| 441 | * this is release 1.93_02 | |
| 442 | ||
| 443 | * the underscore is there because it is the first git based release, it | |
| 444 | as a test ballon for the merge with bleadperl. I expect it will become | |
| 445 | 1.9303 | |
| 446 | ||
| 447 | * upgrade repo to github | |
| 448 | ||
| 449 | * more caution when running in degraded mode | |
| 450 | ||
| 451 | * default for connect-to-internet-ok to 0 again (for 5.8.9 a quick fix | |
| 452 | against bootstrapping problems was to set it to 1; now the resulting | |
| 453 | error message makes clear what's going on) | |
| 454 | ||
| 455 | * typo corrections (Frank Wiegand, David Golden) | |
| 456 | ||
| 457 | * backport Parse::CPAN::Meta patch from trunk (Steffen Mueller, David Golden) | |
| 458 | ||
| 459 | 2008-10-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 460 | ||
| 461 | * this is release 1.9301 | |
| 462 | ||
| 463 | * tests, as always, badly written tests! (RT #39994, #40001) | |
| 464 | ||
| 465 | 2008-10-12 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 466 | ||
| 467 | * this is release 1.93 | |
| 468 | ||
| 469 | * no changes against 1.92_66 except in the distroprefs directory (which | |
| 470 | is not used by default) | |
| 471 | ||
| 472 | * highlights include: | |
| 473 | ||
| 474 | * selection of displayed modules during the 'r' command more intuitive | |
| 475 | (at the same time order of modules changed because we run two passes) | |
| 476 | ||
| 477 | * several relevant bugfixes, including one related to security | |
| 478 | (setting $Archive::Tar::CHMOD=0 to prevent undesired world writable | |
| 479 | directories and files) | |
| 480 | ||
| 481 | * for details see below the changes entries for 1.92_51 to 1.92_66. | |
| 482 | ||
| 483 | * thanks to the many contributors who have made this release possible | |
| 484 | ||
| 485 | 2008-09-30 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 486 | ||
| 487 | * release 1.92_66 FEATURE FREEZE for 1.93 | |
| 488 | ||
| 489 | * if nothing serious happens this will become 1.93 in a few days | |
| 490 | ||
| 491 | * security fix: Archive::Tar should not preserve permissions in the | |
| 492 | tarball; extracted file permissions will be set from users umask instead | |
| 493 | (David Golden) | |
| 494 | ||
| 495 | * improve on dealing with a tarball with zero permissions (thanks to | |
| 496 | RPHANEY/openStatisticalServices-0.018.tar.gz) | |
| 497 | ||
| 498 | 2008-09-14 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 499 | ||
| 500 | * release 1.92_65 (aiming at 1.93 once again) | |
| 501 | ||
| 502 | * address #39243: signature test now skips when no SHA module available | |
| 503 | (requested by M Schwern) | |
| 504 | ||
| 505 | * adjust skip message formatting to Test::Harness 3.13 strictness | |
| 506 | ||
| 507 | * now with 344 distroprefs files | |
| 508 | ||
| 509 | 2008-09-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 510 | ||
| 511 | * release 1.92_64 | |
| 512 | ||
| 513 | * workaround for tarballs containing a pax_global_header comment | |
| 514 | (reported by David Cantrell and Jan Dubois) | |
| 515 | ||
| 516 | * set the PERL5LIB also on the look command (suggested by Slaven Rezic) | |
| 517 | ||
| 518 | * better protection against invalid index files | |
| 519 | ||
| 520 | * fix esoteric bug in build_dir_reuse/reset_tested (David Golden) | |

| 525 | (Slaven Rezic) | |

| 528 | ||
| 529 | * updated the FAQ about choosing mirror sites | |

| 532 | ||
| 533 | 2008-06-19 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 534 | ||
| 535 | * release 1.92_63 | |
| 536 | ||
| 537 | * The CPAN::PERL5INC experiment didn't work and all related code was | |
| 538 | removed. Because PERL5OPT "-M" switches are resolved after command line | |
| 539 | "-M" switches, CPAN::PERL5INC sets @INC too late for any PL code or | |
| 540 | tests that load prerequisite modules with "-M" on a command line. | |
| 541 | ||
| 542 | * fixed some localization bugs seen on 5.6.2 (David Golden) | |
| 543 | ||
| 544 | * added 'perl5lib_verbosity' config option to silence 'added to | |
| 545 | PERL5LIB' messages (David Golden) | |
| 546 | ||
| 547 | * now with 340 distroprefs files | |
| 548 | ||

| 550 | ||
| 551 | * release 1.92_62 | |
| 552 | ||
| 553 | * fixed PERL5INC tempfile leak when running without lock file | |
| 554 | (David Golden) | |
| 555 | ||
| 556 | * better prereq and distropref disabled support under build_dir_reuse | |
| 557 | (David Golden) | |
| 558 | ||
| 559 | * distropref cache won't persist across sessions with build_dir_reuse | |
| 560 | (David Golden) | |
| 561 | ||
| 562 | * patch from chocelateboy: found a FileHandle->new with an argument | |
| 563 | ||
| 564 | * fix "exiting subroutine via last" bug (patch from Gisle Aas) | |
| 565 | ||
| 566 | * finishing the CPAN::Distroprefs refactoring (Hans Dieter Pearcey) | |
| 567 | ||
| 568 | * silence noisy tests | |
| 569 | ||
| 570 | * now with 320 distroprefs files | |
| 571 | ||
| 572 | 2008-04-25 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |

| 579 | ||
| 580 | * major distroprefs code refactoring into new module CPAN::Distroprefs, | |
| 581 | adding tests (Hans Dieter Pearcey) | |
| 582 | ||
| 583 | * cpan script upgraded to 1.53 (brian d foy) | |
| 584 | ||
| 585 | * rework the whole experimental "feature" thingie since the META.yml | |
| 586 | spec was fixed | |
| 587 | ||
| 588 | * address #30464 (imacat): small refactoring and extend the loop | |
| 589 | protection from install only on make_test | |
| 590 | ||
| 591 | * repair broken smoke command | |
| 592 | ||
| 593 | * now with 309 distroprefs files | |
| 594 | ||
| 595 | 2008-03-26 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 596 | ||
| 597 | * release 1.92_60: gearing towards a new stable release | |
| 598 | ||
| 599 | * minor bugfixing | |
| 600 | ||
| 601 | * documented that the support for optional_features is not yet ready for | |
| 602 | prime time. | |
| 603 | ||
| 604 | * now with 297 distroprefs files | |
| 605 | ||
| 606 | 2008-03-16 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |

