17 | New Features |
18 | * The new "package NAME VERSION" syntax from 5.11 is now supported by |
19 | parse_version() and thus VERSION_FROM. The first version declaration, |
20 | package or $VERSION, is used. (David Golden) |

24 | Feature Changes |
25 | * PREFIX now applies to relative directories. This is a change since |
26 | 6.20 when they were ignored. Its necessary for relocatable Perls. |
27 | |

33 | 6.55_01 Tue Jul 14 15:53:30 PDT 2009 |
34 | Test Fixes |
35 | * The tests got a bit overzealous and removed the LIB environment variable |
36 | while is necessary for some compilers to work. [rt.cpan.org 47722] |
37 | (Jan Dubois) |
38 | * Another fix for arch_check() on Windows changing how we normalize |
39 | long and short filenames. [rt.cpan.org 47723] (Jan Dubois) |
40 | |
41 | New Features |
42 | * BUILD_REQUIRES is added, similar to PREREQ_PM but for modules which |
43 | are necessary to build, but not run, your module. (Alexandr Ciornii) |

52 | 6.53_03 Thu Jul 2 14:47:45 PDT 2009 |
53 | Bug Fixes |
54 | * You'd get a warning if you had a PREREQ_PM on a module with no $VERSION |
55 | like Config (broken in 6.51_01) [rt.cpan.org 47448] |
56 | |
57 | Test Fixes |
58 | * Upgrade the version of Test::More we ship with to 0.88. |
59 | * Fix MM_Cygwin.t for older Perls missing Cygwin::win_to_posix_path() |
60 | broken in 6.53_01. |
61 | * Fix miniperl.t for Windows. Our method of shutting off XS didn't |
62 | work for Win32.pm |
63 | * Old versions of version.pm, like what ships with OS X, dent Foo->VERSION |
64 | causing prereq.t to fail. [rt.cpan.org 47296] |
65 | * Add missing core test boilerplates |

78 | 6.53_01 Sun Jun 7 19:02:20 PDT 2009 |
79 | Bug Fixes |
80 | * blib will now be rebuilt if the Makefile is changed |
81 | [rt.cpan.org 46658] |
82 | * 6.52 broke the setting of EXTRALIBS, LDLOADLIBS and BSLOADLIBS |
83 | when $self->{LIBS}[0] is undefined. |
84 | [rt.cpan.org 46633] (Craig Berry) |
85 | |
86 | Cygwin |
87 | * Fixed MM_Cygwin.t when the path prefix (ie. cygdrive) has been |
88 | changed by the user. [rt.cpan.org 46585] (JDHEDDEN) |
89 | |
90 | VMS |
91 | * Removed attempts to compensate for the "bin" logical added |
92 | by some versions of GNV, Craig says they're futile. |
93 | Put a warning into the Makefile.PL instead. |
94 | [rt.cpan.org 46679] (Craig Berry) |
95 | * Removed the arch_check() special case for VMS. |
96 | [rt.cpan.org 46678] (Craig Berry) |
97 | |
98 | Win32 |
99 | * Restore building the core by not trying to load the Win32 |
100 | module in arch_check() with miniperl. |
101 | [rt.cpan.org 46667] (Max Maischein) |
102 | |
103 | Tests |
104 | * Forgot to get rid of the tests for bytes and vmsish |
105 | which were removed in 6.51_01. |
106 | * Stopped running a Windows specific arch_check.t test |
107 | on non-Windows. (Craig Berry) |

132 | 6.51_02 Mon Apr 13 21:19:56 PDT 2009 |
133 | Bug Fixes |
134 | * Fix a minor bug with the new PERM_DIR stuff which caused EUI to think |
135 | PERM_DIR was an install skip file. |
136 | * A Win32 function call in the last alpha broke Win32 builds. |
137 | |
138 | |
139 | 6.51_01 Fri Apr 10 14:30:27 PDT 2009 |
140 | New Features |

142 | Man pages will just not be installed. |
143 | [rt.cpan.org 43546] (Jesse Vincent) |
144 | * vim swap files, *.swp, will now be ignored by MakeMaker. |
145 | * Added PERM_DIR to control permissions on directories. |
146 | [rt.cpan.org 3927] (Rajesh Mandalemula) |
147 | |
148 | Feature Changes |
149 | * Modules in PREREQ_PM are no longer loaded in order to figure out |
150 | their version. parse_version() is used instead. |
151 | [rt.cpan.org 44646] |
152 | * PPD files generated with "make ppd" now use the new REQUIRES key |
153 | rather than the now deprecated DEPENDENCY. |
154 | [rt.cpan.org 25179] (GAAS) |
155 | * PPD files no longer contain the deprecated OS tag. |
156 | * fixin is a bit less restrictive allowing things like |
157 | #!perl5.8.8 and #!perl-debug [rt.cpan.org 29442] |
158 | * Remove the unused perm_rw() and perm_rwx() methods. |
159 | |
160 | Bug Fixes |
161 | * On 5.10 "make ppd" would generate the wrong ARCHITECTURE saying the |
162 | version is 5.1 instead of 5.10. |
163 | * Our pod2man emulation now requires an argument to --perm_rw. |
164 | [rt.cpan.org 35190] (imacat) |
165 | * DISTVNAME was documented as a WriteMakefile() param but you'd |
166 | get a warning if you tried to use it. [rt.cpan.org 43217] |
167 | * Better support for parallel make installs. |
168 | [rt.cpan.org 32758] (Brendan O'Dea) |
169 | * parse_version() will now skip uses of $VERSION in conditions |
170 | [rt.cpan.org 9452] (jc@unser.net) |
171 | * The architecture mismatch warning could show up on Win32 due |
172 | to long vs short filenames being used to compare. |
173 | [rt.cpan.org 33532] (DAGOLDEN) |
174 | * maybe_command() will recognize Windows executables in |
175 | /cygdrive on Cygwin [rt.cpan.org 16375] (PJF) |
176 | * parse_version() will now look for the first use of $VERSION |
177 | that results in $VERSION being set. |
178 | |
179 | Test Fixes |
180 | * basic.t will not leave a "bin" environment variable defined on VMS. |
181 | [rt.cpan.org 42150] (John E. Malmberg) |
182 | * Made the tests work ok on systems whose makes assume that files which |
183 | have the same mod time are out of date. This is often the case for |
184 | the tests which generate files and run make rapidly. |
185 | [rt.cpan.org 29955] (Ken Hirsch) |
186 | * skip test numbers were wrong on VMS in t/basic.t |
187 | [rt.cpan.org 43511] (John E. Malmberg) |
188 | |
189 | Portability |
190 | * Removed a few hard coded uses of the "false" command. |
191 | [rt.cpan.org 44504] |
192 | |
193 | VMS |
194 | * Fixed a few calls to catfile() that should be catdir(). |
195 | (John E. Malmberg) |
196 | * Override catdir() and catfile() to expand macros. This is normally done |
197 | inside File::Spec::VMS but is really a MakeMaker-only thing. |
198 | (John E. Malmberg) |
199 | |
200 | Other |
201 | * Remove ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes and vmsish which are unused and |
202 | seem to never have been used. |
203 | * Repository now on github. |
204 | |
205 | |
206 | 6.50 Sun Mar 22 12:28:06 PDT 2009 |
207 | Windows |
208 | * Remove the special checks for compilers that need a "manifest". Instead, |
209 | the code will just be a no-op if there's no manifest. Or something. |
210 | I dunno, I'm hoping Jan and Steve know what they're doing. |

244 | |
245 | |
246 | 6.47_01 Tue Oct 14 12:38:05 EDT 2008 |
247 | New Features |
248 | * Added optional parameter MIN_PERL_VERSION, to define minimal |
249 | required perl version for dependency checks and to pass on to |
250 | META.yml and ppd files. [rt.cpan.org 28374] |
251 | Thanks to David Golden, Alexandr Ciornii (chorny) and Martin Becker |

257 | Test Fixes |
258 | - Small fix for VOS from Paul Green [bleadperl@33259] |
259 | |
260 | Other |
261 | * $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Revision, $ExtUtils::MM_Unix::Revision and |
262 | $ExtUtils::MM_VMS::Revision are all now based on $VERSION. You |
263 | shouldn't be using them for anything anyway. |

