+ - Syncing into bleadperl. Minor nits revealed...
+ - AutoSplit open filehandle bug was fixed in bleadperl. Averted a
+ warning because of this.
+ - hint files were only being loaded if . happened to be in @INC.
+ A bug/feature of File::Spec was stripping off the current dir from
+ the front of hintfile paths causing Perl to look for them in @INC.
+ Worked around.
+ - Now checking $! for errors if a hint file returns undef
+ - compile test was testing all of perl! Scaling back to just ExtUtils/
+
+6.06_04 Sun Mar 30 20:34:39 PST 2003
+ - Now looking for ExtUtils::xsubpp through @INC rather than just
+ the perl core directories. This helps ExtUtils::ParseXS.
+ - Systems which don't put their libraries under their $Config{prefix}
+ (OS X, Debian) weren't putting their libraries in the spot declared
+ in Config. It was going under $Config{prefix}.
+ - Prerequisites check now deals better with X.Y_Z style alpha versions
+ - ExtUtils::Liblist->ext() was using $Config{perllibs} which is a 5.6.1
+ thing. Falling back to $Config{libs} if perllibs isn't there.
+ - ExtUtils::Command::MM now reads from @ARGV if called with no
+ args. Makes the one liner a bit simpler.
+ * Restored ExtUtils::Liblist::ext() for backwards compatibility.
+ Missing since 5.6.1.
+ - Switching to relative dirs for self-building to shorten
+ command line lengths.
+ - Fixing minor test warning on VMS when compiling ExtUtils::Manifest
+ - Skipping STDIN read prompt() tests on 5.5.3. Can't test due to
+ eof() not honor tied handles.
+ - Config.pm on 5.5.3 doesn't have any concept of vendor*. This was
+ causing warnings when generating the Makefile.
+
+6.06_03 Sat Mar 29 19:44:53 PST 2003

+ - Changed some $(PERL) -e "print ..." code to use $(ECHO).
+ - Replaced uses of Delete/NoLog/NoConfirm with $(RM_F) in MM_VMS
+ - Fixed some duplicate macros making MMS happy.
+ - Fixed $ExtUtils::MM_VMS::Revision. It was just the $VERSION before.
+ - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::MM::perllocal_install(), uninstall(),
+ warn_if_old_packlist().
+ * Pulling File::Spec::VMS::fixpath() and eliminate_macros() into MM_VMS
+ as the new cannonical location. They never should have been in F::S
+ in the first place.
+ * ExtUtils::Command::eqtime() would truncate the file being equalized!
+ Holdover from exclusive .exists usage.
+ - Cleaned up hard coded 'echo' and '@' to $(ECHO) and $(NOECHO)
+ - $(SAY) is now $(ECHO) on VMS
+ - Moved rogue initializations from tools_other() to init_others()
+ - Normalized MM_VMS's tools_other() to mostly use its superclass.
+ - split_command() was off-by-one when calculating max command line
+ lengths causing it to run over on VMS
+ - made split_command() a bit smarter, taking into account some macro
+ expansion
+ - Fixed initialization of OBJECT, DISTNAME and LDFROM on VMS
+ - Fixed *_install target uses of File::Spec.
+ - Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish wrapper around vmsish so MM_VMS
+ can be compiled on non-VMS machines. For testing.
+ * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial about writing modules with
+ MakeMaker.
+ - Removed "always use h2xs" dogma.
+ - Added compile & POD test
+ * 'make distdir' now generates META.yml module meta-data file.
+ Proof of concept. Have to syncronize with Module::Build.
+ * Added maniadd() to ExtUtils::Manifest to add entries to the MANIFEST
+ * ExtUtils::Command::chmod was not interpreting file permissions as
+ octal. Also, docs & tests slightly wrong (thanks Stas Bekman).
+ - ExtUtils::Install was hard coding blib/lib and blib/arch, unportable
+ [perl #21526]
+
+6.06_02 Mon Dec 23 20:39:57 PST 2002
+ * Lots of Win32 fixes busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01.
+ * split_command() tests still not happy on Win32. Problems with
+ shell vs Makefile escaping makes testing difficult.
+ * VMS still broken. Need to convert File::Spec method calls back to
+ object method calls so the weird FS::VMS->eliminate_macros() and
+ fixpath() work again.
+
+6.06_01 Thu Dec 19 00:14:49 PST 2002
+ - Andreas found that when building the core it is desirable for
+ MakeMaker to use a relative path to perl.
+ - File::Spec->catfile() has a bug where the resulting file may not be
+ canonicalized. This was causing problems when generating manpaths.
+ MakeMaker now uses its own fixed override for catfile().
+ - Fixed the POD recognition regex to properly catch /=head\d/ tags.