| 611 | Slaven Rezic) | |
| 612 | ||
| 613 | * add reset_tested() function to forget distributions previously tested | |
| 614 | in a session, which resets the list of directories added to PERL5LIB | |
| 615 | (David Golden) | |
| 616 | ||
| 617 | * address #34062: regain lost 'cpan .' command (reporter Slaven Rezic) | |
| 618 | ||
| 619 | * shut up "exited subroutine via last" warning in an expect loop | |
| 620 | ||
| 621 | * address #34102: wrong diagnostic message when no META.yml was there | |
| 622 | (reporter Slaven Rezic) | |
| 623 | ||
| 624 | * CPAN::PERL5INC now also used in available_file() so that testers that | |
| 625 | do not install can continue to work as before this module was introduced | |
| 626 | ||
| 627 | * new protection against subtly broken META.yml files (testcase provided | |
| 628 | by Form-Processor-Model-DBIC-0.01) | |
| 629 | ||
| 630 | * cleanup some files on whitespace, notably CRLF files that could | |
| 631 | confuse some svn clients | |
| 632 | ||
| 633 | * experimental support for optional_features in META.yml (pre-alpha) | |
| 634 | ||
| 635 | * now with 287 distroprefs files | |

| 640 | ||
| 641 | * new module CPAN::PERL5INC repleaces the current PERL5INC stuff for | |
| 642 | larger numers of directories involved | |
| 643 | ||
| 644 | * force pragma can now override the effect of 'disabled' in distroprefs | |
| 645 | (David Golden) | |
| 646 | ||
| 647 | * speed up find_perl by caching absolute path in $^X (discovered by | |
| 648 | Slaven Rezic) | |
| 649 | ||
| 650 | * new FAQ entries about the build directory | |
| 651 | ||
| 652 | * now with 284 distroprefs files | |
| 653 | ||
| 654 | 2008-02-27 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 655 | ||
| 656 | * release 1.92_57: getting closer to 1.93 | |
| 657 | ||
| 658 | * address #32823: fix a (rare) case where the make_args were appended to | |
| 659 | the commandline on the call to ./Build (reported by David Golden and | |
| 660 | Michael Schwern) | |
| 661 | ||
| 662 | * applied a patch from Randy Kobes to update index before a query when | |
| 663 | CPAN::SQLite is active | |
| 664 | ||
| 665 | * added 'halt_on_failure' config option to halt queue processing after | |

| 670 | data through to curl (suggestions by kevinarpe) | |
| 671 | ||
| 672 | * new diagnostics when CPAN.pm is required a second time. Introduce a | |
| 673 | sleep period when it is required several times because then a loop might | |
| 674 | be the cause and this might provide a clue to the user. | |
| 675 | ||
| 676 | * address #32525: when running the 'r' command, try to display the | |
| 677 | module name that is best suited for the distribution name (suggestion | |
| 678 | and prove of concept implementation by imacat) | |
| 679 | ||
| 680 | * speed up distroprefs on eexpect/anyorder by reducing timeout to 1 | |

| 684 | Wheeler) | |

| 691 | ||
| 692 | * addressing #32841: fixing wrong usage of HOME vs File::HomeDir spotted | |
| 693 | by Randy Kobes based on a bugreport by David Wheeler; with help from | |
| 694 | Schwern and Adam Kennedy and I'm sure this will need more iterations. | |
| 695 | ||
| 696 | * added 'trust_test_report_history' config option; when set, CPAN will | |
| 697 | skip tests for a distribution and rely on test report results if a prior | |
| 698 | test report is found; requires CPAN::Reporter 1.07_02 | |
| 699 | ||
| 700 | * protect against the infamous bug in Safe 2.13 that causes data | |
| 701 | corruption and ugly error messages like unknown method version::("")) or | |
| 702 | some such | |
| 703 | ||
| 704 | * let people disable the direct usage of gzip and tar by supplying a | |
| 705 | whitespace config variable | |

| 716 | ||
| 717 | * regain 5.6.1 compatibility in the testsuite | |
| 718 | ||
| 719 | * improve diagnostics in t/31sessions.t to understand better what's up | |
| 720 | in #31750 | |
| 721 | ||
| 722 | * fail gracefully on distroprefs parse error | |
| 723 | ||
| 724 | * now with 267 distroprefs files | |
| 725 | ||

| 729 | ||

| 739 | add a test to verify it | |
| 740 | ||
| 741 | 2007-12-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 742 | ||
| 743 | * release 1.92_53: unstable release low priority | |
| 744 | ||
| 745 | * now with 262 distroprefs files | |
| 746 | ||
| 747 | * fix the bug where CPAN.pm refused to upgrade to Test::Harness 3 | |
| 748 | because Test::Harness was too old (Eric Wilhelm) | |
| 749 | ||
| 750 | * skip tests when YAML too old | |
| 751 | ||
| 752 | * default changed in Firsttime: prefer the conservative choice to NOT | |
| 753 | use build_dir_reuse | |
| 754 | ||
| 755 | * improve diagnostics when Tarzip believes that it must give up | |
| 756 | ||
| 757 | * new config variable connect_to_internet_ok (requested by Merijn Brand) | |
| 758 | ||
| 759 | 2007-11-11 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |

| 768 | ||
| 769 | * bugfix: the endless loop fix that made it into 1.92_51 and 1.9204 was | |
| 770 | buggy in itself. Fixing the fix and adding a test case. | |
| 771 | ||
| 772 | * use chdir from Cwd.pm everywhere instead of the built-in chdir so that | |
| 773 | we set $PWD simultaneously (requested by Slaven Rezic) | |
| 774 | ||
| 775 | 2007-11-06 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |

| 802 | ||

| 1016 | line (discovered by Gregor Goldbach and Slaven Rezic) | |

| 1033 | human/machine parseablility on several failure modes | |
| 1034 | ||

| 1126 | 2007-03-15 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de> | |

| 1132 | for circular dependencies | |
| 1133 | ||

| 1203 | ||
| 1204 | * fix recursion detection logic: when we have the module and it | |

| 1231 | ||
| 1232 | * release 1.88_71: this does not yet qualify as a release candidate for | |
| 1233 | 1.89 because it incorporates a major bugfix; but otherwise I think this | |
| 1234 | is feature complete for a release | |
| 1235 | ||

| 1251 | ||
| 1252 | * fix a serious dependency resolution bug triggered by the new | |
| 1253 | family of Compress::Zlib module distributions | |
| 1254 | ||
| 1255 | * limit recursion detection to those commands that need it and let | |
| 1256 | others, like 'look', continue to work; at the same time make recursion | |
| 1257 | detection a serious error that throws an exception and does not try to | |
| 1258 | continue to execute | |
| 1259 | ||

