| 193 | ||
| 194 | * experimental support for deprecated.pm only enabled on perl 5.11 | |

| 220 | ||
| 221 | * this is release 1.93_51 (dev release towards 1.94) | |
| 222 | ||

| 224 | separate files. Requested by Gabor Szabo who also submitted an initial | |
| 225 | implementation. | |
| 226 | ||

| 248 | ||
| 249 | * more backporting from trunk | |
| 250 | ||
| 251 | * PAUSE2009.pub included | |
| 252 | ||
| 253 | * s/cpantesters.perl.org/www.cpantesters.org/ | |
| 254 | ||
| 255 | 2009-01-11 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 256 | ||
| 257 | * this is release 1.93_02 | |
| 258 | ||
| 259 | * the underscore is there because it is the first git based release, it | |

| 276 | ||
| 277 | * this is release 1.9301 | |
| 278 | ||
| 279 | * tests, as always, badly written tests! (RT #39994, #40001) | |
| 280 | ||
| 281 | 2008-10-12 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 282 | ||
| 283 | * this is release 1.93 | |
| 284 | ||
| 285 | * no changes against 1.92_66 except in the distroprefs directory (which | |
| 286 | is not used by default) | |
| 287 | ||
| 288 | * highlights include: | |
| 289 | ||
| 290 | * selection of displayed modules during the 'r' command more intuitive | |
| 291 | (at the same time order of modules changed because we run two passes) | |
| 292 | ||
| 293 | * several relevant bugfixes, including one related to security | |
| 294 | (setting $Archive::Tar::CHMOD=0 to prevent undesired world writable | |

| 304 | ||
| 305 | * if nothing serious happens this will become 1.93 in a few days | |
| 306 | ||
| 307 | * security fix: Archive::Tar should not preserve permissions in the | |
| 308 | tarball; extracted file permissions will be set from users umask instead | |
| 309 | (David Golden) | |
| 310 | ||
| 311 | * improve on dealing with a tarball with zero permissions (thanks to | |
| 312 | RPHANEY/openStatisticalServices-0.018.tar.gz) | |
| 313 | ||
| 314 | 2008-09-14 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |

| 316 | * release 1.92_65 (aiming at 1.93 once again) | |
| 317 | ||

| 326 | ||
| 327 | * release 1.92_64 | |
| 328 | ||
| 329 | * workaround for tarballs containing a pax_global_header comment | |

| 332 | * set the PERL5LIB also on the look command (suggested by Slaven Rezic) | |
| 333 | ||

| 335 | ||
| 336 | * fix esoteric bug in build_dir_reuse/reset_tested (David Golden) | |

| 350 | ||
| 351 | * release 1.92_63 | |
| 352 | ||
| 353 | * The CPAN::PERL5INC experiment didn't work and all related code was | |
| 354 | removed. Because PERL5OPT "-M" switches are resolved after command line | |
| 355 | "-M" switches, CPAN::PERL5INC sets @INC too late for any PL code or | |
| 356 | tests that load prerequisite modules with "-M" on a command line. | |
| 357 | ||
| 358 | * fixed some localization bugs seen on 5.6.2 (David Golden) | |
| 359 | ||
| 360 | * added 'perl5lib_verbosity' config option to silence 'added to | |
| 361 | PERL5LIB' messages (David Golden) | |
| 362 | ||
| 363 | * now with 340 distroprefs files | |
| 364 | ||

| 367 | * release 1.92_62 | |
| 368 | ||
| 369 | * fixed PERL5INC tempfile leak when running without lock file | |
| 370 | (David Golden) | |
| 371 | ||
| 372 | * better prereq and distropref disabled support under build_dir_reuse | |
| 373 | (David Golden) | |
| 374 | ||
| 375 | * distropref cache won't persist across sessions with build_dir_reuse | |
| 376 | (David Golden) | |
| 377 | ||
| 378 | * patch from chocelateboy: found a FileHandle->new with an argument | |
| 379 | ||
| 380 | * fix "exiting subroutine via last" bug (patch from Gisle Aas) | |
| 381 | ||
| 382 | * finishing the CPAN::Distroprefs refactoring (Hans Dieter Pearcey) | |
| 383 | ||
| 384 | * silence noisy tests | |
| 385 | ||

| 400 | ||
| 401 | * rework the whole experimental "feature" thingie since the META.yml | |
| 402 | spec was fixed | |
| 403 | ||

| 405 | protection from install only on make_test | |
| 406 | ||
| 407 | * repair broken smoke command | |
| 408 | ||
| 409 | * now with 309 distroprefs files | |

| 421 | ||

| 428 | ||
| 429 | * add reset_tested() function to forget distributions previously tested | |
| 430 | in a session, which resets the list of directories added to PERL5LIB | |
| 431 | (David Golden) | |
| 432 | ||
| 433 | * address #34062: regain lost 'cpan .' command (reporter Slaven Rezic) | |
| 434 | ||
| 435 | * shut up "exited subroutine via last" warning in an expect loop | |
| 436 | ||

| 440 | * CPAN::PERL5INC now also used in available_file() so that testers that | |
| 441 | do not install can continue to work as before this module was introduced | |
| 442 | ||

| 444 | by Form-Processor-Model-DBIC-0.01) | |

| 454 | ||

| 461 | (David Golden) | |

| 470 | 2008-02-27 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 471 | ||
| 472 | * release 1.92_57: getting closer to 1.93 | |
| 473 | ||
| 474 | * address #32823: fix a (rare) case where the make_args were appended to | |
| 475 | the commandline on the call to ./Build (reported by David Golden and | |
| 476 | Michael Schwern) | |
| 477 | ||
| 478 | * applied a patch from Randy Kobes to update index before a query when | |
| 479 | CPAN::SQLite is active | |
| 480 | ||
| 481 | * added 'halt_on_failure' config option to halt queue processing after | |
| 482 | the first failure rather than processing all remaining items | |
| 483 | (patch by David Golden; requested by Andrew Hampe and Matisse Enzer) | |
| 484 | ||
| 485 | * address #33505: allow empty passwords in the config and pass proxy | |
| 486 | data through to curl (suggestions by kevinarpe) | |
| 487 | ||
| 488 | * new diagnostics when CPAN.pm is required a second time. Introduce a | |
| 489 | sleep period when it is required several times because then a loop might | |
| 490 | be the cause and this might provide a clue to the user. | |
| 491 | ||
| 492 | * address #32525: when running the 'r' command, try to display the | |
| 493 | module name that is best suited for the distribution name (suggestion | |
| 494 | and prove of concept implementation by imacat) | |
| 495 | ||

| 507 | ||
| 508 | * addressing #32841: fixing wrong usage of HOME vs File::HomeDir spotted | |
| 509 | by Randy Kobes based on a bugreport by David Wheeler; with help from | |
| 510 | Schwern and Adam Kennedy and I'm sure this will need more iterations. | |
| 511 | ||
| 512 | * added 'trust_test_report_history' config option; when set, CPAN will | |
| 513 | skip tests for a distribution and rely on test report results if a prior | |
| 514 | test report is found; requires CPAN::Reporter 1.07_02 | |
| 515 | ||
| 516 | * protect against the infamous bug in Safe 2.13 that causes data | |
| 517 | corruption and ugly error messages like unknown method version::("")) or | |
| 518 | some such | |
| 519 | ||

