5 * Adding META.yml autogeneration to the FAQ
6 - Recognizing comments with leading whitespace in MANIFESTs better.
7 - Small ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid problem on VMS (Craig Berry)
8 * Fixed "make install UNINST=1". Appears to have been broken somewhere
10 - Documented the fourth argument to ExtUtils::Install::install()
11 - install() will now honor a PERL5LIB change between ExtUtils::Install
12 loading and install() running when uninstalling shadows.

18 6.10_04 Fri May 23 01:13:04 PDT 2003
19 - Working around BSD threaading bug in version check. [from bleadperl]
20 - Added the Makefile to the dist dependencies. (Slaven Rezic)
21 - Reversing the find_perl() version check failure warning introced in
22 6.10_03. Too talkative, warned when nothing was wrong.
23 * Fixing META.yml auto-addition when there's no newline at the end
24 of the MANIFEST [rt.cpan.org 2444]
25 * Making it a bit more obvious in the MANIFEST where META.yml comes from.
26 - Fixed $_ clobbering in ExtUtils::Manifest functions.
27 - [rt.cpan.org 2591] some LD_RUN_PATH thing (Marek Rouchal)

29 - INST_* targets were expanded too early (Stas Bekman)
30 - Adding ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes (bytes.pm backwards compat wrapper)
31 - Fixing MM_MacOS so it will compile on 5.5.x machines (use bytes wrapper)
32 * Reducing perldepend set of CORE/*.h dependencies to what 5.5.3 has.
33 5.5.3 should be able to compile XS again.
34 * Eliminating fakethr.h and perlsfio.h from VMS's perldepend as they
35 sometimes don't get installed.
36 - ExtUtils::Install was making a few directories even with the
37 "don't really do it" switch on (Slaven Rezic)
38 * can build static linked perl binaries again. Probably damaged in
39 6.06_01 when $self->{MAKEFILE} became FIRST_MAKEFILE. (Nick Clark)
41 6.10_03 Fri Apr 11 00:21:25 PDT 2003
42 * Added NO_META WriteMakefile() option to suppress generation of
43 META.yml. (Spoon, rt.cpan.org 2359)
44 - Spurious linebreak in uninstall_from_sitedirs on VMS (Craig Berry)
45 * A bit after 6.05 man page names would come out as lib::Foo::Bar
46 if the module name didn't contain a ::. Found with podulators.
48 * Skipping installation of RCS ,v files.
49 * 'make ci' was busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. Fixed. (Andreas)
50 - 'make test' was broken when there's no tests. Introduced in 6.06_03.

59 6.10_02 Mon Apr 7 00:57:15 PDT 2003
60 * Removed 2>&1 experiment introduced in 6.10_01 for all non-Unixen
61 except for OS/2. Thought Perl might emulate `... 2>&1`. It doesn't.
64 6.10_01 Sun Apr 6 19:31:42 PDT 2003
65 - Making install "Skip ... (unchanged)" message happen consistently
66 - Checking file sizes as well as modification times when deciding
67 to skip installing a file.
68 - OS/2 was using $(RM) instead of $(RM_F) (Ilya)
69 - OS/2 needs .dll removed on failed build (Ilya)
70 - fixin() was assuming that rename() can overwrite the target (Ilya)
71 - manifypods target was empty if there are no pods to manify. Put in
72 at least $(NOECHO) $(NOOP)
73 - Cygwin test to check for finding pod2man when building the perl core
74 removed. No longer relevent.
75 - Small fixes for dmake (Mattia Barbon)
76 * Added "Reporting bugs" section to the PATCHING doc.
77 - Minor bug in compile test missed ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid
78 - Removing $(VERSION_FROM) from Makefile dependency. It was too
79 annoying to rebuild the Makefile every time the module changed.
80 Mentioned it in the FAQ instead.
81 - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE macro on VMS. Apparently it never appeared
82 properly before. (Craig Berry)
83 - Fixing ECHO on dmake.

91 from filenames in ExtUtils::Installed. (Jesper Naur)
93 # There was no 6.06, I jumped straight to 6.10_XX because there's been
94 # so much change between 6.05 and now.
96 6.06_05 Mon Mar 31 02:44:11 PST 2003
97 - Syncing into bleadperl. Minor nits revealed...
98 - AutoSplit open filehandle bug was fixed in bleadperl. Averted a
99 warning because of this.
100 - hint files were only being loaded if . happened to be in @INC.
