- Fix F<Makefile.PL> so this F<Changes.pod> is not delivered as C<Set::Changes> :-}
- =item *
- Restore compatibility with 5.6.0
- =item *
- Remove some compile-time warnings, please let me know if this version does not build on any platform!

- =item *
- added patch from Sergey Skvortsov for backwards compatibility with Perl versions before 5.8 (include >100k F<ppport.h>!)
- =item *
- removed 'C<set()>' constructor from default export list, as its name conflicts with too many other modules.
- =back
- =head1 1.11, 27 Apr 2005
- =over
- =item *
- removed debugging C<&_> func (was causing strange errors on 5.9.1)

- =head1 1.10, 2 Apr 2005

- =item *
- added 'C<set()>' constructor and use-as-array-ref interface

- =head1 1.09, 26 Mar 2005
- =over
- =item *
- added 'bool' overload operator to C<Set::Object>. For backwards compatibility, always returns true.

- =item *
- Cutting out the "Universe" representation; this module gives plain sets only.
- =item *
- documentation fixes

- =item *
- First attempt at adding support for scalars. This version tries to work as closely to C<Set::Scalar> as possible.
- This approach will not be continued unless there are a lot of requests for it to be implemented. I think it's overly complicated, and not what people expect when they want a Set.

- =item *
- another segfault bites the dust; this time, avoids a segfault when taking a difference between sets of exactly 31 and 0 size. Same root fault as the previous bug, this time I have a test case for it, too.
- =back
- =head1 1.07, 16 Aug 2004
- =over
- =item *
- yet another segfault fix, this time due to incorrect use of PUSHs vs XPUSHs. There is no test case for this bug unfortunately.

- =item *
- Fixed segfault when attempting to remove items from an empty set (fix from Richard Sterling Cox)
- =back
- =head1 1.05, 5 Jan 2004
- =over
- =item *
- some segfault fixes with Storable and Perl 5.6.1 (Perl 5.8.1 should be OK)
- =back
- =head1 1.04, 3 Aug 2003
- =over
- =item *
- added various functions similar to some found in Scalar::Util, but with an extra one that performs a function that lays some groundwork for L<Container::Object> (C<ish_int>).
- Some of these functions were in the XS code anyway, and they are extremely small, so I didn't see a problem with duplicating them - saves an extra dependancy. Plus, Graham Barr won't let me put C<ish_int> or C<is_key> in his module.
- Knowing that they are available will also assist in fixing some longer standing bugs in Tangram (eg, using C<$obj + 0> to get a unique ID when C<refaddr($obj)> would be better)
- =item *
- lots more input marshalling; if you ever end up doing funny things to a C<Set::Object>, then at least now you'll get a clearer error message.
- =item *
- more tests; L<Devel::Cover> test coverage now at 91% (stmt), 67% (branch)
- =item *
- erroneously putting scalars into C<Set::Object>s now no longer dumps core.
- =item *
- serialisation of C<Set::Object> objects is now possible via the L<Storable> module (L<Data::Dumper> still does the wrong thing, but there is nothing I can do about that).

- =head1 1.03, 24 Jan 2003

- fixed overload related bug