| 533 | * regain 5.6.1 compatibility in the testsuite | |
| 534 | ||
| 535 | * improve diagnostics in t/31sessions.t to understand better what's up | |

| 539 | ||

| 555 | add a test to verify it | |
| 556 | ||
| 557 | 2007-12-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 558 | ||
| 559 | * release 1.92_53: unstable release low priority | |
| 560 | ||
| 561 | * now with 262 distroprefs files | |
| 562 | ||
| 563 | * fix the bug where CPAN.pm refused to upgrade to Test::Harness 3 | |
| 564 | because Test::Harness was too old (Eric Wilhelm) | |
| 565 | ||
| 566 | * skip tests when YAML too old | |
| 567 | ||
| 568 | * default changed in Firsttime: prefer the conservative choice to NOT | |
| 569 | use build_dir_reuse | |
| 570 | ||
| 571 | * improve diagnostics when Tarzip believes that it must give up | |
| 572 | ||
| 573 | * new config variable connect_to_internet_ok (requested by Merijn Brand) | |

| 584 | ||
| 585 | * bugfix: the endless loop fix that made it into 1.92_51 and 1.9204 was | |
| 586 | buggy in itself. Fixing the fix and adding a test case. | |
| 587 | ||
| 588 | * use chdir from Cwd.pm everywhere instead of the built-in chdir so that | |
| 589 | we set $PWD simultaneously (requested by Slaven Rezic) | |
| 590 | ||
| 591 | 2007-11-06 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |

| 879 | * bugfix: Time::HiRes not a prereq anymore (Joshua ben Jore) | |
| 880 | ||
| 881 | * speedup of the cleanup process in the build directory: do not compute | |

| 890 | ||
| 891 | * release 1.90 | |

| 893 | * Changes against 1.88: | |
| 894 | ||
| 895 | * enhanced integration of CPAN::Reporter | |
| 896 | ||

| 905 | messages | |
| 906 | ||
| 907 | * improved installation support for scripts without tarball | |
| 908 | ||
| 909 | * improved config management of internal variables | |
| 910 | ||
| 911 | * much more serialization of internal data into YAML, switchable between | |
| 912 | YAML and YAML::Syck | |
| 913 | ||
| 914 | * optional persistence between sessions | |
| 915 | ||
| 916 | * support for pseudo "dot" distros (local directories having nothing to | |
| 917 | do with CPAN) | |
| 918 | ||
| 919 | * reworked force pragma and new fforce pragma | |
| 920 | ||
| 921 | * new configuration variables auto_commit, build_requires_install_policy | |

| 928 | ||
| 929 | * bugfix: remove from the is_tested set what reaches "install already done" | |
| 930 | ||
| 931 | * improve diagnostics when gpg fails | |
| 932 | ||
| 933 | * bugfix persistence: do not restore pragmas | |

| 936 | (allowing "1.90" with a trailing zero) | |
| 937 | ||
| 938 | * bugfix: if a dependency has been installed successfully but did not | |
| 939 | install the expected module, issue a warning and do not install again to | |
| 940 | prevent endless loops. | |
| 941 | ||
| 942 | 2007-03-15 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 943 | ||

| 945 | ||
| 946 | * make the failure mode on circular depencies just as the other failure | |
| 947 | modes and let the rest of the modules continue; also improve diagnostics | |
| 948 | for circular dependencies | |
| 949 | ||
| 950 | * clean up a few places where STDERR leaked from underneath; others seem | |
| 951 | unfixable so a few are left over | |
| 952 | ||
| 953 | * protect better against lost build directories | |
| 954 | ||
| 955 | * warn when YAML is too old and skip the 30shell test | |

| 1018 | suggestion to Adam Kennedy) | |
| 1019 | ||
| 1020 | * fix recursion detection logic: when we have the module and it | |
| 1021 | satisfies the minimum required, do not take its recursive dependencies | |
| 1022 | into account. | |
| 1023 | ||
| 1024 | * fix bug in getting PREREQ_PM out of Makefile when a value in PREREQ_PM | |

| 1041 | ||
| 1042 | * disable broken Archive::Tar 0.23 | |

| 1044 | * mitigate a too sharp test in 31sessions.t | |

| 1046 | 2007-01-27 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1047 | ||
| 1048 | * release 1.88_71: this does not yet qualify as a release candidate for | |
| 1049 | 1.89 because it incorporates a major bugfix; but otherwise I think this | |
| 1050 | is feature complete for a release | |
| 1051 | ||
| 1052 | * document treatment of requires and build_requires declarations | |
| 1053 | ||
| 1054 | * integrate the distroprefs README into the manpage | |
| 1055 | ||
| 1056 | * introduce negative distroprefs caching for the current command | |
| 1057 | ||

| 1062 | ||

| 1066 | Module::Build was not yet installed | |
| 1067 | ||
| 1068 | * fix a serious dependency resolution bug triggered by the new | |
| 1069 | family of Compress::Zlib module distributions | |
| 1070 | ||
| 1071 | * limit recursion detection to those commands that need it and let | |
| 1072 | others, like 'look', continue to work; at the same time make recursion | |
| 1073 | detection a serious error that throws an exception and does not try to | |
| 1074 | continue to execute | |
| 1075 | ||
| 1076 | 2007-01-08 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |

| 1096 | colors | |
| 1097 | ||
| 1098 | * new config variable colorize_debug to colorize debugging output | |
| 1099 | ||
| 1100 | * bugfix: prepending to PERL5LIB contained the BUILDDIR literally | |
| 1101 | ||
| 1102 | * bugfix: when determining unsatisfied prereqs, honour is_tested area | |

| 1119 | is_tested record between sessions | |
| 1120 | ||
| 1121 | * documentation and tests for the new force pragmas and for session | |
| 1122 | persistence | |
| 1123 | ||
| 1124 | * support for 'applypatch' via distroprefs | |
| 1125 | ||
| 1126 | * improved SQLite support for TAB completion courtesy Randy Kobes | |
| 1127 | ||
| 1128 | * lots of new and updated distroprefs files | |
| 1129 | ||
| 1130 | * Devel::Cover working again | |
| 1131 | ||
| 1132 | * address #24114 (Steve Peters): do not fail due to missing YAML | |
| 1133 | ||
| 1134 | * bugfix: handle gracefully when a build dir disappears | |
| 1135 | ||
| 1136 | * bugfix: improve dependency checking if a module has no version at all | |

