| 1181 | ---------------- |
| 1182 | Version 5.003_20 |
| 1183 | ---------------- |
| 1184 | |
| 1185 | The only language change in this release is the recension of support |
| 1186 | for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be |
| 1187 | a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition, |
| 1188 | there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named |
| 1189 | functions as closures. |
| 1190 | |
| 1191 | And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation |
| 1192 | updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!" |

| 1349 | ---------------- |
| 1350 | Version 5.003_19 |
| 1351 | ---------------- |
| 1352 | |
| 1353 | Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory |
| 1354 | leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The |
| 1355 | method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test |
| 1356 | directory, "t/pragma". |
| 1357 | |
| 1358 | IMHO, this is Beta quality code. |

| 2959 | LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL |
| 2960 | |
| 2961 | for Bourne shell users, or |
| 2962 | |
| 2963 | setenv LC_ALL C |
| 2964 | |
| 2965 | for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have |
| 2966 | problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests |
| 2967 | as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step. |
| 2968 | |
| 2969 | The details are described below. A very brief summary is: |
| 2970 | |
| 2971 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 2972 | |
| 2973 | -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for |
| 2974 | documentation on the 'w' option. |
| 2975 | |
| 2976 | -untaint support added to IO extension. |
| 2977 | |
| 2978 | o Changes in Core Internals |
| 2979 | |
| 2980 | -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC), |
| 2981 | as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility |
| 2982 | with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.) |
| 2983 | |
| 2984 | -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4. |
| 2985 | |
| 2986 | o Configure and build enhancements |
| 2987 | |
| 2988 | -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but |
| 2989 | they may be right. |
| 2990 | |
| 2991 | -OS/2 and Plan9 updates. |
| 2992 | |
| 2993 | o Bug fixes |
| 2994 | |
| 2995 | -print sort (4,1,3,2); |
| 2996 | |
| 2997 | -group numbers are integers again. |
| 2998 | |
| 2999 | -other things. See the specific changes for details. |
| 3000 | |
| 3001 | o Specific Changes |
| 3002 | |
| 3003 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |
| 3004 | |
| 3005 | Index: Changes |
| 3006 | |
| 3007 | Updated for 5.003_07. |
| 3008 | |
| 3009 | Fixed a spelling error. |
| 3010 | |
| 3011 | Index: Configure |
| 3012 | |
| 3013 | Detect GNU libc (thanks, Skimo!) and avoid nm if we have GNU libc. |
| 3014 | Since the GNU libc test requires compiling and linking a test |
| 3015 | program, the dependencies have been altered and lots of pieces of |
| 3016 | Configure have moved around unchanged. The patch is big but the |
| 3017 | effect is little. |
| 3018 | |
| 3019 | Allow for both <sys/select.h> and <time.h> in fd_set tests. |
| 3020 | Systems which don't allow both (e.g. SCO) have to turn off one |
| 3021 | or the other in the hints file for now. |

| 3031 | Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version |
| 3032 | |
| 3033 | This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in |
| 3034 | IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object |
| 3035 | that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from |
| 3036 | said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid. |
| 3037 | |
| 3038 | This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the |
| 3039 | pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and |
| 3040 | adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST. |

| 3420 | |
| 3421 | This broke between 5.001n and 5.002. There was a long winded thread |
| 3422 | about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around |
| 3423 | the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on |
| 3424 | p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that |
| 3425 | the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called: |
| 3426 | |
| 3427 | Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above |
| 3428 | code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306. |

| 3501 | Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version |
| 3502 | |
| 3503 | This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in |
| 3504 | IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object |
| 3505 | that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from |
| 3506 | said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid. |
| 3507 | |
| 3508 | This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the |
| 3509 | pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and |
| 3510 | adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST. |

