114 - The environment variables definition for the shell is now output in
115 a way that allows to put the generated content directly in the
116 .profile without requiring to launch perl
117 (the only difference is how PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT is generated)
120 1.008007 - 2013-02-17
121 - Back to 1.008004 with Carp fix since subsequent releases were botched

166 - Documented one method in all languages
168 1.006006 - 2010-08-12
170 - Added portuguese translation

198 1.006000 - 2010-03-31
200 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
201 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
202 ever worked usefully.
203 - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core
205 1.005001 - 2010-03-10
209 1.005000 - 2010-03-10
211 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
212 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
213 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
214 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
216 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
217 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
219 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
222 1.004009 - 2009-11-07
224 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
226 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
228 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue

237 1.004007 - 2009-09-02
239 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
240 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
243 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
245 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
248 1.004006 - 2009-08-25
249 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
250 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
251 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
252 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
253 wouldn't work without a directory.
255 1.004005 - 2009-08-23
256 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
257 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the

260 1.004004 - 2009-08-05

267 1.004003 - 2009-16-16
268 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
269 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
270 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
271 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
272 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
273 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
274 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
275 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
277 1.004002 - 2009-06-15
278 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
279 blessed entries. (grink)
280 - Include test in xt/ for the above
282 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
283 archlibexp when self contained.
284 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
285 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
286 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)

288 respects it. (confound)
290 1.004001 - 2009-05-21
291 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
292 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
293 programmatically (confound).
295 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
297 1.004000 - 2009-05-14
298 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
299 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
301 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
302 bootstrapping (confound).
304 1.003004 - 2009-05-12
305 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
306 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
308 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
311 1.003003 - 2009-04-09
312 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
313 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
315 1.003002 - 2009-02-25
316 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
317 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
319 1.003001 - 2009-01-14
320 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
321 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
322 in local::lib::import().
324 1.003000 - 2009-01-13
325 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
326 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
328 1.002000 - 2008-08-06
329 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
330 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
332 1.001000 - 2007-09-19
333 - refactored shell command generation
334 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
336 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
338 1.000000 - 2007-09-13
