-|   The serialization format changed between 0.5 and 0.6, and the module
-|   is NOT backward compatible.  Think about it when upgrading from a
-|   pre-0.5@9 version -- images from versions 0.5@9 could still be read
-|   by 0.6, but have not been tested with 0.7.
-|
-|   The next release (0.8 or 1.0) will DROP support for pre-0.6 format.
-|
-|   The serialization format changed between 0.6 and 0.7, and the module
-|   is fully backward compatible, meaning 0.7 can read binary images from
-|   0.6, although it only generates new ones.  If you encounter a situation
-|   where  it is not AND can duplicate it via a small test case, please
-|   send it to me, along with a patch to fix the problem if you can.

+| whilst the perl5-porters ensure that no change to the Perl internals
