3744 Version 5.003_20
3745------------------
28757baa 3746
3747The only language change in this release is the recension of support
3748for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be
3749a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition,
3750there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named
3751functions as closures.
3752
3753And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation
3754updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!"

3915Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory
3916leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The
3917method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test
3918directory, "t/pragma".
3919
3920IMHO, this is Beta quality code.

5382 (Finally defines semantics of "my" in control expressions,
5383 like the condition of "if" and "while". In all cases, scope
5384 of a "my" var extends to the end of the entire control
5385 structure. Also adds new construct "for my", which
5386 automatically declares the control variable "my" and limits
5387 its scope to the loop.)

5512 Version 5.003_07
5513------------------
c8bc418f 5514
5515This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed
5516in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious
5517testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004.
5518
5519If it doesn't work for you, try
5520
5521 LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
5522
5523for Bourne shell users, or
5524
5525 setenv LC_ALL C
5526
5527for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have
5528problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests
5529as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step.
5530
5531The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
5532
5533o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
5534
5535 -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for
5536 documentation on the 'w' option.
5537
5538 -untaint support added to IO extension.
5539
5540o Changes in Core Internals
5541
5542 -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
5543 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
5544 with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.)
5545
5546 -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4.
5547
5548o Configure and build enhancements
5549
5550 -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but
5551 they may be right.
5552
5553 -OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
5554
5555o Bug fixes
5556
5557 -print sort (4,1,3,2);
5558
5559 -group numbers are integers again.
5560
5561 -other things. See the specific changes for details.
5562
5563o Specific Changes
5564
5565Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
5566

5574
5575 Detect GNU libc (thanks, Skimo!) and avoid nm if we have GNU libc.
5576 Since the GNU libc test requires compiling and linking a test
5577 program, the dependencies have been altered and lots of pieces of
5578 Configure have moved around unchanged. The patch is big but the
5579 effect is little.
5580
5581 Allow for both <sys/select.h> and <time.h> in fd_set tests.
5582 Systems which don't allow both (e.g. SCO) have to turn off one
5583 or the other in the hints file for now.

5593 Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
5594
5595 This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
5596 IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
5597 that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
5598 said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
5599
5600 This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
5601 pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
5602 adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

5616 All the executable targets are moved into the same chunk with

5842
5843 I've just started using purify on a perl with DBD::Oracle linked in
5844 (the number of uninitialised memory reads in the Oracle libraries
5845 is frightning!).
5846
5847 If perl_destruct_level and $SIG{__WARN__} are set then I see a range
5848 of problems typified by this example and folowed by a core dump:

5982
5983 This broke between 5.001n and 5.002. There was a long winded thread
5984 about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around
5985 the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on
5986 p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that
5987 the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called:
5988
5989 Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above
5990 code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306.

6063 Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
6064
6065 This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
6066 IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
6067 that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
6068 said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
6069
6070 This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
6071 pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
6072 adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

6163 Version 5.003_06
6164------------------
6165
f5cdf9d7 6166This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation,
6167and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003.
6168The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
6169
6170o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
6171
6172 -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for
6173 locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod.
c8bc418f 6174 Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
f5cdf9d7 6175
6176 -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be
6177 backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex.
6178
6179 -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size
6180 %hash.
6181
6182 -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted.
6183
6184o Changes in Core Internals
6185
6186 -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03
6187 versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented
6188 as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and
6189 gv_efullname3.
6190
6191 -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
6192 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
6193 with 5.003.
6194
6195o Configure and build enhancements
6196
6197 -many new tests for the standard library.
6198
6199 -test suite now locale-friendly.
6200
6201 -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods.
6202
6203o Bug fixes
6204
6205 -whitespace lexer errors fixed.
6206
6207 -many, many other things. See details below.
6208
6209o Specific Changes

6211Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

6236This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05.
6237This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06.
6238
6239To apply this patch, run the above commands,
6240cd to your perl source directory and then type
6241
6242 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat
6243
6244The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is
6245designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
6246
6247 csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}'
6248
6249(Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your
6250csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100
6251files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.)