| 1142 | 2006-12-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1143 | ||

| 1160 | ||
| 1161 | 2006-12-09 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1162 | ||
| 1163 | * release 1.88_65 | |
| 1164 | ||
| 1165 | * make CPAN::SQLite configurable and tweak a few places to help SQLite | |
| 1166 | bootstrapping. | |
| 1167 | ||
| 1168 | * fixed an implicit dependency on YAML::Syck in the Makefile | |
| 1169 | ||
| 1170 | * distropref-goto: use the queue because after the goto new dependencies | |
| 1171 | may be needed | |
| 1172 | ||
| 1173 | * fix dependency checking after make test: it did not work well together | |
| 1174 | with a distropref-goto | |
| 1175 | ||
| 1176 | 2006-12-04 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1177 | ||
| 1178 | * release 1.88_64 | |
| 1179 | ||
| 1180 | * more of Randy Kobes' patches for CPAN::SQLite applied. Things start | |
| 1181 | working. | |
| 1182 | ||
| 1183 | * CPAN::Kwalify as a bridge to Kwalify.pm verifies all distroprefs to be | |
| 1184 | syntactically correct | |
| 1185 | ||
| 1186 | * address #23742: fix unini warning | |
| 1187 | ||
| 1188 | * another patch from Randy Kobes to canonize directory names | |
| 1189 | ||
| 1190 | * bugfix: force install of a local dot distro was doing weird things | |
| 1191 | ||
| 1192 | * bugfix: goto did not normalize the distro name | |
| 1193 | ||
| 1194 | 2006-11-23 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1195 | ||
| 1196 | * release 1.88_63: nothing major, only bugfixes and tiny new features. | |
| 1197 | Still a lot to do for 1.89. | |
| 1198 | ||
| 1199 | * address #23315: there were still some uncought exceptions in | |
| 1200 | CPAN::Tarzip that broke megainstalls by Steve Peters; now hopefully all | |

| 1208 | Rodrigues for the report! | |
| 1209 | ||
| 1210 | * bugfix: dirname(undef) can die: protect against it when an entry in | |
| 1211 | FTPstats has no associated file | |
| 1212 | ||
| 1213 | * the failed command now prints its rows sorted by command (as before) | |
| 1214 | but within each command by time. | |
| 1215 | ||
| 1216 | * the prereq check under the Module::Build installer is now performed by | |
| 1217 | reading the _build/prereqs file instead of calling Module::Build | |
| 1218 | directly. (Suggested by Ken Williams) | |
| 1219 | ||
| 1220 | * cleanup of the cache directory is now disabled for batch jobs; | |
| 1221 | documentation is updated about the lock file the shell is holding | |
| 1222 | ||
| 1223 | * now setting the environment variable PERL5_CPAN_IS_RUNNING; tentative | |
| 1224 | patch for Module::Install in my CPAN homedirectory | |
| 1225 | ||

| 1227 | directory when YAML is not available (alpha) | |
| 1228 | ||
| 1229 | * new support for cpanconfig/check_sigs in distroprefs to temporarily | |
| 1230 | switch signature checking on or off. See distroprefs/00.README for | |
| 1231 | details and distroprefs/JESSE.HTTP-Server-Simple.yml for an example (alpha) | |
| 1232 | ||
| 1233 | * new keyword "goto" in distroprefs to nominate a delegate distro. See | |
| 1234 | distroprefs/00.README for details and distroprefs/ABH.XML-RSS.yml for an | |
| 1235 | example (alpha) | |
| 1236 | ||
| 1237 | * small portions of patches from Randy Kobes applied to support | |
| 1238 | CPAN::SQLite (pre-alpha; see Makefile.PL how to invoke) | |
| 1239 | ||
| 1240 | 2006-11-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1241 | ||
| 1242 | * release 1.88_62 | |
| 1243 | ||
| 1244 | * bugfix in randomize_urllist introduced in 1.88_61: setting the value | |
| 1245 | with C<o conf randomize_urllist> was broken | |
| 1246 | ||
| 1247 | * disallow C<o conf {commit,defaults}> in degraded mode | |
| 1248 | ||
| 1249 | * more programming tips in the manpage from Ilya Zakharevich | |
| 1250 | ||
| 1251 | * sanity check on path names with tilde suggested by Adam Kennedy | |
| 1252 | ||
| 1253 | * change the prettyprint of arrays to accommodate the user of splice | |
| 1254 | ||
| 1255 | * introduce C<expect-in-any-order> to distroprefs | |
| 1256 | ||
| 1257 | * add a new testdistro CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make-Expect | |
| 1258 | ||
| 1259 | * make the 00.README in the distroprefs directory more like a manpage | |
| 1260 | for later inclusion into the CPAN.pm manpage | |
| 1261 | ||
| 1262 | * determine if a patch needs -p0 or -p1 | |
| 1263 | ||
| 1264 | * fix downloads with lynx when the other end sends an unusual error page | |
| 1265 | ||
| 1266 | 2006-11-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1267 | ||
| 1268 | * release 1.88_61 | |
| 1269 | ||
| 1270 | * This release is dedicated to imacat. | |
| 1271 | ||
| 1272 | * address #22749: always download CHECKSUMS from the same host as the | |
| 1273 | package file (Thanks to imacat for the report) | |
| 1274 | ||
| 1275 | * new command 'hosts' to display some recent download statistics | |
| 1276 | ||
| 1277 | * new config parameter 'randomize_urllist' brings some randomness into | |
| 1278 | the URL selection | |
| 1279 | ||
| 1280 | * if yaml_module not YAML and not available, fall back to YAML | |
| 1281 | ||
| 1282 | 2006-11-02 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1283 | ||
| 1284 | * release 1.88_59 | |
| 1285 | ||
| 1286 | * Note: the build_dir has got a major reworking with regard to how | |
| 1287 | individual directories below it are being named. The names are now | |
| 1288 | generated by File::Temp and contain a random part. This has the | |
| 1289 | advantage that concurring users of CPAN.pm cannot disturb each other and | |
| 1290 | the disadvantage that it is more difficult to identify which directory | |
| 1291 | contains which build environment. If YAML is installed, then each | |
| 1292 | directory is accompanied by a YAML file that stores a lot of state about | |
| 1293 | the directory. | |
| 1294 | ||
| 1295 | The filename of the YAML file is C<< <directoryname>.yml >> | |
| 1296 | ||
| 1297 | * This release represents work in progress: new features marked as alpha | |
| 1298 | below are still in flux and may change or be removed in the future. | |
| 1299 | ||
| 1300 | * Large chunk of documentation added about the many 'o conf' variants | |
| 1301 | (after a smart kick From Marc Lehmann) | |
| 1302 | ||
| 1303 | * fix a bug reported by Sujith Emmanuel to survive when urllist contains | |
| 1304 | illegal URLs | |
| 1305 | ||
| 1306 | * new bundle Bundle::CPANxxl with CPAN::Reporter, Module::Signature, | |
| 1307 | Expect, etc. | |
| 1308 | ||
| 1309 | * many new sample distroprefs files (alpha) | |
| 1310 | ||
| 1311 | * new keyword "disabled" in distroprefs (alpha) | |
| 1312 | ||

| 1314 | ||
| 1315 | * make running concurrent batch jobs safe (alpha) | |
| 1316 | ||
| 1317 | * lock the shell more granular to let many CPAN shells coexist (alpha) | |

