7 - yet another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with
10 1.008019 2013-09-29 (development release, unindexed)
11 - another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with spaces,
15 - print out actual paths in more test cases, for helping to diagnose
19 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
23 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
26 - re-release 1.008014 to fix broken MANIFEST
29 - fix new test to use alternate path representations on windows, to
30 handle potential space issues (regression since 1.008012)
33 - fix undef value errors when not installing into a local::lib
36 - now handling using -Mlocal::lib in a taintperl environment, by
37 ensuring that all libs in PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT are properly added to
38 @INC (RT#76661, Karen Etheridge)
41 - skip CPAN workaround if running via cpanminus (miyagawa, RT#85731)
44 - Fix a split on undefined value warning (David Golden -- see
45 https://github.com/gugod/App-perlbrew/issues/305)
48 - Remove Carp::Always dep
51 - Fix putting arch path in PERL5LIB
52 - Refactor Win32 path handling out of ensure_dir_structure_for()
53 - Fix activate_paths when PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT starts with :
54 - Fix ~/perl5/bin missing in $PATH
57 - Back to 1.008004 with Carp fix since subsequent releases were botched
58 - Avoid issue where PERL5LIB Carp is older than local::lib one
62 - Fix stackable tests on win32 by canonicalizing the path ahead of time
66 - Fix tests with stacking l::ls.
70 - Add local::lib stacking support.
71 - Add activation/deactivation support.
75 - Bootstrap Module::Build just like ExtUtils::MakeMaker
79 - Remove redundant prereqs now that Module::Build 0.36 is required
80 - Makefile.PL avoids CPAN client configuration when not required
81 - print_environment_vars_for() refactored with separate function
82 environment_vars_string_for()
83 - PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT environment is added to disambiguate when
84 PERL_MM_OPT, etc. was set by local::lib or other means
87 - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to
88 miyagawa for pointing this out.
92 - Split up method guess_shelltype from parts of print_environment_vars_for
93 - Updated documentation about change of use with .modulebuildrc
97 - Finally move to PERL_MB_OPT rather than using .modulebuildrc.
101 - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
102 - Documented one method in all languages
106 - Added portuguese translation
107 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
108 - Changed methods look in documentation
112 - Added support informations (also for german)
113 - Fixed newline in german translation from DOS2UNIX
121 - Added german translation right
125 - Hotfix for a search.cpan.org "Bug"
129 - Added german translation
130 - Enhanced some parts of english documentation
131 - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
132 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
136 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
137 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
138 ever worked usefully.
139 - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core
147 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
148 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
149 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
150 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
152 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
153 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
155 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
160 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
162 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
164 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
165 with C<--self-contained>.
169 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
171 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
175 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
176 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
179 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
181 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
185 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
186 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
187 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
188 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
189 wouldn't work without a directory.
192 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
193 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
194 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
198 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
199 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
201 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
204 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
205 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
206 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
207 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
208 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
209 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
210 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
211 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
214 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
215 blessed entries. (grink)
216 - Include test in xt/ for the above
218 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
219 archlibexp when self contained.
220 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
221 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
222 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
223 - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
224 respects it. (confound)
227 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
228 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
229 programmatically (confound).
231 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
234 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
235 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
237 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
238 bootstrapping (confound).
241 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
242 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
244 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
248 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
249 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
252 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
253 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
256 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
257 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
258 in local::lib::import().
261 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
262 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
265 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
266 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
269 - refactored shell command generation
270 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
272 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