101 A bug/feature of File::Spec was stripping off the current dir from
102 the front of hintfile paths causing Perl to look for them in @INC.
104 - Now checking $! for errors if a hint file returns undef
105 - compile test was testing all of perl! Scaling back to just ExtUtils/
107 6.06_04 Sun Mar 30 20:34:39 PST 2003
108 - Now looking for ExtUtils::xsubpp through @INC rather than just
109 the perl core directories. This helps ExtUtils::ParseXS.
110 - Systems which don't put their libraries under their $Config{prefix}
111 (OS X, Debian) weren't putting their libraries in the spot declared
112 in Config. It was going under $Config{prefix}.
113 - Prerequisites check now deals better with X.Y_Z style alpha versions
114 - ExtUtils::Liblist->ext() was using $Config{perllibs} which is a 5.6.1
115 thing. Falling back to $Config{libs} if perllibs isn't there.
116 - ExtUtils::Command::MM now reads from @ARGV if called with no
117 args. Makes the one liner a bit simpler.
118 * Restored ExtUtils::Liblist::ext() for backwards compatibility.
120 - Switching to relative dirs for self-building to shorten
121 command line lengths.
122 - Fixing minor test warning on VMS when compiling ExtUtils::Manifest
123 - Skipping STDIN read prompt() tests on 5.5.3. Can't test due to
124 eof() not honor tied handles.
125 - Config.pm on 5.5.3 doesn't have any concept of vendor*. This was
126 causing warnings when generating the Makefile.
128 6.06_03 Sat Mar 29 19:44:53 PST 2003
129 - Added AUTHOR and ABSTRACT_FROM info for ppd generation.
130 - Added echo() method to portably echo text to a file.
131 - Worked around 5.8.0 eval 'require Foo::Bar' bug causing MakeMaker
132 to think modules weren't installed.
133 - Modernized VMS doc_*_install targets
134 - Changed some $(PERL) -e "print ..." code to use $(ECHO).
135 - Replaced uses of Delete/NoLog/NoConfirm with $(RM_F) in MM_VMS
136 - Fixed some duplicate macros making MMS happy.
137 - Fixed $ExtUtils::MM_VMS::Revision. It was just the $VERSION before.
138 - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::MM::perllocal_install(), uninstall(),
139 warn_if_old_packlist().
140 * Pulling File::Spec::VMS::fixpath() and eliminate_macros() into MM_VMS
141 as the new cannonical location. They never should have been in F::S
143 * ExtUtils::Command::eqtime() would truncate the file being equalized!
144 Holdover from exclusive .exists usage.
145 - Cleaned up hard coded 'echo' and '@' to $(ECHO) and $(NOECHO)
146 - $(SAY) is now $(ECHO) on VMS
147 - Moved rogue initializations from tools_other() to init_others()
148 - Normalized MM_VMS's tools_other() to mostly use its superclass.
149 - split_command() was off-by-one when calculating max command line
150 lengths causing it to run over on VMS
151 - made split_command() a bit smarter, taking into account some macro
153 - Fixed initialization of OBJECT, DISTNAME and LDFROM on VMS
154 - Fixed *_install target uses of File::Spec.
155 - Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish wrapper around vmsish so MM_VMS
156 can be compiled on non-VMS machines. For testing.
157 * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial about writing modules with
159 - Removed "always use h2xs" dogma.
160 - Added compile & POD test
161 * 'make distdir' now generates META.yml module meta-data file.
162 Proof of concept. Have to syncronize with Module::Build.
163 * Added maniadd() to ExtUtils::Manifest to add entries to the MANIFEST
164 * ExtUtils::Command::chmod was not interpreting file permissions as
165 octal. Also, docs & tests slightly wrong (thanks Stas Bekman).
166 - ExtUtils::Install was hard coding blib/lib and blib/arch, unportable
169 6.06_02 Mon Dec 23 20:39:57 PST 2002
170 * Lots of Win32 fixes busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01.
171 * split_command() tests still not happy on Win32. Problems with
172 shell vs Makefile escaping makes testing difficult.
173 * VMS still broken. Need to convert File::Spec method calls back to
174 object method calls so the weird FS::VMS->eliminate_macros() and
175 fixpath() work again.
177 6.06_01 Thu Dec 19 00:14:49 PST 2002
178 - Andreas found that when building the core it is desirable for
179 MakeMaker to use a relative path to perl.
180 - File::Spec->catfile() has a bug where the resulting file may not be
181 canonicalized. This was causing problems when generating manpaths.