| 1320 | introduced in 1.88_58 (alpha) | |
| 1321 | ||
| 1322 | * very early incarnation of new install_tested command (alpha) | |

| 1324 | 2006-10-28 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1325 | ||
| 1326 | * release 1.88_58 | |
| 1327 | ||
| 1328 | * new config option build_dir_reuse for persistent distro state in | |
| 1329 | build_dir inspired by Ilya Zakharevich. (alpha!) | |
| 1330 | ||
| 1331 | * a few new and rewritten distropref files. | |
| 1332 | ||
| 1333 | * add distribution name to every OK/NOT OK; also inspired by Ilya. | |
| 1334 | ||
| 1335 | * bugfix on a rare bug related to the deletion of metadata after using a | |
| 1336 | pragma on a distribution. | |
| 1337 | ||
| 1338 | 2006-10-24 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1339 | ||
| 1340 | * release 1.88_57 | |
| 1341 | ||
| 1342 | * address #22396: add a diagnostic warning at cleanup time when people | |
| 1343 | have changed their config but forgot to safe it (Tina Mueller, Alberto | |
| 1344 | Manuel Brandao Simoes). | |
| 1345 | ||
| 1346 | * workaround for a weird interaction with a dated version.pm in | |
| 1347 | a probably dated Module::Build and UNIVERSAL::VERSION. | |
| 1348 | ||
| 1349 | * document the config variables that are overridable via distroprefs. | |
| 1350 | ||
| 1351 | * add prefer_installer to the list of overridable config variables. | |
| 1352 | ||
| 1353 | * new and updated prefs files for DBI, Coro, etc. | |
| 1354 | ||
| 1355 | 2006-10-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1356 | ||
| 1357 | * release 1.88_56 | |
| 1358 | ||
| 1359 | * add the ability to patch random distros both with local patches and | |
| 1360 | with patches from CPAN. Demo patches to UNIVERSAL::require, Expect, | |
| 1361 | Math::Pari, etc. are uploaded to my CPAN directory, corresponding YAML | |
| 1362 | files are in the distroprefs directory. Heavily inspired by an old patch | |
| 1363 | from Ilya Zakharevich. | |
| 1364 | ||
| 1365 | * fixes from Ilya Zakharevich to the PERL5LIB environment handling for | |
| 1366 | not yet installed modules from a 3 year old patch. | |
| 1367 | ||
| 1368 | * work around a Module::Build issue with Build.PL files that are | |
| 1369 | subclassing Module::Build like Error.pm and HTML::Mason. For now we fall | |
| 1370 | back to the META.yml file. Needs further discussion with Module::Build | |
| 1371 | people. | |
| 1372 | ||
| 1373 | * in the distroprefs system allow for YAML files with an arbitrary | |
| 1374 | number of sections. | |
| 1375 | ||
| 1376 | * document how to integrate local distribution directories into the CPAN | |
| 1377 | shell. See section 'Integrating local directories' in the manpage. | |
| 1378 | ||
| 1379 | * reporting of errors during unpacking is now integrated into the | |
| 1380 | report section at the end of each command and the 'failed' command. | |
| 1381 | ||
| 1382 | * applied a patch by smpeters to silence an unini warning (RT #22277). | |
| 1383 | ||
| 1384 | * address #20979: trailing backslashes in MyConfig variables with test | |
| 1385 | (Lars XXX via David Golden) | |
| 1386 | ||
| 1387 | 2006-10-16 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1388 | ||
| 1389 | * release 1.88_55 | |
| 1390 | ||
| 1391 | * new command 'report' as requested by Schwern in #22118. | |
| 1392 | ||
| 1393 | * extend the Distribution object to local directories. Gives a meaning | |
| 1394 | to the 'cpan .' command. Suggested by Slaven Rezic. | |
| 1395 | ||
| 1396 | * removes the linux centric behaviour of t/30shell.t. | |
| 1397 | ||
| 1398 | * do not complain THAT often about uninstalled YAML or YAML::Syck; once | |
| 1399 | is per distro enough. | |
| 1400 | ||
| 1401 | 2006-10-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1402 | ||
| 1403 | * release 1.88_54 | |
| 1404 | ||
| 1405 | * New option 'yaml_module' to switch between YAML.pm and YAML::Syck | |
| 1406 | Try 'o conf init /yaml/' to use it. | |
| 1407 | ||
| 1408 | * New distroprefs system that lets the user store arguments, environment | |
| 1409 | variables, individual answers to questions asked by Distributions when | |
| 1410 | being built, and config overrides. Try 'o conf init /prefs/' for more | |
| 1411 | information. | |
| 1412 | ||
| 1413 | * address #21144 major documentation bug: $obj->install is NOT the same | |
| 1414 | as CPAN::Shell->install($obj) as soon as a queue of dependencies comes | |
| 1415 | into play. | |
| 1416 | ||
| 1417 | * fix "o conf defaults" which was broken in 1.88_53. | |
| 1418 | ||
| 1419 | * protect us against Module::Build errors with an eval around the | |
| 1420 | requires() and build_requires() calls. | |
| 1421 | ||
| 1422 | 2006-10-09 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1423 | ||
| 1424 | * release 1.88_53 | |
| 1425 | ||
| 1426 | * wrapping Module::Build calls into an eval to catch external errors | |
| 1427 | with the right consequences. | |
| 1428 | ||
| 1429 | * 'reload cpan' now based on timestamps and always jumps into a fresh | |
| 1430 | shell when needed. | |
| 1431 | ||
| 1432 | * display the version during loading of our own modules. | |
| 1433 | ||
| 1434 | * address #21692: make the "isa perl" case less noisy (Gabor Szabo) | |
| 1435 | ||
| 1436 | * new tests | |
| 1437 | ||
| 1438 | 2006-10-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1439 | ||
| 1440 | * release 1.88_52 | |
| 1441 | ||
| 1442 | * now does the right thing with prereq "perl" | |
| 1443 | ||
| 1444 | * major speedup in parsing of index files | |
| 1445 | ||
| 1446 | * repair debugging aid to display the correct line number | |
| 1447 | ||
| 1448 | * fix bug introduced in _51 regarding Test::Harness version verification | |
| 1449 | ||
| 1450 | * fix old bug in CPAN::Version wrt installed developer versions | |
| 1451 | ||
| 1452 | 2006-09-29 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1453 | ||
| 1454 | * release 1.88_51 | |
| 1455 | ||
| 1456 | * dependencies declared as 'build_requires' are now treated according to | |
| 1457 | a new policy option: try 'o conf init build_requires_install_policy' for | |
| 1458 | more info. (Suggested/Requested by Johan Vromans) | |
| 1459 | ||
| 1460 | * fixed a bug where successful tests were repeated if things were not | |
| 1461 | being installed like during the 'test' command itself. | |
| 1462 | ||
| 1463 | * address #21724: document that the 'r' command takes arguments; support | |
| 1464 | the same arguments for the 'upgrade' command (Adam Kennedy) | |
| 1465 | ||
| 1466 | * address #21716: fix the broken 'recent' command (Phil Pennock) | |
| 1467 | ||
| 1468 | * fixed a rare but extremely unpleasant bug with deep recursion in | |
| 1469 | AUTOLOAD during the 'reload cpan' command. | |
| 1470 | ||
| 1471 | 2006-09-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1472 | ||
| 1473 | * release 1.8801 | |
| 1474 | ||
| 1475 | * trivial bugfix: init dialog had a tweak that made it impossible to set | |
| 1476 | 'ncftp' when 'ncftpget' was installed and configured. | |
| 1477 | ||
| 1478 | 2006-09-21 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1479 | ||
| 1480 | * release 1.88 | |
| 1481 | ||
| 1482 | * For detailed changes since 1.87 see the entries in the Changes file. | |
| 1483 | For finer grained change log see the ChangeLog.svn file. The highlights | |
| 1484 | of this release are: | |
| 1485 | ||
| 1486 | * convenient configuration: dialogs for individual items or groups of | |
| 1487 | items can be accessed with a single command (Courtesy Jim Cromie) | |
| 1488 | ||
| 1489 | * experimental support for CPAN::Reporter: try | |
| 1490 | o conf init /test/ | |
| 1491 | (Courtesy David Golden) | |
| 1492 | ||
| 1493 | * make installation of scripts easier: try something like | |
| 1494 | install SREZIC/pingomatic-1.012 | |
| 1495 | (Courtesy Slaven Rezic) | |
| 1496 | ||
| 1497 | * colored output for better separation of process output, messages from | |
