+. Description:
+
+       Version 1.0.5.
+
+       Documented that store() and retrieve() can return undef.
+       That is, the error reporting is not always made via exceptions,
+       as the paragraph on error reporting was implying.
+
+       Auto requires module of blessed ref when STORABLE_thaw misses.
+       When the Storable engine looks for the STORABLE_thaw hook and
+       does not find it, it now tries to require the package into which
+       the blessed reference is.
+
+       Just check $^O, in t/lock.t: there's no need to pull the whole
+       Config module for that.
