+6.10_04 Fri May 23 01:13:04 PDT 2003
+ - Working around BSD threaading bug in version check. [from bleadperl]
+ - Added the Makefile to the dist dependencies. (Slaven Rezic)
+ - Reversing the find_perl() version check failure warning introced in
+ 6.10_03. Too talkative, warned when nothing was wrong.
+ * Fixing META.yml auto-addition when there's no newline at the end
+ of the MANIFEST [rt.cpan.org 2444]
+ * Making it a bit more obvious in the MANIFEST where META.yml comes from.
+ - Fixed $_ clobbering in ExtUtils::Manifest functions.
+ - [rt.cpan.org 2591] some LD_RUN_PATH thing (Marek Rouchal)
+ - Added core.\d+ files to 'make clean' [rt.cpan.org 2543] (Slaven Rezic)
+ - INST_* targets were expanded too early (Stas Bekman)
+ - Adding ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes (bytes.pm backwards compat wrapper)
+ - Fixing MM_MacOS so it will compile on 5.5.x machines (use bytes wrapper)
+ * Reducing perldepend set of CORE/*.h dependencies to what 5.5.3 has.
+ 5.5.3 should be able to compile XS again.
+ * Eliminating fakethr.h and perlsfio.h from VMS's perldepend as they
+ sometimes don't get installed.
+ - ExtUtils::Install was making a few directories even with the
+ "don't really do it" switch on (Slaven Rezic)
+ * can build static linked perl binaries again. Probably damaged in
+ 6.06_01 when $self->{MAKEFILE} became FIRST_MAKEFILE. (Nick Clark)
+
+6.10_03 Fri Apr 11 00:21:25 PDT 2003
+ * Added NO_META WriteMakefile() option to suppress generation of
+ META.yml. (Spoon, rt.cpan.org 2359)
+ - Spurious linebreak in uninstall_from_sitedirs on VMS (Craig Berry)
+ * A bit after 6.05 man page names would come out as lib::Foo::Bar
+ if the module name didn't contain a ::. Found with podulators.
+ Fixed.
+ * Skipping installation of RCS ,v files.
+ * 'make ci' was busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. Fixed. (Andreas)
+ - 'make test' was broken when there's no tests. Introduced in 6.06_03.
+ (Stas Bekman)
+ - Solving some directory depth problems in tests on oldish VMS systems.
+ (Craig Berry)
+ - Fixing MM_MacOS so it compiles on UTF-8 systems. (Jarkko)
+ - Making find_perl() more talkative when the version check fails
+ miserably.
+ - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE on VMS so XS can compile again (Craig Berry)
+
+6.10_02 Mon Apr 7 00:57:15 PDT 2003
+ * Removed 2>&1 experiment introduced in 6.10_01 for all non-Unixen
+ except for OS/2. Thought Perl might emulate `... 2>&1`. It doesn't.
+ Just on OS/2.
+
+6.10_01 Sun Apr 6 19:31:42 PDT 2003
+ - Making install "Skip ... (unchanged)" message happen consistently
+ - Checking file sizes as well as modification times when deciding
+ to skip installing a file.
+ - OS/2 was using $(RM) instead of $(RM_F) (Ilya)
+ - OS/2 needs .dll removed on failed build (Ilya)
+ - fixin() was assuming that rename() can overwrite the target (Ilya)
+ - manifypods target was empty if there are no pods to manify. Put in
+ at least $(NOECHO) $(NOOP)
+ - Cygwin test to check for finding pod2man when building the perl core
+ removed. No longer relevent.
+ - Small fixes for dmake (Mattia Barbon)
+ * Added "Reporting bugs" section to the PATCHING doc.
+ - Minor bug in compile test missed ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid
+ - Removing $(VERSION_FROM) from Makefile dependency. It was too
+ annoying to rebuild the Makefile every time the module changed.
+ Mentioned it in the FAQ instead.
+ - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE macro on VMS. Apparently it never appeared
+ properly before. (Craig Berry)
+ - Fixing ECHO on dmake.
+ - Adding os_flavor() and os_flavor_is()
+ - Making basic.t error output combine STDOUT & STDERR for easier
+ reading.
+ * ExtUtils::Manifest will now work case insensitively.
+ - Fixed 'subroutine redefined' warnings in 00compile.t
+ - Fixed it so typemaps are only looked for in the perl core library.
+ * Hacking around VMS filesystem problems reconstructing package names
+ from filenames in ExtUtils::Installed. (Jesper Naur)
+
+# There was no 6.06, I jumped straight to 6.10_XX because there's been
+# so much change between 6.05 and now.
