1891----------------
28757baa 1892Version 5.003_20
1893----------------
1894
1895The only language change in this release is the recension of support
1896for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be
1897a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition,
1898there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named
1899functions as closures.
1900
1901And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation
1902updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!"

2062
2063Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory
2064leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The
2065method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test
2066directory, "t/pragma".
2067
2068IMHO, this is Beta quality code.

3532 of a "my" var extends to the end of the entire control

3534 automatically declares the control variable "my" and limits
3535 its scope to the loop.)

3659----------------
c8bc418f 3660Version 5.003_07
3661----------------
3662
3663This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed
3664in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious
3665testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004.
3666
3667If it doesn't work for you, try
3668
3669 LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
3670
3671for Bourne shell users, or
3672
3673 setenv LC_ALL C
3674
3675for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have
3676problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests
3677as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step.
3678
3679The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
3680
3681o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
3682
3683 -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for
3684 documentation on the 'w' option.
3685
3686 -untaint support added to IO extension.
3687
3688o Changes in Core Internals
3689
3690 -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
3691 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
3692 with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.)
3693
3694 -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4.
3695
3696o Configure and build enhancements
3697
3698 -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but
3699 they may be right.
3700
3701 -OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
3702
3703o Bug fixes
3704
3705 -print sort (4,1,3,2);
3706
3707 -group numbers are integers again.
3708
3709 -other things. See the specific changes for details.
3710
3711o Specific Changes
3712
3713Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
3714
3715Index: Changes
3716
3717 Updated for 5.003_07.
3718
3719 Fixed a spelling error.
3720
3721Index: Configure
3722
3723 Detect GNU libc (thanks, Skimo!) and avoid nm if we have GNU libc.
3724 Since the GNU libc test requires compiling and linking a test
3725 program, the dependencies have been altered and lots of pieces of
3726 Configure have moved around unchanged. The patch is big but the
3727 effect is little.
3728
3729 Allow for both <sys/select.h> and <time.h> in fd_set tests.
3730 Systems which don't allow both (e.g. SCO) have to turn off one
3731 or the other in the hints file for now.

3741 Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
3742
3743 This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
3744 IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
3745 that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
3746 said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
3747
3748 This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
3749 pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
3750 adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.
3751

3764 All the executable targets are moved into the same chunk with
3765 shared library target, which is delegated to

4130
4131 This broke between 5.001n and 5.002. There was a long winded thread
4132 about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around
4133 the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on
4134 p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that
4135 the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called:
4136
4137 Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above
4138 code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306.

4211 Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
4212
4213 This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
4214 IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
4215 that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
4216 said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
4217
4218 This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
4219 pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
4220 adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

f5cdf9d7 4311Version 5.003_06
4312----------------
4313This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation,
4314and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003.
4315The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
4316
4317o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
4318
4319 -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for
4320 locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod.
c8bc418f 4321 Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
f5cdf9d7 4322
4323 -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be
4324 backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex.
4325
4326 -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size
4327 %hash.
4328
4329 -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted.
4330
4331o Changes in Core Internals
4332
4333 -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03
4334 versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented
4335 as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and
4336 gv_efullname3.
4337
4338 -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
4339 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
4340 with 5.003.
4341
4342o Configure and build enhancements
4343
4344 -many new tests for the standard library.
4345
4346 -test suite now locale-friendly.
4347
4348 -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods.
4349
4350o Bug fixes
4351
4352 -whitespace lexer errors fixed.
4353
4354 -many, many other things. See details below.
4355
4356o Specific Changes

4391The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is
4392designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
4393
4394 csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}'
4395
4396(Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your
4397csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100
4398files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.)

4735 I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used

4737 I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
4738 needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
4739 hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.

4809 It would IMHO be much better if the AutoLoader exported the AUTOLOAD()
4810 function. With an exported AUTOLOAD() we would not have to inherit
4811 from AutoLoader, and we would avoid these problems.

5293 related to the numeric values of $! and $^E. This patch *REPLACES*
5294 the one I posted earlier, which was only effective for $!.

