73 handle potential space issues (regression since 1.008012)
76 - fix undef value errors when not installing into a local::lib
79 - now handling using -Mlocal::lib in a taintperl environment, by

134 1.007000 - 2010-12-09
135 - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to

147 1.006007 - 2010-08-12
149 - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
150 - Documented one method in all languages
152 1.006006 - 2010-08-12
154 - Added portuguese translation
155 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
156 - Changed methods look in documentation

182 1.006000 - 2010-03-31

189 1.005001 - 2010-03-10
193 1.005000 - 2010-03-10
195 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
196 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
197 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
198 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
200 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
201 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
203 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
206 1.004009 - 2009-11-07
208 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
210 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
212 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
213 with C<--self-contained>.

217 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
219 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
221 1.004007 - 2009-09-02
223 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
224 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
227 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
229 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
232 1.004006 - 2009-08-25
233 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
234 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
235 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
236 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
237 wouldn't work without a directory.
239 1.004005 - 2009-08-23
240 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
241 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
242 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
244 1.004004 - 2009-08-05
246 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
247 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
249 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
251 1.004003 - 2009-16-16
252 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
253 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
254 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
255 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
256 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
257 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
258 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
259 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
261 1.004002 - 2009-06-15
262 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
263 blessed entries. (grink)
264 - Include test in xt/ for the above
266 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
267 archlibexp when self contained.
268 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
269 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
270 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)

272 respects it. (confound)
274 1.004001 - 2009-05-21
275 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
276 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
277 programmatically (confound).
279 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
281 1.004000 - 2009-05-14
282 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
283 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
285 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
286 bootstrapping (confound).
288 1.003004 - 2009-05-12
289 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
290 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
292 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
295 1.003003 - 2009-04-09
296 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
297 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
299 1.003002 - 2009-02-25
300 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
301 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
303 1.003001 - 2009-01-14
304 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
305 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
306 in local::lib::import().
308 1.003000 - 2009-01-13
309 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
310 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
312 1.002000 - 2008-08-06
313 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
314 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
316 1.001000 - 2007-09-19
317 - refactored shell command generation
318 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
320 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
322 1.000000 - 2007-09-13
