-| PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY
-|
-| 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.
+| Storable is distributed as a module, but is also part of the official
+| Perl core distribution, as of perl 5.8.
+| Maintenance is now done by the perl5-porters. We thank Raphael
+| Manfredi for providing us with this very useful module.