5307 The patch below (which is relative to perl5.001l) implements
5308 "keys %hash = 50_000;" (or other integer-evaluable sizes) for
5309 pre-sizing hashes. I've only moved the patch forward from
5310 when I first did it. I'm sure the code in hv_ksplit could be

5364
5365 The effect is to remove the CHAR_* and I8_* constants (which are
5366 ambiguous) and to explicitly cast all of the constants.

5825 Bugs found in pod2man
5826
5827 The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed:
5828
5829 1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not
5830 treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been
5831 rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked
5832 around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand,
5833 remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs
5834 can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod,
5835 without breaking links.]
5836
5837 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part
5838 of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the
5839 \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source
5840 having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.]
5841
5842 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass
5843 by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'.
5844
5845 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff
5846 from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction.
5847
5848 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this
5849 confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins
5850 with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead
5851 of basic functions."'.
5852
5853 Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod
5854 modules, when ready, will not have these defects.

5877
5878 This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
5879 on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
5880 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
5881 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
5882 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
5883 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
5884 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
5885 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
5886 this should not introduce any insecurity.

5917 Subject: Patch to patch for untainting
5918
5919 The following patch ensures that a glob used as a filehandle that
5920 has had the UNTAINT flag set will not carry that flag over on a
5921 re-open. In a nutshell, a re-open of the DATA filehandle would be
5922 considered untainted, and an object of class IO::Handle (or one of
5923 its sub-classes) that is marked untainted with the untaint method,
5924 then closed and re-opened, retained the untaintedness.

5928
5929 First, with IO::untaint, the patches as posted resulted in a
5930 miniperl which couldn't open files, so the autosplitting of the
5931 library and the creation of Makefiles for the extensions didn't
5932 work. Worse, it didn't just fail to open files, it dumped core.

6018 Subject: Re: "Attempt to free non-existent shared string"? (with patch)
6019
6020 I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
6021 to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
6022 I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
6023 needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
6024 hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
6025
6026 Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.
6027 The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private
6028 flag.

6436 Subject: Patch: Untaint FH flag and clean DATA handles
6437
6438 This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
6439 on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
6440 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
6441 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
6442 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
6443 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
6444 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
6445 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
6446 this should not introduce any insecurity.
6447
6448 This patch *does not*:
6449
6450 * Add the "untaint" keyword.

6489 The h2xs that is in perl5.003_05 has a regexp bug which prevents it from
6490 finding #define statements and filling the constant() function. This patch
6491 fixes that. The h2xs_test program found this--maybe people who are
6492 modifying h2xs should get a copy of the test program.
6493
6494 This also adds a -d to enable debugging messages (there's just one for now).
6495 I've also placed some of the doc-related things in alphabetical order.
6496
6497 h2xs_test can be found in my directory on CPAN. Those of you modifying
6498 xsubpp should know there's a test suite for that, too, called XSTEST which
6499 can also be found in my directory on CPAN.

6563----------------
bde20468 6564Version 5.003_05
6565----------------
6566
6567This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
6568the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below.
6569A very brief summary is:
6570
6571o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
6572
6573 -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles.
f5cdf9d7 6574
bde20468 6575 -times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather
6576 than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some
6577 systems, but should be correct now.
6578
6579 -AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected)
6580 Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
6581 order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
6582 the same.
6583
6584o Configure and build enhancements
6585
6586 -Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
6587 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
6588 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
f5cdf9d7 6589
bde20468 6590 -You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through
6591 the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate
6592 ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently
6593 supported. Others are easy to add. (This makes like a lot easier
6594 for embedders.)
6595
6596 -VMS updates.
f5cdf9d7 6597
bde20468 6598 -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only
6599 prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
6600
6601o Bug fixes
6602
6603 -debugger ought to work.
6604
6605 -A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented
6606 5.003_04 from working most places.
6607
6608 -numerous smaller ones, detailed below.
6609
6610o Specific Changes
6611
6612Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
6613
6614# This is my patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl5.003_04
6615# The full description is below.
6616# Please execute the following commands before applying this patch.