279 | |
280 | |
281 | 6.45_01 Sat Sep 6 03:19:03 PDT 2008 |
282 | New Features |
283 | * META_ADD and META_MERGE have been added to manipulate the META.yml. |
284 | Thanks to Adriano Ferreira. [rt.cpan.org 21282] |
285 | - META.yml now includes configure_requires ExtUtils::MakeMaker by |
286 | default. [rt.cpan.org 32337] |
287 | - META.yml now excludes t/ and inc/ from indexing by default. |
288 | - META.yml license is now "unknown" instead of undef if a LICENSE is not |
289 | given. |
290 | - META.yml now conforms to version 1.4 of the spec. |
291 | |
292 | Bug Fixes |
293 | - Make @MM_Sections and @Overridable global again. It's an undocumented |
294 | but used way to manipulate MakeMaker behavior. [rt.cpan.org 36047] |
295 | |
296 | Portability |
297 | * Changed the name/dmake test in MM_Win32.pm to use regexs to that |
298 | they are able to handle Perl on a Stick absolute paths. |
299 | |
300 | |
301 | 6.44 Thu Feb 28 16:06:04 PST 2008 |
302 | Bug Fixes |
303 | * Updated bundled ExtUtils::Install to 1.45 which should fix some |
304 | Cygwin issues. [rt.cpan.org 33291] |

a592ba15 |
307 | 6.43_01 Tue Jan 1 16:06:47 PST 2008 |
308 | Bug Fixes |
309 | * Change the "is this really a Perl core library directory" checks to |
310 | look for strict instead of Exporter. Now that Exporter is on CPAN |
311 | it can wind up in site_perl. |
312 | * split_command() will now set aside a little more space for macro |
313 | expansion. This should help on systems with cramped command line |
314 | lengths. Specifically, Pugs on Win32. [rt.cpan.org 20145] |
315 | |
316 | Installation |
317 | * MakeMaker would not install if the installed MakeMaker was too old, |
318 | like on 5.6.1. The installation process was still using the |
319 | installed MakeMaker in a few places. This has been fixed. |
320 | [rt.cpan.org 24746] |
321 | |
322 | OS X |
323 | * "make dist" will no longer bundle up resource fork files (._foo). |
324 | [rt.cpan.org 29525] |
325 | |
326 | Docs |
327 | * The documentation of VERSION_FROM was recommending vstrings (1.2.3) |
328 | which have never worked right. |
329 | * The documentation for the accepted values of LICENSE moved to |
330 | Module::Build::API. [rt.cpan.org 32020] |
331 | |
332 | Tests |
333 | * The compilation test was testing the installed modules, not the |
334 | about-to-be-installed. |
335 | * xs.t would fail if ExtUtils::CBuilder was not installed. |
336 | |
337 | Misc |
338 | * Cleanups brought to you by no more 5.5 compatibility! |
339 | * MakeMaker is now perlcritic clean at severity level 5... except |
340 | the really silly ones. |
341 | * DIE use vars DIE! |
342 | * Added some resources to the META.yml |
343 | |

344 | 6.42 Fri Dec 7 17:00:14 PST 2007 |
345 | Bug Fixes |
346 | - 6.33 moved PREREQ_FATAL to happen after CONFIGURE. This meant if |
347 | your CONFIGURE use a prereq it would fail and no PREREQ_FATAL |
348 | message would be displayed. |
349 | - Put the "nicetext" functionality back, VMS needs it to deal with |
350 | other people's custom make. But rename it to the more |
351 | accurate maketext_filter(), test it and fix a bug where it would |
352 | stop processing if it saw a macro declaration. |
353 | |

354 | 6.40 Thu Dec 6 03:00:47 PST 2007 |
355 | Bug Fixes |
356 | - Remove the dubious nicetext() Makefile formatting hack to account for |
357 | a lack of space between the target and colon needed on VMS. This |
358 | interfered with META.yml creation on VMS and possibly other output. |
359 | - Fix the remaining targets which don't have a space between the target |
360 | and the colon. |

365 | 6.37_03 Mon Nov 26 14:15:34 PST 2007 |
366 | Tests |
367 | - parse_version.t had wrong test count when version.pm isn't installed. |
368 | - Fixed some warnings in the XS module we're using for testing. |
369 | - "our $VERSION" test in parse_version.t was never running |
370 | - Quoting uses of 1.2.3 style versions in parse_version.t to protect |
371 | older perls. |

382 | |
383 | 6.37_01 Sun Nov 25 17:05:53 PST 2007 |
384 | Improvements |
385 | - Upgraded the META.yml to version 1.3 of the spec (which really |
386 | doesn't change anything). Thanks bdfoy. |
387 | - MakeMaker now always includes the required 'author' field in |
388 | the META.yml even if it's undef to comply with the META.yml spec. |
389 | - Updated ExtUtils-Install to latest version (1.44) |
390 | - Unified the version numbers of all modules. |
391 | |
392 | Test Fixes |
393 | - cd() test on VMS used non-native paths. [bleadperl 31534] |
394 | - Removed uses of "no_plan" in tests to remain compatible with |
395 | old versions of Test::Harness. |
396 | - writemakefile_args.t had the wrong test count if version.pm isn't |
397 | installed. |
398 | |
399 | Bug Fixes |
400 | - $VERSION detection code would be confused by "sub version" |
401 | [rt.cpan.org 30747] |
402 | - LINKTYPE=static will now be propagated to child builds. |

411 | 6.36 Tue Jul 3 01:06:40 PDT 2007 |
412 | Test Fixes |
413 | - version.pm prior to 0.7203 caused Foo->VERSION to reformat |
414 | $Foo::VERSION. This caused prereq.t to fail. |
415 | |
416 | 6.35 Sun Jul 1 20:53:38 PDT 2007 |
417 | New Features |
418 | * MakeMaker will now try to "use version" before parsing $VERSION. |
419 | This allows "$VERSION = qv(1.2.3)" to work. |
420 | |
421 | Test Fixes |
422 | - writemakefile_args.t now works with older versions of version.pm |
423 | |