6337 The patch below (which is relative to perl5.001l) implements
6338 "keys %hash = 50_000;" (or other integer-evaluable sizes) for

6582 I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
6583 to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
6584 I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
6585 needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
6586 hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.

f5cdf9d7 7217 Subject: Re: pre extending hash? - need speed
7218
7219 The patch below (which is relative to perl5.001l) implements
7220 "keys %hash = 50_000;" (or other integer-evaluable sizes) for
7221 pre-sizing hashes. I've only moved the patch forward from
7222 when I first did it. I'm sure the code in hv_ksplit could be
7223 improved.
7224
7225 Revert from Perl_malloc to Mymalloc for binary compatibility with
7226 5.003.

7667 Subject: Pod typos, pod2man bugs, and miscellaneous installation comments
7668
7669 Here is a patch for various typos and other defects in the Perl
7670 5.003_05 pods, including the pods embedded in library modules.
7671
7672 Bugs found in pod2man
7673
7674 The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed:
7675
7676 1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not
7677 treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been
7678 rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked
7679 around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand,
7680 remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs
7681 can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod,
7682 without breaking links.]
7683
7684 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part
7685 of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the
7686 \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source
7687 having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.]
7688
7689 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass
7690 by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'.
7691
7692 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff
7693 from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction.
7694
7695 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this
7696 confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins
7697 with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead
7698 of basic functions."'.
7699
7700 Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod
7701 modules, when ready, will not have these defects.

7723 Subject: Patch: Untaint FH flag and clean DATA handles
7724
7725 This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
7726 on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
7727 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
7728 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
7729 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
7730 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
7731 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
7732 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
7733 this should not introduce any insecurity.
7734

7736

7764 Subject: Patch to patch for untainting
7765
7766 The following patch ensures that a glob used as a filehandle that
7767 has had the UNTAINT flag set will not carry that flag over on a
7768 re-open. In a nutshell, a re-open of the DATA filehandle would be
7769 considered untainted, and an object of class IO::Handle (or one of
7770 its sub-classes) that is marked untainted with the untaint method,
7771 then closed and re-opened, retained the untaintedness.

f5cdf9d7 7775
7776 First, with IO::untaint, the patches as posted resulted in a
7777 miniperl which couldn't open files, so the autosplitting of the
7778 library and the creation of Makefiles for the extensions didn't
7779 work. Worse, it didn't just fail to open files, it dumped core.

7828 I've added some DEBUG_Ps to sv.c which give a trace of the
7829 fast I/O fiddling with stdio in sv_gets(). These were useful
7830 to me in setting up the VMS fast I/O, and I left them in in
7831 case they're useful to someone in the future. However, if you
7832 think it overloads -DP too much, feel free to drop it. (-DP
7833 already adds a profile of op usage to its advertised output.)

f5cdf9d7 7865 Subject: Re: "Attempt to free non-existent shared string"? (with patch)
7866
7867 I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
7868 to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
7869 I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
7870 needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
7871 hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
7872
7873 Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.
7874 The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private
7875 flag.

8284
8285 This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
8286 on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
8287 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
8288 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
8289 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
8290 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
8291 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
8292 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
8293 this should not introduce any insecurity.
8294
8295 This patch *does not*:
8296
8297 * Add the "untaint" keyword.

f5cdf9d7 8334 Subject: h2xs bug fix
8335
8336 The h2xs that is in perl5.003_05 has a regexp bug which prevents it from
8337 finding #define statements and filling the constant() function. This patch
8338 fixes that. The h2xs_test program found this--maybe people who are
8339 modifying h2xs should get a copy of the test program.
8340
8341 This also adds a -d to enable debugging messages (there's just one for now).
8342 I've also placed some of the doc-related things in alphabetical order.
8343
8344 h2xs_test can be found in my directory on CPAN. Those of you modifying
8345 xsubpp should know there's a test suite for that, too, called XSTEST which
8346 can also be found in my directory on CPAN.

