12 1.008022 2013-10-07 (development release, unindexed)
13 - see 1.008019 through 1.008021
15 1.008021 2013-10-04 (development release, unindexed)

19 1.008020 2013-10-03 (development release, unindexed)
20 - yet another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with
23 1.008019 2013-09-29 (development release, unindexed)
24 - another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with spaces,
28 - print out actual paths in more test cases, for helping to diagnose
32 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
36 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
39 - re-release 1.008014 to fix broken MANIFEST
42 - fix new test to use alternate path representations on windows, to
43 handle potential space issues (regression since 1.008012)
46 - fix undef value errors when not installing into a local::lib
49 - now handling using -Mlocal::lib in a taintperl environment, by
50 ensuring that all libs in PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT are properly added to
51 @INC (RT#76661, Karen Etheridge)
54 - skip CPAN workaround if running via cpanminus (miyagawa, RT#85731)
57 - Fix a split on undefined value warning (David Golden -- see
58 https://github.com/gugod/App-perlbrew/issues/305)
61 - Remove Carp::Always dep
64 - Fix putting arch path in PERL5LIB
65 - Refactor Win32 path handling out of ensure_dir_structure_for()
66 - Fix active_paths when PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT starts with :
67 - Fix ~/perl5/bin missing in $PATH
68 - The environment variables definition for the shell is now output in
69 a way that allows to put the generated content directly in the
70 .profile without requiring to launch perl
71 (the only difference is how PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT is generated)
75 - Back to 1.008004 with Carp fix since subsequent releases were botched
76 - Avoid issue where PERL5LIB Carp is older than local::lib one
80 - Fix stackable tests on win32 by canonicalizing the path ahead of time
84 - Fix tests with stacking l::ls.
88 - Add local::lib stacking support.
89 - Add activation/deactivation support.
93 - Bootstrap Module::Build just like ExtUtils::MakeMaker
97 - Remove redundant prereqs now that Module::Build 0.36 is required
98 - Makefile.PL avoids CPAN client configuration when not required
99 - print_environment_vars_for() refactored with separate function
100 environment_vars_string_for()
101 - PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT environment is added to disambiguate when
102 PERL_MM_OPT, etc. was set by local::lib or other means
105 - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to
106 miyagawa for pointing this out.
110 - Split up method guess_shelltype from parts of print_environment_vars_for
111 - Updated documentation about change of use with .modulebuildrc
115 - Finally move to PERL_MB_OPT rather than using .modulebuildrc.
119 - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
120 - Documented one method in all languages
124 - Added portuguese translation
125 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
126 - Changed methods look in documentation
130 - Added support informations (also for german)
131 - Fixed newline in german translation from DOS2UNIX
139 - Added german translation right
143 - Hotfix for a search.cpan.org "Bug"
147 - Added german translation
148 - Enhanced some parts of english documentation
149 - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
150 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
154 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
155 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
156 ever worked usefully.
157 - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core
165 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
166 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
167 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
168 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
170 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
171 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
173 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
178 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
180 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
182 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
183 with C<--self-contained>.
187 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
189 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
193 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
194 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
197 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
199 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
203 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
204 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
205 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
206 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
207 wouldn't work without a directory.
210 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
211 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
212 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
216 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
217 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
219 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
222 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
223 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
224 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
225 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
226 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
227 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
228 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
229 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
232 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
233 blessed entries. (grink)
234 - Include test in xt/ for the above
236 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
237 archlibexp when self contained.
238 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
239 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
240 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
241 - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
242 respects it. (confound)
245 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
246 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
247 programmatically (confound).
249 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
252 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
253 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
255 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
256 bootstrapping (confound).
259 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
260 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
262 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
266 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
267 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
270 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
271 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
274 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
275 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
276 in local::lib::import().
279 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
280 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
283 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
284 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
287 - refactored shell command generation
288 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
290 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