436 | - fixin() no longer clobbers $/ [rt.cpan.org 26234] |
437 | - Fixed bug finding cross-compiled perls [bleadperl 31404] |
438 | - Looking up to 8 levels up to find uninstalled perls |
439 | [bleadperl 30932] |
440 | * A test failure in a sub-project would not cause "make test" to |
441 | fail. [rt.cpan.org 27804] |
442 | |
443 | Windows |
444 | - Embed manifest files in EXEs and DLLs when building with VC++ 8.x |
445 | [bleadperl #29266] [rt.cpan.org 26208] |
446 | - Improved the subdir command code so DIR can do more than one level |
447 | down. [rt.cpan.org 25180] |
448 | - Fix static builds on Win32 by using -DPERLDLL [bleadperl 31229] |
449 | |
450 | VMS |
451 | - Use linker flags rather than compiler flags to determine if the |
452 | perl sharable image was linked debug. This keeps OPTIMIZE from |
453 | confusing things. [rt.cpan.org 25268] |
454 | - Accidental use of $\ in a regex. [bleadperl 30521] |
455 | |
456 | BSD |
457 | - If calling perl causes MakeMaker to emit warnings, then it |
458 | cannot find the location of its binary. [rt.cpan.org 23178] |
459 | |
460 | Doc Improvements |
461 | - Typo fixes. $(TOUNIX) -> $(TO_UNIX). [rt.cpan.org 23495] |
462 | - The example for setting $VERSION from $Revision$ in SVN was |
463 | incorrect. (Thanks to ROBERTMAY@cpan.org) [rt.cpan.org 26995] |
464 | - Document what's wrong with PREFIX and what to use instead. |
465 | [rt.cpan.org 12919] |
466 | - Improve the PREREQ_FATAL docs to make it really clear that you |
467 | do NOT want to use this! |
468 | |
469 | Misc |
470 | - Provide information during the install about whether we're using the |
471 | installed or provided dependency (ie. ExtUtils::Command). |
472 | - Updated included versions of ExtUtils::Manifest and Command. |
473 | - Add .bak and .old to veryclean [rt.cpan.org 21284] |
474 | - Improved the PREREQ_FATAL message. |
475 | |
476 | 6.32 Wed Feb 21 07:59:57 PST 2007 |
477 | New Features |
478 | - WriteEmptyMakefile() is now exportable upon request. |
479 | |
480 | Bug Fixes |
481 | - Set binmode() when writing to files in Command.t for operating |
482 | systems which need that sort of thing. [bleadperl #29578] |
483 | - Fixed a minor duplication in manifypod_target(). [rt.cpan.org 22149] |
484 | |
485 | Test Fixes |
486 | - The build_man.t test would fail if your Perl is configured to not |
487 | generate man pages ($Config{installman3dir} is set to none). |
488 | |
489 | Doc Improvements |
490 | - Made the home dir install examples a little more friendly to non-Unix |
491 | folks. |
492 | |
493 | Misc |
494 | - miniperl no longer has the Win32 functions. |
495 | - Turn on "use strict" where it was missing. |
496 | |
562c8117 |
497 | 6.31 Mon Oct 9 16:54:47 PDT 2006 |
498 | - Update our META.yml to version 1.2 of the spec. |
499 | * Update the SEE ALSO to mention Module::Build, Module::Install, |
500 | ExtUtils::ModuleMaker and Module::Starter. |
501 | - Fix ARCHITECTURE tag in PPD generation for 5.8 (patch taken from |
502 | ActiveState 819). [rt.cpan.org 20566] |
503 | * Bring ExtUtils::Manifest up to 1.48 |
504 | |
58d32538 |
505 | 6.30_04 Mon Sep 11 16:14:06 EDT 2006 |
506 | - EXTRA_META has been undocumented as I don't like the way the |
507 | interface works but I don't want to hold up 6.31. It will be |
508 | replaced with something better next version. |
509 | - Added explaination of distclean behavior and instructions on how to |
510 | blow away anything not in the MANIFEST to the FAQ. |
511 | * 6.30_01 broke overrides of PM. MakeMaker would add to a user |
512 | suplied PM rather than simply accepting it. |
513 | * Document INSTALL_BASE. |
514 | * Added "How do I install a module into my home directory?" to the FAQ |
515 | * Added "How do I get MakeMaker and Module::Build to install to the |
516 | same place?" |
517 | - Moving ExtUtils::Mksymlists and ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap back into |
518 | lib/ because no independent distribution has taken them over. |
519 | |
520 | 6.30_03 Fri Sep 1 17:03:11 EDT 2006 |
521 | - Minor fix to Command.t for Win32. |
522 | |
523 | 6.30_02 Fri Sep 1 15:03:55 EDT 2006 |
524 | - Updated to ExtUtils::Install 1.41 |
525 | * Won't scan for and build man pages when MAN3PODS is deliberately set |
526 | empty. |
527 | - Minor VMS fixes. [bleadperl@26813] |
528 | - VMS->one_liner must quote "--" argument. [bleadperl@27613] |
529 | * Split INSTALLSCRIPT into INSTALLSCRIPT, INSTALLSITESCRIPT and |
530 | INSTALLVENDORSCRIPT so it now honors INSTALLDIRS. [bleadperl@26536] |
531 | - Minor fix to work with Pod::man 2.04. [bleadperl@26457] |
532 | - $Revision was broken. |
533 | - Updated our internal version of Test::More to catch a few warnings. |
534 | - ExtUtils::Command::test_f() test was broken. |
535 | - Clarified that test_f() exits. |
536 | |
2977d345 |
537 | 6.30_01 Tue Aug 16 23:53:27 PDT 2005 |
538 | * Fixed compiling modules using an uninstalled Perl on Win32 by using |
539 | the proper perl header location for Windows (which is different from |
540 | Unix). Looks like a very old bug. [bugs.perl.org 36128] |
541 | - $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Revision accidentally left in a stray "Revision". |
542 | [thanks pdx.pm for noticing this] |
543 | - Fixed the $VERSION = $Revision$ example in the MakeMaker docs and the |
544 | FAQ. [thanks again, pdx.pm] |
545 | - Elaborated on the differences between CVS, SVN and others when using |
546 | $Revision$ based $VERSIONs. |
547 | * ExtUtils::Command, ExtUtils::Install, ExtUtils::Manifest, |
548 | ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap, ExtUtils::Mksymlists and ExtUtils::Packlist |
549 | are all now considered to be separate distributions. To avoid a |
550 | circular dependency, MakeMaker distributes its own versions but CPAN |
551 | should not index them and they will not overwrite a newer, installed |
552 | version. |
553 | * Added EXTRA_META option to allow module authors to append extra |
554 | text to the generated META.yml. |
555 | * Added a LICENSE field mirroring Module::Build's license. |
556 | * META.yml support updated to version 1.1. All required fields |
557 | now generated. (NOTE: 1.1 isn't yet complete but we're going with |
558 | it anyway. MakeMaker uses "author" instead of "authored_by" as its |
559 | expected the former will be used in 1.1 final). |
560 | * Non-conforming version_from and installdirs META.yml fields removed. |
561 | * META.yml distribution_type field now intelligent enough to guess at |
562 | the type rather than hard code 'module'. |
563 | * INSTALLBASE changed to INSTALL_BASE to match Module::Build. |
564 | * Added a MAKE parameter for Windows users to say if they're using |
565 | dmake or nmake. |
566 | |
4325052d |
567 | 6.30 Fri May 20 16:05:38 PDT 2005 |
568 | * PL_FILES behavior tweak again to restore old behavior. Sometimes its |
569 | supposed to run before pm_to_blib, sometimes after. |
570 | - Some tests shipped with 'no_plan' which will break on older |
571 | Test::Harness. |
572 | |
41e5fcb0 |
573 | 6.29 Thu May 19 14:15:21 PDT 2005 |
574 | * The behavior of PL_FILES is restored to its pre-6.26 behavior as several |
575 | CPAN modules depend on this. PL programs run via PL_FILES have |
576 | INST_LIB and INST_ARCH in their @INC and so can load any just built |
577 | modules. |
578 | - Now honors PERL_CORE environment variable. |
579 | - Testing to ensure FIRST_MAKEFILE is honored. |
580 | |
76ca89ed |
581 | 6.28 Tue Apr 12 16:17:07 PDT 2005 |
582 | - Fix realclean so it cleans up files installed from ext/ in the core |
583 | - Fix dir_target() so it doesn't warn should any of the INST_* paths |
584 | be the same (as with the ext/ modules in the core) |
585 | - Fix MANIFEST.SKIP so it skips not just _darcs/ but everything inside |
586 | it and any which happen to be in subdirs. |
587 | - MM_AIX forgot to import neatvalue() from E::MakeMaker. |
588 | (bleadperl@24185) |
589 | - Fixed a minor C<<>> POD nit (Scott Lanning) |
590 | |
7292dc67 |
591 | 6.27 Mon Apr 4 16:36:14 PDT 2005 |
592 | * Added _darcs to the list of revision control administrative |
593 | directories skipped both in libscan and in MANIFEST.SKIP. |
594 | |
595 | 6.26_01 Mon Mar 28 21:34:39 PST 2005 |
596 | * PL_FILES was broken in the last release. The .PL files were not being |
597 | passed the file they were to generate. |
598 | * How PL_FILES runs the programs and what it does with the value is |
599 | now documented. |
600 | * The default behavior of PL_FILES is now documented. |
601 | |
602 | 6.26 Mon Mar 21 20:36:22 PST 2005 |
603 | |
604 | 6.25_12 Fri Mar 18 16:15:35 PST 2005 |
605 | - Use the generic dmake search.cpan.org URL in the README so the newest |
606 | version is found. |
607 | - Fixed pm_to_blib trouble on VMS introduced in 6.25_10. |
608 | |
609 | 6.25_11 Tue Mar 15 02:00:20 PST 2005 |
610 | - Fixed minor parent class dependency loop in ExtUtils::MM_Any. |
611 | - Fixed a circular dependency on processed PL files introduced as part |
612 | of RT 6460 in 6.25_02. |
613 | |
614 | 6.25_10 Sun Mar 13 16:14:04 PST 2005 |
615 | - pm_to_blib.ts is gone, back to pm_to_blib (except on VMS). I |
616 | couldn't make it work and still retain backwards compatibility. |
617 | This fixes the recompilation problems that plagued _09 and various |
618 | previous alpha releases. |
619 | |
620 | 6.25_09 Sat Mar 12 10:10:34 PST 2005 |
621 | - Stubbing out PASTHRU on VMS. $(MMSQUALIFIERS) should do the equivalent |
622 | and better. |
623 | - Added test to check for the existence of a compiler so XS tests are |
624 | now possible. |
625 | |
626 | 6.25_08 Tue Feb 8 09:04:36 EST 2005 |
627 | - Fixing xsubpp on VMS. Had a foo/bar path in it. |
628 | - Turning XSUBPP into a runable command by the addition of PERLRUN |
629 | made it unusable as a dependency. Added XSUBPPRUN for that and left |
630 | XSUBPP alone. |
631 | - Removed DESTDIR from PASTHRU as install is not recursive and it can |
632 | make commands too long on VMS. |
633 | - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. Using |
634 | .exists files everywhere. |
635 | - Restore missing *.Opt clean on VMS. |
636 | - Fix .exists files accidentally getting caught in static builds. |
637 | - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. |
638 | - Add Interix support (bleadperl@33892) |
639 | - distsign target changed to distsignature to avoid clash with |
640 | Module::Install |
641 | |
642 | 6.25_07 Fri Dec 31 03:47:20 EST 2004 |
643 | - perllocal on VMS was inserting executables twice. |
644 | - No longer using $(IGNORE) macro. Turns out MMS/K was not honoring |
645 | it. Using "-$(NOECHO) command" which seems to make everybody happy. |
646 | - Executables with no extension weren't getting installed on VMS due to |
647 | a bug in rename(). Broken sometime in this series of alphas. |
648 | |
649 | 6.25_06 Sun Dec 26 17:21:37 EST 2004 |
650 | - Forgot to define BOOTDEP macro. |
651 | - .exists files are back. Directories cannot be used directly as |
652 | targets as their mod time changes too frequently. |
653 | * Added INSTALLBASE as an alternative to PREFIX but haven't documented |
654 | it yet. I'll do that next release. |
655 | |
656 | 6.25_05 Wed Dec 22 07:59:02 EST 2004 |
657 | - One of the 6.25 alphas broke BSD make. It doesn't like "- @ command". |
658 | Fixed by adding an $(IGNORE) macro. |
659 | - 6.25 alphas caused a Makefile to be added to the dist. Fixed. |
660 | - The new cd() code needed to be dependent on dmake or nmake for |
661 | Windows. Not Win9x vs WinNT/XP. |
662 | |
663 | 6.25_04 Tue Dec 21 00:53:06 EST 2004 |
664 | - 6.25_03 was always rebuilding XS modules. |
665 | |
666 | 6.25_03 Mon Dec 20 23:04:22 EST 2004 |
667 | - dir_target() is back. Now each directory to be created has its own |
668 | target like before, but no more .exists or blibdirs.ts files. This |
669 | ensures that each blib directory is created as necessary and fixes |
670 | things like SVN's perl bindings. |
671 | |
672 | 6.25_02 Mon Dec 20 03:31:49 EST 2004 |
673 | - Set PM_FILTER as late as possible so it can see all the earlier |
674 | macro definitions. Necessary for challenged make implementations |
675 | like nmake. Should fix Mail::SpamAssassin installs on Win32. |
676 | [rt.cpan.org 4545] |
677 | - clean and realclean are now more careful about accidentally deleting |
678 | directories instead of files. [rt.cpan.org 6851] |
679 | - small fix for parallel builds, make sure pm_to_blib has run before |
680 | we try to use stuff in blib. [rt.cpan.org 6460] |
681 | - MAKEFILE=foo appears to have been broken for recursive builds and |
682 | several other things. I think this was broken by 6.18. |
683 | |
684 | 6.25_01 Fri Dec 17 21:29:04 EST 2004 |
685 | * *.bak added to the default MANIFEST.SKIP. |
686 | * META.yml will no longer be generated in the build directory. It will |
687 | only appear in the distdir. This should make it easier on developers, |
688 | they don't have to worry about checking the file in all the time. |
689 | * Similarly, the SIGNATURE file will not be updated in the build |
690 | directory. It will only be generated in the distdir. |
691 | - A bunch of redundant Win9x and VMS code removed. |
692 | - 'make test' on Windows no longer pre-expands its list of test files. |
693 | This caused problems on large distributions like bioperl. Thanks to |
694 | Tim Bunce for suggesting the obvious fix. |
695 | |
5dca256e |
696 | 6.25 Wed Dec 15 06:59:46 EST 2004 |
697 | - Build.PL was being considered like Module_pm.PL. Build.PL is now |
698 | ignored. [radek@karnet.pl] [rt.cpan.org 8809] |
699 | - Devel::Cover cover_db/ directory now ignored by MANIFEST.SKIP |
700 | |
701 | 6.24_01 Thu Dec 9 00:44:48 EST 2004 |
702 | - Docs encouraged possibly insecure use of /tmp [CAN-2004-0976 via Debian] |
703 | - Remove empty rpath from .so files [bleadperl@23183] |
704 | - At long last the core man page title has its apostrophe. |
705 | - BeOS tests fixed [Ingo Weinhold] [perlbug #32717] |
706 | - Putting a pm_to_blib target back (alias of pm_to_blib.ts) in case |
707 | anyone was depending on it being there (mod_perl was). |
708 | |
709 | 6.24 Tue Nov 30 15:35:13 EST 2004 |
710 | - dir_target() was accidentally named dir_targets() causing problems |
711 | installing some Tk modules. |
712 | |
713 | 6.23 Fri Nov 26 16:01:50 EST 2004 |
714 | - MM_MacOS lost its $VERSION causing some CPAN indexing problems. Enough |
715 | people noticed this to warrant a quick release. |
716 | |
717 | 6.22 Tue Nov 23 22:22:22 EST 2004 |
718 | - Minor glitch in Command.t test on Win32 [thanks Steve Hay] |
719 | * Fixed MANIFEST.SKIP so it avoids all the new *.ts files. |
720 | - Don't spuriously define pasthru arguments |
721 | |
722 | 6.21_03 Sat Apr 3 2004 |
723 | - pm_to_blib and blibdirs stamp files now pm_to_blib.ts and blibdirs.ts |
724 | everywhere because some filesystems insist you have a dot in the |
725 | filename. This eliminates a bunch of special case code. |
03c94fc2 |
726 | - Minor potential glitch in the version check logic. |
727 | - Making Makefile rebuild logic more resistant to inconsequential |
728 | errors when cleaning up things that are going to be rebuilt anyway. |
729 | - Adding SCCS to the list of directories in MANIFEST.SKIP. |
5dca256e |
730 | * Fixing blibdirs so it doesn't rebuild every make run. |
731 | * Using a more conservative MAX_EXEC_LEN for Win98 to allow building |
03c94fc2 |
732 | large modules like Encode. [Greg Matheson] |
5dca256e |
733 | * test target mangled by dmake. Doesn't seem to like q{}. |
03c94fc2 |
734 | [Greg Matheson] |
735 | - instmodsh now using Archive::Tar to create archives if available. |
736 | [Slaven Rezic] |
737 | - instmodsh now using more portable tar flags to create archives. |
738 | [Slaven Rezic] |
739 | - Added FAQ entry for "How do I use a module without installing it?" |
740 | and "How do I keep from installing man pages?" [Joe Cromie] |
5dca256e |
741 | - Fixed finding the default MANIFEST.SKIP if its on a different volume |
742 | [Ilya Zakharevich] |
743 | - When building Perl, we had a chance of picking up the old installed |
744 | xsubpp from @INC [Andreas Koenig] |
745 | - makeaperl() now a bit more intellegent about ignoring perl libraries |
746 | not called libperl. [Ilya Zakharevich bleadperl@22032] |
747 | * MacOS Classic (MacPerl) is no longer supported. Please use |
748 | Module::Build instead. |
749 | * Restored pm_to_blib.ts so pm_to_blib generation will be quiessent on |
750 | VMS. [rt 4675] |
751 | - For simplicity, dir_target() is now a no-op. Should not effect any |
752 | existing uses. |
753 | - Converted utility commands from using $(PERLRUN) to $(ABSPERLRUN). |
754 | This allows distclean to work with SDBM_File. [rt 5616] |
755 | - realclean was using "rm -f" instead of "rm -rf" meaning directories |
756 | wouldn't be properly cleaned. Caused by bleadperl@7952. [rt 5208] |
757 | - fixpath() could undo wraplist() on VMS [rt 4955] |
758 | - ensure ExtUtils::Command::rm_f deletes all versions of a file on VMS |
759 | [rt 4687] |
760 | - hint.t generating improperly named hint files on OS's where $^O |
761 | contains a '.'. They should be converted to underscores. Test |
762 | mistake, not a bug. [rt 5365] |
763 | - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::chmod() so it will work on directories on |
764 | VMS. [rt 4676] |
765 | - parse_version.t was using no_plan causing trouble on older T::Hs. |
766 | [rt 5633] |
03c94fc2 |
767 | |
af7522e5 |
768 | 6.21 Tue Nov 11 00:12:56 PST 2003 |
03c94fc2 |
769 | - NetBSD was looking in INSTALLARCHLIB/CORE for libperl instead of |
af7522e5 |
770 | PERL_ARCHLIB/CORE. Would cause problems if INSTALLARCHLIB was changed |
771 | (ie. LIB or PREFIX used). [Jochen Eisinger] |
772 | - Turns out a handful of modules use dir_target(). Restored a version |
773 | for backwards compatibility. |
774 | - Moved blibdirs target from top_targets() to its own section. Lots of |
775 | modules rewrite top_targets() so blibdirs wouldn't be written. |
776 | |
dd0810f9 |
777 | 6.20 Thu Nov 6 02:25:58 PST 2003 |
778 | - Fixing dos2unix on Cygwin. In-place editing doesn't work 100% so we |
779 | take a more conservative approach. |
780 | - Small postamble.t test temp file cleanup fix for Cygwin and Windows. |
781 | - Small Command.t test fix for 5.5.3. No real bug [rt 4290] |
782 | - Small Liblist fix for Cygwin and import libraries [Gerrit P. Haase] |
783 | - metafile error message slightly mangled. Bare $! mistake confusing |
784 | nmake [rt 4285 4301] |
785 | |
a7d1454b |
786 | 6.19 Mon Nov 3 22:53:56 PST 2003 |
787 | - Removed 00setup_dummy.t and zz_cleanup_dummy.t. Tests now setup and |
788 | teardown the dummy modules as needed. |
789 | - Little test glitch on systems without $Config{usevendorprefix} set |
790 | - INSTALL(SITE|VENDOR)MAN*DIR now fall back to $(INSTALLMAN*DIR) |
791 | instead of copying its value. This lets "perl Makefile.PL |
792 | INSTALLMAN1DIR=/some/man/man1" work like expected. |
793 | |
794 | 6.18 Mon Nov 3 20:09:51 PST 2003 |
795 | - parse_version() was blowing over $_ (Ilya Zakharevich) |
796 | - 5.6.2 has the same Cygwin shared lib name fix as 5.7.0. (Gerrit Haase) |
797 | * When $Config{install(site|vendor)man*dir} aren't set it will now |
798 | fall back to $Config{installman*dir}. Similar for |
799 | $Config{install(site|vendor)bin}. This preserves behavior for older |
800 | Perls. |
801 | * Eliminated the dependency on perl.h for pure-perl builds. |
802 | * Eliminated .exists files. Added blibdirs target using MKPATH instead. |
803 | - Removed now unused dir_target() method. |
804 | - Added a little documentation to instmodsh. |
805 | * Made sure PREFIX always has something in it. Module authors like to use |
806 | it when extending MakeMaker. Currently using one of |
807 | PERL/SITE/VENDORPREFIX based on the value of INSTALLDIRS. |
808 | * Added SIGN to generate module signatures with cpansign (Autrijus Tang) |
809 | - Slight tweaks to MAKEFILE_OLD and MAKE_APERL_FILE restoring a mistake |
810 | made around 6.06 to fix static builds on OS/2 |
811 | - Added ExtUtils::Command::dos2unix() |
812 | * manicopy() would make the copied files read-only if 'cp' was used. |
813 | * Fixed prereq check for modules which are also keywords like if.pm and |
814 | open.pm (Autrijus Tang) |
815 | - Made ExtUtils::Command mv and cp return whether or not they succeeded. |
816 | * metafile_addtomanifest now mentions what its doing. |
817 | * metafile will not die if it can't write to META.yml, just emit a |
818 | warning. This lets 'make dist' continue with a read-only META.yml |
819 | - Small fix to identify UWIN on NT (Randy Sims) |
820 | * metafile will not touch the META.yml if it does not need to be changed |
821 | (Thanks to Tim Bunce for this idea) |
822 | * Fixed 'make uninstall' which looks like its been broken since last |
823 | November and nobody noticed. |
824 | - Fixing minor bug in VMS prefixification logic when PREFIX was not set |
825 | by the user. |
826 | - Fixing potential bug in prefixification for relative directories |
827 | * Documented UNINST=1 |
828 | |