8411------------------
8412 Version 5.003_05
8413------------------
bde20468 8414
8415This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
8416the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below.
8417A very brief summary is:
8418
8419o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
8420
8421 -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles.
f5cdf9d7 8422
bde20468 8423 -times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather
8424 than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some
8425 systems, but should be correct now.
8426
8427 -AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected)
8428 Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
8429 order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
8430 the same.
8431
8432o Configure and build enhancements
8433
8434 -Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
8435 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
8436 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
f5cdf9d7 8437
bde20468 8438 -You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through
8439 the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate
8440 ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently
8441 supported. Others are easy to add. (This makes like a lot easier
8442 for embedders.)
8443
8444 -VMS updates.
f5cdf9d7 8445
bde20468 8446 -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only
8447 prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
8448
8449o Bug fixes
8450
8451 -debugger ought to work.
8452
8453 -A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented
8454 5.003_04 from working most places.
8455
8456 -numerous smaller ones, detailed below.
8457
8458o Specific Changes
8459
8460Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
8461
8462# This is my patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl5.003_04
8463# The full description is below.
8464# Please execute the following commands before applying this patch.

8474
8475
8476This is patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl version 5.003_04.
8477This takes you from 5.003_04 to 5.003_05.
8478
8479To apply this patch, run the above commands,
8480cd to your perl source directory and then type
8481
8482 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat
8483
8484The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
8485designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
8486
8487 csplit -k perl5.003_05.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'

8497 Allow trailing spaces in nm output for HPUX10.
8498
8499 Check for newer BIND 'search' directives in /etc/resolv.conf as well
8500 as older 'domain' directive.
8501
8502 Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
8503 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
8504 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
8505
8506 Include -s in the -h summary of available options.
8507
8508 Allow command-line override of $afs.
8509
8510 Handle trailing spaces in nm-output on HPUX10.
8511
8512 Set shrpenv for handling LD_RUN_PATH, if needed. (This used to
8513 be in Makefile.SH. Now it's available for other modules too.)
8514
8515 When using shared libperl, avoid LD_RUN_PATH if possible by adding
8516 correct ld flags. Currently, Solaris and NetBSD get the correct
8517 -R $archlibexp/CORE, and Linux gets its
8518 -Wl,-rpath,$archlibexp/CORE flag. Other contributions are

8668 I have tried to avoid copying of hash keys that are passed to
8669 magical hashes, but it seems that copying may be unavoidable
8670 since the hv_*_ent() functions could be PADTMPs (and other
8671 SVs that may get reused) as keys.

8707 Add helpful "die" message to end of AnyDBM_File. Previously
8708 it would return a 0, and the failure would eventually show up
8709 somewhere else in the script and be hard to track down. It is
8710 a failure if perl can't open AnyDBM_File. The test regression

8755 There was a mistake in the sqrt routine in lib/Math/Complex.pm that

8757 argument exceeded the magnitude of the real part. Line 69 had too
8758 many sqrt($y)'s. Further, expressions were re-arranged so that

9126This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
9127the changes made in 5.003_03. The details are described below.
9128A very brief summary is:
9129
9130o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
9131
9132 -Allow and document permissions for FileHandle::new and
9133 IO::File::new.
9134 -glob in Safe compartment used to allow shell access; now
9135 it's in the same category as `` and system().
9136
9137o Configure and build enhancements
f5cdf9d7 9138
395b538b 9139 -perl library name is again -lperl, not -lperl5 in some cases.
9140 -Several hint files no longer set -g -DDEBUGGING by default.
9141 Instead, they just turn off optimization, since that is
9142 probably what was intended.
9143 -Include OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
9144
9145o Bug fixes
9146
9147 -SEGV with $_[0] and circular references fixed.
9148 -Ilya's debugger patch.
9149 -FAKE typeglobs fixed.

9292 Subject: Patch for LONG_MAX & co.
9293
9294 Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this
9295 should resolve the *_MAX issues permanently. It adds to the
9296 previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX
9297 symbols the complete set of
9298 /PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to
9299 those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard
9300 Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN,
9301 and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are
9302 changed appropriately.
9303
9304 The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad
9305 limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all
9306 works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on.

