1 | Revision history for Perl extension Time::HiRes. |
2 | |
9649b81b |
3 | 1.75 [2005-10-18] |
4 | - installation patch from Gisle Aas: in Perls 5.8.x and later |
5 | use MakeMaker INSTALLDIRS value of 'perl' instead of 'site'. |
6 | |
06252d99 |
7 | 1.74 [2005-09-19] |
8 | - [cpan #14608] Solaris 8 perl 5.005_03 File::Spec module does not have method rel2abs |
9 | (the workaround is not to use rel2abs, should not be necessary) |
10 | - [cpan #14642] U2time wrongly exported on the C API |
11 | (patch supplied by the reporter, SALVA@cpan.org) |
12 | - add release dates to Changes |
13 | |
14 | 1.73 [2005-08-16] |
15 | - Time::HiRes::nanosleep support for Solaris [PATCH] |
937b804e |
16 | (POSIX::uname() not available if building with core perl, |
17 | from Gisle Aas, via perl5-porters, perl change #25295) |
18 | |
06252d99 |
19 | 1.72 [2005-07-01] |
20 | - going back to the 1.68 loader setup (using DynaLoader) |
0cf8ddea |
21 | since too many weird things starting breaking |
22 | - fix a typo in José Auguste-Etienne's name |
23 | |
06252d99 |
24 | 1.71 [2005-06-28] |
25 | - a thinko in the nanosleep() detection |
56c1b3bd |
26 | - move more changes stuff from the README to Changes |
27 | - add -w to the Makefile.PL |
28 | |
06252d99 |
29 | 1.70 [2005-06-26] |
30 | - oops in 1.69 about @ISA (not affecting anything but silly) |
f8daf111 |
31 | - add copyright 2005 to HiRes.pm |
32 | - add copyright and license to HiRes.xs |
56c1b3bd |
33 | - add copyrights 2003, 2004, 2005 to README |
f8daf111 |
34 | |
06252d99 |
35 | 1.69 [2005-06-25] |
36 | - actually run a test for nanosleep |
56c1b3bd |
37 | (if there is no $Config{d_nanosleep}) since e.g. in AIX 4.2 |
26e22fd9 |
38 | it seems that one can link in nanosleep() but then calling |
39 | it fails instantly and sets errno to ENOSYS (Not implemented). |
40 | This may be fixable in the AIX case by figuring out the right |
41 | (realtime POSIX?) libs and whatnot, but in the general case |
42 | running a real test case is better. (Of course, this change |
43 | will no doubt run into portability problems because of the |
0cf8ddea |
44 | execution step...) Note that because of hysterical raisins |
45 | most Perls do NOT have $Config{d_nanosleep} (scanning for |
46 | it by Configure would in many platforms require linking in |
47 | things like -lrt, which would in many platforms be a bad idea |
48 | for Perl itself). |
49 | (from José Auguste-Etienne) |
26e22fd9 |
50 | - support XSLoader also since it's much faster |
51 | (from Alexey Tourbin) |
52 | - add SEE ALSO (BSD::Resource and Time::TAI64) |
53 | |
06252d99 |
54 | 1.68 [2005-05-14] |
993164ab |
55 | - somehow 1.67 had a lot of doubled lines (a major cut-and-paste |
56 | error suspected), but miraculously it still worked since the |
57 | doubling took place below the __END__ token |
58 | - undef Pause() before defining it to avoid redefinition warnings |
59 | during compilation in case perl.h had already defined Pause() |
60 | (part of perl change #24271) |
61 | - minor doc tweaks |
62 | |
06252d99 |
63 | 1.67 [2005-05-04] |
993164ab |
64 | - (internal) don't ignore the return value of gettimeofday() |
65 | - (external) return undef or an empty if the C gettimeofday() fails |
66 | (affects Time::HiRes gettimeofday() and the hires time()) |
67 | |
06252d99 |
68 | 1.66 [2004-12-19] |
44d3ce20 |
69 | - add nanosleep() |
70 | - fix the 'hierachy' typo in Makefile.PL [rt.cpan.org #8492] |
71 | - should now build in Solaris [rt.cpan.org #7165] (since 1.64) |
72 | - should now build in Cygwin [rt.cpan.org #7535] (since 1.64) |
73 | - close also [rt.cpan.org #5933] "Time::HiRes::time does not pick up time adjustments like ntp" since ever reproducing it in the same environment |
