  ## 2022 06 13
      - No significant bugs have been found since the last release but users
        of programs which call the Perl::Tidy module should note the first
        item below, which changes a default setting.  The main change to
        existing formatting is the second item below, which adds vertical
        alignment to 'use' statements.
      - The flag --encode-output-strings, or -eos, is now set 'on' by default.
        This has no effect on the use of the 'perltidy' binary script, but could
        change the behavior of some programs which use the Perl::Tidy module on
        files encoded in UTF-8.  If any problems are noticed, an emergency fix
        can be made by reverting to the old default by setting -neos.  For
        an explanation of why this change needs to be made see:
        https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/issues/92
        https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/blob/master/docs/eos_flag.md
      - Added vertical alignment for qw quotes and empty parens in 'use'
        statements (see issue #git 93).  This new alignment is 'on' by default
        and will change formatting as shown below. If this is not wanted it can
        be turned off with the parameter -vxl='q' (--valign-exclude-list='q').
          # old default, or -vxl='q'
          use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptions);
          use Fcntl qw(O_RDONLY O_WRONLY O_EXCL O_CREAT);
          use Symbol qw(gensym);
          use Exporter ();
          # new default
          use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptions);
          use Fcntl        qw(O_RDONLY O_WRONLY O_EXCL O_CREAT);
          use Symbol       qw(gensym);
          use Exporter     ();
      - The parameter -kbb (--keep-break-before) now ignores a request to break
        before an opening token, such as '('.  Likewise, -kba (--keep-break-after)
        now ignores a request to break after a closing token, such as ')'. This
        change was made to avoid a rare instability discovered in random testing.
      - Previously, if a -dsc command was used to delete all side comments,
        then any special side comments for controlling non-indenting braces got
        deleted too. Now, these control side comments are retained when -dsc is
        set unless a -nnib (--nonon-indenting-braces) flag is also set to
        deactivate them.
      - This version runs about 10 percent faster on large files than the previous
        release due to optimizations made with the help of Devel::NYTProf.  Much
        of the gain came from faster processing of blank tokens and comments.
      - This version of perltidy was stress-tested for many cpu hours with
        random input parameters. No failures to converge, internal fault checks,
        undefined variable references or other irregularities were seen.
