22 - print out actual paths in more test cases, for helping to diagnose
26 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
30 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
33 - re-release 1.008014 to fix broken MANIFEST
36 - fix new test to use alternate path representations on windows, to
37 handle potential space issues (regression since 1.008012)
40 - fix undef value errors when not installing into a local::lib
43 - now handling using -Mlocal::lib in a taintperl environment, by
44 ensuring that all libs in PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT are properly added to
45 @INC (RT#76661, Karen Etheridge)
48 - skip CPAN workaround if running via cpanminus (miyagawa, RT#85731)
51 - Fix a split on undefined value warning (David Golden -- see
52 https://github.com/gugod/App-perlbrew/issues/305)
55 - Remove Carp::Always dep
58 - Fix putting arch path in PERL5LIB
59 - Refactor Win32 path handling out of ensure_dir_structure_for()
60 - Fix activate_paths when PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT starts with :
61 - Fix ~/perl5/bin missing in $PATH
64 - Back to 1.008004 with Carp fix since subsequent releases were botched
65 - Avoid issue where PERL5LIB Carp is older than local::lib one
69 - Fix stackable tests on win32 by canonicalizing the path ahead of time
73 - Fix tests with stacking l::ls.
77 - Add local::lib stacking support.
78 - Add activation/deactivation support.
82 - Bootstrap Module::Build just like ExtUtils::MakeMaker
86 - Remove redundant prereqs now that Module::Build 0.36 is required
87 - Makefile.PL avoids CPAN client configuration when not required
88 - print_environment_vars_for() refactored with separate function
89 environment_vars_string_for()
90 - PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT environment is added to disambiguate when
91 PERL_MM_OPT, etc. was set by local::lib or other means
94 - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to
95 miyagawa for pointing this out.
99 - Split up method guess_shelltype from parts of print_environment_vars_for
100 - Updated documentation about change of use with .modulebuildrc
104 - Finally move to PERL_MB_OPT rather than using .modulebuildrc.
108 - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
109 - Documented one method in all languages
113 - Added portuguese translation
114 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
115 - Changed methods look in documentation
119 - Added support informations (also for german)
120 - Fixed newline in german translation from DOS2UNIX
128 - Added german translation right
132 - Hotfix for a search.cpan.org "Bug"
136 - Added german translation
137 - Enhanced some parts of english documentation
138 - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
139 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
143 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
144 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
145 ever worked usefully.
146 - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core
154 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
155 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
156 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
157 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
159 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
160 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
162 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
167 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
169 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
171 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
172 with C<--self-contained>.
176 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
178 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
182 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
183 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
186 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
188 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
192 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
193 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
194 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
195 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
196 wouldn't work without a directory.
199 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
200 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
201 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
205 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
206 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
208 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
211 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
212 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
213 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
214 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
215 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
216 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
217 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
218 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
221 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
222 blessed entries. (grink)
223 - Include test in xt/ for the above
225 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
226 archlibexp when self contained.
227 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
228 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
229 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
230 - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
231 respects it. (confound)
234 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
235 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
236 programmatically (confound).
238 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
241 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
242 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
244 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
245 bootstrapping (confound).
248 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
249 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
251 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
255 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
256 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
259 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
260 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
263 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
264 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
265 in local::lib::import().
268 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
269 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
272 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
273 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
276 - refactored shell command generation
277 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
279 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