| 1283 | ||

| 1306 | persistence | |

| 1346 | ||
| 1347 | * release 1.88_65 | |
| 1348 | ||
| 1349 | * make CPAN::SQLite configurable and tweak a few places to help SQLite | |
| 1350 | bootstrapping. | |
| 1351 | ||
| 1352 | * fixed an implicit dependency on YAML::Syck in the Makefile | |
| 1353 | ||
| 1354 | * distropref-goto: use the queue because after the goto new dependencies | |
| 1355 | may be needed | |
| 1356 | ||
| 1357 | * fix dependency checking after make test: it did not work well together | |
| 1358 | with a distropref-goto | |
| 1359 | ||
| 1360 | 2006-12-04 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1361 | ||
| 1362 | * release 1.88_64 | |
| 1363 | ||
| 1364 | * more of Randy Kobes' patches for CPAN::SQLite applied. Things start | |
| 1365 | working. | |
| 1366 | ||
| 1367 | * CPAN::Kwalify as a bridge to Kwalify.pm verifies all distroprefs to be | |
| 1368 | syntactically correct | |
| 1369 | ||
| 1370 | * address #23742: fix unini warning | |
| 1371 | ||
| 1372 | * another patch from Randy Kobes to canonize directory names | |
| 1373 | ||
| 1374 | * bugfix: force install of a local dot distro was doing weird things | |
| 1375 | ||
| 1376 | * bugfix: goto did not normalize the distro name | |
| 1377 | ||
| 1378 | 2006-11-23 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1379 | ||
| 1380 | * release 1.88_63: nothing major, only bugfixes and tiny new features. | |
| 1381 | Still a lot to do for 1.89. | |
| 1382 | ||
| 1383 | * address #23315: there were still some uncought exceptions in | |
| 1384 | CPAN::Tarzip that broke megainstalls by Steve Peters; now hopefully all | |
| 1385 | fixed | |
| 1386 | ||
| 1387 | * address #22584: do not set VERSION to "undef" when 0 | |
| 1388 | ||
| 1389 | * bugfix: delete backups during downloading of new index files | |
| 1390 | ||
| 1391 | * bugfix: repair all risky ->can with UNIVERSAL::can; thanks to Adriano | |
| 1392 | Rodrigues for the report! | |
| 1393 | ||
| 1394 | * bugfix: dirname(undef) can die: protect against it when an entry in | |
| 1395 | FTPstats has no associated file | |
| 1396 | ||
| 1397 | * the failed command now prints its rows sorted by command (as before) | |
| 1398 | but within each command by time. | |
| 1399 | ||
| 1400 | * the prereq check under the Module::Build installer is now performed by | |
| 1401 | reading the _build/prereqs file instead of calling Module::Build | |
| 1402 | directly. (Suggested by Ken Williams) | |
| 1403 | ||
| 1404 | * cleanup of the cache directory is now disabled for batch jobs; | |
| 1405 | documentation is updated about the lock file the shell is holding | |
| 1406 | ||
| 1407 | * now setting the environment variable PERL5_CPAN_IS_RUNNING; tentative | |
| 1408 | patch for Module::Install in my CPAN homedirectory | |
| 1409 | ||
| 1410 | * support for fallback Data::Dumper and Storable files in the prefs_dir | |
| 1411 | directory when YAML is not available (alpha) | |
| 1412 | ||
| 1413 | * new support for cpanconfig/check_sigs in distroprefs to temporarily | |
| 1414 | switch signature checking on or off. See distroprefs/00.README for | |
| 1415 | details and distroprefs/JESSE.HTTP-Server-Simple.yml for an example (alpha) | |
| 1416 | ||
| 1417 | * new keyword "goto" in distroprefs to nominate a delegate distro. See | |
| 1418 | distroprefs/00.README for details and distroprefs/ABH.XML-RSS.yml for an | |
| 1419 | example (alpha) | |
| 1420 | ||
| 1421 | * small portions of patches from Randy Kobes applied to support | |
| 1422 | CPAN::SQLite (pre-alpha; see Makefile.PL how to invoke) | |
| 1423 | ||
| 1424 | 2006-11-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1425 | ||
| 1426 | * release 1.88_62 | |
| 1427 | ||
| 1428 | * bugfix in randomize_urllist introduced in 1.88_61: setting the value | |
| 1429 | with C<o conf randomize_urllist> was broken | |
| 1430 | ||
| 1431 | * disallow C<o conf {commit,defaults}> in degraded mode | |
| 1432 | ||
| 1433 | * more programming tips in the manpage from Ilya Zakharevich | |
| 1434 | ||
| 1435 | * sanity check on path names with tilde suggested by Adam Kennedy | |
| 1436 | ||
| 1437 | * change the prettyprint of arrays to accommodate the user of splice | |
| 1438 | ||
| 1439 | * introduce C<expect-in-any-order> to distroprefs | |
| 1440 | ||
| 1441 | * add a new testdistro CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make-Expect | |
| 1442 | ||
| 1443 | * make the 00.README in the distroprefs directory more like a manpage | |
| 1444 | for later inclusion into the CPAN.pm manpage | |
| 1445 | ||
| 1446 | * determine if a patch needs -p0 or -p1 | |
| 1447 | ||
| 1448 | * fix downloads with lynx when the other end sends an unusual error page | |
| 1449 | ||
| 1450 | 2006-11-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1451 | ||
| 1452 | * release 1.88_61 | |
| 1453 | ||
| 1454 | * This release is dedicated to imacat. | |
| 1455 | ||
| 1456 | * address #22749: always download CHECKSUMS from the same host as the | |
| 1457 | package file (Thanks to imacat for the report) | |
| 1458 | ||
| 1459 | * new command 'hosts' to display some recent download statistics | |
| 1460 | ||
| 1461 | * new config parameter 'randomize_urllist' brings some randomness into | |
| 1462 | the URL selection | |
| 1463 | ||
| 1464 | * if yaml_module not YAML and not available, fall back to YAML | |
| 1465 | ||
| 1466 | 2006-11-02 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1467 | ||
| 1468 | * release 1.88_59 | |
| 1469 | ||
| 1470 | * Note: the build_dir has got a major reworking with regard to how | |
| 1471 | individual directories below it are being named. The names are now | |
| 1472 | generated by File::Temp and contain a random part. This has the | |
| 1473 | advantage that concurring users of CPAN.pm cannot disturb each other and | |
| 1474 | the disadvantage that it is more difficult to identify which directory | |
| 1475 | contains which build environment. If YAML is installed, then each | |
| 1476 | directory is accompanied by a YAML file that stores a lot of state about | |
| 1477 | the directory. | |
| 1478 | ||
| 1479 | The filename of the YAML file is C<< <directoryname>.yml >> | |
| 1480 | ||
| 1481 | * This release represents work in progress: new features marked as alpha | |
| 1482 | below are still in flux and may change or be removed in the future. | |
| 1483 | ||
| 1484 | * Large chunk of documentation added about the many 'o conf' variants | |
| 1485 | (after a smart kick From Marc Lehmann) | |
| 1486 | ||
| 1487 | * fix a bug reported by Sujith Emmanuel to survive when urllist contains | |
| 1488 | illegal URLs | |
| 1489 | ||
| 1490 | * new bundle Bundle::CPANxxl with CPAN::Reporter, Module::Signature, | |
| 1491 | Expect, etc. | |
| 1492 | ||
| 1493 | * many new sample distroprefs files (alpha) | |
| 1494 | ||
| 1495 | * new keyword "disabled" in distroprefs (alpha) | |
| 1496 | ||
| 1497 | * sanitize the behaviour after an Expect.pm timeout (alpha) | |
| 1498 | ||
| 1499 | * make running concurrent batch jobs safe (alpha) | |
| 1500 | ||
| 1501 | * lock the shell more granular to let many CPAN shells coexist (alpha) | |
| 1502 | ||
| 1503 | * several small bugfixes to the persistent distro state feature | |
| 1504 | introduced in 1.88_58 (alpha) | |
| 1505 | ||
| 1506 | * very early incarnation of new install_tested command (alpha) | |
| 1507 | ||
| 1508 | 2006-10-28 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1509 | ||
| 1510 | * release 1.88_58 | |
| 1511 | ||
| 1512 | * new config option build_dir_reuse for persistent distro state in | |
| 1513 | build_dir inspired by Ilya Zakharevich. (alpha!) | |
| 1514 | ||
| 1515 | * a few new and rewritten distropref files. | |
| 1516 | ||
| 1517 | * add distribution name to every OK/NOT OK; also inspired by Ilya. | |
| 1518 | ||
| 1519 | * bugfix on a rare bug related to the deletion of metadata after using a | |
| 1520 | pragma on a distribution. | |
| 1521 | ||
| 1522 | 2006-10-24 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1523 | ||
| 1524 | * release 1.88_57 | |
| 1525 | ||
| 1526 | * address #22396: add a diagnostic warning at cleanup time when people | |
| 1527 | have changed their config but forgot to safe it (Tina Mueller, Alberto | |
| 1528 | Manuel Brandao Simoes). | |
| 1529 | ||
| 1530 | * workaround for a weird interaction with a dated version.pm in | |
| 1531 | a probably dated Module::Build and UNIVERSAL::VERSION. | |
| 1532 | ||
| 1533 | * document the config variables that are overridable via distroprefs. | |
| 1534 | ||
| 1535 | * add prefer_installer to the list of overridable config variables. | |
| 1536 | ||
