75 * renamed and documented DPPP_NAMESPACE
81 * feature complete for 3.00
82 * implemented missing functionality for ppport.h script:
83 - can now perform global (i.e. multi-file) NEED_ checks
84 - checks source for missing aTHX arguments
85 - checks source for unsupported API calls
86 - can now lists provided and unsupported API
87 - can use Text::Diff on platforms without diff utility
88 - can use custom diff utility / options
89 - can write one patch against the module
90 - can write single copies with changes applied
91 * updated the documentation for Devel::PPPort and ppport.h
92 * added lots of tests for the ppport.h script
93 * merged tests for call_* eval_* from XS::APItest

100 * first beta towards 3.00
101 * complete rework of internals
102 * autogenerated API-checks
103 * autogenerated .pm, .xs and .t files
105 - no static/global functions without explicit NEED_
106 - can now be run without -x
107 - now shows hints and dependencies
108 - now has POD documentation, so perldoc ppport.h works
110 - now uses File::Find when available