9365
9366 Subject: FAKE typeglobs seriously busted (with patch)
9367
9368 Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs
9369 in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't
9370 so in 5.001n).
9371 The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname()
9372 which might coerce its first arg to a string.
9373
9374 Sub-critical patch to conceivably fix some %SIG problems. (Shared hash key
9375 weren't being properly detected by some of the sig magic, but as shared
9376 hash keys wouldn't normally be used in %SIG it's unlikely this is a
9377 significant problem.)

9450Index: perlio.c
9451
9452 Removes an incorrect prototype for setlinebuf from
9453 perlio.c because it conflicts with the correct declaration in
9454 MachTen's stdio.h (and possibly other stdio's as well).
9455
9456 Secondly, the code in perlio.c is not handling the (!PERLIO_IS_STDIO &
9457 HAS_F[GS]ETPOS) case. The patch fixes this omission (in a rather lumpen
9458 manner). I don't think this should affect platforms which try to hack a
9459 different path through the #ifdef forest, but this assertion would benefit
9460 from testing...

395b538b 9555 Subject: Track SVs for destruction when -DPURIFY
9556
9557 When checking for memory leaks, I compiled Perl with "-DPURIFY".
9558 Although that flag improves the leak checking, it also breaks
9559 destruction of global objects, because SVs aren't kept in captive
9560 arenas any more.
9561
9562 This patch rectifies the problem by providing an alternative
9563 method for keeping track of SVs when Perl is compiled for Purify.
9564 It has no effect on normal operation.

9648 Version 5.003_03
9649------------------
e2cc8666 9650
9651Most of the changes in 5.003_03 are to make the build and installation
9652process more robust. The details are described below. A very brief
9653summary is:
9654
9655o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
9656
9657 -Support for tied filehandles.
9658
9659o Configure enhancements
9660
9661 -How to build and install a shared libperl.so is now documented
9662 and supported, though it's not the default for most platforms.
9663
9664o Bug fixes
9665
9666 -Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes.
9667
9668 -If a regex supplied to split() contains paranthesized subpatterns
9669 that can result in null matches, perl no longer coredumps.
9670
9671 -Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
9672
9673 -Make h2ph architecture-independent by using Config at run-time
9674 rather than extraction time.

9718The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
9719designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
9720
9721 csplit -k perl5.003_03.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'
9722
e2cc8666 9723Index: Changes
9724
9725 Include 5.003_03 change notes.
9726
9727 Move older change notes to separate files.