830 | - Fixing LD so it can be set properly on Win32. (Orton Yves) |
831 | * Fixing the init_PERL() "tack $Config{exe_ext} onto $^X" logic so |
832 | it works on VMS allowing $^X to be found. |
833 | * Fixing make install UNINST=1 on Windows so it can search PERL5LIB |
834 | (Orton Yves) |
835 | - Fixing "could not open MANIFEST" test for OS/2 (and probably others) |
836 | where a read-only file cannot be deleted. |
837 | - Hacking around the fact that when built for debugging, VMS creates |
838 | ndbgperl.exe. |
839 | - Eliminating the never implemented "help" argument. |
840 | |
2c91f887 |
841 | 6.16 Mon Aug 18 01:39:51 PDT 2003 |
842 | * Fixing the max exec length for Windows to account for old |
843 | versions of nmake (the one you can download for free from MS). |
844 | - Hack to normalize //foo//bar paths in ExtUtils::Installed. |
845 | [Sreeji K Das] |
846 | * Adding Module::Build utility files to MANIFEST.SKIP |
847 | - PREREQ_PRINT is supposed to exit after dumping. (Wolfgang Friebel |
848 | bleadperl@20530) |
849 | - maniadd() was trying to open the MANIFEST even if it didn't need to |
850 | causing unnecessary errors for read-only MANIFESTs (rt.cpan.org 3180) |
851 | |