+ * Added a PATCHING guideline document.
+ - Updated the class hierarchy in NOTES.
+ - Installed.t now cleans up after itself better.
+ - Steve Purkis rewrote the manifypods system to use Pod::Man
+ rather than pod2man. Its now portable and manifypods() moved from
+ MM_Unix to MM_Any. As a result, lots of icky and redudant code went
+ away. This also removes the POD2MAN macro, but noone should be
+ using that.
+ - "make manifypods" now works on Win32
+ - "make manifypods" is now be faster
+ - Made MM_Unix->find_perl more portable. Eliminated MM_Win32->find_perl
+ override. MM_VMS->find_perl remains.

+ - Removed dead SelfLoader cruft from MM_Unix.
+ - Fixed PPD generation when the ppd contains quotes (RT1473)
+ - Fixed PPD generation on VMS
+ - Moved Win9x specific subdir_x() code from MM_Unix to MM_Win95
+ * Craig Berry fixed hint files on VMS
+ - Added the perl_onliner() method to generate portable, safe one-liners
+ - Changing hardcoded $self->{MAKEFILE} to $(FIRST_MAKEFILE).
+ * Rafael Garcia-Suarez made MakeMaker ignore Subversion control files
+ by default.
+ - Added MAKEFILE_OLD macro.
+ * No longer generating man pages by default on VMS.
+ - Improved DISTNAME docs
+ * Documented DISTVNAME and VERSION_SYM
+ * Documented dist()
+ - Seperated dist_core() into dist, tardist, uutardist, tarfile,
+ zipdist, zipfile and shdist_target methods. Allows elimination
+ of redundant code in MM_VMS.
+ - Replaced WARN_IF_OLD_PACKLIST, DOC_INSTALL and UNINSTALL
+ one-liners with ExtUtils::Command::MM functions
+ - Replaced VMS hand-rolled perl code for TOUCH, CHMOD, RM_F and RM_RF
+ with ExtUtils::Command functions. Added TEST_F.
+ - Adding clean_subdirs target and clean_subdirs_target() method to
+ generate same. This allows easier overriding of an unportable part
+ of the clean target.
+ - Defined DEV_NULL for MacOS
+ - Removed ROOTEXT from MM_MacOS, apparently unused
+ - Added $(DIRFILESEP) macro and init_DIRFILESEP to avoid
+ hardcoding / or \. Reduces code duplication in the MM_* modules.
+ - Added init_platform() and platform_constants() for OS specific
+ macros. Moved OS specific macros from constants() overrides there.
+ - Added init_VERSION() to setup various *VERSION* macros.
+ - Added default wraplist() to make porting easier.
+ - Added makemakerdflt_target() to guarantee 'all' is the default
+ target.
+ - Added special_targets() to handle things like .PHONY and make sure
+ they come first.
+ - Added init_linker() to initialize linker relatied macros.
+ - MM_MacOS constants() disolves
+ Moved MACPERL_SRC, MACPERL_LIB, MACPERL_INC from init_main() to
+ init_platform().
+ Moved DEFINE and INC tweaking from constants() to init_main()
+ Moved DEFINE_VERSION & XS_DEFINE_VERSION from constants() to
+ init_VERSION().
+ Eliminated MODULES. Unused and its the same as TO_INST_PM
+ Moved .INCLUDE from constants() to special_targets()
+
+ - MM_NW5 constants() & init_others() disolves
+ Moved LIBPTH, BASE_IMPORT, NLM_VERSION, MPKTOOL, TOOLPATH from
+ init_others() to init_platform()
+ Moved INCLUDE and PATH definitions from constants() to
+ init_platform()
+ Moved BOOT_SYMBOL, NLM_SHORT_NAME, PATH and INCLUDE from
+ constants() to init_platform()
+
+ - MM_Unix constants() goes on a diet
+ Moved all macro definitions to init_* methods.
+ Added MM_REVISION for completeness
+ Using wraplist() instead of manual joining
+ Moved .NO_CONFIG_REC, .SUFFIXES and .PHONY to special_targets()
+ Moved makemakerdflt: to makemakerdeflt_target()
+ Moved INST_{STATIC,DYNAMIC,BOOT} to init_INST()
+ Moved EXPORT_LIST, PERL_ARCHIVE & PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER to init_linker().
+ Moved PERL_MALLOC_DEF to init_platform()
+
+ - MM_VMS constants() goes on a diet
+ Moved DEFINE from constants() to init_main()
+ Moved OBJECT & LDFROM from constants() to init_others()
+ Moved MM_VMS_REVISION and PERL_VMS to init_platform
+ Added MM_VMS_VERSION
+ Moved DEFINE_VERSION, XS_DEFINE_VERSION and MAKEMAKER changes to
+ init_VERSION
+ Moved .SUFFIXES changes to special_targets() override.