6626
6627
6628This is patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl version 5.003_04.
6629This takes you from 5.003_04 to 5.003_05.
6630
6631To apply this patch, run the above commands,
6632cd to your perl source directory and then type
6633
6634 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat
6635
6636The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
6637designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
6638
6639 csplit -k perl5.003_05.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'

6671 be in Makefile.SH. Now it's available for other modules too.)
6672
6673 When using shared libperl, avoid LD_RUN_PATH if possible by adding
6674 correct ld flags. Currently, Solaris and NetBSD get the correct
6675 -R $archlibexp/CORE, and Linux gets its

7281----------------
7282
7283This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
7284the changes made in 5.003_03. The details are described below.
7285A very brief summary is:
7286
7287o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
7288
7289 -Allow and document permissions for FileHandle::new and
7290 IO::File::new.
7291 -glob in Safe compartment used to allow shell access; now
7292 it's in the same category as `` and system().
7293
7294o Configure and build enhancements
f5cdf9d7 7295
395b538b 7296 -perl library name is again -lperl, not -lperl5 in some cases.
7297 -Several hint files no longer set -g -DDEBUGGING by default.
7298 Instead, they just turn off optimization, since that is
7299 probably what was intended.
7300 -Include OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
7301
7302o Bug fixes
7303
7304 -SEGV with $_[0] and circular references fixed.
7305 -Ilya's debugger patch.
7306 -FAKE typeglobs fixed.
7307 -truncate with file name now works.
7308 -lval substr() no longer coredumps with refs
7309 -lval substr now clears lexicals in re-entered scopes.
7310 -core dump in caller() for signal handler for __DIE__.
7311
7312o Specific Changes
7313
7314Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

7457 Subject: Patch for LONG_MAX & co.
7458
7459 Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this
7460 should resolve the *_MAX issues permanently. It adds to the
7461 previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX
7462 symbols the complete set of
7463 /PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to
7464 those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard
7465 Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN,
7466 and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are
7467 changed appropriately.
7468
7469 The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad
7470 limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all
7471 works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on.

7531 Subject: FAKE typeglobs seriously busted (with patch)
7532
7533 Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs
7534 in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't
7535 so in 5.001n).
7536 The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname()
7537 which might coerce its first arg to a string.
7538
7539 Sub-critical patch to conceivably fix some %SIG problems. (Shared hash key
7540 weren't being properly detected by some of the sig magic, but as shared
7541 hash keys wouldn't normally be used in %SIG it's unlikely this is a
7542 significant problem.)

7615Index: perlio.c
7616
7617 Removes an incorrect prototype for setlinebuf from
7618 perlio.c because it conflicts with the correct declaration in
7619 MachTen's stdio.h (and possibly other stdio's as well).
7620
7621 Secondly, the code in perlio.c is not handling the (!PERLIO_IS_STDIO &
7622 HAS_F[GS]ETPOS) case. The patch fixes this omission (in a rather lumpen
7623 manner). I don't think this should affect platforms which try to hack a
7624 different path through the #ifdef forest, but this assertion would benefit
7625 from testing...

7719 From: Chip Salzenberg <salzench@nielsenmedia.com>
7720 Subject: Track SVs for destruction when -DPURIFY
7721
7722 When checking for memory leaks, I compiled Perl with "-DPURIFY".
7723 Although that flag improves the leak checking, it also breaks
7724 destruction of global objects, because SVs aren't kept in captive
7725 arenas any more.
7726
7727 This patch rectifies the problem by providing an alternative
7728 method for keeping track of SVs when Perl is compiled for Purify.
7729 It has no effect on normal operation.

7815Most of the changes in 5.003_03 are to make the build and installation
7816process more robust. The details are described below. A very brief
7817summary is:
7818
7819o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
7820
7821 -Support for tied filehandles.
7822
7823o Configure enhancements
7824
7825 -How to build and install a shared libperl.so is now documented
7826 and supported, though it's not the default for most platforms.
7827
7828o Bug fixes
7829
7830 -Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes.
7831
7832 -If a regex supplied to split() contains paranthesized subpatterns
7833 that can result in null matches, perl no longer coredumps.
7834
7835 -Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
7836
7837 -Make h2ph architecture-independent by using Config at run-time
7838 rather than extraction time.
7839
7840o Specific Changes
7841
7842Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
7843
7844# This is my patch perl5.003_03.pat to perl5.003_02
7845# The full description is below.
7846# Please execute the following commands before applying this patch.
7847# (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.)