852 | 6.15 Sun Aug 3 16:41:05 PDT 2003 |
853 | - Make FIXIN on Win32 use the new pl2bat rather than an already |
854 | installed one when building the core (Mattia Barbon) |
855 | |
856 | 6.14 Sun Aug 3 16:23:27 PDT 2003 |
857 | - Adding a reference to the Module::Build META.yml spec in the META.yml |
858 | itself and the metafile documentation. |
859 | - Removed Begin/End comments from manifypods that were getting in the |
860 | way of users adding code to the manifypods target. |
861 | - Putting a POD2MAN macro back as an alias to POD2MAN_EXE and using |
862 | it instead of POD2MAN. This allows people to generate their own man |
863 | installation targets in a backwards compatible way. |
864 | * Adding reference to the Module::Build META file spec in the docs. |
865 | |

866 | 6.13 Thu Jul 31 16:48:01 PDT 2003 |
867 | - Generated META.yml now has the prereqs in sorted order (Andy Lester) |
868 | - Arguments to child Makefile.PLs were still having .. prepended. This |
869 | was exposed by the earlier fix of rt.perl.org 4345. |
870 | - extralibs.ld (for static builds) wasn't being cleaned up. |
871 | |
1b0fc073 |
872 | 6.12 Tue Jul 29 22:19:38 PDT 2003 |
873 | - Should any of your prefixes be /, MakeMaker might lose this and |
874 | prepend your prefix as "prefixyour/directory" rather than |
875 | "prefix/your/directory" (Ed Moy bleadperl 20283) |
876 | - Reversing "realclean was duplicating work already done by clean" |
877 | (CVS 1.124 MM_Unix.pm). Turns out it wasn't a duplication and this |
878 | was causing INST_* files to be left behind if your INST_LIB wasn't |
879 | blib/* as in the perl core. realclean now removes the files copied |
880 | to INST_*. |
881 | - Eliminating xsubpp_version(). No longer relevant. It was checking |
882 | for a feature added to xsubpp before 5.003_07 and doing it in a |
883 | really bizarre way. |
884 | |
885 | 6.11 Thu Jul 24 01:24:37 PDT 2003 |
886 | - Small grammatical doc touch up by Sean Burke |
887 | - Making basic.t clean up better after itself so it can be run |
888 | twice without setting up and cleaning up Big-Dummy again. |
889 | * Noting where to find make in the README |
890 | * Noting that MakeMaker does not produce a GNU make compatible Makefile |
891 | on Windows. |
1b0fc073 |
892 | |
893 | 6.10_08 Mon Jul 21 18:17:06 PDT 2003 |
894 | * $Config{installvendorman*dir} was being ignored and our default |
895 | always used. [rt.cpan.org #2949] |
896 | * Setting NORECURS to true was still resulting in a Makefile which |
897 | tried to recurse into subdirectories which contained a Makefile.PL |
898 | (it simply wouldn't have run them to generate Makefile's). |
899 | This appears to be a rather old bug. |
900 | [rt.cpan.org #2951] |
901 | * [rt.perl.org #4345] Arguments passed to WriteMakefile() would get |
902 | stopped upon by $self->{PARENT} in recursive builds in the process |
903 | of prepending a .. onto it. |
904 | - Command.t now using its own temp directory when testing |
905 | expand_wildcards() so no stray files confuse it. |
906 | * No longer warning about 'postamble' attribute. |
907 | - Added installvars() to list INSTALL* variables so we don't keep |
908 | repeating the list all over the code. |
909 | - Added init_DEST() to create DESTINSTALL* variables for installing |
910 | with DESTDIR set. |
911 | * DESTDIR + PREFIX now does not duplicate DESTDIR. [Redhat #91892 |
912 | and part of rt.cpan.org #2954] |
913 | * DESTDIR is now not directly prepended to the INSTALL* variables. |
914 | installation targets now use DESTINSTALL* instead. This prevents |
915 | the DESTDIR from showing up in places it shouldn't like perllocal.pod. |
916 | DESTDIR is still appearing in .packlist (bug). [rt.cpan.org #2954] |
917 | - MM_VMS->prefixify() wasn't honoring the %Config_Override causing |
918 | some MakeMaker generated config variables to be ignored. |
919 | - MM_VMS->prefixify() was only VMSifying part of its filepaths causing |
920 | internal comparisions to get confused and think it had to prefixify |
921 | when it didn't. |
922 | |
923 | 6.10_07 Sat Jul 5 16:12:52 PDT 2003 |
924 | * Fixing location of perllocal.pod so its always in INSTALLARCHLIB |
925 | instead of one for each perl, site and vendor. |
e3aa3ecb |
926 | - Sun's make treats escaped newlines oddly. Switching oneliner() back |
927 | to using multiple -e's. |
928 | * Bug in libscan() meant that any .pm containing RCS or CVS or SCCS |
929 | in its name (for example, RCS.pm) would be skipped. |
930 | - Command.t was getting confused in the core because it was reading |
931 | files from the core t/ directory, not MakeMaker's t/ directry. |
932 | - MM_OS2 PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER test wrong for a.out systems (Ilya) |
1b0fc073 |
933 | - Fixing perllocal.pod and XS installation on VMS. An extraneous |
934 | newline was introduced when changing the install macros over to |
935 | $(ECHO). |
936 | - Added $(ECHO_N) macro to emulate 'echo -n' |

