A couple of years ago, I wrote a review of Algorithm::Diff, as it stood at that time. Since then, tye has taken over maintenance of the module, and made significant changes to its interface (see Algorithm::Diff icult to use for some discussion).

Yesterday I had a chance to use the module with its new interface for the first time. I'd like to update my review with information about the changes, but I don't really like the idea of tacking on an update at the bottom (the interface changes are significant, and deserve to be mentioned higher up in the writeup). Should I just replace most of the node, and add an explanation? I suppose I could post a reply, but that doesn't seem like a good solution either.

Any suggestions on clobber versus add-on?

Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.
