10 - yet another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with
13 1.008019 2013-09-29 (development release, unindexed)
14 - another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with spaces,
18 - print out actual paths in more test cases, for helping to diagnose
22 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
26 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
29 - re-release 1.008014 to fix broken MANIFEST
32 - fix new test to use alternate path representations on windows, to
33 handle potential space issues (regression since 1.008012)
36 - fix undef value errors when not installing into a local::lib
39 - now handling using -Mlocal::lib in a taintperl environment, by
40 ensuring that all libs in PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT are properly added to
41 @INC (RT#76661, Karen Etheridge)
44 - skip CPAN workaround if running via cpanminus (miyagawa, RT#85731)
47 - Fix a split on undefined value warning (David Golden -- see
48 https://github.com/gugod/App-perlbrew/issues/305)
51 - Remove Carp::Always dep
54 - Fix putting arch path in PERL5LIB
55 - Refactor Win32 path handling out of ensure_dir_structure_for()
56 - Fix activate_paths when PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT starts with :
57 - Fix ~/perl5/bin missing in $PATH
60 - Back to 1.008004 with Carp fix since subsequent releases were botched
61 - Avoid issue where PERL5LIB Carp is older than local::lib one
65 - Fix stackable tests on win32 by canonicalizing the path ahead of time
69 - Fix tests with stacking l::ls.
73 - Add local::lib stacking support.
74 - Add activation/deactivation support.
78 - Bootstrap Module::Build just like ExtUtils::MakeMaker
82 - Remove redundant prereqs now that Module::Build 0.36 is required
83 - Makefile.PL avoids CPAN client configuration when not required
84 - print_environment_vars_for() refactored with separate function
85 environment_vars_string_for()
86 - PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT environment is added to disambiguate when
87 PERL_MM_OPT, etc. was set by local::lib or other means
90 - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to
91 miyagawa for pointing this out.
95 - Split up method guess_shelltype from parts of print_environment_vars_for
96 - Updated documentation about change of use with .modulebuildrc
100 - Finally move to PERL_MB_OPT rather than using .modulebuildrc.
104 - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
105 - Documented one method in all languages
109 - Added portuguese translation
110 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
111 - Changed methods look in documentation
115 - Added support informations (also for german)
116 - Fixed newline in german translation from DOS2UNIX
124 - Added german translation right
128 - Hotfix for a search.cpan.org "Bug"
132 - Added german translation
133 - Enhanced some parts of english documentation
134 - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
135 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
139 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
140 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
141 ever worked usefully.
142 - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core
150 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
151 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
152 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
153 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
155 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
156 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
158 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
163 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
165 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
167 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
168 with C<--self-contained>.
172 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
174 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
178 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
179 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
182 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
184 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
188 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
189 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
190 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
191 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
192 wouldn't work without a directory.
195 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
196 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
197 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
201 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
202 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
204 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
207 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
208 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
209 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
210 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
211 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
212 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
213 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
214 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
217 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
218 blessed entries. (grink)
219 - Include test in xt/ for the above
221 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
222 archlibexp when self contained.
223 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
224 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
225 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
226 - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
227 respects it. (confound)
230 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
231 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
232 programmatically (confound).
234 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
237 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
238 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
240 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
241 bootstrapping (confound).
244 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
245 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
247 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
251 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
252 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
255 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
256 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
259 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
260 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
261 in local::lib::import().
264 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
265 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
268 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
269 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
272 - refactored shell command generation
273 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
275 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