937 | |

938 | 6.10_06 Sat Jun 7 00:55:29 PDT 2003 |
939 | - Whoops, Liblist.t busted on VMS after I turned strict on in |
940 | ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid. Merely a test bug, not a real bug. |
941 | - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure so the proper error shows. |
942 | - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure diagnostic leaking out during |
943 | the basic.t test on Windows. |
944 | |
1df8d179 |
945 | 6.10_05 Fri Jun 6 18:15:30 PDT 2003 |
946 | * Documenting META.yml, NO_META |
947 | * Documenting the fact that distdir will auto generate META.yml and |
948 | alter your manifest. |
949 | * Adding META.yml autogeneration to the FAQ |
950 | - Recognizing comments with leading whitespace in MANIFESTs better. |
951 | - Small ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid problem on VMS (Craig Berry) |
952 | * Fixed "make install UNINST=1". Appears to have been broken somewhere |
953 | around 6.06_01. |
954 | - Documented the fourth argument to ExtUtils::Install::install() |
955 | - install() will now honor a PERL5LIB change between ExtUtils::Install |
956 | loading and install() running when uninstalling shadows. |
957 | - META.yml generation deals gracefully when the MANIFEST is read-only |
958 | (Slaven rt.cpan.org 2723) |
959 | - Fixing tests on limited dir depth VMS systems by moving the |
960 | dummy-install dir one level up (Craig Berry rt.cpan.org 2747) |
961 | |

962 | 6.10_04 Fri May 23 01:13:04 PDT 2003 |
963 | - Working around BSD threaading bug in version check. [from bleadperl] |
964 | - Added the Makefile to the dist dependencies. (Slaven Rezic) |
965 | - Reversing the find_perl() version check failure warning introced in |
966 | 6.10_03. Too talkative, warned when nothing was wrong. |
967 | * Fixing META.yml auto-addition when there's no newline at the end |
968 | of the MANIFEST [rt.cpan.org 2444] |
969 | * Making it a bit more obvious in the MANIFEST where META.yml comes from. |
970 | - Fixed $_ clobbering in ExtUtils::Manifest functions. |
971 | - [rt.cpan.org 2591] some LD_RUN_PATH thing (Marek Rouchal) |
972 | - Added core.\d+ files to 'make clean' [rt.cpan.org 2543] (Slaven Rezic) |
973 | - INST_* targets were expanded too early (Stas Bekman) |
974 | - Adding ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes (bytes.pm backwards compat wrapper) |
975 | - Fixing MM_MacOS so it will compile on 5.5.x machines (use bytes wrapper) |
976 | * Reducing perldepend set of CORE/*.h dependencies to what 5.5.3 has. |
977 | 5.5.3 should be able to compile XS again. |
978 | * Eliminating fakethr.h and perlsfio.h from VMS's perldepend as they |
979 | sometimes don't get installed. |
980 | - ExtUtils::Install was making a few directories even with the |
981 | "don't really do it" switch on (Slaven Rezic) |
982 | * can build static linked perl binaries again. Probably damaged in |
983 | 6.06_01 when $self->{MAKEFILE} became FIRST_MAKEFILE. (Nick Clark) |
984 | |
985 | 6.10_03 Fri Apr 11 00:21:25 PDT 2003 |
986 | * Added NO_META WriteMakefile() option to suppress generation of |
987 | META.yml. (Spoon, rt.cpan.org 2359) |
988 | - Spurious linebreak in uninstall_from_sitedirs on VMS (Craig Berry) |
989 | * A bit after 6.05 man page names would come out as lib::Foo::Bar |
990 | if the module name didn't contain a ::. Found with podulators. |
991 | Fixed. |
992 | * Skipping installation of RCS ,v files. |
993 | * 'make ci' was busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. Fixed. (Andreas) |
994 | - 'make test' was broken when there's no tests. Introduced in 6.06_03. |
995 | (Stas Bekman) |
996 | - Solving some directory depth problems in tests on oldish VMS systems. |
997 | (Craig Berry) |
998 | - Fixing MM_MacOS so it compiles on UTF-8 systems. (Jarkko) |
999 | - Making find_perl() more talkative when the version check fails |
1000 | miserably. |
1001 | - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE on VMS so XS can compile again (Craig Berry) |
1002 | |
1003 | 6.10_02 Mon Apr 7 00:57:15 PDT 2003 |
1004 | * Removed 2>&1 experiment introduced in 6.10_01 for all non-Unixen |
1005 | except for OS/2. Thought Perl might emulate `... 2>&1`. It doesn't. |
1006 | Just on OS/2. |
1007 | |
1008 | 6.10_01 Sun Apr 6 19:31:42 PDT 2003 |
1009 | - Making install "Skip ... (unchanged)" message happen consistently |
1010 | - Checking file sizes as well as modification times when deciding |
1011 | to skip installing a file. |
1012 | - OS/2 was using $(RM) instead of $(RM_F) (Ilya) |
1013 | - OS/2 needs .dll removed on failed build (Ilya) |
1014 | - fixin() was assuming that rename() can overwrite the target (Ilya) |
1015 | - manifypods target was empty if there are no pods to manify. Put in |
1016 | at least $(NOECHO) $(NOOP) |
1017 | - Cygwin test to check for finding pod2man when building the perl core |
1018 | removed. No longer relevent. |
1019 | - Small fixes for dmake (Mattia Barbon) |
1020 | * Added "Reporting bugs" section to the PATCHING doc. |
1021 | - Minor bug in compile test missed ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid |
1022 | - Removing $(VERSION_FROM) from Makefile dependency. It was too |
1023 | annoying to rebuild the Makefile every time the module changed. |
1024 | Mentioned it in the FAQ instead. |
1025 | - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE macro on VMS. Apparently it never appeared |
1026 | properly before. (Craig Berry) |
1027 | - Fixing ECHO on dmake. |
1028 | - Adding os_flavor() and os_flavor_is() |
1029 | - Making basic.t error output combine STDOUT & STDERR for easier |
1030 | reading. |
1031 | * ExtUtils::Manifest will now work case insensitively. |
1032 | - Fixed 'subroutine redefined' warnings in 00compile.t |
1033 | - Fixed it so typemaps are only looked for in the perl core library. |
1034 | * Hacking around VMS filesystem problems reconstructing package names |
1035 | from filenames in ExtUtils::Installed. (Jesper Naur) |
1036 | |
1037 | # There was no 6.06, I jumped straight to 6.10_XX because there's been |
1038 | # so much change between 6.05 and now. |
1039 | |
1040 | 6.06_05 Mon Mar 31 02:44:11 PST 2003 |
479d2113 |
1041 | - Syncing into bleadperl. Minor nits revealed... |
1042 | - AutoSplit open filehandle bug was fixed in bleadperl. Averted a |
1043 | warning because of this. |
1044 | - hint files were only being loaded if . happened to be in @INC. |
1045 | A bug/feature of File::Spec was stripping off the current dir from |
1046 | the front of hintfile paths causing Perl to look for them in @INC. |
1047 | Worked around. |
1048 | - Now checking $! for errors if a hint file returns undef |
1049 | - compile test was testing all of perl! Scaling back to just ExtUtils/ |
1050 | |
1051 | 6.06_04 Sun Mar 30 20:34:39 PST 2003 |
1052 | - Now looking for ExtUtils::xsubpp through @INC rather than just |
1053 | the perl core directories. This helps ExtUtils::ParseXS. |
1054 | - Systems which don't put their libraries under their $Config{prefix} |
1055 | (OS X, Debian) weren't putting their libraries in the spot declared |
1056 | in Config. It was going under $Config{prefix}. |
1057 | - Prerequisites check now deals better with X.Y_Z style alpha versions |
1058 | - ExtUtils::Liblist->ext() was using $Config{perllibs} which is a 5.6.1 |
1059 | thing. Falling back to $Config{libs} if perllibs isn't there. |
1060 | - ExtUtils::Command::MM now reads from @ARGV if called with no |
1061 | args. Makes the one liner a bit simpler. |
1062 | * Restored ExtUtils::Liblist::ext() for backwards compatibility. |
1063 | Missing since 5.6.1. |
1064 | - Switching to relative dirs for self-building to shorten |
1065 | command line lengths. |
1066 | - Fixing minor test warning on VMS when compiling ExtUtils::Manifest |
1067 | - Skipping STDIN read prompt() tests on 5.5.3. Can't test due to |
1068 | eof() not honor tied handles. |
1069 | - Config.pm on 5.5.3 doesn't have any concept of vendor*. This was |
1070 | causing warnings when generating the Makefile. |
1071 | |
1072 | 6.06_03 Sat Mar 29 19:44:53 PST 2003 |
cb06ebec |
1073 | - Added AUTHOR and ABSTRACT_FROM info to Makefile.PL for ppd generation. |
479d2113 |
1074 | - Added echo() method to portably echo text to a file. |
1075 | - Worked around 5.8.0 eval 'require Foo::Bar' bug causing MakeMaker |
1076 | to think modules weren't installed. |
1077 | - Modernized VMS doc_*_install targets |
1078 | - Changed some $(PERL) -e "print ..." code to use $(ECHO). |
1079 | - Replaced uses of Delete/NoLog/NoConfirm with $(RM_F) in MM_VMS |
1080 | - Fixed some duplicate macros making MMS happy. |
1081 | - Fixed $ExtUtils::MM_VMS::Revision. It was just the $VERSION before. |
1082 | - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::MM::perllocal_install(), uninstall(), |
1083 | warn_if_old_packlist(). |
1084 | * Pulling File::Spec::VMS::fixpath() and eliminate_macros() into MM_VMS |
1085 | as the new cannonical location. They never should have been in F::S |
1086 | in the first place. |
1087 | * ExtUtils::Command::eqtime() would truncate the file being equalized! |
1088 | Holdover from exclusive .exists usage. |
1089 | - Cleaned up hard coded 'echo' and '@' to $(ECHO) and $(NOECHO) |
1090 | - $(SAY) is now $(ECHO) on VMS |
1091 | - Moved rogue initializations from tools_other() to init_others() |
1092 | - Normalized MM_VMS's tools_other() to mostly use its superclass. |
1093 | - split_command() was off-by-one when calculating max command line |
1094 | lengths causing it to run over on VMS |
1095 | - made split_command() a bit smarter, taking into account some macro |
1096 | expansion |
1097 | - Fixed initialization of OBJECT, DISTNAME and LDFROM on VMS |
1098 | - Fixed *_install target uses of File::Spec. |
1099 | - Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish wrapper around vmsish so MM_VMS |
1100 | can be compiled on non-VMS machines. For testing. |
1101 | * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial about writing modules with |
1102 | MakeMaker. |
1103 | - Removed "always use h2xs" dogma. |
1104 | - Added compile & POD test |
1105 | * 'make distdir' now generates META.yml module meta-data file. |
1106 | Proof of concept. Have to syncronize with Module::Build. |
1107 | * Added maniadd() to ExtUtils::Manifest to add entries to the MANIFEST |
1108 | * ExtUtils::Command::chmod was not interpreting file permissions as |
1109 | octal. Also, docs & tests slightly wrong (thanks Stas Bekman). |
1110 | - ExtUtils::Install was hard coding blib/lib and blib/arch, unportable |
1111 | [perl #21526] |
1112 | |
1113 | 6.06_02 Mon Dec 23 20:39:57 PST 2002 |
1114 | * Lots of Win32 fixes busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. |
1115 | * split_command() tests still not happy on Win32. Problems with |
1116 | shell vs Makefile escaping makes testing difficult. |
1117 | * VMS still broken. Need to convert File::Spec method calls back to |
1118 | object method calls so the weird FS::VMS->eliminate_macros() and |
1119 | fixpath() work again. |
1120 | |
1121 | 6.06_01 Thu Dec 19 00:14:49 PST 2002 |
1122 | - Andreas found that when building the core it is desirable for |
1123 | MakeMaker to use a relative path to perl. |
1124 | - File::Spec->catfile() has a bug where the resulting file may not be |
1125 | canonicalized. This was causing problems when generating manpaths. |
1126 | MakeMaker now uses its own fixed override for catfile(). |
1127 | - Fixed the POD recognition regex to properly catch /=head\d/ tags. |
1128 | * Added a PATCHING guideline document. |
1129 | - Updated the class hierarchy in NOTES. |
1130 | - Installed.t now cleans up after itself better. |
1131 | - Steve Purkis rewrote the manifypods system to use Pod::Man |
1132 | rather than pod2man. Its now portable and manifypods() moved from |
1133 | MM_Unix to MM_Any. As a result, lots of icky and redudant code went |
1134 | away. This also removes the POD2MAN macro, but noone should be |
1135 | using that. |
1136 | - "make manifypods" now works on Win32 |
1137 | - "make manifypods" is now be faster |
1138 | - Made MM_Unix->find_perl more portable. Eliminated MM_Win32->find_perl |
1139 | override. MM_VMS->find_perl remains. |
1140 | * find_perl() can now handle filenames with spaces in them (RT448) |
1141 | * find_perl() on Win32 no longer produces spurious "File Creation error" |
1142 | messages (perlbug ID 20020709.001) |
1143 | - Removed unfinished and unused maybe_command_in_dirs() |
1144 | - Removed dead SelfLoader cruft from MM_Unix. |
1145 | - Fixed PPD generation when the ppd contains quotes (RT1473) |
1146 | - Fixed PPD generation on VMS |
1147 | - Moved Win9x specific subdir_x() code from MM_Unix to MM_Win95 |
1148 | * Craig Berry fixed hint files on VMS |
1149 | - Added the perl_onliner() method to generate portable, safe one-liners |
1150 | - Changing hardcoded $self->{MAKEFILE} to $(FIRST_MAKEFILE). |
1151 | * Rafael Garcia-Suarez made MakeMaker ignore Subversion control files |
1152 | by default. |
1153 | - Added MAKEFILE_OLD macro. |
1154 | * No longer generating man pages by default on VMS. |
1155 | - Improved DISTNAME docs |
1156 | * Documented DISTVNAME and VERSION_SYM |
1157 | * Documented dist() |
1158 | - Seperated dist_core() into dist, tardist, uutardist, tarfile, |