7851rm -f Changes.Conf
7852
7853# Not needed.
7854rm -f ext/POSIX/mkposixman.pl
7855
7856# Moved to README.os2. I'm not sure why the README files are
7857# here rather than in the appropriate subdirectories.
7858rm -f os2/README
7859
7860# Not needed.
7861rm -f pod/Makefile.PL
7862
7863# New test for bit ops.
7864touch t/op/bob.t
7865
7866# Patches that create new tests don't always make them executable.
7867chmod +x t/*/*.t
7868
7869# Create a new directory for Porting and Patching info.
7870mkdir Porting
7871
7872exit 0
7873
7874This is patch perl5.003_03.pat to perl version 5.003_02.
7875This takes you from 5.003_02 to 5.003_03.
7876
7877To apply this patch, run the above commands,
7878cd to your perl source directory and then type
7879
7880 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_03.pat
7881
7882The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
7883designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
7884
7885 csplit -k perl5.003_03.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'
7886
7887Patch and enjoy,

7893Index: Changes
7894
7895 Include 5.003_03 change notes.
7896
7897 Move older change notes to separate files.
7898
7899Index: Changes5.000
7900
7901 New file. Changes from perl4.036 to 5.000.
7902
7903Index: Changes5.001
7904
7905 New file. Changes from 5.000 to 5.001
7906
7907Index: Changes5.002
7908
7909 New file. Changes from 5.001 to 5.002
7910
7911Index: Changes5.003
7912
7913 New file. Changes from 5.002 to 5.003
7914
7915Index: Configure
7916
7917 Relaxed warning about ksh on exotic machines.
7918
7919 Changed usesafe to useopcode.
7920
7921 Add search for gzip and zip.
7922
7923 Look more carefully for $sh (the Bourne-ish shell).
7924 Use that info to set $startsh correctly.
7925
7926 Change prompts for PerlIO interface. See INSTALL
7927 for how this is supposed to work. The default is
7928 still the same as in 5.003_02, namely don't use
7929 any fancy new PerlIO stuff.
7930
7931 Don't look for sigvec() since we don't actually use it.
7932 (Plus, it used to print an alarming misleading message about
7933 race conditions.)
7934
7935 Look for stdio's _filbuf under the possible names of
7936 _filbuf, __filbuf, and _fill.
7937
7938 New $useshrplib variable to control whether we build a shared
7939 libperl.so. The name of the library is in $libperl.
7940 Always install it in $installarchlib/CORE/$libperl.
7941
7942 Check for <sys/resource.h> and <sys/wait.h> for NetBSD.
7943
7944 Replace old $altmake stuff with newer autoconf-ish
7945 $make_set_make, which checks if $make sets $(MAKE). Now you
7946 choose an alternate make with sh Configure -Dmake=gmake (or
7947 whatever).
7948
7949 Remove 'ln' for the list of essential commands. Simulate
7950 it with 'cp' if necessary.
7951
7952 Change `logname` prompts to handle extra gratuitous spaces in
7953 Ultrix output.
7954
7955 Autodetect os2.
7956
7957 Fix silly bug in checking for fully-qualified names in /etc/hosts.
7958
7959 Generalize Gconvert tests. Give correct and more useful
7960 error messages.
7961
7962 Use $obj_ext instead of literal '.o' in the dynaloader test.
7963
7964 Include appropriate header files in bcopy() and memcpy()
7965 tests. Note whether memmove is available.
7966
7967 Check whether struct sigaction works (needed for Solaris 2.5
7968 with -Xc).
7969
7970 Include appropriate header files for randbits test.
7971
7972Index: INSTALL
7973
7974 Add note about space requirements.
7975
7976 Update to match Configure changes (Opcode vs. Safe,
7977 useperlio, useshrplib, etc.)
7978
7979 Reorganize the structure of some of the hints.
7980
7981 Miscellaneous clarifications.
7982
7983Index: MANIFEST
7984
7985 Updated. 5.003_02 introduced some massive patches, mostly
7986 due to spacing changes. I didn't bother to sort them all out;
7987 I just started with 5.003's MANIEFST.
7988
7989Index: Makefile.SH