| 1537 | * new and updated prefs files for DBI, Coro, etc. | |
| 1538 | ||
| 1539 | 2006-10-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1540 | ||
| 1541 | * release 1.88_56 | |
| 1542 | ||
| 1543 | * add the ability to patch random distros both with local patches and | |
| 1544 | with patches from CPAN. Demo patches to UNIVERSAL::require, Expect, | |
| 1545 | Math::Pari, etc. are uploaded to my CPAN directory, corresponding YAML | |
| 1546 | files are in the distroprefs directory. Heavily inspired by an old patch | |
| 1547 | from Ilya Zakharevich. | |
| 1548 | ||
| 1549 | * fixes from Ilya Zakharevich to the PERL5LIB environment handling for | |
| 1550 | not yet installed modules from a 3 year old patch. | |
| 1551 | ||
| 1552 | * work around a Module::Build issue with Build.PL files that are | |
| 1553 | subclassing Module::Build like Error.pm and HTML::Mason. For now we fall | |
| 1554 | back to the META.yml file. Needs further discussion with Module::Build | |
| 1555 | people. | |
| 1556 | ||
| 1557 | * in the distroprefs system allow for YAML files with an arbitrary | |
| 1558 | number of sections. | |
| 1559 | ||
| 1560 | * document how to integrate local distribution directories into the CPAN | |
| 1561 | shell. See section 'Integrating local directories' in the manpage. | |
| 1562 | ||
| 1563 | * reporting of errors during unpacking is now integrated into the | |
| 1564 | report section at the end of each command and the 'failed' command. | |
| 1565 | ||
| 1566 | * applied a patch by smpeters to silence an unini warning (RT #22277). | |
| 1567 | ||
| 1568 | * address #20979: trailing backslashes in MyConfig variables with test | |
| 1569 | (Lars XXX via David Golden) | |
| 1570 | ||
| 1571 | 2006-10-16 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1572 | ||
| 1573 | * release 1.88_55 | |
| 1574 | ||
| 1575 | * new command 'report' as requested by Schwern in #22118. | |
| 1576 | ||
| 1577 | * extend the Distribution object to local directories. Gives a meaning | |
| 1578 | to the 'cpan .' command. Suggested by Slaven Rezic. | |
| 1579 | ||
| 1580 | * removes the linux centric behaviour of t/30shell.t. | |
| 1581 | ||
| 1582 | * do not complain THAT often about uninstalled YAML or YAML::Syck; once | |
| 1583 | is per distro enough. | |
| 1584 | ||
| 1585 | 2006-10-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1586 | ||
| 1587 | * release 1.88_54 | |
| 1588 | ||
| 1589 | * New option 'yaml_module' to switch between YAML.pm and YAML::Syck | |
| 1590 | Try 'o conf init /yaml/' to use it. | |
| 1591 | ||
| 1592 | * New distroprefs system that lets the user store arguments, environment | |
| 1593 | variables, individual answers to questions asked by Distributions when | |
| 1594 | being built, and config overrides. Try 'o conf init /prefs/' for more | |
| 1595 | information. | |
| 1596 | ||
| 1597 | * address #21144 major documentation bug: $obj->install is NOT the same | |
| 1598 | as CPAN::Shell->install($obj) as soon as a queue of dependencies comes | |
| 1599 | into play. | |
| 1600 | ||
| 1601 | * fix "o conf defaults" which was broken in 1.88_53. | |
| 1602 | ||
| 1603 | * protect us against Module::Build errors with an eval around the | |
| 1604 | requires() and build_requires() calls. | |
| 1605 | ||
| 1606 | 2006-10-09 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1607 | ||
| 1608 | * release 1.88_53 | |
| 1609 | ||
| 1610 | * wrapping Module::Build calls into an eval to catch external errors | |
| 1611 | with the right consequences. | |
| 1612 | ||
| 1613 | * 'reload cpan' now based on timestamps and always jumps into a fresh | |
| 1614 | shell when needed. | |
| 1615 | ||
| 1616 | * display the version during loading of our own modules. | |
| 1617 | ||
| 1618 | * address #21692: make the "isa perl" case less noisy (Gabor Szabo) | |
| 1619 | ||
| 1620 | * new tests | |
| 1621 | ||
| 1622 | 2006-10-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1623 | ||
| 1624 | * release 1.88_52 | |
| 1625 | ||
| 1626 | * now does the right thing with prereq "perl" | |
| 1627 | ||
| 1628 | * major speedup in parsing of index files | |
| 1629 | ||
| 1630 | * repair debugging aid to display the correct line number | |
| 1631 | ||
| 1632 | * fix bug introduced in _51 regarding Test::Harness version verification | |
| 1633 | ||
| 1634 | * fix old bug in CPAN::Version wrt installed developer versions | |
| 1635 | ||
| 1636 | 2006-09-29 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1637 | ||
| 1638 | * release 1.88_51 | |
| 1639 | ||
| 1640 | * dependencies declared as 'build_requires' are now treated according to | |
| 1641 | a new policy option: try 'o conf init build_requires_install_policy' for | |
| 1642 | more info. (Suggested/Requested by Johan Vromans) | |
| 1643 | ||
| 1644 | * fixed a bug where successful tests were repeated if things were not | |
| 1645 | being installed like during the 'test' command itself. | |
| 1646 | ||
| 1647 | * address #21724: document that the 'r' command takes arguments; support | |
| 1648 | the same arguments for the 'upgrade' command (Adam Kennedy) | |
| 1649 | ||
| 1650 | * address #21716: fix the broken 'recent' command (Phil Pennock) | |
| 1651 | ||
| 1652 | * fixed a rare but extremely unpleasant bug with deep recursion in | |
| 1653 | AUTOLOAD during the 'reload cpan' command. | |
| 1654 | ||
| 1655 | 2006-09-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1656 | ||
| 1657 | * release 1.8801 | |
| 1658 | ||
| 1659 | * trivial bugfix: init dialog had a tweak that made it impossible to set | |
| 1660 | 'ncftp' when 'ncftpget' was installed and configured. | |
| 1661 | ||
| 1662 | 2006-09-21 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1663 | ||
| 1664 | * release 1.88 | |
| 1665 | ||
| 1666 | * For detailed changes since 1.87 see the entries in the Changes file. | |
| 1667 | For finer grained change log see the ChangeLog.svn file. The highlights | |
| 1668 | of this release are: | |
| 1669 | ||
| 1670 | * convenient configuration: dialogs for individual items or groups of | |
| 1671 | items can be accessed with a single command (Courtesy Jim Cromie) | |
| 1672 | ||
| 1673 | * experimental support for CPAN::Reporter: try | |
| 1674 | o conf init /test/ | |
| 1675 | (Courtesy David Golden) | |
| 1676 | ||
| 1677 | * make installation of scripts easier: try something like | |
| 1678 | install SREZIC/pingomatic-1.012 | |
| 1679 | (Courtesy Slaven Rezic) | |
| 1680 | ||
| 1681 | * colored output for better separation of process output, messages from | |
| 1682 | CPAN and warnings from CPAN: to turn colorization on/off try | |
| 1683 | o conf init /color/ | |
| 1684 | ||
| 1685 | * formatting of lists of modules now features a column to indicate | |
| 1686 | installed and updateable modules | |
| 1687 | ||
| 1688 | * signature checking can now be turned on and off with 'o conf check_sigs' | |
| 1689 | ||
| 1690 | * new command 'upgrade' installs newest version of all installed modules | |
| 1691 | ||
| 1692 | * Please note a minor incompatibility: the init dialog now has reversed | |
| 1693 | semantics: it suggests automatic configuration that can be confirmed | |
| 1694 | with 'yes' instead of suggesting manual configuration that can be denied | |
| 1695 | with 'no'. | |
| 1696 | ||
| 1697 | 2006-09-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1698 | ||
| 1699 | * release 1.87_65 | |
| 1700 | ||
| 1701 | * Hunting missing documentation with Test::Pod::Coverage because my | |
| 1702 | first try to use it started with a wrong copy&paste. | |
| 1703 | ||
| 1704 | * Forward compatibility: bzip2 via Archive::Tar not dying anymore | |
| 1705 | ||
| 1706 | 2006-09-16 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1707 | ||
| 1708 | * release 1.87_64 | |
| 1709 | ||
| 1710 | * added test for the urllist dialog | |
| 1711 | ||
| 1712 | * added License to all pm files and to the Makefile.PL | |
| 1713 | ||
| 1714 | * allow ranges in urllist dialog, as inspired by Andrew Strebkov | |
| 1715 | ||
| 1716 | * allow "o conf init WORD WORD2..." | |
| 1717 | ||
| 1718 | * address #21484: disable inactivity_timeout when d_alarm is not "define" | |
| 1719 | ||
| 1720 | * regex in "o conf init MATCH" must now be enclosed in slashes as in all | |
| 1721 | other commands that allow regexes | |
| 1722 | ||
| 1723 | * again tested with 5.8.0, this time with an UTF8 locale and it did | |
| 1724 | indeed not pass the 30test: turning LANG=C now for the 30shell test, | |
| 1725 | unconditionally | |
| 1726 | ||
| 1727 | * all supported config variables now documented in the POD and added a | |
| 1728 | test to monitor changes in the future | |
| 1729 | ||