182 MakeMaker now uses its own fixed override for catfile().
183 - Fixed the POD recognition regex to properly catch /=head\d/ tags.
184 * Added a PATCHING guideline document.
185 - Updated the class hierarchy in NOTES.
186 - Installed.t now cleans up after itself better.
187 - Steve Purkis rewrote the manifypods system to use Pod::Man
188 rather than pod2man. Its now portable and manifypods() moved from
189 MM_Unix to MM_Any. As a result, lots of icky and redudant code went
190 away. This also removes the POD2MAN macro, but noone should be
192 - "make manifypods" now works on Win32
193 - "make manifypods" is now be faster
194 - Made MM_Unix->find_perl more portable. Eliminated MM_Win32->find_perl
195 override. MM_VMS->find_perl remains.
196 * find_perl() can now handle filenames with spaces in them (RT448)
197 * find_perl() on Win32 no longer produces spurious "File Creation error"
198 messages (perlbug ID 20020709.001)
199 - Removed unfinished and unused maybe_command_in_dirs()
200 - Removed dead SelfLoader cruft from MM_Unix.

209 - Added MAKEFILE_OLD macro.
210 * No longer generating man pages by default on VMS.
211 - Improved DISTNAME docs
212 * Documented DISTVNAME and VERSION_SYM
214 - Seperated dist_core() into dist, tardist, uutardist, tarfile,
215 zipdist, zipfile and shdist_target methods. Allows elimination
216 of redundant code in MM_VMS.
217 - Replaced WARN_IF_OLD_PACKLIST, DOC_INSTALL and UNINSTALL
218 one-liners with ExtUtils::Command::MM functions
219 - Replaced VMS hand-rolled perl code for TOUCH, CHMOD, RM_F and RM_RF
220 with ExtUtils::Command functions. Added TEST_F.
221 - Adding clean_subdirs target and clean_subdirs_target() method to
222 generate same. This allows easier overriding of an unportable part
224 - Defined DEV_NULL for MacOS
225 - Removed ROOTEXT from MM_MacOS, apparently unused
226 - Added $(DIRFILESEP) macro and init_DIRFILESEP to avoid
227 hardcoding / or \. Reduces code duplication in the MM_* modules.
228 - Added init_platform() and platform_constants() for OS specific
229 macros. Moved OS specific macros from constants() overrides there.
230 - Added init_VERSION() to setup various *VERSION* macros.
231 - Added default wraplist() to make porting easier.
232 - Added makemakerdflt_target() to guarantee 'all' is the default
234 - Added special_targets() to handle things like .PHONY and make sure
236 - Added init_linker() to initialize linker relatied macros.
237 - MM_MacOS constants() disolves
238 Moved MACPERL_SRC, MACPERL_LIB, MACPERL_INC from init_main() to
240 Moved DEFINE and INC tweaking from constants() to init_main()
241 Moved DEFINE_VERSION & XS_DEFINE_VERSION from constants() to
243 Eliminated MODULES. Unused and its the same as TO_INST_PM
244 Moved .INCLUDE from constants() to special_targets()
246 - MM_NW5 constants() & init_others() disolves
247 Moved LIBPTH, BASE_IMPORT, NLM_VERSION, MPKTOOL, TOOLPATH from
248 init_others() to init_platform()
249 Moved INCLUDE and PATH definitions from constants() to
251 Moved BOOT_SYMBOL, NLM_SHORT_NAME, PATH and INCLUDE from
252 constants() to init_platform()
254 - MM_Unix constants() goes on a diet
255 Moved all macro definitions to init_* methods.
256 Added MM_REVISION for completeness
257 Using wraplist() instead of manual joining
258 Moved .NO_CONFIG_REC, .SUFFIXES and .PHONY to special_targets()
259 Moved makemakerdflt: to makemakerdeflt_target()
260 Moved INST_{STATIC,DYNAMIC,BOOT} to init_INST()
261 Moved EXPORT_LIST, PERL_ARCHIVE & PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER to init_linker().
262 Moved PERL_MALLOC_DEF to init_platform()

265 Moved DEFINE from constants() to init_main()
266 Moved OBJECT & LDFROM from constants() to init_others()
267 Moved MM_VMS_REVISION and PERL_VMS to init_platform
269 Moved DEFINE_VERSION, XS_DEFINE_VERSION and MAKEMAKER changes to
271 Moved .SUFFIXES changes to special_targets() override.
272 Eliminated $self->{PM_TO_BLIB}. Its redundant with $self->{PM}.
273 constants() now consists only of fixpath() calls.