74 | has become rather unlikely |
75 | |
06252d99 |
76 | 1.65 [2004-09-18] |
64a7a97c |
77 | - one should not mix u?alarm and sleep (the tests modified |
78 | by 1.65, #12 and #13, hung in Solaris), now we just busy |
79 | loop executing an empty block |
80 | - in the documentation underline the unspecificity of mixing |
81 | sleeps and alarms |
82 | - small spelling fixes |
83 | |
06252d99 |
84 | 1.64 [2004-09-16] |
64a7a97c |
85 | - regenerate ppport.h with Devel::PPPort 3.03, |
86 | now the MY_CXT_CLONE is defined in ppport.h, |
87 | we no more need to do that. |
88 | |
89 | - the test #12 would often hang in sigsuspend() (at least that's |
90 | where Mac OS X' ktrace shows it hanging). With the sleep()s |
91 | changed to sleep(1)s, the tests still pass but no hang after |
92 | a few hundred repeats. |
93 | |
06252d99 |
94 | 1.63 [2004-09-01] |
1fbb4de4 |
95 | - Win32 and any ithread build: ppport.h didn't define |
96 | MY_CXT_CLONE, which seems to be a Time-HiResism. |
97 | |
06252d99 |
98 | 1.62 [2004-08-31] |
1fbb4de4 |
99 | - Skip testing if under PERL_CORE and Time::HiRes has not |
100 | been Configured (from Marcus Holland-Moritz, core change |
101 | #23246) |
102 | - Use ppport.h generated by Devel::PPPort 3.01, |
103 | allowing cutting away our own portability code. |
104 | - Don't use $ENV{PERL_CORE} for < 5.6.0. |
105 | - Don't use "for my $i" for <= 5.003. |
106 | - Don't use Pause() for <= 5.003. |
107 | - Can't use newSVpvf for <= 5.003. |
108 | (most of the changes from Marcus) |
109 | |
06252d99 |
110 | 1.61 [2004-08-21] |
4ed0e2d4 |
111 | - Win32: reset reading from the performance counters every |
112 | five minutes to better track wall clock time (thanks to |
113 | PC timers being often quite bad), should help long-running |
114 | programs. |
115 | |
06252d99 |
116 | 1.60 [2004-08-15] |
4ed0e2d4 |
117 | - Win32: Patch from Steve Hay |
118 | [PATCH] Re: [perl #30755] [Win32] Different results from Time::HiRes::gettimeofdayunder the debugger |
119 | to [perl #30755] reported by Nigel Sandever |
120 | |
121 | - Cygwin: Use the Win32 recalibration code also in Cygwin if the |
122 | <w32api/windows.h> APIs are available. Cygwin testing by |
123 | Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes. |
124 | |
125 | - Solaris: use -lposix4 to get nanosleep for Solaris 2.6, |
126 | after that keep using -lrt, patch from Alan Burlison, |
127 | bug reported in [cpan #7165] |
128 | |
06252d99 |
129 | 1.59 [2004-04-08] |
d8cb5b61 |
130 | - Change the Win32 recalibration limit to 0.5 seconds and tweak |
131 | the documentation to blather less about the gory details of the |
132 | Win32 implementation and more about the complications in general |
133 | of meddling with the system clock. |
134 | |
06252d99 |
135 | 1.58 [2004-04-08] |
d8cb5b61 |
136 | - Document the 1.57 change better. |
137 | |
06252d99 |
138 | 1.57 [2004-07-04] |
d8cb5b61 |
139 | - Win32/Cygwin/MinGW: if the performance counter drifts by more |
140 | than two seconds from the system clock (due to ntp adjustments, |
c1dc6e7c |
141 | for example), recalibrate our internal counter: from Jan Dubois, |
142 | based on [cpan #5933] by Jerry D. Hedden. |
143 | |
06252d99 |
144 | 1.56 [2004-29-02] |
1caec985 |
145 | - Give a clearer message if the tests timeout (perl change #22253) |
146 | - Don't use /tmp or its moral equivalents (perl bug #15036, |
147 | perl change #22258) |
148 | |
06252d99 |
149 | 1.55 [2004-01-14] |
4ed0e2d4 |
150 | - Windows: mingw32 patch from Mike Pomraning (use Perl's Const64() |
b6136f41 |
151 | instead of VC-specific i64 suffix) |
152 | |
06252d99 |
153 | 1.54 [2003-12-31] |
0225372c |
154 | - Solaris: like Tru64 (dec_osf) also Solaris need -lrt for nanosleep |
155 | |
06252d99 |
156 | 1.53 [2003-12-30] |