9744
9745Index: Configure
9746
9747 Relaxed warning about ksh on exotic machines.
9748
9749 Changed usesafe to useopcode.
9750
9751 Add search for gzip and zip.
9752
9753 Look more carefully for $sh (the Bourne-ish shell).
9754 Use that info to set $startsh correctly.
9755
9756 Change prompts for PerlIO interface. See INSTALL
9757 for how this is supposed to work. The default is
9758 still the same as in 5.003_02, namely don't use
9759 any fancy new PerlIO stuff.
9760
9761 Don't look for sigvec() since we don't actually use it.
9762 (Plus, it used to print an alarming misleading message about
9763 race conditions.)
9764
9765 Look for stdio's _filbuf under the possible names of
9766 _filbuf, __filbuf, and _fill.
9767
9768 New $useshrplib variable to control whether we build a shared
9769 libperl.so. The name of the library is in $libperl.
9770 Always install it in $installarchlib/CORE/$libperl.
9771
9772 Check for <sys/resource.h> and <sys/wait.h> for NetBSD.
9773
9774 Replace old $altmake stuff with newer autoconf-ish
9775 $make_set_make, which checks if $make sets $(MAKE). Now you
9776 choose an alternate make with sh Configure -Dmake=gmake (or
9777 whatever).
9778
9779 Remove 'ln' for the list of essential commands. Simulate
9780 it with 'cp' if necessary.
9781
9782 Change `logname` prompts to handle extra gratuitous spaces in
9783 Ultrix output.
9784
9785 Autodetect os2.
9786
9787 Fix silly bug in checking for fully-qualified names in /etc/hosts.
9788
9789 Generalize Gconvert tests. Give correct and more useful
9790 error messages.
9791
9792 Use $obj_ext instead of literal '.o' in the dynaloader test.
9793
9794 Include appropriate header files in bcopy() and memcpy()
9795 tests. Note whether memmove is available.
9796
9797 Check whether struct sigaction works (needed for Solaris 2.5
9798 with -Xc).
9799
9800 Include appropriate header files for randbits test.
9801
9802Index: INSTALL
9803
9804 Add note about space requirements.
9805
9806 Update to match Configure changes (Opcode vs. Safe,
9807 useperlio, useshrplib, etc.)
9808
9809 Reorganize the structure of some of the hints.
9810
9811 Miscellaneous clarifications.
9812
9813Index: MANIFEST
9814
9815 Updated. 5.003_02 introduced some massive patches, mostly
9816 due to spacing changes. I didn't bother to sort them all out;
9817 I just started with 5.003's MANIEFST.
9818
9819Index: Makefile.SH
9820
9821 Support the new simplified shared libperl mechanism.
9822
9823 Use new $make_set_make directive.
9824
9825 Remove redundant libperl Make variable.
9826
9827 Remove unnecessary MAB variable.
9828
9829 Remove dependency of minitest on lib/Config.pm, since it could
9830 well have been a failure of configpm that inspired testing
9831 miniperl in the first place!
9832
9833Index: Porting/Glossary
9834
9835 New file describing all the config.sh variables.
9836 Eventually, I hope to fill this directory with other useful
9837 stuff.
9838
9839Index: README.os2
9840
9841 Replace old README.os2 with more up-to-date os2/README.
9842
9843Index: config_H
9844
9845 Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH.
9846 Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new
9847 dependencies in the metaconfig units.
9848
9849Index: config_h.SH
9850
9851 Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH.
9852 Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new
9853 dependencies in the metaconfig units.
9854
9855 Include full descriptions of ARCHLIB, OLDARCHLIB, PRIVLIB,
9856 SITEARCH, and SITELIB. Previous versions just included the
9857 ~-expanded names (with unhelpful descriptions). No functionality
9858 is changed, but maybe it's a little better documented now.
9859
9860Index: doio.c
9861
9862 Possibly Include <signal.h> and <unistd.h>
9863
9864Index: doop.c
9865
9866 No longer prefer bcmp over memcmp when order doesn't matter.
9867

9905 Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
9906
9907Index: handy.h
9908
9909 Change safe*alloc functions to have prototypes that
9910 match the system's malloc and free types. That is, use
9911 Malloc_t instead of char *, and Free_t instead of void.
9912 This is necessary so . . .
9913
9914 Safefree cast matches type of free() whether it's perl's
9915 malloc/free or the system's malloc/free.
9916
9917Index: hints/README.hints

e2cc8666 9935 Configure will now automatically detect shared libperl stuff.
9936
9937Index: hints/epix.sh
9938
9939 Use glibpth instead of libpth. This allows Configure to
9940 add local directories, such as /opt/local/lib, etc.
9941
9942Index: hints/irix_6_2.sh
9943
9944 Include some info on cc -n32 compile.

9956 Use glibpth instead of libpth.
9957
9958Index: hints/next_3.sh
9959
9960 Build up $mab dynamically. Since $mab isn't used anywhere
9961 anymore, this is useless. However, $mab was never used for
9962 next_3.sh anyway, so there's been no change in functionality.
9963
9964Index: hints/next_4.sh
9965
9966 Get rid of extraneous isnext_4 variable. Configure and
9967 Makefile.SH will use $osname and $osvers instead.
9968
9969 Build up $mab dynamically based on available architectures.
9970
9971 Absorb $mab into ccflags and ccdlflags. I hope that will
9972 cover everything. (Configure should automatically remove
9973 the -arch stuff from cppflags.)
9974
9975 Configure now knows next4 needs to use a shared libperl.5.so.
9976
9977 Allow users to use -Dprefix.
9978
9979Index: hints/os2.sh
9980
9981 Try to update to reflect newer shared libperl stuff.
9982 I probably goofed :-).