| 1498 | CPAN and warnings from CPAN: to turn colorization on/off try | |
| 1499 | o conf init /color/ | |
| 1500 | ||
| 1501 | * formatting of lists of modules now features a column to indicate | |
| 1502 | installed and updateable modules | |
| 1503 | ||
| 1504 | * signature checking can now be turned on and off with 'o conf check_sigs' | |
| 1505 | ||
| 1506 | * new command 'upgrade' installs newest version of all installed modules | |
| 1507 | ||
| 1508 | * Please note a minor incompatibility: the init dialog now has reversed | |
| 1509 | semantics: it suggests automatic configuration that can be confirmed | |
| 1510 | with 'yes' instead of suggesting manual configuration that can be denied | |
| 1511 | with 'no'. | |
| 1512 | ||
| 1513 | 2006-09-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1514 | ||
| 1515 | * release 1.87_65 | |
| 1516 | ||
| 1517 | * Hunting missing documentation with Test::Pod::Coverage because my | |
| 1518 | first try to use it started with a wrong copy&paste. | |
| 1519 | ||
| 1520 | * Forward compatibility: bzip2 via Archive::Tar not dying anymore | |
| 1521 | ||
| 1522 | 2006-09-16 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1523 | ||
| 1524 | * release 1.87_64 | |
| 1525 | ||
| 1526 | * added test for the urllist dialog | |
| 1527 | ||
| 1528 | * added License to all pm files and to the Makefile.PL | |
| 1529 | ||
| 1530 | * allow ranges in urllist dialog, as inspired by Andrew Strebkov | |
| 1531 | ||
| 1532 | * allow "o conf init WORD WORD2..." | |
| 1533 | ||
| 1534 | * address #21484: disable inactivity_timeout when d_alarm is not "define" | |
| 1535 | ||
| 1536 | * regex in "o conf init MATCH" must now be enclosed in slashes as in all | |
| 1537 | other commands that allow regexes | |
| 1538 | ||
| 1539 | * again tested with 5.8.0, this time with an UTF8 locale and it did | |
| 1540 | indeed not pass the 30test: turning LANG=C now for the 30shell test, | |
| 1541 | unconditionally | |
| 1542 | ||
| 1543 | * all supported config variables now documented in the POD and added a | |
| 1544 | test to monitor changes in the future | |
| 1545 | ||
| 1546 | 2006-09-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1547 | ||
| 1548 | * release 1.87_63 | |
| 1549 | ||
| 1550 | * should run on 5.8.0 now | |
| 1551 | ||
| 1552 | * address #17973: always honour user defined URLs over default URLs | |
| 1553 | ||
| 1554 | 2006-09-11 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1555 | ||
| 1556 | * release 1.87_62 | |
| 1557 | ||
| 1558 | * make term_ornaments switchable while running (was only checked during | |
| 1559 | initialization) | |
| 1560 | ||
| 1561 | * verify that color settings are applicable (bad colors were killing the | |
| 1562 | shell process completely) | |
| 1563 | ||
| 1564 | * improve wording and logic when user is offline and tries to run | |
| 1565 | the urllist dialog. (Address debian bug #380551) | |
| 1566 | ||
| 1567 | 2006-09-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1568 | ||
| 1569 | * release 1.87_61 | |
| 1570 | ||
| 1571 | * configuation of urllist uses a local urllist instead of the global | |
| 1572 | configured one: prevents that ^C accidentally kills the currently | |
| 1573 | configured urllist | |
| 1574 | ||
| 1575 | * configuration of urllist: if there is already a previous pick, one can | |
| 1576 | go through the dialog with RETURN only | |
| 1577 | ||
| 1578 | * new options to get colored output: colorize_output, colorize_print, | |
| 1579 | colorize_warn | |
| 1580 | ||
| 1581 | 2006-09-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1582 | ||
| 1583 | * release 1.87_59: "o conf init MATCH" finally works and can be used to | |
| 1584 | jump into the configuration dialog and select an arbitrary subset of | |
| 1585 | questions. | |
| 1586 | ||
| 1587 | * perl -I. -MCPAN ... now works because we replaced C<no lib .> with | |
| 1588 | rel2absing the INC (suggested by Slaven Rezic) | |
| 1589 | ||
| 1590 | 2006-08-31 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1591 | ||
| 1592 | * release 1.87_58: work is still in progress to get "o conf init MATCH" | |
| 1593 | working (finishing the epochal Jim Cromie patches) but all tests pass | |
| 1594 | ||
| 1595 | * initial configuration dialogue now has reversed meaning: automatic | |
| 1596 | configuration can be confirmed with 'yes' instead of having to deny | |
| 1597 | manual configuration with 'no' | |
| 1598 | ||
| 1599 | * fix a bug reported by David Golden, that Bundle::CPAN is never | |
| 1600 | uptodate. Fixing it by special-casing readline.pm in the inst_file | |
| 1601 | method. See also #17963. | |
| 1602 | ||
| 1603 | * Address #18196 once again because people have still MakeMaker < 6.18 | |
| 1604 | installed. | |
| 1605 | ||
| 1606 | 2006-08-26 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1607 | ||
| 1608 | * release 1.87_57 | |
| 1609 | ||
| 1610 | * Added by David Golden: support for CPAN::Reporter. | |
| 1611 | ||
| 1612 | 2006-08-24 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1613 | ||
| 1614 | * release 1.87_56 | |
| 1615 | ||
| 1616 | * Tiny documentation improvements | |
| 1617 | ||
| 1618 | * Fix by David Golden to suppress warnings when using term_ornaments | |
| 1619 | ||
| 1620 | 2006-07-29 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1621 | ||
| 1622 | * release 1.87_55 | |
| 1623 | ||
| 1624 | * improve the heuristics when parsing PREREQ for scripts | |
| 1625 | ||
| 1626 | * document CPAN::Module::as_glimpse changes and fix the case where we | |
| 1627 | have no author or no distro and added some tests for these cases | |
| 1628 | ||
| 1629 | 2006-07-23 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1630 | ||
| 1631 | * release 1.87_54 | |
| 1632 | ||
| 1633 | * fix #18165: new config option term_ornaments | |
| 1634 | ||
| 1635 | * fix #20272: FirstTime::init did not preserve the space that signifies | |
| 1636 | "disabled program" | |
| 1637 | ||
| 1638 | 2006-07-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1639 | ||
| 1640 | * release 1.87_53 | |
| 1641 | ||
| 1642 | * make *scripts* (as opposed to modules) installable when the path of | |
| 1643 | the distro is given: you can now 'install ANDK/keepcool-0.344' and it is | |
| 1644 | stored as 'keepcool' | |
| 1645 | ||
| 1646 | * the m command displays one column more: an equals sign if we have this | |
| 1647 | version installed, a less-than sign if our installed version of the | |
| 1648 | module is smaller and a space if we do not have this thing installed | |
| 1649 | ||
| 1650 | * fix #18438: weird dependency chain issue that broke | |
| 1651 | amavis/SpamAssassin | |
| 1652 | ||
| 1653 | * fix #20168: when a user has neither Module::Signature nor gnupg, do | |
| 1654 | not warn them | |
| 1655 | ||
| 1656 | * patch by Matisse Enzer to support authenticating proxies | |
| 1657 | ||
| 1658 | * new command "upgrade" installs newer versions of all installed modules | |
| 1659 | if there are any (feature requested by Martin Sluka) | |
| 1660 | ||
| 1661 | * release 1.87_52 | |
| 1662 | ||
| 1663 | * add support for check_sigs configuration option (turn signature | |
| 1664 | checking on and off any time) | |
| 1665 | ||
| 1666 | * fix #18011: improved initial configuration according to suggestions by | |
| 1667 | Vassilii Khachaturov | |
| 1668 | ||
| 1669 | 2006-03-06 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1670 | ||
| 1671 | * release 1.87_51 | |
| 1672 | ||
| 1673 | * patch by Max Maischein to quote commands that contain spaces as is | |
| 1674 | often the case on Windows systems (addresses #17877) | |
| 1675 | ||
| 1676 | * do not display DSLIP_STATUS when it is empty; same thing for MANPAGE | |
| 1677 | ||
| 1678 | * add a security advice to the manpage | |
| 1679 | ||
| 1680 | * do not advertise Bundle::CPAN when a new CPAN is available, CPAN alone | |
| 1681 | should do | |
| 1682 | ||
| 1683 | 2006-02-27 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1684 | ||