275 - MM_Win32 constants() goes away
276 Moved .USESHELL to special_targets() override.
277 Everything else was redundant.
279 - Added $(VERSION_FROM) to $(MAKEFILE) dependencies. Helpful for
280 XS builds where the version number is very sensitive.
281 - export_list(), perl_archive() and perl_archive_after() consolodated
283 - Added MM_NW5_VERSION, MM_Unix_VERSION, MM_Win32_VERSION,

292 unportable part of the realclean target.
293 - Added oneliner() to create portable perl one-liners.
294 - Craig Berry found some typos in ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid's VMS part
295 * ExtUtils::Install did not work on MacPerl due to a hardcoded '.'
296 * prompt() will now read from STDIN.
297 - Craig Berry made sure extliblist() is always called even if LIBS
298 is explicitly set to empty.
299 * Added DESTDIR to make repacking easier.
300 * $(*PREFIX) are returned to the INSTALL* variables.
301 * Split $(PREFIX) into $(PERLPREFIX) and $(PREFIX). The former
302 holds the location of the core libraries. The latter is the
303 optional override prefix supplied by the user.
304 * PREFIX overrides all other *PREFIXes when set in the Makefile.PL.
305 This restores "make install PREFIX=foo".
306 - Added quote_literal() to handle some shell quoting.
307 - ExtUtils::MM_VMS now compilable on non-VMS platforms.
308 - J. D. Laub made MakeMaker honor $Config{installstyle}
309 - Renaming on OS/2 requires the target file to be removed.
310 Partially fixed by Ilya, should be applied universally later.
311 - Default MANIFEST.SKIP not catching files in subdirs. Fixed by Ilya.
312 - Ilya fixed ExtUtils::Liblist->ext when called outside MakeMaker.

320 - Added split_command() and max_exec_len() to deal with long
322 - Seperated escape_newlines() from quote_literal(). This may
324 - pm_to_blib() now generated with split_command(). 3x speedup.
325 - added init_dist() to initialize distribution constants
326 - ExtUtils::Install::pm_to_blib() working around open filehandle
327 bug in AutoSplit for systems with mandatory file locking.
329 6.05 Tue Aug 27 16:09:51 PDT 2002
330 - Output format of the hint file verbose diagnostic is now in
331 a format native to the OS, so it broke a test on non-Unixen.
333 6.04 Mon Aug 26 18:31:11 PDT 2002
334 - Little fix for pre-5.8 Cygwin test to get the shared library names

346 - Support OPTIMIZE in MacOS (bleadperl 17347)
347 - Support hints in MacOS (mutation of bleadperl 17347)
348 * Default man installation directories were using $(MAN*EXT) to
349 generate the directory name. This turned out to be wrong more
350 often than right, so we'll use man1 and man3 hard-coded.
351 - Debian folks fixed the doc_install targets so the Appending
352 diagnostic gives the correct directory for perllocal.pod
353 * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ
354 - Quieted some warnings on MacOS (bleadperl 17669)
356 6.03 Wed Jun 19 17:06:14 EDT 2002
357 - Documented that we're clamping down on cargo-cult MakeMaker
359 - Eased up the parameter verification to leave errant values alone.
360 - Doug MacEachern documented LDDLFLAGS and added to known parameters.
361 - Possible fix for XS compiles on Cygwin for pre 5.8 perls.

376 post_initialize() now used, DEFINE & INC work with relative paths,
377 removed dead hybrid method/function call code.
378 * WriteMakefile now a bit more tolerant of wrong arguments, it will
379 warn and try to soldier on rather than just vomiting.
380 - Netware whitespace nits (bleadperl@16811)
381 - Netware Perl version number tag when building dynamic libraries
382 needs to match the current perl version instead of being hard coded
383 (a mutation of bleadperl@16851)
384 - OS/2 bug in TEST_F target found by John Poltorak (bleadperl@16839)

462 * Fixed PREFIXification so it works on VMS.
463 - Fixed INSTALLMAN*DIR=none on VMS.
464 * NetWare fixes (bleadperl@16076)
465 - Craig Berry fixed some macro corruption on VMS.
