203 1.005000 - 2010-03-10
205 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
206 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
207 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
208 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
210 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)

213 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
216 1.004009 - 2009-11-07

220 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
222 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue

227 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
229 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
231 1.004007 - 2009-09-02
233 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
234 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
237 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
239 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
242 1.004006 - 2009-08-25
243 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
244 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
245 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
246 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
247 wouldn't work without a directory.
249 1.004005 - 2009-08-23
250 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not

254 1.004004 - 2009-08-05

261 1.004003 - 2009-16-16

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

282 respects it. (confound)
284 1.004001 - 2009-05-21
285 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
286 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
287 programmatically (confound).
289 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
291 1.004000 - 2009-05-14
292 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
293 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
295 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
296 bootstrapping (confound).
298 1.003004 - 2009-05-12
299 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
300 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
302 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
305 1.003003 - 2009-04-09
306 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
307 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
309 1.003002 - 2009-02-25

311 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
313 1.003001 - 2009-01-14
314 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
315 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
316 in local::lib::import().
318 1.003000 - 2009-01-13
319 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
320 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
322 1.002000 - 2008-08-06
323 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
324 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
326 1.001000 - 2007-09-19
327 - refactored shell command generation
328 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}

332 1.000000 - 2007-09-13
