69 handle potential space issues (regression since 1.008012)
72 - fix undef value errors when not installing into a local::lib
75 - now handling using -Mlocal::lib in a taintperl environment, by
76 ensuring that all libs in PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT are properly added to

130 1.007000 - 2010-12-09
131 - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to
132 miyagawa for pointing this out.
134 1.006009 - 2010-12-09

137 - Updated documentation about change of use with .modulebuildrc
139 1.006008 - 2010-11-17
141 - Finally move to PERL_MB_OPT rather than using .modulebuildrc.
143 1.006007 - 2010-08-12
145 - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
146 - Documented one method in all languages
148 1.006006 - 2010-08-12
150 - Added portuguese translation
151 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
152 - Changed methods look in documentation

175 - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
176 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
178 1.006000 - 2010-03-31

185 1.005001 - 2010-03-10
189 1.005000 - 2010-03-10
191 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
192 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
193 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
194 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
196 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
197 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
199 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
202 1.004009 - 2009-11-07
204 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
206 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
208 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
209 with C<--self-contained>.
211 1.004008 - 2009-10-13
213 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
215 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
217 1.004007 - 2009-09-02
219 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
220 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
223 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
225 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
228 1.004006 - 2009-08-25
229 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
230 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
231 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
232 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
233 wouldn't work without a directory.
235 1.004005 - 2009-08-23
236 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
237 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
238 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
240 1.004004 - 2009-08-05
242 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
243 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
245 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
247 1.004003 - 2009-16-16
248 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
249 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
250 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
251 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
252 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
253 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
254 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
255 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
257 1.004002 - 2009-06-15
258 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
259 blessed entries. (grink)
260 - Include test in xt/ for the above
262 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
263 archlibexp when self contained.
264 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
265 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
266 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)

268 respects it. (confound)
270 1.004001 - 2009-05-21
271 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
272 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
273 programmatically (confound).
275 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
277 1.004000 - 2009-05-14
278 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
279 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
281 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
282 bootstrapping (confound).
284 1.003004 - 2009-05-12
285 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
286 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
288 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
291 1.003003 - 2009-04-09
292 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
293 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
295 1.003002 - 2009-02-25
296 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
297 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
299 1.003001 - 2009-01-14
300 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
301 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
302 in local::lib::import().
304 1.003000 - 2009-01-13
305 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
306 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
308 1.002000 - 2008-08-06
309 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
310 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
312 1.001000 - 2007-09-19
313 - refactored shell command generation
314 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
316 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
318 1.000000 - 2007-09-13