466 - Systems configured to not have man pages now honored thanks to
468 - Hack to allow 5.6.X versions of ExtUtils::Embed use MY implicitly.
469 - Moved use of glob out of MM_Unix so MacPerl could build
472 - Shortening directory levels to accomodate old VMS's
473 - was using a slightly wrong prefix for the prefix tests
476 - Documenting VERBINST
478 5.90_01 Thu Apr 11 01:11:54 EDT 2002
480 * Implementation of the new PREFIX logic.
481 * Added new INSTALL targets:
483 INSTALLSITEMAN1DIR INSTALLSITEMAN3DIR
484 INSTALLVENDORMAN1DIR INSTALLVENDORMAN3DIR
485 INSTALLVENDORBIN INSTALLVENDORLIB INSTALLVENDORARCH
486 SITEPREFIX VENDORPREFIX
487 * INSTALLDIRS=site now properly using $Config{siteprefixexp}
488 (Thieved from Debian. Thanks!)
489 * Added INSTALLDIRS=vendor & support for vendor directories
490 (Thieved from Debian. Thanks!)
493 - nmake syntax nits from Mattia Barbon
494 - ExtUtils::Packlist fix for files with spaces in them from Jan Dubois
496 - Old, old, old dmake bug in MM_Win32->pm_to_blib fixed by Nick
500 - Purging leftover PDP compiler flags.
502 5.55_03 Sat Apr 6 21:57:01 EST 2002
503 - Reversing "fix" for RT 444. It wasn't really fixed and it
504 caused havoc with Compress::Zlib and Tk.
506 5.55_02 Sat Apr 6 03:09:15 EST 2002
508 - Craig Berry fixed install on VMS (again, I munged the last patch)
509 - MakeMaker might not be recognizing it's in PERL_SRC on Win32.
511 - For some reason MM_VMS was using $Config{arch} instead of
513 - Fix (well, hack) for creating ABSPERL on VMS.
514 - Quieting some warnings revealed by ExtUtils::Constant
515 - test_via_script had a typo and forgot INST_ARCHLIB
518 - INST.t has to tell MakeMaker it's in the PERL_CORE
519 - Fixing expected values of INST_* when building the core.
521 5.55_01 Thu Apr 4 23:58:06 EST 2002
523 * Long deprecated INST_EXE completely removed.
524 - Removing TEST_LIBS constant (never seen in a stable MM anyway)
525 - Added $default argument to prefixify() for safer prefixification.
528 - $mm->{PERM_*} were not being set
529 - fixin() redundantly chmod'ing scripts. Let the Makefile do that.
530 - The above means MM_Unix will now compile cleanly under strict
531 * init_dirscan's search for Makefile.PL's will no longer look
533 * Fixed running tests when there are t/'s in subdirs.
534 - MM_DOS inheriting from MM_Unix instead of MM_Win32. DJGPP
535 appears to be unix-like (bleadperl@15650)
536 - Escaping constants with # in them so they're not confused as
537 make comments (bleadperl)
538 * ExtUtils::MM_Win95 didn't return a true value
539 - Fixing disttest when perl is a relative path.
540 * Fixed disttest & tests in subdirs on Win95
541 - Fixed recursive Makefile.PL scan on VMS so it skips the distdir
542 - Fixed a bug when an alternative MAKEFILE is specified and you're
543 using something other than a Makefile.PL (RT 444)
544 - Quieting uninit warning when there are no tests.
547 - Documented INSTALLMAN*DIR == 'none' feature.
550 - Paul Green's which_perl patch to build a proper Perl on systems
551 that use command extensions.
552 - basic.t's Makefile.PL PREFIX call wasn't properly quoted for VMS
554 - little initialization glitch in MM_Win32.t
557 - INST_* constants moved to init_INST
558 - INSTALL* constants moved to inst_INSTALL
559 * Internal warning supression removed.
560 - Temporarily turning off SelfLoader in MM_Unix so warnings
561 have the right line numbers.
563 5.54_01 Sat Mar 30 02:32:44 EST 2002
565 * Added FULLPERLRUN and FULLPERLRUNINST
568 - hint files were made a little too noisy in 5.53_01
571 - adjusting for NFS time drift
572 - basic.t was finding the wrong perl in the core
575 - FULLPERL* PERL* setup moved to init_PERL
577 5.53_02 Fri Mar 29 04:47:44 EST 2002
578 - Adjusted for Perl core. Synced into bleadperl.
