        [API Enhancements]
        - Added new flexible render() method supporting customizable parameters:
          - format (e.g., png, svg, pdf, dot, gv).
          - driver (e.g., neato, fdp).
          - output_file path (with automatic naming fallback if set to undef).
          - base64 boolean encoding.
          - line_name (optional positional or named parameter).
        - The output file name fallback for single lines now includes the map
          name, too.
        - The output file name fallback is cleaned from non-word characters,
          making file names more readable and preventing clobbering of files
          outside the current folder even for (hypothetical) malicious tube maps.
        - Refactored existing methods as_png() and as_image() to act as
          clean, modern wrappers around render().
        - Added metadata querying methods list_drivers() and list_formats()
          to list GraphViz capabilities.
        - Added helper get_graphviz_supported() using IPC::Run3 and File::Which
          to introspect local dot binaries.

        [Prerequisites]
        - Bumped minimum Perl requirement to v5.14.
        - Added dependency on File::Which and IPC::Run3 (which have always
          been required implicitly, because GraphViz2 requires them).
        - Removed direct usage of Data::Dumper.

        [Test Suite]
        - Reorganised and expanded the test suite into modular scripts under t/:
          - t/01-render.t: Comprehensive unit coverage for the new render()
            parameters, drivers, and output file behavior.
          - t/02-as_image.t: Modernised verification of base64 PNG rendering.
          - t/03-as_png.t: Validation of raw binary output formatting.
          - t/04-as_graph.t: Isolated validation of graph representations.
          - t/05-graphviz-meta.t: Verification of GraphViz introspection features.
          - t/06-unusual-station-name.t: Cleaned up version of station name
            parsing using the new render() implementation.
        - Removed deprecated monolithic test files t/as_image.t and
          t/unusual-station-name.t.

        [Others]
        - Updated README file.

v1.0.0  2026-07-10
        - The function as_graph() now takes into account the data regarding
          the per-link line restrictions from the class Map::Tube (see
          version 5.1.0 of Map::Tube); that is, the method now is able to
          figure out which lines an edge belongs to. Until now an edge was
          created for each line that the two stations had in common despite
          the fact that the physical link did not go through all those lines
          in one direction which caused the two-way edges to be created for
          a link that was actually one-directed.
          The function as_graph() previously created a directed graph for
          each link defined in the link object, therefore, no changes to the
          graph structure is required, however, now the processing of the
          link restrictions means that no edges are created for lines that
          are blocked in one direction, thus allowing for the creation of
          one-directional edges rather than a loop. Thanks @gws.
        - Corrected graph_line_image() (used by as_image($line)/as_png($line),
          for instance, map-tube --gen --line X) misrepresenting stations
          that cannot be reached at all from the chosen line.
          The "which of the off-line stations to include for reference"
          calculation employed Graph's neighbours_by_radius(), which for
          directed graphs counts both successors AND predecessors as
          neighbours. So any station connected via a one-way connection to
          one of the line's station (but no way back) would be included even
          if it is currently impossible to reach the station by means of the
          line. It would be depicted as a completely isolated node not
          having any edges at all as all its (one-way) edges don't lead in
          the necessary direction. Now only the successors of the line's
          station are considered, thus keeping the picture true to
          reality. Thanks @gws.

        accidentally broken in 0.46. Thanks @gws.

0.46  2025-02-18T23:20:00+00:00
      - Updated method as_graph() to take station id and not name
        when preparing data for Graphviz to avoid case when name
        contains something like ":" and throw error on map generation.