| 1732 | * release 1.87_63 | |
| 1733 | ||
| 1734 | * should run on 5.8.0 now | |
| 1735 | ||
| 1736 | * address #17973: always honour user defined URLs over default URLs | |
| 1737 | ||
| 1738 | 2006-09-11 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1739 | ||
| 1740 | * release 1.87_62 | |
| 1741 | ||
| 1742 | * make term_ornaments switchable while running (was only checked during | |
| 1743 | initialization) | |
| 1744 | ||
| 1745 | * verify that color settings are applicable (bad colors were killing the | |
| 1746 | shell process completely) | |
| 1747 | ||
| 1748 | * improve wording and logic when user is offline and tries to run | |
| 1749 | the urllist dialog. (Address debian bug #380551) | |
| 1750 | ||
| 1751 | 2006-09-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1752 | ||
| 1753 | * release 1.87_61 | |
| 1754 | ||
| 1755 | * configuation of urllist uses a local urllist instead of the global | |
| 1756 | configured one: prevents that ^C accidentally kills the currently | |
| 1757 | configured urllist | |
| 1758 | ||
| 1759 | * configuration of urllist: if there is already a previous pick, one can | |
| 1760 | go through the dialog with RETURN only | |
| 1761 | ||
| 1762 | * new options to get colored output: colorize_output, colorize_print, | |
| 1763 | colorize_warn | |
| 1764 | ||
| 1765 | 2006-09-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1766 | ||
| 1767 | * release 1.87_59: "o conf init MATCH" finally works and can be used to | |
| 1768 | jump into the configuration dialog and select an arbitrary subset of | |
| 1769 | questions. | |
| 1770 | ||
| 1771 | * perl -I. -MCPAN ... now works because we replaced C<no lib .> with | |
| 1772 | rel2absing the INC (suggested by Slaven Rezic) | |
| 1773 | ||
| 1774 | 2006-08-31 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1775 | ||
| 1776 | * release 1.87_58: work is still in progress to get "o conf init MATCH" | |
| 1777 | working (finishing the epochal Jim Cromie patches) but all tests pass | |
| 1778 | ||
| 1779 | * initial configuration dialogue now has reversed meaning: automatic | |
| 1780 | configuration can be confirmed with 'yes' instead of having to deny | |
| 1781 | manual configuration with 'no' | |
| 1782 | ||
| 1783 | * fix a bug reported by David Golden, that Bundle::CPAN is never | |
| 1784 | uptodate. Fixing it by special-casing readline.pm in the inst_file | |
| 1785 | method. See also #17963. | |
| 1786 | ||
| 1787 | * Address #18196 once again because people have still MakeMaker < 6.18 | |
| 1788 | installed. | |
| 1789 | ||
| 1790 | 2006-08-26 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1791 | ||
| 1792 | * release 1.87_57 | |
| 1793 | ||
| 1794 | * Added by David Golden: support for CPAN::Reporter. | |
| 1795 | ||
| 1796 | 2006-08-24 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1797 | ||