580 5.53_01 Fri Mar 29 00:13:02 EST 2002
582 - Removed duplicate NAME macro definition
583 - Fixed makemakerdflt target for VMS
584 * bleadperl@11460 introduced a bug with recursive Makefile.PL's not
585 having '.' in @INC. PDL should build now.
586 * MANIFEST.SKIP only working on file names, not full relative paths.
587 Only since 5.51_01 (RT 413)
588 * make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 was busted by 5.50_01 (RT 423)
589 * Error messages from dying Makefile.PL's and hint files were
590 accidentally supressed in 5.48_04. Fixed.
591 * Makefile.PL's are supposed to be run in package main. 5.48_04
593 * Fixing installing on VMS.
595 5.52_01 Tue Mar 26 00:24:26 EST 2002
597 * ActivePerl 5.6.1/build 631 now 100%
598 - Fixed some SelfLoader warnings
599 * ExtUtils::MM_Win32 not subclassed off of ExtUtils::MM_Any properly
600 - Bug in local $ENV{FOO} was causing failures in MM_Win32 tests.
601 Compensating for the bug.
602 - $Config{prefixexp} is sometimes bad on ActivePerl, compensating
603 - Accidentally left htmlifypods tests in MM_Win32 tests
606 - Expanding Known Good list
607 - Adding Known Programs to README
609 5.51_01 Mon Mar 18 01:37:02 EST 2002
611 - Removing xsubpp and typemap from the distribution. These are not
612 Perl version independent files and should not be upgraded.
613 - Removing ExtUtils::Embed. Version specific module and should
615 - Removing ExtUtils::Constant. Not directly tied to MakeMaker.
616 Will be distributed seperately by Nick Clark.
619 * realclean now deletes 'dist' directory.
622 * Fixing ExtUtils::Installed for VMS
623 * Fixed it so MakeMaker can build itself without needing an eariler
625 * Fixed ExtUtils::Installed so packlists work on VMS
626 * ExtUtils::MM_VMS test had a stupid typo that prevented most
627 of the tests from running.
628 - Fixing VMS so 'mmk' is always 'mmk all' (bleadperl 15218)
629 - ExtUtils::MM_Any->catfile was calling catdir
630 - Added Ken William's "speed up ExtUtils::Manifest" patch.
631 - Added Nick Clark's return value of manifest routines patch
633 - Merging in bleadperl changes (14438, 14453, 14611, 14612, 14622,
634 14655, 14677, 14688, 14902, 15023, 15187, 15367)
635 - bleadperl change 15325 (VMS 'mmk all' hack) rejected.
636 - ExtUtils::MM_Any->test_via_harness() now using -MExtUtils::testlib
637 instead of -I's. This keeps the command line shorter on VMS, but
638 it means TEST_LIB doesn't work anymore. May prove problematic.
639 - PERLRUN now uses FULLPERL instead of PERL. This avoids
640 accidental use of miniperl. May cause problems in the core.
641 - Fixed test_via_harness() on VMS so it uses PERLRUN.
642 - ExtUtils::Manifest wrongly handling MANIFEST on VMS.
643 - ExtUtils::Manifest::maniskip broken due to misuse of /o on a regex.
645 5.50_01 Mon Mar 4 23:44:48 EST 2002
647 - htmlifypods and all HTML targets have been removed. It didn't
648 work properly. A target for HTMLifying of docs will be
649 added sometime in the future (read: send a patch).
650 - Deprecated ROOTEXT variable removed (its been deprecated for
651 more than five years).
652 - Removed ExtUtils::Miniperl from the CPAN distribution. Can't
653 see how its useful outside the core.
656 * Emacs backup files (ie. *~) are no longer copied into blib
657 (this means you won't get Foo.pm~ accidentally installed anymore).
658 - prefixify() now returns if the prefixification worked or not.
659 - added the Perl patchlevel info to the description embedded in DLLs
660 (Ilya Zakharevich perl change 14810)
663 * 5.49_01 broke anything that depended on the MM class to be loaded
664 with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, like CPAN. Temporarily fixed.
665 * Many places wrongfully assume MM methods can be called as class
666 methods! Inside and outside of MakeMaker.
667 * DOS now acts like Win32 instead of Unix. This should be less wrong.
668 - Netware tweak from Ananth Kesari (perl change 14780)
671 * made the docs about the behavior of PREFIX a bit more vague
672 reflecting its odd behavior.