| 3600 | ---------------- |
| 3601 | Version 5.003_06 |
| 3602 | ---------------- |
| 3603 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation, |
| 3604 | and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003. |
| 3605 | The details are described below. A very brief summary is: |
| 3606 | |
| 3607 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 3608 | |
| 3609 | -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for |
| 3610 | locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod. |
| 3611 | Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi. |
| 3612 | |
| 3613 | -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be |
| 3614 | backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex. |
| 3615 | |
| 3616 | -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size |
| 3617 | %hash. |
| 3618 | |
| 3619 | -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted. |
| 3620 | |
| 3621 | o Changes in Core Internals |
| 3622 | |
| 3623 | -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03 |
| 3624 | versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented |
| 3625 | as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and |
| 3626 | gv_efullname3. |
| 3627 | |
| 3628 | -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC), |
| 3629 | as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility |
| 3630 | with 5.003. |
| 3631 | |
| 3632 | o Configure and build enhancements |
| 3633 | |
| 3634 | -many new tests for the standard library. |
| 3635 | |
| 3636 | -test suite now locale-friendly. |
| 3637 | |
| 3638 | -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods. |
| 3639 | |
| 3640 | o Bug fixes |
| 3641 | |
| 3642 | -whitespace lexer errors fixed. |
| 3643 | |
| 3644 | -many, many other things. See details below. |
| 3645 | |
| 3646 | o Specific Changes |
| 3647 | |
| 3648 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |
| 3649 | |

| 3672 | |
| 3673 | This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05. |
| 3674 | This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06. |
| 3675 | |
| 3676 | To apply this patch, run the above commands, |
| 3677 | cd to your perl source directory and then type |
| 3678 | |
| 3679 | patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat |
| 3680 | |
| 3681 | The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is |
| 3682 | designed so you can examine each change with a command such as |
| 3683 | |
| 3684 | csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}' |
| 3685 | |
| 3686 | (Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your |
| 3687 | csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100 |
| 3688 | files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.) |
| 3689 | |

| 4025 | I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used |

| 4027 | I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is |

| 4099 | It would IMHO be much better if the AutoLoader exported the AUTOLOAD() |

| 4581 | |
| 4582 | This patch undoes a bit of over-zealous integerization in mg.c, |
| 4583 | related to the numeric values of $! and $^E. This patch *REPLACES* |
| 4584 | the one I posted earlier, which was only effective for $!. |

| 4655 | The effect is to remove the CHAR_* and I8_* constants (which are |
| 4656 | ambiguous) and to explicitly cast all of the constants. |

| 5115 | Bugs found in pod2man |
| 5116 | |
| 5117 | The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed: |
| 5118 | |
| 5119 | 1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not |
| 5120 | treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been |
| 5121 | rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked |
| 5122 | around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand, |
| 5123 | remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs |
| 5124 | can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod, |
| 5125 | without breaking links.] |
| 5126 | |
| 5127 | 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part |
| 5128 | of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the |
| 5129 | \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source |
| 5130 | having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.] |
| 5131 | |
| 5132 | 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass |
| 5133 | by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'. |
| 5134 | |
| 5135 | 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff |
| 5136 | from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction. |
| 5137 | |
| 5138 | 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this |
| 5139 | confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins |
| 5140 | with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead |
| 5141 | of basic functions."'. |
| 5142 | |
| 5143 | Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod |
| 5144 | modules, when ready, will not have these defects. |

| 5208 | |
| 5209 | The following patch ensures that a glob used as a filehandle that |
| 5210 | has had the UNTAINT flag set will not carry that flag over on a |
| 5211 | re-open. In a nutshell, a re-open of the DATA filehandle would be |
| 5212 | considered untainted, and an object of class IO::Handle (or one of |
| 5213 | its sub-classes) that is marked untainted with the untaint method, |
| 5214 | then closed and re-opened, retained the untaintedness. |

| 5309 | |
| 5310 | I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used |
| 5311 | to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over). |
| 5312 | I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is |
| 5313 | needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical |
| 5314 | hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags. |
| 5315 | |
| 5316 | Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem. |
| 5317 | The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private |
| 5318 | flag. |

