1 Revision history for local::lib
4 - drop perl prerequisite to 5.6, since everything works there.
6 1.008025 2013-11-01 (development release, unindexed)
7 - fix install test on cygwin
8 - fix stackable test on win32 and when external local::lib is set

15 similar environment variables.
17 1.008024 2013-10-28 (development release, unindexed)
18 - fix installation into directories with spaces or backslashes, as
19 well as Win32 test failures when Capture::Tiny is installed

21 - fix test compatibility with old versions of Exporter
24 - stable release of 1.008022 (no code changes since 1.008012)
26 1.008022 2013-10-07 (development release, unindexed)

34 - yet another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with
37 1.008019 2013-09-29 (development release, unindexed)
38 - another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with spaces,
42 - print out actual paths in more test cases, for helping to diagnose
46 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
50 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
53 - re-release 1.008014 to fix broken MANIFEST
56 - fix new test to use alternate path representations on windows, to
57 handle potential space issues (regression since 1.008012)
60 - fix undef value errors when not installing into a local::lib
63 - now handling using -Mlocal::lib in a taintperl environment, by
64 ensuring that all libs in PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT are properly added to
65 @INC (RT#76661, Karen Etheridge)
68 - skip CPAN workaround if running via cpanminus (miyagawa, RT#85731)
71 - Fix a split on undefined value warning (David Golden -- see
72 https://github.com/gugod/App-perlbrew/issues/305)
75 - Remove Carp::Always dep
78 - Fix putting arch path in PERL5LIB
79 - Refactor Win32 path handling out of ensure_dir_structure_for()
80 - Fix active_paths when PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT starts with :
81 - Fix ~/perl5/bin missing in $PATH
82 - The environment variables definition for the shell is now output in
83 a way that allows to put the generated content directly in the
84 .profile without requiring to launch perl
85 (the only difference is how PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT is generated)
89 - Back to 1.008004 with Carp fix since subsequent releases were botched
90 - Avoid issue where PERL5LIB Carp is older than local::lib one
94 - Fix stackable tests on win32 by canonicalizing the path ahead of time
98 - Fix tests with stacking l::ls.
102 - Add local::lib stacking support.
103 - Add activation/deactivation support.
107 - Bootstrap Module::Build just like ExtUtils::MakeMaker
111 - Remove redundant prereqs now that Module::Build 0.36 is required
112 - Makefile.PL avoids CPAN client configuration when not required
113 - print_environment_vars_for() refactored with separate function
114 environment_vars_string_for()
115 - PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT environment is added to disambiguate when
116 PERL_MM_OPT, etc. was set by local::lib or other means
119 - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to
120 miyagawa for pointing this out.
124 - Split up method guess_shelltype from parts of print_environment_vars_for
125 - Updated documentation about change of use with .modulebuildrc
129 - Finally move to PERL_MB_OPT rather than using .modulebuildrc.
133 - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
134 - Documented one method in all languages
138 - Added portuguese translation
139 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
140 - Changed methods look in documentation
144 - Added support informations (also for german)
145 - Fixed newline in german translation from DOS2UNIX
153 - Added german translation right
157 - Hotfix for a search.cpan.org "Bug"
161 - Added german translation
162 - Enhanced some parts of english documentation
163 - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
164 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
168 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
169 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
170 ever worked usefully.
171 - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core
179 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
180 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
181 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
182 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
184 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
185 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
187 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
192 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
194 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
196 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
197 with C<--self-contained>.
201 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
203 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
207 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
208 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
211 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
213 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
217 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
218 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
219 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
220 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
221 wouldn't work without a directory.
224 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
225 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
226 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
230 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
231 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
233 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
236 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
237 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
238 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
239 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
240 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
241 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
242 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
243 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
246 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
247 blessed entries. (grink)
248 - Include test in xt/ for the above
250 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
251 archlibexp when self contained.
252 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
253 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
254 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
255 - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
256 respects it. (confound)
259 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
260 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
261 programmatically (confound).
263 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
266 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
267 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
269 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
270 bootstrapping (confound).
273 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
274 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
276 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
280 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
281 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
284 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
285 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
288 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
289 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
290 in local::lib::import().
293 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
294 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
297 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
298 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
301 - refactored shell command generation
302 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
304 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
