121 - The environment variables definition for the shell is now output in
122 a way that allows to put the generated content directly in the

200 1.005000 - 2010-03-10
201 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
202 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
203 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
204 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
205 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)

212 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org

222 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
224 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
225 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
228 1.004006 - 2009-08-25
229 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
230 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
231 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
232 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
233 wouldn't work without a directory.
235 1.004005 - 2009-08-23
236 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not

240 1.004004 - 2009-08-05

245 1.004003 - 2009-16-16
246 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
247 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
248 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
249 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
250 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
251 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
252 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
253 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
255 1.004002 - 2009-06-15
256 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
257 blessed entries. (grink)
258 - Include test in xt/ for the above
259 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
260 archlibexp when self contained.
261 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
262 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
263 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)

265 respects it. (confound)
267 1.004001 - 2009-05-21
268 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
269 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
270 programmatically (confound).
271 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
273 1.004000 - 2009-05-14
274 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
275 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
276 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
277 bootstrapping (confound).
279 1.003004 - 2009-05-12
280 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
281 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
282 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
285 1.003003 - 2009-04-09
286 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
287 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
289 1.003002 - 2009-02-25

293 1.003001 - 2009-01-14
294 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
295 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
296 in local::lib::import().
298 1.003000 - 2009-01-13
299 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
300 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
302 1.002000 - 2008-08-06
303 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
304 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
306 1.001000 - 2007-09-19
307 - refactored shell command generation
308 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}

312 1.000000 - 2007-09-13