1220 | Moved .USESHELL to special_targets() override. |
1221 | Everything else was redundant. |

1235 | method to generate same. This allows easier overriding of an |
1236 | unportable part of the realclean target. |
1237 | - Added oneliner() to create portable perl one-liners. |
1238 | - Craig Berry found some typos in ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid's VMS part |
1239 | * ExtUtils::Install did not work on MacPerl due to a hardcoded '.' |
1240 | * prompt() will now read from STDIN. |
1241 | - Craig Berry made sure extliblist() is always called even if LIBS |
1242 | is explicitly set to empty. |
1243 | * Added DESTDIR to make repacking easier. |
1244 | * $(*PREFIX) are returned to the INSTALL* variables. |
1245 | * Split $(PREFIX) into $(PERLPREFIX) and $(PREFIX). The former |
1246 | holds the location of the core libraries. The latter is the |
1247 | optional override prefix supplied by the user. |
1248 | * PREFIX overrides all other *PREFIXes when set in the Makefile.PL. |
1249 | This restores "make install PREFIX=foo". |
1250 | - Added quote_literal() to handle some shell quoting. |
1251 | - ExtUtils::MM_VMS now compilable on non-VMS platforms. |
1252 | - J. D. Laub made MakeMaker honor $Config{installstyle} |

1264 | - Added split_command() and max_exec_len() to deal with long |
1265 | commands. |
1266 | - Seperated escape_newlines() from quote_literal(). This may |
1267 | be pointless. |
1268 | - pm_to_blib() now generated with split_command(). 3x speedup. |

1291 | - Support hints in MacOS (mutation of bleadperl 17347) |
1292 | * Default man installation directories were using $(MAN*EXT) to |
1293 | generate the directory name. This turned out to be wrong more |
1294 | often than right, so we'll use man1 and man3 hard-coded. |
1295 | - Debian folks fixed the doc_install targets so the Appending |
1296 | diagnostic gives the correct directory for perllocal.pod |

1544 | - Bug in local $ENV{FOO} was causing failures in MM_Win32 tests. |
1545 | Compensating for the bug. |
1546 | - $Config{prefixexp} is sometimes bad on ActivePerl, compensating |
1547 | - Accidentally left htmlifypods tests in MM_Win32 tests |
1548 | |
1549 | [[ Doc Changes ]] |
1550 | - Expanding Known Good list |
1551 | - Adding Known Programs to README |