9987
9988 Additional flags for dynamic loading.
9989
9990Index: hints/solaris_2.sh
9991
9992 Perl.h no longer prefers bcmp, so it's again ok if Configure
9993 finds them, since perl will prefer the mem* versions anyway.

10048
10049 Put back in the BEGIN { require 5.002; }. The version in
10050 5.003_02 wouldn't work in 5.002 anyway. Further, the whole
10051 point of the construct is to catch 5.001m, so we can't use
10052 syntax introduced after 5.001m to do that.
10053
10054Index: lib/Text/Wrap.pm

10072 Include <unistd.h>
10073
10074 Use Safefree() macro instead of safefree() function with
10075 a (possibly) incorrect cast. The whole point of the
10076 Safefree() macro is that it does the correct cast for you.

10090 about ordering.
10091
10092 Rely on Configure setting SH_PATH.
10093
10094 Change the function name to Pause() instead of pause() to
10095 avoid potential prototype problems. (This naming convention
10096 is similar to the Fwrite and Fflush macros.)
10097
10098 Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
10099

10109 finished.

10111 Remove a lot of trailing whitespace. (It's of no consequence, but
10112 but I'm not going to redo the patch just to put back in the trailing
10113 whitespace either.)

760ac839
LW		 10263o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
10264 - Redefining constant subs, or changing sub's prototype now give warnings.

10272 mechanism, Default Configure mode is still to use stdio via set of C macros.
f5cdf9d7 10273 Alternate modes are to use stdio via one perlio.c module, or
760ac839 10274 to use sfio if available.
f5cdf9d7 10275
760ac839
LW		 10276 - Several bug fixs from perl5-porters
10277 - Make sources non-ANSI C correct again.

10307Version 5.003_01 contains bugfixes and additions accumulated since
10308version 5.002_01, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately
10309kept simple. In addition to numerous small bugfixes in the core,
10310library files, and documentation, this patch contains several
10311significant revisions, summarized below:
10312
10313o Visible Changes to Core Functionality

