Revision history for App-FileSync

	[ Bug Fixes ]
        - Build: test on Windows with Perl 5.42 again.  Its B::Hooks::EndOfScope
          faults at exit, so the plain-Perl hook is used there.
        - filesync, filesync-server and filesync-admin select that hook for
          themselves on 5.42 for Windows, so it no longer has to be set to run
          them; an implementation already in the environment is left alone.
          A test checks the choice in a child process that starts without the
          variable.
        - Security: an ssh server of the form "-v@host" (or a program name
          starting with "-") is refused; it was passed to ssh as an option.
        - Security: client and repo names that are not plain ids ("../x",
          over 64 characters) are refused by the server, admin and client.
        - Server: a conflict copy is kept under the planned name whether or
          not the client names it, and any other name is refused; acks are
          accepted only for actions the client applies; get validates its
          offset and caps its size; an upload larger than announced is
          refused and discarded.
        - Ignore: building a matcher no longer modifies the caller's pattern
          list (which turned "!keep.tmp" into "keep.tmp" and could delete the
          file remotely); "/top" anchors to the root; "build/" matches at any
          depth.
        - Trash: same-day versions sort numerically and are no longer capped
          at .99.  Each client repo has its own local trash; restore still
          finds files in the old shared one.
        - Admin: journal_read works when the server root contains spaces.
        - All messages come from a catalogue (App::FileSync::I18N::en) and can
          be translated; errors no longer show Perl file and line numbers
          unless FILESYNC_TRACE is set.
        - Internals: new Args, Base, Constants, I18N, IO and Platform modules;
          private subs are enforced with Sub::Private; full POD.
        - Removed the unused POSIX and Encode prerequisites.
        - Build: requires Perl 5.14; declares ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.64 as a
          configure prerequisite so test prerequisites are honoured; the
          gzip and (on macOS) gtar dist settings are now actually applied;
          t/ and xt/ are not indexed; bug tracker link added.
        - $VERSION is a version object (version->declare), so every tool
          reads 0.001.1 as the dotted version v0.1.1.
        - Every module and program carries the same GPL v2 licence notice.
