What bug was fixed I have no idea. I have only a hazy recollection of

So it doesn't tell me anything useful at all.
On the other hand, for me, 1.5.4 versus 1.5.2 does tell me something
useful.
...about your own software? What about the rest of us who might use it? Does
each copy come with a chunk of your brain matter so I know what versions mean
to you?
Or you could just not give a rat's ass about the rest of us, that's perfectly
acceptable. :)
If a script worked on 1.5.2, it will work on 1.5.4 and it's supposed to
work on 1.6, and unless you hit a bug fixed in 1.5.2 it'll work on 1.5.1
(that is, the API hasn't changed), but you bloody well better check the
man page before upgrading to 2.1.0 or using it on a system that only has
1.4.8 installed.