7990
7991 Support the new simplified shared libperl mechanism.
7992
7993 Use new $make_set_make directive.
7994
7995 Remove redundant libperl Make variable.
7996
7997 Remove unnecessary MAB variable.
7998
7999 Remove dependency of minitest on lib/Config.pm, since it could
8000 well have been a failure of configpm that inspired testing
8001 miniperl in the first place!
8002
8003Index: Porting/Glossary
8004
8005 New file describing all the config.sh variables.
8006 Eventually, I hope to fill this directory with other useful
8007 stuff.
8008
8009Index: README.os2
8010
8011 Replace old README.os2 with more up-to-date os2/README.
8012
8013Index: config_H
8014
8015 Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH.
8016 Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new
8017 dependencies in the metaconfig units.
8018
8019Index: config_h.SH
8020
8021 Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH.
8022 Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new
8023 dependencies in the metaconfig units.
8024
8025 Include full descriptions of ARCHLIB, OLDARCHLIB, PRIVLIB,
8026 SITEARCH, and SITELIB. Previous versions just included the
8027 ~-expanded names (with unhelpful descriptions). No functionality
8028 is changed, but maybe it's a little better documented now.
8029
8030Index: doio.c
8031
8032 Possibly Include <signal.h> and <unistd.h>
8033
8034Index: doop.c
8035
8036 No longer prefer bcmp over memcmp when order doesn't matter.
8037
8038 Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes.
8039
8040Index: embed.h
8041
8042 Auto-generated.
8043
8044Index: embed.pl
8045
8046 Expand warning at the top.
8047
8048Index: ext/IO/IO.pm
8049
8050 Clean up docmentation installation errors.
8051
8052Index: ext/IO/lib/IO/Seekable.pm
8053
8054 Clean up docmentation installation errors.
8055
8056Index: ext/IO/lib/IO/Select.pm
8057
8058 Clean up docmentation installation errors.
8059
8060Index: ext/Opcode/Opcode.xs
8061
8062 Add support for tied filehandles.
8063
8064Index: ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/sdbm.h
8065
8066 Change the Mymalloc to match Perl_malloc in perl.h.
8067
8068Index: ext/util/make_ext
8069
8070 Typo change.
8071 Get rid of unused altmake.
8072
8073Index: global.sym
8074
8075 Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
8076
8077Index: handy.h
8078
8079 Change safe*alloc functions to have prototypes that
8080 match the system's malloc and free types. That is, use
8081 Malloc_t instead of char *, and Free_t instead of void.
8082 This is necessary so . . .
8083
8084 Safefree cast matches type of free() whether it's perl's
8085 malloc/free or the system's malloc/free.
8086
8087Index: hints/README.hints
8088
8089 Remove out-of-date info.
8090
8091 Document a bit about how hint files work.
8092
8093Index: hints/aix.sh
8094
8095 qmaxmem hint doesn't apply to gcc.
8096
8097Index: hints/dgux.sh
8098
8099 Configure will now automatically detect shared libperl stuff.
8100
8101Index: hints/dynixptx.sh
8102
8103 Fix typo in comment.
f5cdf9d7 8104
e2cc8666 8105 Configure will now automatically detect shared libperl stuff.
8106
8107Index: hints/epix.sh
8108
8109 Use glibpth instead of libpth. This allows Configure to
8110 add local directories, such as /opt/local/lib, etc.
8111
8112Index: hints/irix_6_2.sh
8113
8114 Include some info on cc -n32 compile.
8115
8116Index: hints/linux.sh
8117
8118 Configure now tests gcvt() more thoroughly.
8119
8120Index: hints/machten_2.sh
8121
8122 Update where to find dld.
8123
8124Index: hints/mips.sh
8125
8126 Use glibpth instead of libpth.
8127
8128Index: hints/next_3.sh
8129
8130 Build up $mab dynamically. Since $mab isn't used anywhere
8131 anymore, this is useless. However, $mab was never used for
8132 next_3.sh anyway, so there's been no change in functionality.
8133
8134Index: hints/next_4.sh
8135
