages in the local part.
 - "url" accepts a user and password, a query without a path, any characters in the path
   and domain names in other languages. It rejects IP addresses with numbers over 255 and
   a trailing newline.
 - "url" checks a long wrong URL fast. A path of 100 KB took more than 20 seconds.
 - "iso_date" rejects a trailing newline
 - "iso_date" checks dates without Time::Piece, which printed "Garbage at end of string" warnings
 - "equal_to_field" does not warn when the other field is missing
 - "length_between" does not print debug output anymore
 - Faster: validation of a form is 3.5 times faster, "email" 14 times, "url" 5.7 times,
   building a validator and validating 2.6 times
 - The license in META is Artistic 2.0, it was "unknown"
 - Tests run on GitHub Actions with Perl from 5.10 to the newest one
 - README.pod is not installed anymore. MakeMaker before 7.32 installed it as Validator/README.pod
 - New documentation: a quick tour, all rules with their error codes, "prepare" and
   how to write rules in Perl
 - Bugs are reported in GitHub Issues, and META links to them

v2.2 2026-11-07
 - The rules of the LIVR 2.5 draft (https://github.com/koorchik/LIVR/blob/master/drafts/v2.5.md):
   boolean, not_one_of, max_decimals, digits, starts_with, ends_with, contains, iso_datetime,
   iso_time, required_if, when, values, keys, any, list_length, unique, split, uuid, ip, cidr,
   hostname, base64, hex, digest, mongo_id, hex_color, mac, e164, semver, jwt, luhn,
   credit_card and iban. They are loaded on first use, so "use Validator::LIVR" is not slower.
   They check their arguments in prepare(): a wrong argument dies, also undef
   ({ boolean => undef }) and undef or an empty list in place of rules
 - "iso_date" takes { min => ..., max => ... } with dates, "today", "yesterday" and "tomorrow"
   in UTC. Any other argument dies: before, it was ignored. { iso_date => undef } stays
   "iso_date". A boolean gives WRONG_DATE, not FORMAT_ERROR
 - "like": "$" matches only at the end of the value, as the LIVR specification
   requires. "^[0-9]{5}$" accepted "12345\n" with a trailing newline.
 - The rules of "or" and of aliases see the fields next to the field, so "equal_to_field"
   works in them. In "list_of", "equal_to_field" sees no other fields: before, it saw the
   item itself as the field "field"
 - "eq" and "one_of" compare booleans as strings: { eq => JSON::PP::true } accepts true and
   "true", so ["boolean", { eq => JSON::PP::true }] works. What they accepted before still
   passes: "1" for true and "0" for false, and in "one_of" a boolean for 1 or 0
 - "eq" outputs the value of the rule, as the specification and "one_of" do: { eq => 2 }
   outputs the number 2 for "2"
 - nested_object, list_of, list_of_objects, variable_object and list_of_different_objects with
   an extra argument lost the custom rules, "like" with an extra argument lost its flags
 - Updated the test suite to the current LIVR test suite, and added the LIVR 2.5 draft test
   suite in t/test_suite_2.5. Tests need Test::MockTime
 - Faster: building a validator does not copy the table of rules, "list_of", "or" and aliases
   validate values without a validator call

v2.21 2026-11-07
 - Docs: LIVR 2.5 is released, not a draft. Validator::LIVR implements LIVR 2.0 and
   LIVR 2.5, the documentation links the LIVR 2.5 specification and the rules on the site

v2.22 2026-11-08
 - Security fix in "url"
 - "url" checks the host and the port as LIVR 2.5 specifies now: it rejects a dot after the
   host, such as "https://www.google." or "http://example.com./path", host labels longer
   than 63 characters, ports above 65535 and a ":" without a port. Hosts without a dot,
   such as "intranet", any IPv4 address and a user with a password pass as before
 - Updated the LIVR 2.5 test suite to the current one, with the new "url" cases