+ Eliminated $self->{PM_TO_BLIB}. Its redundant with $self->{PM}.
+ constants() now consists only of fixpath() calls.
+
+ - MM_Win32 constants() goes away
+ Moved .USESHELL to special_targets() override.
+ Everything else was redundant.
+
+ - Added $(VERSION_FROM) to $(MAKEFILE) dependencies. Helpful for
+ XS builds where the version number is very sensitive.
+ - export_list(), perl_archive() and perl_archive_after() consolodated
+ into init_linker().
+ - Added MM_NW5_VERSION, MM_Unix_VERSION, MM_Win32_VERSION,
+ MM_VMS_VERSION.
+ - Eliminated duplicate code in constants() overrides
+ - Added all_target() for easier customization of what's run by default
+ - Eliminated duplicate top_targets() overrides
+ - Made tool_autosplit() method portable. Moved to MM_Any. Eliminated
+ overrides.
+ - Adding realclean_subdirs target and realclean_subdirs_target()
+ method to generate same. This allows easier overriding of an
+ unportable part of the realclean target.
+ - Added oneliner() to create portable perl one-liners.
+ - Craig Berry found some typos in ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid's VMS part
+ * ExtUtils::Install did not work on MacPerl due to a hardcoded '.'
+ * prompt() will now read from STDIN.
+ - Craig Berry made sure extliblist() is always called even if LIBS
+ is explicitly set to empty.
+ * Added DESTDIR to make repacking easier.
+ * $(*PREFIX) are returned to the INSTALL* variables.
+ * Split $(PREFIX) into $(PERLPREFIX) and $(PREFIX). The former
+ holds the location of the core libraries. The latter is the
+ optional override prefix supplied by the user.
+ * PREFIX overrides all other *PREFIXes when set in the Makefile.PL.
+ This restores "make install PREFIX=foo".
+ - Added quote_literal() to handle some shell quoting.
+ - ExtUtils::MM_VMS now compilable on non-VMS platforms.
+ - J. D. Laub made MakeMaker honor $Config{installstyle}
+ - Renaming on OS/2 requires the target file to be removed.
+ Partially fixed by Ilya, should be applied universally later.
+ - Default MANIFEST.SKIP not catching files in subdirs. Fixed by Ilya.
+ - Ilya fixed ExtUtils::Liblist->ext when called outside MakeMaker.
+ - realclean was duplicating work already done by clean
+ - Adding an explicit LICENSE
+ - Cleaning up ExtUtils::Install docs.
+ - ExtUtils::Install::uninstall() now has default verbose and
+ dont_execute arguments.
+ - Added some basic ExtUtils::Install tests
+ - Fixed ExtUtils::Install::install() for relative dirs
+ - Added split_command() and max_exec_len() to deal with long
+ commands.
+ - Seperated escape_newlines() from quote_literal(). This may
+ be pointless.
+ - pm_to_blib() now generated with split_command(). 3x speedup.
+ - added init_dist() to initialize distribution constants
+ - ExtUtils::Install::pm_to_blib() working around open filehandle
+ bug in AutoSplit for systems with mandatory file locking.
+
+6.05 Tue Aug 27 16:09:51 PDT 2002
+ - Output format of the hint file verbose diagnostic is now in
+ a format native to the OS, so it broke a test on non-Unixen.
+
+6.04 Mon Aug 26 18:31:11 PDT 2002

+ - Support OPTIMIZE in MacOS (bleadperl 17347)
+ - Support hints in MacOS (mutation of bleadperl 17347)
+ * Default man installation directories were using $(MAN*EXT) to
+ generate the directory name. This turned out to be wrong more
+ often than right, so we'll use man1 and man3 hard-coded.
+ - Debian folks fixed the doc_install targets so the Appending
+ diagnostic gives the correct directory for perllocal.pod
+ * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ
+ - Quieted some warnings on MacOS (bleadperl 17669)
+
+6.03 Wed Jun 19 17:06:14 EDT 2002

+ instead of -I's. This keeps the command line shorter on VMS, but
+ it means TEST_LIB doesn't work anymore. May prove problematic.
+ - PERLRUN now uses FULLPERL instead of PERL. This avoids
+ accidental use of miniperl. May cause problems in the core.
+ - Fixed test_via_harness() on VMS so it uses PERLRUN.
+ - ExtUtils::Manifest wrongly handling MANIFEST on VMS.
+ - ExtUtils::Manifest::maniskip broken due to misuse of /o on a regex.