| 1686 | ||
| 1687 | * new method dslip_status for Module objects | |
| 1688 | ||
| 1689 | * no t/dot-cpan/ directory in the distro anymore and removed after test | |
| 1690 | ||
| 1691 | * bugfix: when make clean failed, we did not list this as a fail | |
| 1692 | ||
| 1693 | * more tests in t/30shell.t, sub coverage on CPAN.pm now >75% | |
| 1694 | ||
| 1695 | 2006-02-23 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1696 | ||
| 1697 | * release 1.86_53 | |
| 1698 | ||
| 1699 | * t/30shell emits two test headers (fixes #17816; Adam Kennedy) | |
| 1700 | ||
| 1701 | * make Tarzip work better on uncompressed files; fixes test failure of | |
| 1702 | test t/12cpan.t work under some conditions | |
| 1703 | ||
| 1704 | * t/30shell now skips tests that need uninstalled prerequisites and so | |
| 1705 | passes all tests on a bare 5.8.8 for me when CPAN_RUN_SHELL_TEST is set | |
| 1706 | ||
| 1707 | 2006-02-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1708 | ||
| 1709 | * release 1.86_52 | |
| 1710 | ||
| 1711 | * simplification of the concepts of home and of the CPAN/MyConfig.pm and | |
| 1712 | the CPAN/Config.pm. There were too many places that tried to do the same | |
| 1713 | thing. Should now be centralized and consistent. | |
| 1714 | ||
| 1715 | 2006-02-21 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1716 | ||
| 1717 | * release 1.86_51 | |
| 1718 | ||
| 1719 | * replace the concept of $ENV{HOME} with File::HomeDir (fixes #17759; | |
| 1720 | Adam Kennedy) | |
| 1721 | ||
| 1722 | * remove a spurious CARRIAGE RETURN in the Todo file: it broke | |
| 1723 | Module::Signature on Windows (fixes #17746; Adam Kennedy) | |
| 1724 | ||
| 1725 | * return empty string instead of undef when HAVE_MAKE is false (fixes | |
| 1726 | #17768; Adam Kennedy) | |
| 1727 | ||
| 1728 | * do not try to use $CPAN::Frontend before it exists (fixes #17770; Adam | |
| 1729 | Kennedy) | |
| 1730 | ||
| 1731 | * t/12cpan.t now behaves on 5.004 and 5.005 | |
| 1732 | ||
| 1733 | * t/30shell.t now can be run without Expect; needs to be enabled with | |
| 1734 | environment variable CPAN_RUN_SHELL_TEST in this case | |
| 1735 | ||
| 1736 | * more testing in 30shell.t | |
| 1737 | ||
| 1738 | 2006-02-20 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1739 | ||
| 1740 | * release 1.86 | |
| 1741 | ||
| 1742 | * quick fix for a bug in the Checksums checking code: if the cache had | |
| 1743 | an old copy, it was in some cases not updated and if the file-to-check | |
| 1744 | was newer, a false alarm was triggered. | |
| 1745 | ||
| 1746 | * I expect a 1.87 soonish, because we have open bugs: test 12cpan.t not | |
| 1747 | suited for old perls; test for the above bug missing. | |
| 1748 | ||
| 1749 | 2006-02-19 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1750 | ||
| 1751 | * release 1.85 | |
| 1752 | ||
| 1753 | * Fix for 'install Bundle:CPAN' on Windows machines (closes #17699; Adam | |
| 1754 | Kennedy) | |
| 1755 | ||
| 1756 | * Make a separate distro for Bundle::CPAN (works around the bug for | |
| 1757 | older versions of CPAN) | |
| 1758 | ||
| 1759 | * Another fix for bundles: in some cases CPAN.pm installed an older | |
| 1760 | bundle than the most recent | |
| 1761 | ||
| 1762 | * more tests: CPAN.pm subroutine coverage now at 71.4% | |
| 1763 | ||
| 1764 | 2006-02-15 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |

| 1768 | * see detailed release notes for releases 1.83_51 upto 1.83_69 below | |
| 1769 | ||
| 1770 | * highlights of the changes between 1.83 and 1.84: better error handling | |
| 1771 | with new "failed" command and in many other places; new config variable | |
| 1772 | ftp_passive is on by default; new command mkmyconfig; Module::Build | |
| 1773 | support should now work on Windows and work better on all platforms; new | |
| 1774 | methods for programmers CPAN::Module::distribution and | |
| 1775 | CPAN::Distribution::author; improved docs; prettier output; and last not | |
| 1776 | least a heavy dose of refactoring, bugfixing, and testing | |
| 1777 | ||
| 1778 | * Thanks to the bunch of helpful contributors and bug reporters (you | |
| 1779 | know who you are:) | |
| 1780 | ||
| 1781 | 2006-02-14 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1782 | ||

| 1796 | does not exist (brought up by Jarkko) | |
| 1797 | ||
| 1798 | * patch by Sebastien Aperghis-Tramoni to avoid a SEGV with 5.004_05 | |
| 1799 | which happens when exit is called within BEGIN | |
| 1800 | ||
| 1801 | 2006-02-08 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |

| 1813 | 2006-02-06 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |

| 1828 | ||
| 1829 | * experimental and undocumented new method CPAN::Distribution::fast_yaml | |
| 1830 | ||

| 1839 | 2006-02-02 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1840 | ||
| 1841 | * release 1.83_64 (potential release candidate for 1.84) | |
| 1842 | ||
| 1843 | * bugfix: when M:B specifies both requires AND build_requires AND then | |
| 1844 | has no YAML to write the META.yml file, THEN we did not merge the two | |
| 1845 | requiries. Seen in KCLARK/Text-RecordParser-v1.0.0.tar.gz. | |
| 1846 | ||
| 1847 | 2006-02-01 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1848 | ||
| 1849 | * release 1.83_63 | |

| 1862 | ||
| 1863 | 2006-01-30 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1864 | ||
| 1865 | * release 1.83_61 | |
| 1866 | ||
| 1867 | * After a bugreport from Randy Kobes, another few small fixes to make | |
| 1868 | sure that mbuild_install_build_command cannot make it through to be used | |
| 1869 | anywhere. | |
| 1870 | ||
| 1871 | * release 1.83_60 | |
| 1872 | ||
| 1873 | * bugfix: Do not use ./Build directly on Windows, it must be called | |
| 1874 | together with the perl (fixes #17313; thanks to carl at fireartist for | |
| 1875 | the report and a patch skeleton) | |
| 1876 | ||
| 1877 | * feature: 'o conf commit' now drops unknown config variables | |
| 1878 | ||
| 1879 | * bugfix for very rare cases: do not use CPAN::Distrostatus object | |
| 1880 | methods on strings left over from the current session before a 'cpan | |
| 1881 | reload' introduces the CPAN::Distrostatus class | |
| 1882 | ||
| 1883 | * bugfix: better switches for the call to curl | |
| 1884 | ||
| 1885 | * bugfix: more checks after lynx if the command was successful or not | |
| 1886 | ||
| 1887 | * docs: revisited the FAQ section | |
| 1888 | ||
| 1889 | * bugfix: if a META.yml specified a prerequisite module that we do not | |
| 1890 | know, the whole prereq_pm became undef; now issues a warning and skips | |
| 1891 | the unknown thing | |
| 1892 | ||
| 1893 | 2006-01-25 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1894 | ||
| 1895 | * release 1.83_59 | |
| 1896 | ||

| 1898 | set; fixes #17266 (Adam Kennedy) | |
| 1899 | ||
| 1900 | * have 2 Default Hosts instead of one; fixes rt #17238 (Adam Kennedy) | |
| 1901 | ||

| 1903 | fixes rt #17237 and #17241 (Adam Kennedy) | |

| 1909 | 2006-01-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |

| 1914 | ||
| 1915 | * README production was broken | |
| 1916 | ||
| 1917 | * Ongoing heavy refactoring of FirstTime, currently still without | |
| 1918 | becoming visible to the user (Jim Cromie) | |
| 1919 | ||
| 1920 | * More tests for CPAN::Version with output comparing the results with | |
| 1921 | Sort::Versions and version.pm | |
| 1922 | ||
| 1923 | * bugfix: double check the "later" attribute before you excuse and unset | |
| 1924 | it if it is obsolete; fixes a bug where a postponed distro could be lost | |
| 1925 | from the queue | |
| 1926 | ||
| 1927 | * output of as_glimpse more space efficient | |
| 1928 | ||
| 1929 | 2006-01-19 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1930 | ||
| 1931 | * release 1.83_57 | |
| 1932 | ||