673 - Replaced references to %Config with things people are more likely
674 to understand in PREFIX & LIB docs.
675 - Put PREFIX before LIB in the docs.
677 [[ Internal Refactorings ]]
678 - File::Spec wrappers consolidated in MM_Any
679 - test_via_harness/script consolidated in MM_Any
680 * Added ExtUtils::Command::MM to replace large -e "one-liners"
681 * Added ExtUtils::MM_UWIN, took UWIN specific code out of MM_Unix.
682 * Added ExtUtils::MM_DOS, took some DOS specific code out of MM_Unix
683 - Added a dist() override to MM_OS2.
684 - Took the OS/2 specific code out of MM_Unix's dist()
685 - Starting to quote as many command line switches as possible
686 to make VMS have to override less of MM_Unix.
688 5.49_01 Mon Feb 4 00:42:40 EST 2002
689 - Default TEST_LIBS now contains absolute paths, so tests can
690 chdir without breaking @INC.
691 - Some bug fixes in MM_Win32 were missing in MM_NW5.
692 - LLIBPERL was not being set.
693 - Gisle Aas fixed a warning in prompt when the user hits ctrl-D
694 or pipes STDIN to /dev/null.
695 - VMS's test is now a proper ->can check.
696 - Stray newline in Command.t causing havoc (bleadperl 14441)
698 * Lots of internal changes. Everything from here on is an internal
700 - Broke ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid out into its own .pm. Temporary.
701 - Broke MM and MY out into their own .pm's. Possibly temporary.
702 - Broke ExtUtils::MM_Win95 out of ExtUtils::MM_Win32. MM_Win95
703 is now an MM_Win32 subclass.
704 - Removed wrapper methods from ExtUtils::Liblist that were
705 defering File::Spec loading. Almost everything uses File::Spec
706 - Changed most of the 'our's to 'use vars' in prep for 5.005_03
708 - Changed ExtUtils::MakeMaker->import(...) cargo-cultery in MM_*
709 modules to proper "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(...)"
710 - All non-Unix MM_* modules now directly inherit from MM_Unix.
711 They did this before, but in a round-about way.
712 - MM_* modules no longer directly muck with @MM::ISA. Instead
713 @MM::ISA does that itself.
714 - Removed unnecessary require of Exporter in many MM_* modules.
715 - MM_Cygwin was using an MM_Unix function directly without have
716 explicitly required MM_Unix.
717 - Most of MM_NW5 was redundant with MM_Win32. So MM_NW5 is now
718 a subclass of Win32 and the reduendant code has been deleted.
719 - Replaced lots of calls to File::Spec->updir, curdir and rootdir
720 with a global in MM_Unix. Should make things a bit faster.
721 - Untabified ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I hate tabs.
722 - "Which MM subclass should I use" logic moved from EU::MakeMaker
724 - Deprecated EU::MakeMaker::Version_check deleted.
726 5.48_04 Mon Jan 21 19:28:38 EST 2002
727 - No longer requiring Test::More
728 - Now tested to work with a clean 5.6.1
729 - Stripped out $Revision based $VERSIONs.
730 - Rolled in patches from p5p, vmsperl & VOS (14325, 14338, 14360, 14364)
731 * hint files now run in a safer context. Only $self is available.
732 - ExtUtils::testlib now provides absolute paths into @INC.
736 5.48_03 Thu Jan 17 23:44:38 EST 2002
737 * moved bin/inst to bin/instmodsh
738 * Some Win32 backporting fixes. The -x switch doesn't seem to
740 * Bug on Win32. MAKEMAKER variable not set properly.
741 * _02 broke hints files. Now fixed.
742 - Minor prereq error formatting glitch
743 - ExtUtils::testlib no longer a thin wrapper around blib, now a
744 thin wrapper around lib like it was. blib is noisy on 5.6.1.
745 - Nick and chromatic found and fixed some warnings in the tests
747 5.48_02 Wed Jan 16 19:11:26 EST 2002
748 - Fixed some Win32 warnings. Needs more work.
750 5.48_01 Wed Jan 16 15:10:28 EST 2002
751 * Adapted from bleadperl@14303
752 * Backported to 5.6.1
753 - inst and xsubpp moved out of lib/ and into bin/
754 - ExtUtils::testlib obsoleted. Now a thin wrapper around blib.pm
755 ***--> Non-Unix platforms not tested at all! Please test and report
756 back. Tests probably only need minor fixes.
