Starting with 5.18 the "maintenance track" started at RCs or .0,
so go back in time and fix it up for the old versions back to 5.6.

  • This set of changes does not require a perldelta entry.

After looking in more detail, it seems that all the "important" versions (1.000, 2.000, 3.000, 4.000, 5.000, 5.001, 5.002, 5.003, 5.004) where "off" by one space character, probably to make them stand out. This stopped with 5.005.

I think the better solution it to make the .0 of all stable releases stand out in the same way.

Putting this into draft mode while I review the options.

My current thoughts:

  • expand the first column by two characters or so
  • move the RC before the stable .0 in the development branch
  • remove consecutive duplicate releaser names
  • make the stable .0 stand out (and because it's going to always be on its own line, the releaser name will always be written in full)

Changes:
- the .0 of the stable branch is at the beginning of the column,
  while all other version are indented one space to the right
- the "maintenance track" actually starts after the .0
  (so there is none yet for the 5.42 branch)
I double-checked Charles (CBAIL) backpan directory
to confirm that he indeed released 5.003 and 5.003_01.