1553 | 5.51_01 Mon Mar 18 01:37:02 EST 2002 |
1554 | [[ API Changes ]] |
1555 | - Removing xsubpp and typemap from the distribution. These are not |
1556 | Perl version independent files and should not be upgraded. |
1557 | - Removing ExtUtils::Embed. Version specific module and should |
1558 | not be updated. |
1559 | - Removing ExtUtils::Constant. Not directly tied to MakeMaker. |
1560 | Will be distributed seperately by Nick Clark. |
1561 | |
1562 | [[ New Features ]] |
1563 | * realclean now deletes 'dist' directory. |
1564 | |
1565 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
1566 | * Fixing ExtUtils::Installed for VMS |
1567 | * Fixed it so MakeMaker can build itself without needing an eariler |
1568 | version installed |
1569 | * Fixed ExtUtils::Installed so packlists work on VMS |
1570 | * ExtUtils::MM_VMS test had a stupid typo that prevented most |
1571 | of the tests from running. |
1572 | - Fixing VMS so 'mmk' is always 'mmk all' (bleadperl 15218) |
1573 | - ExtUtils::MM_Any->catfile was calling catdir |
1574 | - Added Ken William's "speed up ExtUtils::Manifest" patch. |
1575 | - Added Nick Clark's return value of manifest routines patch |
1576 | (bleadperl@14978) |
1577 | - Merging in bleadperl changes (14438, 14453, 14611, 14612, 14622, |
1578 | 14655, 14677, 14688, 14902, 15023, 15187, 15367) |
1579 | - bleadperl change 15325 (VMS 'mmk all' hack) rejected. |
1580 | - ExtUtils::MM_Any->test_via_harness() now using -MExtUtils::testlib |
1581 | instead of -I's. This keeps the command line shorter on VMS, but |
1582 | it means TEST_LIB doesn't work anymore. May prove problematic. |
1583 | - PERLRUN now uses FULLPERL instead of PERL. This avoids |
1584 | accidental use of miniperl. May cause problems in the core. |
1585 | - Fixed test_via_harness() on VMS so it uses PERLRUN. |
1586 | - ExtUtils::Manifest wrongly handling MANIFEST on VMS. |
1587 | - ExtUtils::Manifest::maniskip broken due to misuse of /o on a regex. |
1588 | |

1590 | [[ API Changes ]] |
479d2113 |
1591 | - htmlifypods and all HTML targets have been removed. It didn't |
f6d6199c |
1592 | work properly. A target for HTMLifying of docs will be |
1593 | added sometime in the future (read: send a patch). |
1594 | - Deprecated ROOTEXT variable removed (its been deprecated for |
1595 | more than five years). |
1596 | - Removed ExtUtils::Miniperl from the CPAN distribution. Can't |
1597 | see how its useful outside the core. |
1598 | |
1599 | [[ New Features ]] |
1600 | * Emacs backup files (ie. *~) are no longer copied into blib |
1601 | (this means you won't get Foo.pm~ accidentally installed anymore). |
1602 | - prefixify() now returns if the prefixification worked or not. |
1603 | - added the Perl patchlevel info to the description embedded in DLLs |
1604 | (Ilya Zakharevich perl change 14810) |
1605 | |
1606 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
1607 | * 5.49_01 broke anything that depended on the MM class to be loaded |
1608 | with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, like CPAN. Temporarily fixed. |
1609 | * Many places wrongfully assume MM methods can be called as class |
1610 | methods! Inside and outside of MakeMaker. |
1611 | * DOS now acts like Win32 instead of Unix. This should be less wrong. |
1612 | - Netware tweak from Ananth Kesari (perl change 14780) |
1613 | |
1614 | [[ Doc Changes ]] |
1615 | * made the docs about the behavior of PREFIX a bit more vague |
1616 | reflecting its odd behavior. |
1617 | - Replaced references to %Config with things people are more likely |
1618 | to understand in PREFIX & LIB docs. |
1619 | - Put PREFIX before LIB in the docs. |
1620 | |
1621 | [[ Internal Refactorings ]] |
1622 | - File::Spec wrappers consolidated in MM_Any |
1623 | - test_via_harness/script consolidated in MM_Any |
1624 | * Added ExtUtils::Command::MM to replace large -e "one-liners" |
1625 | * Added ExtUtils::MM_UWIN, took UWIN specific code out of MM_Unix. |
1626 | * Added ExtUtils::MM_DOS, took some DOS specific code out of MM_Unix |
1627 | - Added a dist() override to MM_OS2. |
1628 | - Took the OS/2 specific code out of MM_Unix's dist() |
1629 | - Starting to quote as many command line switches as possible |
1630 | to make VMS have to override less of MM_Unix. |
1631 | |
1632 | 5.49_01 Mon Feb 4 00:42:40 EST 2002 |
1633 | - Default TEST_LIBS now contains absolute paths, so tests can |
1634 | chdir without breaking @INC. |
1635 | - Some bug fixes in MM_Win32 were missing in MM_NW5. |
1636 | - LLIBPERL was not being set. |
1637 | - Gisle Aas fixed a warning in prompt when the user hits ctrl-D |
1638 | or pipes STDIN to /dev/null. |
1639 | - VMS's test is now a proper ->can check. |
1640 | - Stray newline in Command.t causing havoc (bleadperl 14441) |
1641 | |
1642 | * Lots of internal changes. Everything from here on is an internal |
1643 | change. |
1644 | - Broke ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid out into its own .pm. Temporary. |
1645 | - Broke MM and MY out into their own .pm's. Possibly temporary. |
1646 | - Broke ExtUtils::MM_Win95 out of ExtUtils::MM_Win32. MM_Win95 |
1647 | is now an MM_Win32 subclass. |
1648 | - Removed wrapper methods from ExtUtils::Liblist that were |
1649 | defering File::Spec loading. Almost everything uses File::Spec |
1650 | - Changed most of the 'our's to 'use vars' in prep for 5.005_03 |
1651 | backporting |
1652 | - Changed ExtUtils::MakeMaker->import(...) cargo-cultery in MM_* |
1653 | modules to proper "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(...)" |
1654 | - All non-Unix MM_* modules now directly inherit from MM_Unix. |
1655 | They did this before, but in a round-about way. |
1656 | - MM_* modules no longer directly muck with @MM::ISA. Instead |
1657 | @MM::ISA does that itself. |
1658 | - Removed unnecessary require of Exporter in many MM_* modules. |
1659 | - MM_Cygwin was using an MM_Unix function directly without have |
1660 | explicitly required MM_Unix. |
1661 | - Most of MM_NW5 was redundant with MM_Win32. So MM_NW5 is now |
1662 | a subclass of Win32 and the reduendant code has been deleted. |
1663 | - Replaced lots of calls to File::Spec->updir, curdir and rootdir |
1664 | with a global in MM_Unix. Should make things a bit faster. |
1665 | - Untabified ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I hate tabs. |
1666 | - "Which MM subclass should I use" logic moved from EU::MakeMaker |
1667 | to EU::MM. |
1668 | - Deprecated EU::MakeMaker::Version_check deleted. |
1669 | |
1670 | 5.48_04 Mon Jan 21 19:28:38 EST 2002 |
1671 | - No longer requiring Test::More |
1672 | - Now tested to work with a clean 5.6.1 |
5c161494 |
1673 | - Stripped out $Revision based $VERSIONs. |
f6d6199c |
1674 | - Rolled in patches from p5p, vmsperl & VOS (14325, 14338, 14360, 14364) |
1675 | * hint files now run in a safer context. Only $self is available. |
1676 | - ExtUtils::testlib now provides absolute paths into @INC. |
1677 | No longer obsolete |
1678 | - Little test fixes |
1679 | |
39234879 |
1680 | 5.48_03 Thu Jan 17 23:44:38 EST 2002 |
1681 | * moved bin/inst to bin/instmodsh |
1682 | * Some Win32 backporting fixes. The -x switch doesn't seem to |
1683 | work on Win32/5.6.1. |
1684 | * Bug on Win32. MAKEMAKER variable not set properly. |
1685 | * _02 broke hints files. Now fixed. |
1686 | - Minor prereq error formatting glitch |
1687 | - ExtUtils::testlib no longer a thin wrapper around blib, now a |
1688 | thin wrapper around lib like it was. blib is noisy on 5.6.1. |
1689 | - Nick and chromatic found and fixed some warnings in the tests |
1690 | |
1691 | 5.48_02 Wed Jan 16 19:11:26 EST 2002 |
1692 | - Fixed some Win32 warnings. Needs more work. |

1694 | 5.48_01 Wed Jan 16 15:10:28 EST 2002 |
39234879 |
1695 | * Adapted from bleadperl@14303 |
1696 | * Backported to 5.6.1 |
1697 | - inst and xsubpp moved out of lib/ and into bin/ |
1698 | - ExtUtils::testlib obsoleted. Now a thin wrapper around blib.pm |
1699 | ***--> Non-Unix platforms not tested at all! Please test and report |
1700 | back. Tests probably only need minor fixes. |
