156 - Documented one method in all languages
158 1.006006 - 2010-08-12

195 1.005001 - 2010-03-10
199 1.005000 - 2010-03-10
201 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
202 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
203 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
204 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
206 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
207 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
209 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
212 1.004009 - 2009-11-07
214 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
216 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
218 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
219 with C<--self-contained>.

223 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
225 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
227 1.004007 - 2009-09-02
229 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
230 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
233 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
235 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
238 1.004006 - 2009-08-25
239 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
240 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
241 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
242 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
243 wouldn't work without a directory.
245 1.004005 - 2009-08-23
246 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
247 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
248 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
250 1.004004 - 2009-08-05
252 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
253 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
255 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
257 1.004003 - 2009-16-16
258 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
259 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
260 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
261 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
262 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
263 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
264 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
265 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
267 1.004002 - 2009-06-15
268 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
269 blessed entries. (grink)
270 - Include test in xt/ for the above
272 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
273 archlibexp when self contained.
274 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
275 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
276 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)

278 respects it. (confound)
280 1.004001 - 2009-05-21
281 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
282 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
283 programmatically (confound).
285 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
287 1.004000 - 2009-05-14
288 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
289 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
291 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
292 bootstrapping (confound).
294 1.003004 - 2009-05-12
295 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
296 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
298 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
301 1.003003 - 2009-04-09
302 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
303 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
305 1.003002 - 2009-02-25
306 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
307 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
309 1.003001 - 2009-01-14
310 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
311 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
312 in local::lib::import().
314 1.003000 - 2009-01-13
315 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
316 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
318 1.002000 - 2008-08-06
319 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
320 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
322 1.001000 - 2007-09-19
323 - refactored shell command generation
324 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
326 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
328 1.000000 - 2007-09-13