| 1799 | ||
| 1800 | * Tiny documentation improvements | |
| 1801 | ||
| 1802 | * Fix by David Golden to suppress warnings when using term_ornaments | |
| 1803 | ||
| 1804 | 2006-07-29 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1805 | ||
| 1806 | * release 1.87_55 | |
| 1807 | ||
| 1808 | * improve the heuristics when parsing PREREQ for scripts | |
| 1809 | ||
| 1810 | * document CPAN::Module::as_glimpse changes and fix the case where we | |
| 1811 | have no author or no distro and added some tests for these cases | |
| 1812 | ||
| 1813 | 2006-07-23 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1814 | ||
| 1815 | * release 1.87_54 | |
| 1816 | ||
| 1817 | * fix #18165: new config option term_ornaments | |
| 1818 | ||
| 1819 | * fix #20272: FirstTime::init did not preserve the space that signifies | |
| 1820 | "disabled program" | |
| 1821 | ||
| 1822 | 2006-07-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1823 | ||
| 1824 | * release 1.87_53 | |
| 1825 | ||
| 1826 | * make *scripts* (as opposed to modules) installable when the path of | |
| 1827 | the distro is given: you can now 'install ANDK/keepcool-0.344' and it is | |
| 1828 | stored as 'keepcool' | |
| 1829 | ||
| 1830 | * the m command displays one column more: an equals sign if we have this | |
| 1831 | version installed, a less-than sign if our installed version of the | |
| 1832 | module is smaller and a space if we do not have this thing installed | |
| 1833 | ||
| 1834 | * fix #18438: weird dependency chain issue that broke | |
| 1835 | amavis/SpamAssassin | |
| 1836 | ||
| 1837 | * fix #20168: when a user has neither Module::Signature nor gnupg, do | |
| 1838 | not warn them | |
| 1839 | ||
| 1840 | * patch by Matisse Enzer to support authenticating proxies | |
| 1841 | ||
| 1842 | * new command "upgrade" installs newer versions of all installed modules | |
| 1843 | if there are any (feature requested by Martin Sluka) | |
| 1844 | ||
| 1845 | * release 1.87_52 | |
| 1846 | ||
| 1847 | * add support for check_sigs configuration option (turn signature | |
| 1848 | checking on and off any time) | |
| 1849 | ||
| 1850 | * fix #18011: improved initial configuration according to suggestions by | |
| 1851 | Vassilii Khachaturov | |
| 1852 | ||
| 1853 | 2006-03-06 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1854 | ||
| 1855 | * release 1.87_51 | |
| 1856 | ||
| 1857 | * patch by Max Maischein to quote commands that contain spaces as is | |
| 1858 | often the case on Windows systems (addresses #17877) | |
| 1859 | ||
| 1860 | * do not display DSLIP_STATUS when it is empty; same thing for MANPAGE | |
| 1861 | ||
| 1862 | * add a security advice to the manpage | |
| 1863 | ||
| 1864 | * do not advertise Bundle::CPAN when a new CPAN is available, CPAN alone | |
| 1865 | should do | |
| 1866 | ||
| 1867 | 2006-02-27 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1868 | ||

| 1870 | ||
| 1871 | * new method dslip_status for Module objects | |
| 1872 | ||
| 1873 | * no t/dot-cpan/ directory in the distro anymore and removed after test | |
| 1874 | ||
| 1875 | * bugfix: when make clean failed, we did not list this as a fail | |
| 1876 | ||
| 1877 | * more tests in t/30shell.t, sub coverage on CPAN.pm now >75% | |
| 1878 | ||
| 1879 | 2006-02-23 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1880 | ||
| 1881 | * release 1.86_53 | |
| 1882 | ||
| 1883 | * t/30shell emits two test headers (fixes #17816; Adam Kennedy) | |
| 1884 | ||
| 1885 | * make Tarzip work better on uncompressed files; fixes test failure of | |
| 1886 | test t/12cpan.t work under some conditions | |
| 1887 | ||
| 1888 | * t/30shell now skips tests that need uninstalled prerequisites and so | |
| 1889 | passes all tests on a bare 5.8.8 for me when CPAN_RUN_SHELL_TEST is set | |
| 1890 | ||
| 1891 | 2006-02-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1892 | ||
| 1893 | * release 1.86_52 | |
| 1894 | ||
| 1895 | * simplification of the concepts of home and of the CPAN/MyConfig.pm and | |
| 1896 | the CPAN/Config.pm. There were too many places that tried to do the same | |
| 1897 | thing. Should now be centralized and consistent. | |
| 1898 | ||
| 1899 | 2006-02-21 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1900 | ||
| 1901 | * release 1.86_51 | |
| 1902 | ||
| 1903 | * replace the concept of $ENV{HOME} with File::HomeDir (fixes #17759; | |
| 1904 | Adam Kennedy) | |
| 1905 | ||
| 1906 | * remove a spurious CARRIAGE RETURN in the Todo file: it broke | |
| 1907 | Module::Signature on Windows (fixes #17746; Adam Kennedy) | |
| 1908 | ||
| 1909 | * return empty string instead of undef when HAVE_MAKE is false (fixes | |
| 1910 | #17768; Adam Kennedy) | |
| 1911 | ||
| 1912 | * do not try to use $CPAN::Frontend before it exists (fixes #17770; Adam | |
| 1913 | Kennedy) | |
| 1914 | ||
| 1915 | * t/12cpan.t now behaves on 5.004 and 5.005 | |
| 1916 | ||
| 1917 | * t/30shell.t now can be run without Expect; needs to be enabled with | |
| 1918 | environment variable CPAN_RUN_SHELL_TEST in this case | |
| 1919 | ||
| 1920 | * more testing in 30shell.t | |
| 1921 | ||
| 1922 | 2006-02-20 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1923 | ||
| 1924 | * release 1.86 | |
| 1925 | ||
| 1926 | * quick fix for a bug in the Checksums checking code: if the cache had | |
| 1927 | an old copy, it was in some cases not updated and if the file-to-check | |
| 1928 | was newer, a false alarm was triggered. | |
| 1929 | ||
| 1930 | * I expect a 1.87 soonish, because we have open bugs: test 12cpan.t not | |
| 1931 | suited for old perls; test for the above bug missing. | |
| 1932 | ||
| 1933 | 2006-02-19 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1934 | ||
| 1935 | * release 1.85 | |
| 1936 | ||
| 1937 | * Fix for 'install Bundle:CPAN' on Windows machines (closes #17699; Adam | |
| 1938 | Kennedy) | |
| 1939 | ||
| 1940 | * Make a separate distro for Bundle::CPAN (works around the bug for | |
| 1941 | older versions of CPAN) | |
| 1942 | ||
| 1943 | * Another fix for bundles: in some cases CPAN.pm installed an older | |
| 1944 | bundle than the most recent | |
| 1945 | ||
| 1946 | * more tests: CPAN.pm subroutine coverage now at 71.4% | |
| 1947 | ||
| 1948 | 2006-02-15 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1949 | ||
| 1950 | * release 1.84 | |
| 1951 | ||
| 1952 | * see detailed release notes for releases 1.83_51 upto 1.83_69 below | |
| 1953 | ||
| 1954 | * highlights of the changes between 1.83 and 1.84: better error handling | |
| 1955 | with new "failed" command and in many other places; new config variable | |
| 1956 | ftp_passive is on by default; new command mkmyconfig; Module::Build | |
| 1957 | support should now work on Windows and work better on all platforms; new | |
| 1958 | methods for programmers CPAN::Module::distribution and | |
| 1959 | CPAN::Distribution::author; improved docs; prettier output; and last not | |
| 1960 | least a heavy dose of refactoring, bugfixing, and testing | |
| 1961 | ||
| 1962 | * Thanks to the bunch of helpful contributors and bug reporters (you | |
| 1963 | know who you are:) | |
| 1964 | ||
| 1965 | 2006-02-14 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 1966 | ||
| 1967 | * release 1.83_69 | |
| 1968 | ||
| 1969 | * much more testing (70% sub coverage in CPAN.pm) | |
| 1970 | ||
| 1971 | * deprecated "dontload_hash" and introduced "donload_list" instead | |
| 1972 | ||
| 1973 | * better handling of errors during 'perl Makefile.PL' | |
| 1974 | ||
| 1975 | * turn on sorting for the dump command | |
| 1976 | ||
| 1977 | * turn on sorting for the CONTAINSMODS attribute of Distribution objects | |