0225372c |
157 | - Windows: higher resolution time() by using the Windows |
158 | performance counter API, from Jan Dubois and Anton Shcherbinin. |
159 | The exact new higher resolution depends on the hardware, |
160 | but it should be quite a bit better than using the basic |
161 | Windows timers. |
162 | |
06252d99 |
163 | 1.52 [2003-10-28] |
690f7c5f |
164 | - In AIX (v?) with perl 5.6.1 the HiRes.t can hang after |
165 | the subtest 18. No known analysis nor fix, but added |
166 | an alarm (that requires fork() and alarm()) to the test. |
167 | |
06252d99 |
168 | 1.51 [2003-09-22] |
b85af263 |
169 | - doc tweaks from mjd (perl change #20456) |
170 | - NCR MP-RAS hints file added (svr4.pl) (perl change #21249) |
171 | |
06252d99 |
172 | 1.50 [2003-08-02] |
d7358e6a |
173 | - add a message (for non-core builds) to Makefile.PL about |
174 | the LC_ALL=C workaround |
175 | - &Time::HiRes::d_nanosleep was broken (perl change #20131) |
176 | - the nanosleep() probe was broken (perl change #20061) |
177 | - use existence instead of definedness for feature probes |
178 | (perl change #20043) |
179 | - MPE/iX tweak (perl change #20042) |
180 | - do not use HAS_NANOSLEEP (perl change #19898) |
181 | |
06252d99 |
182 | 1.49 [2003-06-23] |
df16a331 |
183 | - UVuf for non-IVSIZE platforms (from Keiichiro Nagano) |
184 | - OS/2 can always mix subsecond sleeps with signals |
185 | (part of perl change #19789) |
186 | |
06252d99 |
187 | 1.48 [2003-06-04] |
2d9815af |
188 | - workaround for buggy gcc 2.95.3 in openbsd/sparc64 |
189 | (perl change #19592) |
190 | |
06252d99 |
191 | 1.47 [2003-05-03] |
2d9815af |
192 | - do not use -lrt in Linux (from March Lehmann, perl change #19449) |
1a08a6ab |
193 | - unnecessary (nanosleep is in libc anyway) |
194 | - harmful (-lrt slows down execution) |
195 | - incompatible (with many distributions' pthreads) |
196 | |
06252d99 |
197 | 1.46 [2003-04-25] |
25ca0970 |
198 | - do not create files in blib directories under core |
199 | (perl change #19160, from rgs) |
200 | - detypo s/VTLARM/VTARLM/ (perl change #19328, from mjd) |
201 | |
06252d99 |
202 | 1.45 [2003-04-01] |
25ca0970 |
203 | - guarantee that $xdefine in HiRes.t is always defined |
204 | (perl change #19109, from IlyaZ) |
205 | - a cleaner way to detect PERL_CORE (perl change #19111, |
206 | from IlyaZ) |
207 | |
06252d99 |
208 | 1.44 [2003-03-30] |
0be47ac6 |
209 | - add hints/irix.pl to turn off overly POSIX flags that |
210 | cause hide struct timespec to be hidden (and compilation |
25ca0970 |
211 | to fail) (bleadperl change #19085) |
0be47ac6 |
212 | - documentation tweaks |
213 | |
06252d99 |
214 | 1.43 [2003-03-11] |
a0c8e3cf |
215 | - add c:/temp to the list of temp directories to probe |
216 | so that cygwin (and win*?) builds are happy. This was |
217 | needed at least in my cygwin 1.3.20/w2k setup. |
218 | |
06252d99 |
219 | 1.42 [2003-01-07] |
98b50af3 |
220 | - modernize the constants code (from Nicholas Clark) |
221 | |
06252d99 |
222 | 1.41 [2003-01-03] |
98b50af3 |
223 | - At some point the ability to figure our the correct incdir |
224 | for EXTERN.h (either a core perl build, or an installed perl) |
225 | had broken (which lead into all test compiles failing with |
226 | a core perl build, but thanks to the robustness of Makefile.PL |
a0c8e3cf |
227 | nothing of this was visible). The brokenness seemed to be |
228 | caused by $ENV{PERL_CORE} not being on for core builds? |
229 | Now stole a trick from the Encode that sets $ENV{PERL_CORE} |
230 | right, and both styles of build should work again. |
98b50af3 |
231 | |
06252d99 |
232 | 1.40 [2003-01-03] |
98b50af3 |
233 | - Nicholas Clark noticed that the my_catdir() emulation function |
