Changes for version 0.010

  • Security
    • The RandomOrg and RandomnumbersInfo sources were not properly fixed in 0.009, and have been removed. The concept of downloading random data from an external source is flawed.
    • This module has been deprecated since version 0.008. Please use an alternative such as Crypt::URandom, Crypt::SysRandom or Crypt::PRNG.
      • This now uses Devel::Deprecate to warn loudly about deprecation.
  • Documentation
    • Adjusted the Changes file.