| 1981 | ||
| 1982 | * patch by Sebastien Aperghis-Tramoni to avoid a SEGV with 5.004_05 | |
| 1983 | which happens when exit is called within BEGIN | |
| 1984 | ||

| 1996 | ||
| 1997 | 2006-02-06 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |

| 2024 | ||
| 2025 | * release 1.83_64 (potential release candidate for 1.84) | |
| 2026 | ||
| 2027 | * bugfix: when M:B specifies both requires AND build_requires AND then | |
| 2028 | has no YAML to write the META.yml file, THEN we did not merge the two | |
| 2029 | requiries. Seen in KCLARK/Text-RecordParser-v1.0.0.tar.gz. | |
| 2030 | ||
| 2031 | 2006-02-01 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2032 | ||

| 2047 | 2006-01-30 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2048 | ||
| 2049 | * release 1.83_61 | |
| 2050 | ||
| 2051 | * After a bugreport from Randy Kobes, another few small fixes to make | |
| 2052 | sure that mbuild_install_build_command cannot make it through to be used | |
| 2053 | anywhere. | |
| 2054 | ||
| 2055 | * release 1.83_60 | |
| 2056 | ||
| 2057 | * bugfix: Do not use ./Build directly on Windows, it must be called | |

| 2062 | ||
| 2063 | * bugfix for very rare cases: do not use CPAN::Distrostatus object | |

| 2065 | reload' introduces the CPAN::Distrostatus class | |
| 2066 | ||
| 2067 | * bugfix: better switches for the call to curl | |
| 2068 | ||

| 2070 | ||
| 2071 | * docs: revisited the FAQ section | |
| 2072 | ||
| 2073 | * bugfix: if a META.yml specified a prerequisite module that we do not | |
| 2074 | know, the whole prereq_pm became undef; now issues a warning and skips | |
| 2075 | the unknown thing | |
| 2076 | ||
| 2077 | 2006-01-25 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2078 | ||
| 2079 | * release 1.83_59 | |

| 2082 | set; fixes #17266 (Adam Kennedy) | |

| 2102 | becoming visible to the user (Jim Cromie) | |
| 2103 | ||
| 2104 | * More tests for CPAN::Version with output comparing the results with | |
| 2105 | Sort::Versions and version.pm | |
| 2106 | ||
| 2107 | * bugfix: double check the "later" attribute before you excuse and unset | |
| 2108 | it if it is obsolete; fixes a bug where a postponed distro could be lost | |
| 2109 | from the queue | |
| 2110 | ||
| 2111 | * output of as_glimpse more space efficient | |
| 2112 | ||
| 2113 | 2006-01-19 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2114 | ||
| 2115 | * release 1.83_57 | |
| 2116 | ||

| 2118 | unrecoverable errors that require user intervention | |
| 2119 | ||
| 2120 | * shell.t improved again: now the output reads really similar to a shell | |
| 2121 | session so we can determine which problems were leading to a failing | |
| 2122 | test | |
| 2123 | ||
| 2124 | 2006-01-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2125 | ||
| 2126 | * release 1.83_56 | |
| 2127 | ||
| 2128 | * bugfix rt #17089 (Adam Kennedy): the existance of a Build.PL without a | |

| 2130 | ||

| 2133 | * more tests in shell.t | |

| 2140 | ||
| 2141 | * release 1.83_55 | |
| 2142 | ||
| 2143 | * improve error handling on Net::FTP connections (R. Hauser; fixes rt | |
| 2144 | #1572) | |
| 2145 | ||
| 2146 | * shell.t starts working on installations that have a CPAN/Config.pm | |
| 2147 | ||