234 | was broken (which means that we didn't really work for Perls |
235 | 5.002 and 5.003) |
236 | - inspired by fixing the above made the whole Makefile.PL -w |
237 | and strict clean |
238 | - tightened up the Makefile.PL output, less whitespace |
239 | |
06252d99 |
240 | 1.39 [2003-10-20] |
6a20eacc |
241 | - fix from Craig Berry for better building in VMS with PERL_CORE |
242 | |
06252d99 |
243 | 1.38 [2003-10-13] |
3f2ee006 |
244 | - no functional changes |
245 | - move lib/Time/HiRes.pm as Hires.pm |
246 | - libraries scanning was slightly broken (always scanned |
247 | for a library even when $Config{libs} already had it) |
248 | |
06252d99 |
249 | 1.37 [2003-09-23] |
3f2ee006 |
250 | - Ray Zimmerman ran into a race condition in Mac OS X. |
251 | A 0.01-second alarm fired before the test expected. |
252 | The test first slept indefinitely (blocking for signals) |
253 | and only after that tested for the signal having been sent. |
254 | Since the signal had already been sent, the test #12 never |
255 | completed. The solution: test first, then block. |
256 | - default to being silent on all probing attempts, set the |
257 | environment variable VERBOSE to a true value to see the |
258 | details (the probing command and the possible errors) |
259 | |
06252d99 |
260 | 1.36 [2003-09-12] |
3f2ee006 |
261 | - do not clear MAN3PODS in Makefile.PL (Radoslaw Zielinski) |
262 | - INSTALLDIRS => 'perl' missing which means that Time::HiRes |
263 | cannot be upgraded from CPAN to override the 5.8.0 version |
264 | (Guido A. Ostkamp) |
265 | - Time::HiRes 1.35 could not be dropped as-is to bleadperl |
266 | because the include directories did not adjust themselves |
267 | if $ENV{PERL_CORE} (Hugo van der Sanden) |
268 | - add documentation about the restart of select() under alarm() |
269 | |
06252d99 |
270 | 1.35 [2003-08-24] |
3f2ee006 |
271 | - small documentation tweaks |
272 | |
273 | |
06252d99 |
274 | 1.34 [2003-08-22] |
3f2ee006 |
275 | - better VMS operation (Craig Berry) |
276 | |
06252d99 |
277 | 1.33 [2003-08-20] |
3f2ee006 |
278 | - our time machine is accelerating: now works with Perl 5.004_01 |
279 | (tried with 5.003_07 and 5.002 but I get segmentation faults |
280 | from running the Makefile.PL with those in Tru64 4.0D) |
281 | |
06252d99 |
282 | 1.32 [2003-08-20] |
3f2ee006 |
283 | - backward compatibility (pre-5.6.0) tweaks: |
284 | - no XSLoader in 5.00503, use DynaLoader instead |
285 | - no SvPV_nolen, either |
286 | - no PerlProc_pause(), either |
287 | - now tested with 5.00404 and 5.00503 |
288 | - Makefile.PL requires 5.00404 (no more 5.002) |
289 | - use nanosleep instead of usleep, if it is available (Wilson Snyder) |
290 | (this means that one can mix subsecond sleeps with alarms) |
291 | - because of nanosleep we probe for -lrt and -lposix4 |
292 | - the existence of getitimer/nanosleep/setitimer/ualarm/usleep |
293 | is available by exportable constants Time::HiRes::d_func |
294 | (since older Perl do not have them in %Config, and even |
295 | 5.8.0 does not probe for nanosleep) |
296 | |
06252d99 |
297 | 1.31 [2003-08-19] |
3f2ee006 |
298 | - backward compatibility (pre-5.6.1) tweaks: |
299 | - define NV if no NVTYPE |
300 | - define IVdf if needed (note: the Devel::PPPort |
301 | in 5.8.0 does not try hard hard enough since |
302 | the IVSIZE might not be defined) |
303 | - define NVgf if needed |
304 | - grab the typemap from 5.8.0 for the NV stuff |
56c1b3bd |
305 | |
306 | 1.31 and 1.32 add more backward compatibility (now all the way |
307 | back to Perl 5.00404), and using nanosleep() (if available) for |
308 | subsecond sleeps. |
309 | |
06252d99 |
310 | 1.30 [2003-08-16] |
3f2ee006 |
311 | |
312 | - release 1.29_02 as 1.30 |
313 | |
56c1b3bd |
314 | 1.30 adds all the changes made during the Perl 5.6->5.7->5.8 |