| 5726 | Subject: Patch: Untaint FH flag and clean DATA handles |
| 5727 | |
| 5728 | This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles |
| 5729 | on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given |
| 5730 | file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on. |
| 5731 | There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag |
| 5732 | before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same |
| 5733 | reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on |
| 5734 | on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA |
| 5735 | pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so |
| 5736 | this should not introduce any insecurity. |
| 5737 | |
| 5738 | This patch *does not*: |
| 5739 | |
| 5740 | * Add the "untaint" keyword. |

| 5777 | Subject: h2xs bug fix |
| 5778 | |
| 5779 | The h2xs that is in perl5.003_05 has a regexp bug which prevents it from |
| 5780 | finding #define statements and filling the constant() function. This patch |
| 5781 | fixes that. The h2xs_test program found this--maybe people who are |
| 5782 | modifying h2xs should get a copy of the test program. |
| 5783 | |
| 5784 | This also adds a -d to enable debugging messages (there's just one for now). |
| 5785 | I've also placed some of the doc-related things in alphabetical order. |
| 5786 | |
| 5787 | h2xs_test can be found in my directory on CPAN. Those of you modifying |
| 5788 | xsubpp should know there's a test suite for that, too, called XSTEST which |
| 5789 | can also be found in my directory on CPAN. |

| 5853 | ---------------- |
| 5854 | Version 5.003_05 |
| 5855 | ---------------- |
| 5856 | |
| 5857 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of |
| 5858 | the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below. |
| 5859 | A very brief summary is: |
| 5860 | |
| 5861 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 5862 | |
| 5863 | -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles. |
| 5864 | |
| 5865 | -times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather |
| 5866 | than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some |
| 5867 | systems, but should be correct now. |
| 5868 | |
| 5869 | -AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected) |
| 5870 | Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select |
| 5871 | order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still |
| 5872 | the same. |
| 5873 | |
| 5874 | o Configure and build enhancements |
| 5875 | |
| 5876 | -Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have |
| 5877 | BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use |
| 5878 | [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible. |
| 5879 | |
| 5880 | -You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through |
| 5881 | the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate |
| 5882 | ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently |
| 5883 | supported. Others are easy to add. (This makes like a lot easier |
| 5884 | for embedders.) |
| 5885 | |
| 5886 | -VMS updates. |
| 5887 | |
| 5888 | -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only |
| 5889 | prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.) |
| 5890 | |
| 5891 | o Bug fixes |
| 5892 | |
| 5893 | -debugger ought to work. |
| 5894 | |
| 5895 | -A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented |
| 5896 | 5.003_04 from working most places. |
| 5897 | |
| 5898 | -numerous smaller ones, detailed below. |
| 5899 | |
| 5900 | o Specific Changes |
| 5901 | |
| 5902 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |
| 5903 | |
| 5904 | # This is my patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl5.003_04 |
| 5905 | # The full description is below. |
| 5906 | # Please execute the following commands before applying this patch. |
| 5907 | # (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.) |
| 5908 | # Andy Dougherty <doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu> |
| 5909 | |
| 5910 | # We'll create a new test, but patch won't automatically make it |
| 5911 | # executable. |
| 5912 | touch t/io/read.t |
| 5913 | chmod +x t/io/read.t |
| 5914 | |
| 5915 | exit 0 |
| 5916 | |
| 5917 | |
| 5918 | This is patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl version 5.003_04. |
| 5919 | This takes you from 5.003_04 to 5.003_05. |
| 5920 | |
| 5921 | To apply this patch, run the above commands, |
| 5922 | cd to your perl source directory and then type |
| 5923 | |
| 5924 | patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat |
| 5925 | |
| 5926 | The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is |
| 5927 | designed so you can examine each change with a command such as |
| 5928 | |
| 5929 | csplit -k perl5.003_05.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}' |
| 5930 | |