| 2149 | ||
| 2150 | * release 1.83_54 | |
| 2151 | ||
| 2152 | * conveniently handle $Config->{make} on systems that often switch | |
| 2153 | between dmake and nmake, like ActiveState's perl (Gisle Aas) | |
| 2154 | ||
| 2155 | * better choice for command processor on Win32 (Gisle Aas) | |
| 2156 | ||
| 2157 | * newest cpan script (1.51) from brian d foy | |
| 2158 | ||
| 2159 | * "force ls" now refetches the CHECKSUMS files | |
| 2160 | ||
| 2161 | * shell.t now conforming to Test-Anything-Protocol and hopefully working | |
| 2162 | on more platforms. | |
| 2163 | ||
| 2164 | 2006-01-12 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2165 | ||
| 2166 | * release 1.83_53 | |
| 2167 | ||
| 2168 | * bugfix: if we have no YAML and no Makefile, we could not determine | |
| 2169 | prereqs. Now fixed by using Module::Build. | |
| 2170 | ||
| 2171 | * bugfix: b command on unpublished bundles was broken due to wrong | |
| 2172 | handling of missing RO elements. | |
| 2173 | ||
| 2174 | * bugfix: do not die when you cannot verify a signature, proceed with a | |
| 2175 | fail instead. | |
| 2176 | ||
| 2177 | * new command "failed" reports about failed invocations of make, test or | |
| 2178 | install on CPAN::Distribution objects. | |
| 2179 | ||
| 2180 | * Jim's bold fight against the FirstTime dragons continues. | |
| 2181 | ||
| 2182 | 2006-01-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2183 | ||
| 2184 | * release 1.83_52 is a work in progress: Jim is proceeding with the | |
| 2185 | dressage of the FirstTime. It actually contains shell.t. | |
| 2186 | ||
| 2187 | 2006-01-08 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2188 | ||
| 2189 | * release 1.83_51 brings | |
| 2190 | ||
| 2191 | * restructure FirstTime in a way to enable us to ask single questions RSN | |
| 2192 | (Jim Cromie) | |
| 2193 | ||
| 2194 | * shell.t that can test dialogues | |
| 2195 | ||
| 2196 | * bugfix: show_upload_date now asks yes/no instead of 1/0 (Ask B. Hansen) | |
| 2197 | ||
| 2198 | * envariable CPAN_SHELL_LEVEL now available for subshells (Slaven Rezic) | |
| 2199 | ||
| 2200 | * enable date/time warnings without the help of HTTP::Date (inspired by | |
| 2201 | a bogus bugreport on perl monks that was only due to wrong system time) | |
| 2202 | ||
| 2203 | * bugfix: hide CPAN::Config from the indexer | |
| 2204 | ||
| 2205 | * provide a more traditional style ChangeLog and Changes file | |
| 2206 | ||
| 2207 | 2006-01-05 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2208 | ||
| 2209 | * release 1.82 and 1.83 are quick bugfix releases. | |
| 2210 | ||
| 2211 | 2006-01-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2212 | ||
| 2213 | * release 1.81 adds on top of 1.80_58: | |
| 2214 | ||
| 2215 | * bugfix: completion of debug options was not case insensitive | |
| 2216 | ||
| 2217 | * bugfix: installation of distributions was broken for distros | |
| 2218 | not mentioned in the index | |
| 2219 | ||
| 2220 | * include a hint that su might work as well as sudo in the dialog | |
| 2221 | about make_install_make_command and mbuild_install_build_command | |
| 2222 | ||
| 2223 | * add Module::Signature to the Bundle and move Digest::SHA higher | |
| 2224 | up so they start working as soon as possible | |
| 2225 | ||
| 2226 | * improve the dialog that ensues when bad signatures are | |
| 2227 | encountered | |
| 2228 | ||
| 2229 | 2006-01-01 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2230 | ||
| 2231 | * release 1.80_58 was a quick bugfix release | |
| 2232 | ||
| 2233 | 2005-12-31 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2234 | ||
| 2235 | * release 1.80_57 adds on top of 1.80_56 the following: | |
| 2236 | ||
| 2237 | * prerequisites fixed: File::Temp was missing in PREREQ_PM and | |
| 2238 | Bundle | |
| 2239 | ||
| 2240 | * reduce noise when $Debug is on | |
| 2241 | ||
| 2242 | * improved handling of whitespace in filenames (Roland Bauer; | |
| 2243 | rt.cpan.org #3201) | |
| 2244 | ||
| 2245 | * add the Module::Build configuration parameters to the required | |
| 2246 | parameters (thus users are relayed to the init dialog) | |
| 2247 | ||
| 2248 | * import less symbols | |
| 2249 | ||
| 2250 | * enhanced robustness if cwd gets removed while we're running | |
| 2251 | (Rhet Turnbull; rt.cpan.org #321) | |
| 2252 | ||
| 2253 | * add "notest" to the completion table | |
| 2254 | ||
| 2255 | * enhanced robustness when untar is failing or poses permission | |
| 2256 | problems | |
| 2257 | ||
| 2258 | * iron out some buglets in the "ls GLOB" code | |
| 2259 | ||
| 2260 | * enhanced robustness on "reload cpan" when the path to CPAN.pm | |
| 2261 | has changed | |
| 2262 | ||
| 2263 | * replace some hash accesses with method calls for a cleaner | |
| 2264 | interface (Work in Progress; no user-visible changes) | |
| 2265 | ||
| 2266 | * do not fail anymore when finding empty files left over from a | |
| 2267 | previous unsuccessful download | |
| 2268 | ||
| 2269 | * uptodate message more descriptive (Adam Kennedy; rt.cpan.rg | |
| 2270 | #15580) | |
| 2271 | ||
| 2272 | 2005-12-17 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> | |
| 2273 | ||
| 2274 | * release 1.80_56 is a release candidate for 1.81 | |
| 2275 | ||
| 2276 | * integrate release 1.5 of brian's cpan script from | |
| 2277 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/brian-d-foy/ | |
| 2278 | ||
| 2279 | * Support for Module::Build: to set the preference for | |
| 2280 | Module::Build over MakeMaker, run | |
| 2281 | ||
| 2282 | o conf prefer_installer MB | |
| 2283 | o conf commit | |
| 2284 | ||
| 2285 | * ls command supports globbing; these work nicely: | |
| 2286 | ||
| 2287 | ls KWILLIAMS/P* | |
| 2288 | ls JV/make* | |
| 2289 | ||
| 2290 | this works too but is slow: | |
| 2291 | ||
| 2292 | ls */*make* | |
| 2293 | ||
| 2294 | * META.yml data replace the Makefile parsing code if YAML | |
| 2295 | available (compensating for the frequent wrong usage of the | |
| 2296 | requires element) | |
| 2297 | ||
| 2298 | * support SHA256; stop using MD5 | |
| 2299 | ||
| 2300 | * support bzip2 compression; can be tested with 'install | |
| 2301 | ARTURAZ/Net-Vypress-Chat-0.72.1.tar.bz2'; the CPAN indexer does | |
| 2302 | not yet index bz2 distros but will probably start to do so as soon | |
| 2303 | as CPANPLUS supports bzip2 | |
| 2304 | ||
| 2305 | * tiny tweaks to make CPAN.pm run on a busybox (Guillaume Filion) | |
| 2306 | ||
| 2307 | * bugfix: major speedup on all commands that need expansion of | |
| 2308 | regular expressions to module names | |
| 2309 | ||
| 2310 | * prettier r command output: the 4th column of the 'r' command | |
| 2311 | drops the redundant X/XX/ prefix | |
| 2312 | ||
| 2313 | * tolerant when you type one colon instead of two on module names | |
| 2314 | ||

| 2316 | ||
| 2317 | * this is release 1.80 | |
| 2318 | ||
| 2319 | * support for Module::Signature courtesy Autrijus Tang | |
| 2320 | ||
| 2321 | * separated out new module CPAN::Version that has muchly improved | |
| 2322 | support for multidot version notation that should make the | |
| 2323 | deployment of version.pm easy for everybody. During the last weeks | |
| 2324 | the indexer on PAUSE also got improved version.pm support and | |
| 2325 | spits out numified versions. This release is optimized for the new | |
| 2326 | version handling, regardless if used with or without version.pm | |
| 2327 | (Thanks to John Peacock and to Graham Barr for their help) | |
| 2328 | ||
