**    Note this is a MAJOR release that may have incompatibilities with
      earlier versions, although I've attempted to minimize problems.
      Please email any problems to the author.

**    Verilog::SigParser has been completely rewritten.  The good news is
      it understands almost the entire Verilog 2005 language.  The bad
      news is there are minor incompatibilities with previous versions,
      and the parser now errors out when it does not understand something
      rather than ignoring it.

      instead of "pin###" if connecting by position instead of by name.

***   Added Verilog::SigParser->signal_decl callback argument with
      initial values of parameters and wires. [Mark Nodine]

**    Verilog::Parser has been replaced with the front end of the
      SigParser.  The preproc and syscall callbacks were added

***   Require call to Verilog::Parser->eof() at the end of all parsers.

***   Changed Verilog::Parser->unreadback() method to not clear state.
      You must now call unreadback('') to clear the unreadback characters.

***   The long depreciated Verilog::Parse module has been removed.

****  Fixed Verilog::Parser mis-parsing spaces in numbers, #27070.

****  Fixed Verilog::SigParser #26141, #26940, #26968, #26969,
      #26970, #26972, #26997, #27009, #27010, #27013,
      #27036, #27037, #27039, #27045, #27062, #27066,

***   Added new Verilog-Perl.pod documentation overview.

      This avoids conflict with SystemVerilog $error function.  [Tad Truex]

***   Add include_open_nonfatal option to Preproc and Netlist.  [Eric Miller]

**    Added vrename --keywords and recursion on directory arguments.

***   Added to SigParser::module callback "$in_celldefine" 4th argument.
      Netlist::File sets $module->is_libcell() either if the file is a
      library or the module is within "`celldefine ... `endcelldefine".

***   Added to Verilog::Netlist (metacomment=>{ firstWord=>val, ... })

      true value in %metacomment.

***   Module::attrs_sorted() now returns a list of "category name[ =]..."
      strings from metacomments between "module" and the first declaration.

**    Vpm has been changed to use Verilog standard flags.
      Vpm will no longer recurse all directories, instead it now accepts

* Verilog-Perl 2.212 2002-08-30

***   Fix pin concatenations to not create false pins. [Kenneth Jiang]
      Concatenations are now just ignored; there is still no way to track
      pin interconnects where different bus bits end up interconnected
      differently.


* Verilog-Perl 2.211 2002-08-19

***   If Verilog::Getopt list accessors are passed a reference,
      set the entire list to the reference, rather than adding a element.
