Some parts of what I wrote probably are not true. Other parts surely need more clarification. However, I think it's a good start.

I have studied test cases in t/class and documented what I found. Was surprised there isn't more attributes than :isa yet, but still left the space for the future attributes, as there's a lot of them in Corinna spec AFAIR.

This document should look much better now.

I think that doc looks good to start with. I'll try to merge it in for now and have a go at continuing to adjust and edit it as I go. Many thanks.

I think attempting to "merge" this PR exactly will probably break a lot of things due to the rebasing history, so I'll probably just cherrypick out that one commit that actually added the doc.

@leonerd no worries, I just rebased myself. Should be good to just merge now

Looks like it got cherry picked anyway - closing

v6.0.0 - 2024-07-10

 - Drop support for Perl 5.10.  podlators now requires Perl 5.12 or later.

 - podlators now uses semantic versioning for the package and module
   versions, with a v prefix to work with Perl's packaging system.

 - Pod::Man now translates all "-" characters in the input into *roff "\-"
   escapes (normally rendered as an ASCII hyphen-minus, U+002D) rather
   than using fragile heuristics to decide which characters represent true
   hyphens and which represent ASCII hyphen-minus.  The previous
   heuristics misrendered command names such as apt-get, causing search
   and cut-and-paste issues.  This change may cause line-break issues with
   long hyphenated phrases.  In cases where the intent is a true hyphen,
   consider using UTF-8 as the POD character set (declared with =encoding)
   and using true Unicode hyphens instead of the ASCII "-" character.

 - Pod::Man now disables the special *roff interpretation of "`" and "'"
   characters as paired quotes everywhere, not just in verbatim text, thus
   forcing them to be interpreted as the regular ASCII characters.  This
   also disables the use of "``" and "''" for paired double-quotes.  The
   rationale is similar to that for hyphens: there is no way to tell from
   the POD source that the special interpretation as quotes is intended.
   To produce paired typographic quotes in the output, use UTF-8 and
   Unicode paired quote characters.

 - Man page references in L<> that are detected as such by Pod::Simple are
   now always formatted as man page references even if our normal
   heuristic would not detect them.  This fixes the formatting of
   constructions such as @@RXVT_NAME@@Perl(3), which are used by packages
   that format a man page with POD and then substitute variables into it
   at build time.  Thanks to Marco Sirabella for the analysis and an
   initial patch.  (GitHub #21)

 - Add a workaround to Pod::Man to force persistent ragged-right
   justification under nroff with groff 1.23.0.  Thanks to Guillem Jover
   for the report and G. Branden Robinson for the analysis.  (GitHub Perl#23)

 - Fix wrapping of text with S<> markup in all subclasses of Pod::Text.
   Thanks to Jim Avera for the report.  (GitHub #24)

 - Pod::Man now forces a blank line after a nested list contains only
   =item tags without bodies.  In previous versions, the blank line before
   the next item in the surrounding =over block was not included.  Thanks
   to Julien ÉLIE for the report.  (GitHub #26)

 - Import PerlIO before checking for layers so that PerlIO::F_UTF8 is
   available, which fixes double-encoding of output when a :utf8 layer is
   in place and PerlIO is not imported.  Thanks to youpong for the bug
   report, James Keenan for the elaboration, and Graham Knop for the fix.
   (GitHub #25)

 - pod2text --help now exits with status 0, not 1, matching normal UNIX
   command behavior and the behavior of pod2man.  (GitHub #19)

 - Fix tests when NO_COLOR is set in the environment.  (GitHub #20)

v6.0.1 - 2024-07-12

 - Remove autodie from the module build process.  When built as part of
   Perl core, podlators is built before autodie is available.  Thanks to
   James E Keenan for the report and a draft patch.  (GitHub Perl#33)

v6.0.2 - 2024-07-14

 - Fix removal of scripts/pod2man and scripts/pod2text by make realclean,
   broken in the v6.0.0 release.  Thanks to James E Keenan for the report.
