Sereal 4.006 does not export read_sereal and decode_sereal in contrast to the documentation

[ppisar]

Sereal 4.006 stopped exporting read_sereal and decode_sereal symbols although it still documents them in the POD:

=head1 NAME

Sereal - Fast, compact, powerful binary (de-)serialization

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Sereal qw(
      get_sereal_decoder
      get_sereal_encoder
      clear_sereal_object_cache
      encode_sereal
      decode_sereal
      write_sereal
      read_sereal

$ perl -Ilib -e 'use Sereal qw(read_sereal);'
"read_sereal" is not exported by the Sereal module
Can't continue after import errors at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

This used to work in 4.005:

[test@fedora-31 Sereal-4.005]$ perl -Ilib -e 'use Sereal qw(read_sereal);'

Is the removal of the export intentional? If it is, the documentation should be updated. By the way, this is an API breaking change and it should be properly documented in the Changes file that's missing any entry for 4.006.

No, it was a daft mistake. Thank you so much for catching it and reporting it so quickly. I will roll a release shortly, right after I add tests to make sure all these exports work as intended. Thanks a lot. Really. Yves

This should be fixed in v4.007 Thanks! Yves

I confirm 4.007 fixed this issue.