8136 Get rid of extraneous isnext_4 variable. Configure and
8137 Makefile.SH will use $osname and $osvers instead.
8138
8139 Build up $mab dynamically based on available architectures.
8140
8141 Absorb $mab into ccflags and ccdlflags. I hope that will
8142 cover everything. (Configure should automatically remove
8143 the -arch stuff from cppflags.)
8144
8145 Configure now knows next4 needs to use a shared libperl.5.so.
8146
8147 Allow users to use -Dprefix.
8148
8149Index: hints/os2.sh
8150
8151 Try to update to reflect newer shared libperl stuff.
8152 I probably goofed :-).
8153
8154Index: hints/sco.sh
8155
8156 Additional notes on using icc.
8157
8158 Additional flags for dynamic loading.
8159
8160Index: hints/solaris_2.sh
8161
8162 Perl.h no longer prefers bcmp, so it's again ok if Configure
8163 finds them, since perl will prefer the mem* versions anyway.
8164
8165Index: hints/sunos_4_0.sh
8166
8167 Don't include <unistd.h>
8168
8169Index: hints/sunos_4_1.sh
8170
8171 Add brief note about GNU as and ld.
8172
8173 Don't include <unistd.h>
8174
8175 Add notes about WHOA THERE messages.
8176
8177Index: hints/titanos.sh
8178
8179 Include sfio in libswanted.
8180
8181 Don't set libpth any more.
8182
8183Index: hints/umips.sh
8184
8185 New hint file.
8186
8187Index: hv.c
8188
8189 Use memcmp even in cases where ordering doesn't matter.
8190
8191 Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
8192
8193Index: installperl
8194
8195 Simplify installation of shared libperl.so.
8196
8197 Avoid reaching Command Failed!!! with /usr/bin/perl.
8198
8199Index: lib/AutoSplit.pm
8200
8201 Clean up docmentation installation errors.
8202
8203Index: lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm
8204
8205 Remove MAB references.
8206
8207 Use 'useshrplib' instead of 'd_shrplib'
8208
8209Index: lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
8210
8211 Remove mab references.
8212
8213Index: lib/FindBin.pm
8214
8215 Clean up docmentation installation errors.
8216
8217Index: lib/Symbol.pm
8218
8219 Put back in the BEGIN { require 5.002; }. The version in
8220 5.003_02 wouldn't work in 5.002 anyway. Further, the whole
8221 point of the construct is to catch 5.001m, so we can't use
8222 syntax introduced after 5.001m to do that.
8223
8224Index: lib/Text/Wrap.pm
8225
8226 Remove double 'use strict'.
8227
8228Index: lib/perl5db.pl
8229
8230 Add explicit '&' to avoid warnings under strict refs.
8231
8232Index: lib/sigtrap.pm
8233
8234 Clean up docmentation installation errors.
8235
8236Index: makedepend.SH
8237
8238 Use Configure's $sh and $make_set_make variables.
8239
8240Index: mg.c
8241
8242 Include <unistd.h>
8243
8244 Use Safefree() macro instead of safefree() function with
8245 a (possibly) incorrect cast. The whole point of the
8246 Safefree() macro is that it does the correct cast for you.
8247
8248
8249Index: patchlevel.h
8250
8251 Change to SUBVERSION 3.
8252
8253Index: perl.c
8254
8255 Include <unistd.h>
8256
8257Index: perl.h
8258
8259 No longer prefer bcmp slightly for comparisons that don't care
8260 about ordering.
8261
8262 Rely on Configure setting SH_PATH.
8263
8264 Change the function name to Pause() instead of pause() to
8265 avoid potential prototype problems. (This naming convention
8266 is similar to the Fwrite and Fflush macros.)
8267
8268 Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
8269
8270 Work around crypt prototype problem on NeXT.
8271
8272Index: perlio.c
8273
8274 Fixes to support non-std stdio.
8275
8276Index: perlio.h
8277
8278 Try to document the various #defines a bit. This is far from
8279 finished.
8280
8281 Remove a lot of trailing whitespace. (It's of no consequence, but
8282 but I'm not going to redo the patch just to put back in the trailing
8283 whitespace either.)
8284
8285Index: perlsdio.h
8286
8287 Fixes to support non-std stdio.
8288
8289Index: perly.c

