157 - Documented one method in all languages
159 1.006006 - 2010-08-12

196 1.005001 - 2010-03-10
200 1.005000 - 2010-03-10
202 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
203 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
204 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
205 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
207 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
208 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
210 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
213 1.004009 - 2009-11-07
215 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
217 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
219 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
220 with C<--self-contained>.

224 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
226 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
228 1.004007 - 2009-09-02
230 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
231 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
234 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
236 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
239 1.004006 - 2009-08-25
240 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
241 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
242 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
243 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
244 wouldn't work without a directory.
246 1.004005 - 2009-08-23
247 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
248 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
249 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
251 1.004004 - 2009-08-05
253 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
254 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
256 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
258 1.004003 - 2009-16-16
259 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
260 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
261 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
262 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
263 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
264 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
265 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
266 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
268 1.004002 - 2009-06-15
269 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
270 blessed entries. (grink)
271 - Include test in xt/ for the above
273 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
274 archlibexp when self contained.
275 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
276 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
277 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)

279 respects it. (confound)
281 1.004001 - 2009-05-21
282 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
283 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
284 programmatically (confound).
286 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
288 1.004000 - 2009-05-14
289 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
290 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
292 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
293 bootstrapping (confound).
295 1.003004 - 2009-05-12
296 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
297 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
299 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
302 1.003003 - 2009-04-09
303 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
304 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
306 1.003002 - 2009-02-25
307 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
308 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
310 1.003001 - 2009-01-14
311 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
312 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
313 in local::lib::import().
315 1.003000 - 2009-01-13
316 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
317 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
319 1.002000 - 2008-08-06
320 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
321 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
323 1.001000 - 2007-09-19
324 - refactored shell command generation
325 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
327 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
329 1.000000 - 2007-09-13