| 1934 | unrecoverable errors that require user intervention | |
| 1935 | ||
| 1936 | * shell.t improved again: now the output reads really similar to a shell | |
| 1937 | session so we can determine which problems were leading to a failing | |
| 1938 | test | |
| 1939 | ||
| 1940 | 2006-01-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1941 | ||
| 1942 | * release 1.83_56 | |
| 1943 | ||
| 1944 | * bugfix rt #17089 (Adam Kennedy): the existance of a Build.PL without a | |
| 1945 | Makefile.PL implies a Module::Build dependency | |
| 1946 | ||
| 1947 | * skipping the signature test now possible with "force" | |
| 1948 | ||
| 1949 | * more tests in shell.t | |
| 1950 | ||
| 1951 | * improved documentation | |
| 1952 | ||
| 1953 | * new method CPAN::Module->distribution | |
| 1954 | ||
| 1955 | 2006-01-14 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1956 | ||
| 1957 | * release 1.83_55 | |
| 1958 | ||
| 1959 | * improve error handling on Net::FTP connections (R. Hauser; fixes rt | |
| 1960 | #1572) | |
| 1961 | ||
| 1962 | * shell.t starts working on installations that have a CPAN/Config.pm | |
| 1963 | ||
| 1964 | 2006-01-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1965 | ||
| 1966 | * release 1.83_54 | |
| 1967 | ||
| 1968 | * conveniently handle $Config->{make} on systems that often switch | |
| 1969 | between dmake and nmake, like ActiveState's perl (Gisle Aas) | |
| 1970 | ||
| 1971 | * better choice for command processor on Win32 (Gisle Aas) | |
| 1972 | ||
| 1973 | * newest cpan script (1.51) from brian d foy | |
| 1974 | ||
| 1975 | * "force ls" now refetches the CHECKSUMS files | |
| 1976 | ||
| 1977 | * shell.t now conforming to Test-Anything-Protocol and hopefully working | |
| 1978 | on more platforms. | |
| 1979 | ||
| 1980 | 2006-01-12 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1981 | ||
| 1982 | * release 1.83_53 | |
| 1983 | ||
| 1984 | * bugfix: if we have no YAML and no Makefile, we could not determine | |
| 1985 | prereqs. Now fixed by using Module::Build. | |
| 1986 | ||
| 1987 | * bugfix: b command on unpublished bundles was broken due to wrong | |
| 1988 | handling of missing RO elements. | |
| 1989 | ||
| 1990 | * bugfix: do not die when you cannot verify a signature, proceed with a | |
| 1991 | fail instead. | |
| 1992 | ||
| 1993 | * new command "failed" reports about failed invocations of make, test or | |
| 1994 | install on CPAN::Distribution objects. | |
| 1995 | ||
| 1996 | * Jim's bold fight against the FirstTime dragons continues. | |
| 1997 | ||
| 1998 | 2006-01-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1999 | ||
| 2000 | * release 1.83_52 is a work in progress: Jim is proceeding with the | |
| 2001 | dressage of the FirstTime. It actually contains shell.t. | |
| 2002 | ||
| 2003 | 2006-01-08 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2004 | ||
| 2005 | * release 1.83_51 brings | |
| 2006 | ||
| 2007 | * restructure FirstTime in a way to enable us to ask single questions RSN | |
| 2008 | (Jim Cromie) | |
| 2009 | ||
| 2010 | * shell.t that can test dialogues | |
| 2011 | ||
| 2012 | * bugfix: show_upload_date now asks yes/no instead of 1/0 (Ask B. Hansen) | |
| 2013 | ||
| 2014 | * envariable CPAN_SHELL_LEVEL now available for subshells (Slaven Rezic) | |
| 2015 | ||
| 2016 | * enable date/time warnings without the help of HTTP::Date (inspired by | |
| 2017 | a bogus bugreport on perl monks that was only due to wrong system time) | |
| 2018 | ||
| 2019 | * bugfix: hide CPAN::Config from the indexer | |
| 2020 | ||
| 2021 | * provide a more traditional style ChangeLog and Changes file | |
| 2022 | ||
| 2023 | 2006-01-05 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2024 | ||
| 2025 | * release 1.82 and 1.83 are quick bugfix releases. | |
| 2026 | ||
| 2027 | 2006-01-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2028 | ||
| 2029 | * release 1.81 adds on top of 1.80_58: | |
| 2030 | ||
| 2031 | * bugfix: completion of debug options was not case insensitive | |
| 2032 | ||
| 2033 | * bugfix: installation of distributions was broken for distros | |
| 2034 | not mentioned in the index | |
| 2035 | ||
| 2036 | * include a hint that su might work as well as sudo in the dialog | |
| 2037 | about make_install_make_command and mbuild_install_build_command | |
| 2038 | ||
| 2039 | * add Module::Signature to the Bundle and move Digest::SHA higher | |
| 2040 | up so they start working as soon as possible | |
| 2041 | ||
| 2042 | * improve the dialog that ensues when bad signatures are | |
| 2043 | encountered | |
| 2044 | ||
| 2045 | 2006-01-01 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2046 | ||
| 2047 | * release 1.80_58 was a quick bugfix release | |
| 2048 | ||
| 2049 | 2005-12-31 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2050 | ||
| 2051 | * release 1.80_57 adds on top of 1.80_56 the following: | |
| 2052 | ||
| 2053 | * prerequisites fixed: File::Temp was missing in PREREQ_PM and | |
| 2054 | Bundle | |
| 2055 | ||
| 2056 | * reduce noise when $Debug is on | |
| 2057 | ||
| 2058 | * improved handling of whitespace in filenames (Roland Bauer; | |
| 2059 | rt.cpan.org #3201) | |
| 2060 | ||
| 2061 | * add the Module::Build configuration parameters to the required | |
| 2062 | parameters (thus users are relayed to the init dialog) | |
| 2063 | ||
| 2064 | * import less symbols | |
| 2065 | ||
| 2066 | * enhanced robustness if cwd gets removed while we're running | |
| 2067 | (Rhet Turnbull; rt.cpan.org #321) | |
| 2068 | ||
| 2069 | * add "notest" to the completion table | |
| 2070 | ||
| 2071 | * enhanced robustness when untar is failing or poses permission | |
| 2072 | problems | |
| 2073 | ||
| 2074 | * iron out some buglets in the "ls GLOB" code | |
| 2075 | ||
| 2076 | * enhanced robustness on "reload cpan" when the path to CPAN.pm | |
| 2077 | has changed | |
| 2078 | ||
| 2079 | * replace some hash accesses with method calls for a cleaner | |
| 2080 | interface (Work in Progress; no user-visible changes) | |
| 2081 | ||
| 2082 | * do not fail anymore when finding empty files left over from a | |
| 2083 | previous unsuccessful download | |
| 2084 | ||
| 2085 | * uptodate message more descriptive (Adam Kennedy; rt.cpan.rg | |
| 2086 | #15580) | |
| 2087 | ||
| 2088 | 2005-12-17 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2089 | ||
| 2090 | * release 1.80_56 is a release candidate for 1.81 | |
| 2091 | ||
| 2092 | * integrate release 1.5 of brian's cpan script from | |
| 2093 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/brian-d-foy/ | |
| 2094 | ||
| 2095 | * Support for Module::Build: to set the preference for | |
| 2096 | Module::Build over MakeMaker, run | |
| 2097 | ||
| 2098 | o conf prefer_installer MB | |
| 2099 | o conf commit | |
| 2100 | ||
| 2101 | * ls command supports globbing; these work nicely: | |
| 2102 | ||
| 2103 | ls KWILLIAMS/P* | |
| 2104 | ls JV/make* | |
| 2105 | ||
| 2106 | this works too but is slow: | |
| 2107 | ||
| 2108 | ls */*make* | |
| 2109 | ||
| 2110 | * META.yml data replace the Makefile parsing code if YAML | |
| 2111 | available (compensating for the frequent wrong usage of the | |
| 2112 | requires element) | |
| 2113 | ||
| 2114 | * support SHA256; stop using MD5 | |
| 2115 | ||
| 2116 | * support bzip2 compression; can be tested with 'install | |
| 2117 | ARTURAZ/Net-Vypress-Chat-0.72.1.tar.bz2'; the CPAN indexer does | |
| 2118 | not yet index bz2 distros but will probably start to do so as soon | |
| 2119 | as CPANPLUS supports bzip2 | |
| 2120 | ||
| 2121 | * tiny tweaks to make CPAN.pm run on a busybox (Guillaume Filion) | |
| 2122 | ||
| 2123 | * bugfix: major speedup on all commands that need expansion of | |
| 2124 | regular expressions to module names | |
| 2125 | ||
| 2126 | * prettier r command output: the 4th column of the 'r' command | |
| 2127 | drops the redundant X/XX/ prefix | |
| 2128 | ||
| 2129 | * tolerant when you type one colon instead of two on module names | |
| 2130 | ||
| 2131 | 2005-12-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2132 | ||
| 2133 | * this is release 1.80 | |
| 2134 | ||
| 2135 | * support for Module::Signature courtesy Autrijus Tang | |
| 2136 | ||
| 2137 | * separated out new module CPAN::Version that has muchly improved | |
| 2138 | support for multidot version notation that should make the | |
| 2139 | deployment of version.pm easy for everybody. During the last weeks | |
| 2140 | the indexer on PAUSE also got improved version.pm support and | |
| 2141 | spits out numified versions. This release is optimized for the new | |
