186 - can now perform global (i.e. multi-file) NEED_ checks
187 - checks source for missing aTHX arguments
188 - checks source for unsupported API calls
189 - can now lists provided and unsupported API
190 - can use Text::Diff on platforms without diff utility
191 - can use custom diff utility / options
192 - can write one patch against the module
193 - can write single copies with changes applied
194 * updated the documentation for Devel::PPPort and ppport.h
195 * added lots of tests for the ppport.h script
196 * merged tests for call_* eval_* from XS::APItest

204 * complete rework of internals
205 * autogenerated API-checks
206 * autogenerated .pm, .xs and .t files
208 - no static/global functions without explicit NEED_
209 - can now be run without -x
210 - now shows hints and dependencies
211 - now has POD documentation, so perldoc ppport.h works
213 - now uses File::Find when available
214 * tested with multi-threaded (ithreads and 5.005-threads) perls