10315 - A port to Plan9 has been started, and changes are integrated into
10316 the standard distribution. As of this release, the Perl core
10317 and several common extensions are working.
10318
10319 - A set of basic methods in the UNIVERSAL class have been added to
10320 the Perl core. Since UNIVERSAL is an implicit member of every
10321 class's @ISA, the methods can be called via any object.
10322
10323 - A mandatory warning has been added for 'declarations' of lexical
10324 variables using the "my" operator which mask an existing lexical
10325 variable declared in the same scope, making the previous variable
10326 inaccessible by its name.
10327
10328 - The "use" and "require" operators have been extended to allow
10329 checking of the required module's version. The "use" operator
10330 can now be used for an immediate version check of Perl itself.
10331
10332 - A new "strict" pragma, "strict untie", has been added, which
10333 produces an error if a tied value is untied when other references
10334 exist to the internal object implementing the tie.
10335
10336 - Barewords used as associative array keys (i.e. when specifying
10337 an associative array element like $foo{__BAR} or on the left
10338 side of the => operator) may now begin with an underscore as
10339 well as an alphabetic character.
10340
10341 - Some of the configuration information previously produced by the
10342 -v switch has been moved to the -V switch, in order to keep -v
10343 output concise.
10344
10345o Changes in Core Internals
10346
10347 - Symbol table and method lookups have been made faster.
10348
10349 - Perl subroutines which just return a constant value are now
10350 optimized at compile time into inline constants.
10351
10352 - Management of keys for associative arrays has been improved to
10353 conserve space when the same keys are reused frequently, and
10354 to pass true Perl values to tie functions, instead of stringified
10355 representations.
10356
10357 - Messages normally output to stderr may be directed to another
10358 stream when Perl is built. This allows some platforms to
10359 present diagnostic output in a separate window from normal
10360 program results.
10361
10362 - A bug which caused suiperl to fail silently, albeit securely,
10363 in version 5.003 on some systems has been fixed.
10364
10365 - Management of Unix-style signal handlers via the %SIG associative
10366 array has been made safer.
10367
10368 - Several global C symbols have been renamed to eliminate collisions
10369 with system C header files or libraries on some platforms.
10370 Unfortunately, this means that dynamic extensions compiled under
10371 previous versions of Perl will need to be rebuilt for Perl
10372 5.003_01. We're in the process of cleaning up Perl's C
10373 namespace to make it easier to link Perl with other binaries,
10374 so this will probably happen again between now and version 5.004.
10375 After that, we'll do our best to maintain binary compatibility
10376 between versions.
10377
10378 - An alternate allocation strategy has been added to Perl's
10379 optional private memory management routines. This strategy,
10380 which may be selected when Perl is built, is designed to
10381 conserve memory in programs which allocate many small
10382 chunks of memory with sizes near a power of 2, as is often
10383 the case in Perl programs.
10384
10385 - Several memory leaks in the creation and destruction of
10386 multiple interpreters have been fixed.
10387
10388o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities
10389
10390 - The Opcode extension, which allows you to control a program's
10391 access to Perl operations, has been added to the standard
10392 distribution. This extends the work begun in the original
10393 Safe extension, and subsumes it. The Safe interface is still
10394 available.
10395
10396 - The IO extension, which provides a set of classes for object-
10397 oriented handling of common I/O tasks, has been added to the
10398 standard distribution. The IO classes will form the basis
10399 for future development of Perl's I/O interface, and will
10400 subsume the FileHandle class in the near future. The default
10401 class to which all Perl I/O handles belong is now IO::Handle,
10402 rather than FileHandle.
10403
10404 - The ExtUtils::Embed library module, which provides a set
10405 of utility function to help in embedding Perl in other
10406 applications, has been added to the standard distribution.
10407
10408 - The Fatal library module, which provides a simple interface
10409 for creating "do-or-die" equivalents of existing functions,
10410 has been added to the standard distribution.
10411
10412 - The FindBin library module, which determines the full path
10413 to the currently executing program, has been added to the
10414 standard distribution.
10415
10416 - The DB_File extension, and the Getopt::Long, Test::Harness,
10417 Text::Tabs, Text::Wrap, Time::Local and sigtrap library modules
10418 have been updated to the authors' latest versions.
10419
10420 - The Carp library module now considers the @ISA chain when
10421 determining the caller's package for inclusion in error messages.
10422
10423 - The h2xs, perlbug, and xsubpp utilities have been updated.
10424
10425 - The standard Perl debugger has been updated, and the information
10426 provided to the debugger when an XSUB is called has been improved,
10427 making it possible for alternate debuggers (such as Devel::DProf)
10428 to do a better job of tracking XSUB calls.
10429
10430 - The pod documentation formatting tools in the standard distribution
10431 can now handle characters in the input stream whose high bit is set.
10432
10433 - The cperl-mode EMACS editing mode has been updated.
10434
10435o Changes in Documentation
10436
10437 - Typographic and formatting errors have been corrected in the pod
10438 documentation for the core and standard library files
10439
10440 - Explanations of several core operators have been improved
10441
10442 - The perldebug, perlembed, perlipc, perlsec, and perltrap documents
10443 extensively revised.
10444
10445o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
10446
10447 - Support for the NeXT platform has been extended through
10448 NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP 4.0, and now includes the ability to create MABs.
10449
10450 - Support for OS/2 has been extended as well, and now includes
10451 options for building a.out binaries.
10452
10453 - Support for VMS has also been extended, incorporating improved
10454 processing of file specification strings, optional suppression of
10455 carriage control interpretation for record-structured files,
10456 improved support for the -S command line switch, a number of
10457 VMS-specific bugfixes, and significantly improved performance
10458 in line-oriented reading of files.
10459
10460 - Several hints files have been added or updated: aux.sh (updated),
10461 convexos.sh (updated), irix_4.sh (updated), irix_5.sh (updated),
10462 irix_6_2.sh (updated), next_3.sh (updated), next_3_2.sh (new),
10463 next_3_3.sh (new), next_4.sh (new), os2/sh (updated),
10464 sco.sh (updated), and solaris_2.sh (updated).
10465
10466 - The test driver for the regression tests now reports when a set
10467 of tests have been skipped (presumable because the operation
10468 they're designed to test isn't supported on the current system).