+5.50_01 Mon Mar 4 23:44:48 EST 2002
+ [[ API Changes ]]
+ - htmlifypods and all HTML targets have been removed. It didn't
+ work properly. A target for HTMLifying of docs will be
+ added sometime in the future (read: send a patch).
+ - Deprecated ROOTEXT variable removed (its been deprecated for
+ more than five years).
+ - Removed ExtUtils::Miniperl from the CPAN distribution. Can't
+ see how its useful outside the core.
+
+ [[ New Features ]]
+ * Emacs backup files (ie. *~) are no longer copied into blib
+ (this means you won't get Foo.pm~ accidentally installed anymore).
+ - prefixify() now returns if the prefixification worked or not.
+ - added the Perl patchlevel info to the description embedded in DLLs
+ (Ilya Zakharevich perl change 14810)
+
+ [[ Bug Fixes ]]
+ * 5.49_01 broke anything that depended on the MM class to be loaded
+ with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, like CPAN. Temporarily fixed.
+ * Many places wrongfully assume MM methods can be called as class
+ methods! Inside and outside of MakeMaker.
+ * DOS now acts like Win32 instead of Unix. This should be less wrong.
+ - Netware tweak from Ananth Kesari (perl change 14780)
+
+ [[ Doc Changes ]]
+ * made the docs about the behavior of PREFIX a bit more vague
+ reflecting its odd behavior.
+ - Replaced references to %Config with things people are more likely
+ to understand in PREFIX & LIB docs.
+ - Put PREFIX before LIB in the docs.
+
+ [[ Internal Refactorings ]]
+ - File::Spec wrappers consolidated in MM_Any
+ - test_via_harness/script consolidated in MM_Any
+ * Added ExtUtils::Command::MM to replace large -e "one-liners"
+ * Added ExtUtils::MM_UWIN, took UWIN specific code out of MM_Unix.
+ * Added ExtUtils::MM_DOS, took some DOS specific code out of MM_Unix
+ - Added a dist() override to MM_OS2.
+ - Took the OS/2 specific code out of MM_Unix's dist()
+ - Starting to quote as many command line switches as possible
+ to make VMS have to override less of MM_Unix.
+
+5.49_01 Mon Feb 4 00:42:40 EST 2002
+ - Default TEST_LIBS now contains absolute paths, so tests can
+ chdir without breaking @INC.
+ - Some bug fixes in MM_Win32 were missing in MM_NW5.
+ - LLIBPERL was not being set.
+ - Gisle Aas fixed a warning in prompt when the user hits ctrl-D
+ or pipes STDIN to /dev/null.
+ - VMS's test is now a proper ->can check.
+ - Stray newline in Command.t causing havoc (bleadperl 14441)
+
+ * Lots of internal changes. Everything from here on is an internal
+ change.
+ - Broke ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid out into its own .pm. Temporary.
+ - Broke MM and MY out into their own .pm's. Possibly temporary.
+ - Broke ExtUtils::MM_Win95 out of ExtUtils::MM_Win32. MM_Win95
+ is now an MM_Win32 subclass.
+ - Removed wrapper methods from ExtUtils::Liblist that were
+ defering File::Spec loading. Almost everything uses File::Spec
+ - Changed most of the 'our's to 'use vars' in prep for 5.005_03
+ backporting
+ - Changed ExtUtils::MakeMaker->import(...) cargo-cultery in MM_*
+ modules to proper "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(...)"
+ - All non-Unix MM_* modules now directly inherit from MM_Unix.
+ They did this before, but in a round-about way.
+ - MM_* modules no longer directly muck with @MM::ISA. Instead
+ @MM::ISA does that itself.
+ - Removed unnecessary require of Exporter in many MM_* modules.
+ - MM_Cygwin was using an MM_Unix function directly without have
+ explicitly required MM_Unix.
+ - Most of MM_NW5 was redundant with MM_Win32. So MM_NW5 is now
+ a subclass of Win32 and the reduendant code has been deleted.
+ - Replaced lots of calls to File::Spec->updir, curdir and rootdir
+ with a global in MM_Unix. Should make things a bit faster.
+ - Untabified ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I hate tabs.
+ - "Which MM subclass should I use" logic moved from EU::MakeMaker
+ to EU::MM.
+ - Deprecated EU::MakeMaker::Version_check deleted.
+
+5.48_04 Mon Jan 21 19:28:38 EST 2002
+ - No longer requiring Test::More
+ - Now tested to work with a clean 5.6.1
+ - Stripped out $Revision based $VERSIONs.
+ - Rolled in patches from p5p, vmsperl & VOS (14325, 14338, 14360, 14364)
+ * hint files now run in a safer context. Only $self is available.
+ - ExtUtils::testlib now provides absolute paths into @INC.
+ No longer obsolete
+ - Little test fixes
