          spaces, backslashes)

1.008020 - 2013-10-03 (development release, unindexed)
        - yet another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with
          spaces, backslashes)

1.008012 - 2013-09-11
        - now handling using -Mlocal::lib in a taintperl environment, by
          ensuring that all libs in PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT are properly added to
          @INC (RT#76661, Karen Etheridge)

1.008011 - 2013-07-26

        - Fix active_paths when PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT starts with :
        - Fix ~/perl5/bin missing in $PATH
        - The environment variables definition for the shell is now output in
          a way that allows to put the generated content directly in the
          .profile without requiring to launch perl
          (the only difference is how PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT is generated)
          (Olivier Mengué).

1.008007 - 2013-02-17
        - Back to 1.008004 with Carp fix since subsequent releases were botched
        - Avoid issue where PERL5LIB Carp is older than local::lib one

1.008004 - 2011-02-24

        - Fix stackable tests on win32 by canonicalizing the path ahead of time

        - Makefile.PL avoids CPAN client configuration when not required
        - print_environment_vars_for() refactored with separate function
          environment_vars_string_for()
        - PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT environment is added to disambiguate when
          PERL_MM_OPT, etc. was set by local::lib or other means

1.007000 - 2010-12-09
        - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to
        miyagawa for pointing this out.

1.006009 - 2010-12-09

        - Split up method guess_shelltype from parts of print_environment_vars_for
        - Updated documentation about change of use with .modulebuildrc

1.006008 - 2010-11-17

        - Finally move to PERL_MB_OPT rather than using .modulebuildrc.

1.006007 - 2010-08-12

        - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
        - Documented one method in all languages

1.006006 - 2010-08-12

        - Added portuguese translation
        - Several minor fixes in the documentation
        - Changed methods look in documentation

1.006005 - 2010-07-13

        - Added support informations (also for german)
        - Fixed newline in german translation from DOS2UNIX

1.006004 - 2010-06-10

        - I am stupid.

1.006003 - 2010-06-10

        - Added german translation right

1.006002 - 2010-06-10

        - Hotfix for a search.cpan.org "Bug"

1.006001 - 2010-06-10

        - Added german translation
        - Enhanced some parts of english documentation
        - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
        - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB

1.006000 - 2010-03-31

        - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
          only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
          ever worked usefully.
        - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core

1.005001 - 2010-03-10

        - I am an idiot.

1.005000 - 2010-03-10

        - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
          should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
          and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
          capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.

        - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
          silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.

        - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
          markstos@cpan.org.

1.004009 - 2009-11-07

        - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef

        - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org

        - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
          with C<--self-contained>.

1.004008 - 2009-10-13

        - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.

        - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.

1.004007 - 2009-09-02

        - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
          them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
          same path. (t0m)

        - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.

        - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
          nice and flush, now.

1.004006 - 2009-08-25
        - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
          possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
          adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
          frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
          wouldn't work without a directory.

1.004005 - 2009-08-23
        - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
          generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
          necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.

1.004004 - 2009-08-05

        - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
          otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)

        - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).

1.004003 - 2009-16-16
        - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
          CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
          using an old CPAN version (t0m)
        - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
        - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
          invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
          mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
          modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)

1.004002 - 2009-06-15
        - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
          blessed entries. (grink)
        - Include test in xt/ for the above

        - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
          archlibexp when self contained.
        - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
        - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
          --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
        - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
          respects it. (confound)

1.004001 - 2009-05-21
        - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
          CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
          programmatically (confound).

        - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).

1.004000 - 2009-05-14
        - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
          installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.

        - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
          bootstrapping (confound).

1.003004 - 2009-05-12
        - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
          local::lib enviornments (amiri)

        - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
          Thanks!

1.003003 - 2009-04-09
        - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
        - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.

1.003002 - 2009-02-25
        - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
          clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.

1.003001 - 2009-01-14
        - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
          UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
          in local::lib::import().

1.003000 - 2009-01-13
        - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
          a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!

1.002000 - 2008-08-06
        - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
        - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps

1.001000 - 2007-09-19
        - refactored shell command generation
        - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
        - improved docs
        - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed

1.000000 - 2007-09-13
        - initial release