LW		 8429Version 5.003_02
8430----------------
8431o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
8432 - Redefining constant subs, or changing sub's prototype now give warnings.
f5cdf9d7 8433 - Fixes for ++/-- of values close to max/min size of an integer
8434 - Warning for un-qualified bareword as handler in $SIG{}.
8435 - UNIVERSAL::isa can now be called as static method.
760ac839
LW		 8436
8437o Changes in Core Internals
8438 - PerlIO abstraction added.
8439 Perl core and standard extensions no longer assume ANSI C's stdio is IO
8440 mechanism, Default Configure mode is still to use stdio via set of C macros.
f5cdf9d7 8441 Alternate modes are to use stdio via one perlio.c module, or
760ac839 8442 to use sfio if available.
f5cdf9d7 8443
760ac839
LW		 8444 - Several bug fixs from perl5-porters
8445 - Make sources non-ANSI C correct again.
f5cdf9d7 8446 - SUPER in gv.c
760ac839
LW		 8447 - Last of shared-hash-key patches

8470----------------
8471Version 5.003_01
8472----------------
8473
8474Version 5.003_01 contains bugfixes and additions accumulated since
8475version 5.002_01, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately
8476kept simple. In addition to numerous small bugfixes in the core,
8477library files, and documentation, this patch contains several
8478significant revisions, summarized below:
8479
8480o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
8481
8482 - A port to Plan9 has been started, and changes are integrated into
8483 the standard distribution. As of this release, the Perl core
8484 and several common extensions are working.
8485
8486 - A set of basic methods in the UNIVERSAL class have been added to
8487 the Perl core. Since UNIVERSAL is an implicit member of every
8488 class's @ISA, the methods can be called via any object.
8489
8490 - A mandatory warning has been added for 'declarations' of lexical
8491 variables using the "my" operator which mask an existing lexical
8492 variable declared in the same scope, making the previous variable
8493 inaccessible by its name.
8494
8495 - The "use" and "require" operators have been extended to allow
8496 checking of the required module's version. The "use" operator
8497 can now be used for an immediate version check of Perl itself.
8498
8499 - A new "strict" pragma, "strict untie", has been added, which
8500 produces an error if a tied value is untied when other references
8501 exist to the internal object implementing the tie.
8502
8503 - Barewords used as associative array keys (i.e. when specifying
8504 an associative array element like $foo{__BAR} or on the left
8505 side of the => operator) may now begin with an underscore as
8506 well as an alphabetic character.
8507
8508 - Some of the configuration information previously produced by the
8509 -v switch has been moved to the -V switch, in order to keep -v
8510 output concise.
8511
8512o Changes in Core Internals
8513
8514 - Symbol table and method lookups have been made faster.
8515
8516 - Perl subroutines which just return a constant value are now
8517 optimized at compile time into inline constants.
8518
8519 - Management of keys for associative arrays has been improved to
8520 conserve space when the same keys are reused frequently, and
8521 to pass true Perl values to tie functions, instead of stringified
8522 representations.
8523
8524 - Messages normally output to stderr may be directed to another
8525 stream when Perl is built. This allows some platforms to
8526 present diagnostic output in a separate window from normal
8527 program results.
8528
8529 - A bug which caused suiperl to fail silently, albeit securely,
8530 in version 5.003 on some systems has been fixed.
8531
8532 - Management of Unix-style signal handlers via the %SIG associative
8533 array has been made safer.
8534
8535 - Several global C symbols have been renamed to eliminate collisions
8536 with system C header files or libraries on some platforms.
8537 Unfortunately, this means that dynamic extensions compiled under
8538 previous versions of Perl will need to be rebuilt for Perl
8539 5.003_01. We're in the process of cleaning up Perl's C
8540 namespace to make it easier to link Perl with other binaries,
8541 so this will probably happen again between now and version 5.004.
8542 After that, we'll do our best to maintain binary compatibility