315 | development cycle. Most notably portability across platforms has been |
316 | enhanced, and the interval timers (setitimer, getitimer) have been |
317 | added. Note that the version of Time::HiRes that is included in Perl |
318 | 5.8.0 calls itself 1.20_00, but it is equivalent to this Time::HiRes |
319 | version. Note also that in 1.30 Wegscheid turns over the maintenance |
320 | to Jarkko Hietaniemi. |
321 | |
06252d99 |
322 | 1.29_02 [2003-08-16] |
3f2ee006 |
323 | |
324 | - fix a silly unclosed comment typo in HiRes.xs |
325 | - document and export REALTIME_REALPROF (Solaris) |
326 | |
06252d99 |
327 | 1.29_01 [2003-08-16] |
3f2ee006 |
328 | |
329 | - only getitimer(ITIMER_REAL) available in Cygwin and Win32 |
330 | (need to patch this also in Perl 5.[89]) |
331 | - remove CVS revision log from HiRes.xs |
332 | |
06252d99 |
333 | 1.29_00 [2003-08-14] |
3f2ee006 |
334 | |

400 | The following changes were made on top of the changes |
401 | made for Time::HiRes during the Perl 5.7 development |
402 | cycle that culminated in the release of Perl 5.8.0. |
403 | |
404 | - add "require 5.005" to the Makefile.PL |
405 | - remove the REVISION section (CVS log) from HiRes.pm |
406 | - add jhi's copyright alongside Douglas' |
407 | - move HiRes.pm to lib/Time/ |
408 | - move HiRes.t to t/ |
409 | - modify HiRes.t to use $ENV{PERL_CORE} |
410 | - modify the original Time::HiRes version 1.20 Makefile.PL |
411 | to work both with Perl 5.8.0 and the new code with pre-5.8.0 |
412 | Perls (tried with 5.6.1) |
413 | - tiny tweaks and updates in README and TODO |
414 | - bump the VERSION to 1.29 |
415 | |
dcf686c9 |
416 | 1.20 Wed Feb 24 21:30 1999 |
417 | - make our usleep and ualarm substitutes into hrt_usleep |
418 | and hrt_ualarm. This helps static links of Perl with other |
419 | packages that also have usleep, etc. From |
420 | Ilya Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu> |
421 | - add C API stuff. From Joshua Pritikin |
422 | <joshua.pritikin@db.com> |
3f2ee006 |
423 | - VMS Makefile.PL fun. From pvhp@forte.com (Peter Prymmer) |
dcf686c9 |
424 | - hopefully correct "-lc" fix for SCO. |
425 | - add PPD stuff |
426 | |
56c1b3bd |
427 | 1.20 adds a platform neutral set of C accessible routines if you are |
428 | running 5.005+. All other changes are packaging changes and build |
429 | fixes(?) for statically linked Perl, SCO, and VMS. |
430 | |
dcf686c9 |
431 | 1.19 Tue Sep 29 22:30 1998 |
432 | - put VMS gettimeofday() in. Patch is from Sebastian Bazley |
433 | <seb@stian.demon.co.uk> |
434 | - change GIMME_V to GIMME to help people with older versions of |
435 | Perl. |
436 | - fix Win32 version of gettimeofday(). It didn't affect anything, |
437 | but it confuses people reading the code when the return value |
438 | is backwards (0 is success). |
439 | - fix Makefile.PL (more) so that detection of gettimeofday is |
440 | more correct. |
441 | |
56c1b3bd |
442 | 1.19 has better VMS support. |
443 | |
dcf686c9 |
444 | 1.18 Mon Jul 6 22:40 1998 |
445 | - add usleep() for Win32. |
446 | - fix Makefile.PL to fix reported HP/UX feature where unresolved |
447 | externals still cause an executable to be generated (though no |
448 | x bit set). Thanks to David Kozinn for report and explanation. |
449 | Problems with the fix are mine :) |
450 | |
56c1b3bd |
451 | 1.18 has limited Win32 support (no ualarm). Added usleep for Win32. |
452 | Probably buggy. I'm sure I'll hear. |
453 | |
dcf686c9 |
454 | 1.17 Wed Jul 1 20:10 1998 |
455 | - fix setitimer calls so microseconds is not more than 1000000. |
456 | Hp/UX 9 doesn't like that. Provided by Roland B Robert, PhD. |
3f2ee006 |
457 | - make Win32. We only get gettimeofday (the select hack doesn't |
