+L<base> has been upgraded from version 2.17 to version 2.18.
+
+C<base> no longer sets a module's C<$VERSION> to "-1" when a module it loads
+does not define a C<$VERSION>.  This change has been made because "-1" is not
+a valid version number under the new "lax" criteria used internally by
+C<UNIVERSAL::VERSION>.  (See L<versioN> for more on "lax" version criteria.)
+
+C<base> no longer internally skips loading modules it has already loaded and
+instead relies on C<require> to inspect C<%INC>.  This fixes a bug when C<base>
+is used with code that clear C<%INC> to force a module to be reloaded.
