202 1.005000 - 2010-03-10
204 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
205 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
206 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
207 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
209 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)

212 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
215 1.004009 - 2009-11-07

219 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
221 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue

226 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
228 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
230 1.004007 - 2009-09-02
232 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
233 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
236 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
238 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
241 1.004006 - 2009-08-25
242 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
243 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
244 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
245 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
246 wouldn't work without a directory.
248 1.004005 - 2009-08-23
249 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not

253 1.004004 - 2009-08-05

260 1.004003 - 2009-16-16

262 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
263 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
264 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
265 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
266 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
267 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
268 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
270 1.004002 - 2009-06-15
271 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
272 blessed entries. (grink)
273 - Include test in xt/ for the above
275 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
276 archlibexp when self contained.
277 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
278 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
279 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)

281 respects it. (confound)
283 1.004001 - 2009-05-21
284 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
285 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
286 programmatically (confound).
288 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
290 1.004000 - 2009-05-14
291 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
292 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
294 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
295 bootstrapping (confound).
297 1.003004 - 2009-05-12
298 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
299 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
301 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
304 1.003003 - 2009-04-09
305 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
306 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
308 1.003002 - 2009-02-25

310 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
312 1.003001 - 2009-01-14
313 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
314 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
315 in local::lib::import().
317 1.003000 - 2009-01-13
318 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
319 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
321 1.002000 - 2008-08-06
322 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
323 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
325 1.001000 - 2007-09-19
326 - refactored shell command generation
327 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}

331 1.000000 - 2007-09-13