dcf686c9 |
458 | seem to work on my Win95 system). |
3f2ee006 |
459 | - fix test 4 on 01test.t. add test to see if time() and |
dcf686c9 |
460 | Time::HiRes::time() are close. |
461 | |
462 | 1.16 Wed Nov 12 21:05 1997 |
463 | - add missing EXTEND in new gettimeofday scalar code. |
464 | |
56c1b3bd |
465 | 1.16+ should be closer to building out of the box on Linux. Thanks |
466 | to Gisle Aas for patches, and the ualarm equivalent using setitimer. |
467 | |
468 | If your underlying operating system doesn't implement ualarm(), then |
469 | a fake using setitimer() will be made. If the OS is missing usleep(), |
470 | a fake one using select() will be made. If a fake can't be made for |
471 | either ualarm() or usleep(), then the corresponding Perl function will |
472 | not be available. If the OS is missing gettimeofday(), you will get |
473 | unresolved externals, either at link- or run-time. |
474 | |
475 | This is an improvement; the package used to not even build if |
476 | you were missing any of these bits. Roderick Schertler |
477 | |
478 | <roderick@argon.org> did all the conditional compilation stuff, |
479 | look at HiRes.pm and the test suites; it's good educational reading. |
480 | |

481 | 1.15 Mon Nov 10 21:30 1997 |
482 | - HiRes.pm: update pod. Provided by Gisle Aas. |
483 | - HiRes.xs: if gettimeofday() called in scalar context, do |
484 | something more useful than before. Provided by Gisle Aas. |
485 | - README: tell of xsubpp '-nolinenumber' woes. thanks to |
486 | Edward Henigin <ed@texas.net> for pointing out the problem. |
487 | |
488 | 1.14 Wed Nov 5 9:40 1997 |
489 | - Makefile.PL: look for setitimer |
490 | - HiRes.xs: if missing ualarm, but we have setitimer, make up |
491 | our own setitimer. These were provided by Gisle Aas. |
492 | |
493 | 1.13 Tue Nov 4 23:30 1997 |
494 | - Makefile.PL: fix autodetect mechanism to do try linking in addition |
495 | to just compiling; should fix Linux build problem. Fix was provided |
496 | by Gisle Aas. |
497 | |
498 | 1.12 Sun Oct 12 12:00:00 1997 |
499 | - Makefile.PL: set XSOPT to '-nolinenumbers' to work around xsubpp bug; |
500 | you may need to comment this back out if you have an older xsubpp. |
501 | - HiRes.xs: set PROTOTYPES: DISABLE |
502 | |
503 | 1.11 Fri Sep 05 16:00:00 1997 |
504 | - Makefile.PL: |
505 | Had some line commented out that shouldn't have been (testing |
506 | remnants) |
507 | - README: |
508 | Previous version was corrupted. |
509 | |
510 | 1.10 Thu May 22 20:20:00 1997 |
511 | - HiRes.xs, HiRes.pm, t/*: |
512 | - only compile what we have OS support for (or can |
513 | fake with select()) |
514 | - only test what we compiled |
515 | - gross improvement to the test suite |
516 | - fix EXPORT_FAIL. |
517 | This work was all done by Roderick Schertler |
518 | <roderick@argon.org>. If you run Linux or |
519 | one of the other ualarm-less platoforms, and you like this |
520 | module, let Roderick know; without him, it still wouldn't |
521 | be working on those boxes... |
522 | - Makefile.PL: figure out what routines the OS has and |
523 | only build what we need. These bits were written by Jarkko |
524 | Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>. Again, gratitude is due... |
525 | |
526 | 1.02 Mon Dec 30 08:00:00 1996 |
527 | - HiRes.pm: update documentation to say what to do when missing |
528 | ualarm() and friends. |
529 | - README: update to warn that ualarm() and friends need to exist |
530 | |
531 | 1.01 Fri Oct 17 08:00:00 1996 |
532 | - Makefile.PL: make XSPROTOARGS => '-noprototyopes' |
533 | - HiRes.pm: put blank line between __END__ and =head1 so that |
534 | pod2man works. |
535 | |
536 | 1.00 Tue Sep 03 13:00:00 1996 |
537 | - original version; created by h2xs 1.16 |