8543 between versions.
8544
8545 - An alternate allocation strategy has been added to Perl's
8546 optional private memory management routines. This strategy,
8547 which may be selected when Perl is built, is designed to
8548 conserve memory in programs which allocate many small
8549 chunks of memory with sizes near a power of 2, as is often
8550 the case in Perl programs.
8551
8552 - Several memory leaks in the creation and destruction of
8553 multiple interpreters have been fixed.
8554
8555o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities
8556
8557 - The Opcode extension, which allows you to control a program's
8558 access to Perl operations, has been added to the standard
8559 distribution. This extends the work begun in the original
8560 Safe extension, and subsumes it. The Safe interface is still
8561 available.
8562
8563 - The IO extension, which provides a set of classes for object-
8564 oriented handling of common I/O tasks, has been added to the
8565 standard distribution. The IO classes will form the basis
8566 for future development of Perl's I/O interface, and will
8567 subsume the FileHandle class in the near future. The default
8568 class to which all Perl I/O handles belong is now IO::Handle,
8569 rather than FileHandle.
8570
8571 - The ExtUtils::Embed library module, which provides a set
8572 of utility function to help in embedding Perl in other
8573 applications, has been added to the standard distribution.
8574
8575 - The Fatal library module, which provides a simple interface
8576 for creating "do-or-die" equivalents of existing functions,
8577 has been added to the standard distribution.
8578
8579 - The FindBin library module, which determines the full path
8580 to the currently executing program, has been added to the
8581 standard distribution.
8582
8583 - The DB_File extension, and the Getopt::Long, Test::Harness,
8584 Text::Tabs, Text::Wrap, Time::Local and sigtrap library modules
8585 have been updated to the authors' latest versions.
8586
8587 - The Carp library module now considers the @ISA chain when
8588 determining the caller's package for inclusion in error messages.
8589
8590 - The h2xs, perlbug, and xsubpp utilities have been updated.
8591
8592 - The standard Perl debugger has been updated, and the information
8593 provided to the debugger when an XSUB is called has been improved,
8594 making it possible for alternate debuggers (such as Devel::DProf)
8595 to do a better job of tracking XSUB calls.
8596
8597 - The pod documentation formatting tools in the standard distribution
8598 can now handle characters in the input stream whose high bit is set.
8599
8600 - The cperl-mode EMACS editing mode has been updated.
8601
8602o Changes in Documentation
8603
8604 - Typographic and formatting errors have been corrected in the pod
8605 documentation for the core and standard library files
8606
8607 - Explanations of several core operators have been improved
8608
8609 - The perldebug, perlembed, perlipc, perlsec, and perltrap documents
8610 extensively revised.
8611
8612o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
8613
8614 - Support for the NeXT platform has been extended through
8615 NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP 4.0, and now includes the ability to create MABs.
8616
8617 - Support for OS/2 has been extended as well, and now includes
8618 options for building a.out binaries.
8619
8620 - Support for VMS has also been extended, incorporating improved
8621 processing of file specification strings, optional suppression of
8622 carriage control interpretation for record-structured files,
8623 improved support for the -S command line switch, a number of
8624 VMS-specific bugfixes, and significantly improved performance
8625 in line-oriented reading of files.
8626
8627 - Several hints files have been added or updated: aux.sh (updated),
8628 convexos.sh (updated), irix_4.sh (updated), irix_5.sh (updated),
8629 irix_6_2.sh (updated), next_3.sh (updated), next_3_2.sh (new),
8630 next_3_3.sh (new), next_4.sh (new), os2/sh (updated),
8631 sco.sh (updated), and solaris_2.sh (updated).
8632
8633 - The test driver for the regression tests now reports when a set
8634 of tests have been skipped (presumable because the operation
8635 they're designed to test isn't supported on the current system).
