7 1.008019 2013-09-29 (development release, unindexed)
8 - another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with spaces,
12 - print out actual paths in more test cases, for helping to diagnose
16 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
20 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
23 - re-release 1.008014 to fix broken MANIFEST
26 - fix new test to use alternate path representations on windows, to
27 handle potential space issues (regression since 1.008012)
30 - fix undef value errors when not installing into a local::lib
33 - now handling using -Mlocal::lib in a taintperl environment, by
34 ensuring that all libs in PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT are properly added to
35 @INC (RT#76661, Karen Etheridge)
38 - skip CPAN workaround if running via cpanminus (miyagawa, RT#85731)
41 - Fix a split on undefined value warning (David Golden -- see
42 https://github.com/gugod/App-perlbrew/issues/305)
45 - Remove Carp::Always dep
48 - Fix putting arch path in PERL5LIB
49 - Refactor Win32 path handling out of ensure_dir_structure_for()
50 - Fix activate_paths when PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT starts with :
51 - Fix ~/perl5/bin missing in $PATH
54 - Back to 1.008004 with Carp fix since subsequent releases were botched
55 - Avoid issue where PERL5LIB Carp is older than local::lib one
59 - Fix stackable tests on win32 by canonicalizing the path ahead of time
63 - Fix tests with stacking l::ls.
67 - Add local::lib stacking support.
68 - Add activation/deactivation support.
72 - Bootstrap Module::Build just like ExtUtils::MakeMaker
76 - Remove redundant prereqs now that Module::Build 0.36 is required
77 - Makefile.PL avoids CPAN client configuration when not required
78 - print_environment_vars_for() refactored with separate function
79 environment_vars_string_for()
80 - PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT environment is added to disambiguate when
81 PERL_MM_OPT, etc. was set by local::lib or other means
84 - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to
85 miyagawa for pointing this out.
89 - Split up method guess_shelltype from parts of print_environment_vars_for
90 - Updated documentation about change of use with .modulebuildrc
94 - Finally move to PERL_MB_OPT rather than using .modulebuildrc.
98 - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
99 - Documented one method in all languages
103 - Added portuguese translation
104 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
105 - Changed methods look in documentation
109 - Added support informations (also for german)
110 - Fixed newline in german translation from DOS2UNIX
118 - Added german translation right
122 - Hotfix for a search.cpan.org "Bug"
126 - Added german translation
127 - Enhanced some parts of english documentation
128 - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
129 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
133 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
134 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
135 ever worked usefully.
136 - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core
144 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
145 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
146 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
147 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
149 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
150 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
152 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
157 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
159 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
161 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
162 with C<--self-contained>.
166 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
168 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
172 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
173 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
176 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
178 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
182 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
183 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
184 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
185 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
186 wouldn't work without a directory.
189 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
190 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
191 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
195 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
196 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
198 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
201 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
202 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
203 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
204 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
205 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
206 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
207 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
208 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
211 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
212 blessed entries. (grink)
213 - Include test in xt/ for the above
215 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
216 archlibexp when self contained.
217 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
218 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
219 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
220 - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
221 respects it. (confound)
224 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
225 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
226 programmatically (confound).
228 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
231 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
232 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
234 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
235 bootstrapping (confound).
238 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
239 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
241 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
245 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
246 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
249 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
250 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
253 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
254 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
255 in local::lib::import().
258 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
259 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
262 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
263 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
266 - refactored shell command generation
267 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
269 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