| 5937 | Index: Changes |
| 5938 | |
| 5939 | Updated for 5.003_05. |
| 5940 | |
| 5941 | Index: Configure |
| 5942 | |
| 5943 | Allow command line or hint-file overrides of $afs. |
| 5944 | |
| 5945 | Allow trailing spaces in nm output for HPUX10. |
| 5946 | |
| 5947 | Check for newer BIND 'search' directives in /etc/resolv.conf as well |
| 5948 | as older 'domain' directive. |
| 5949 | |
| 5950 | Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have |
| 5951 | BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use |
| 5952 | [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible. |
| 5953 | |
| 5954 | Include -s in the -h summary of available options. |
| 5955 | |
| 5956 | Allow command-line override of $afs. |
| 5957 | |
| 5958 | Handle trailing spaces in nm-output on HPUX10. |
| 5959 | |
| 5960 | Set shrpenv for handling LD_RUN_PATH, if needed. (This used to |
| 5961 | be in Makefile.SH. Now it's available for other modules too.) |
| 5962 | |
| 5963 | When using shared libperl, avoid LD_RUN_PATH if possible by adding |
| 5964 | correct ld flags. Currently, Solaris and NetBSD get the correct |
| 5965 | -R $archlibexp/CORE, and Linux gets its |
| 5966 | -Wl,-rpath,$archlibexp/CORE flag. Other contributions are |
| 5967 | welcome. |

| 6115 | |
| 6116 | I have tried to avoid copying of hash keys that are passed to |
| 6117 | magical hashes, but it seems that copying may be unavoidable |
| 6118 | since the hv_*_ent() functions could be PADTMPs (and other |
| 6119 | SVs that may get reused) as keys. |

| 6157 | somewhere else in the script and be hard to track down. It is |
| 6158 | a failure if perl can't open AnyDBM_File. The test regression |

| 6195 | Subject: Cwd::fastcwd in File::Find |
| 6196 | |
| 6197 | Is there a good reason why File::Find uses Cwd::fastcwd instead of |

| 6202 | |
| 6203 | There was a mistake in the sqrt routine in lib/Math/Complex.pm that |
| 6204 | gave wrong answers when the magnitude of the imaginary part of the |
| 6205 | argument exceeded the magnitude of the real part. Line 69 had too |
| 6206 | many sqrt($y)'s. Further, expressions were re-arranged so that |
| 6207 | calls to the expensive real sqrt() routine were reduced from 4 to 2 |
| 6208 | in this case. |

| 6219 | Subject: syslog.pl `use Socket' lossage |
| 6220 | |
| 6221 | syslog.pl tries but fails to use |
| 6222 | Socket.pm, the problem is that use doesn't return a true value. This |
| 6223 | module should be recast in terms of Sys::Syslog, of course. |

| 6232 | Ok, here's a tested patch for the debugger problem. |
| 6233 | I was missing the fact that DB::dbline magic is actually |
| 6234 | uppercase (which means hv_store_ent() etc., will pass SV keys |
| 6235 | to the vtbl_dbline handlers). |
| 6236 | |
| 6237 | Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with |
| 6238 | the simple MgPVKEY macro. |
| 6239 | |
| 6240 | Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add |
| 6241 | additional parens around the "mg". |

| 6448 | With my setup, the alarm signal arrives *before* the child |

| 6506 | unless this file exists (outside of VMS, I'm afraid to make an error |
| 6507 | there). - Useful with -x option, when the file may be eaten via -I |
| 6508 | inside -F. |
| 6509 | c) .h file would be scanned only if needed. |
| 6510 | d) typemap would be generated (with T_PTROBJ). |

| 6512 | included into POD. |

| 6570 | Version 5.003_04 |
| 6571 | ---------------- |
| 6572 | |
| 6573 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of |
| 6574 | the changes made in 5.003_03. The details are described below. |
| 6575 | A very brief summary is: |
| 6576 | |
| 6577 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 6578 | |
| 6579 | -Allow and document permissions for FileHandle::new and |
| 6580 | IO::File::new. |
| 6581 | -glob in Safe compartment used to allow shell access; now |
| 6582 | it's in the same category as `` and system(). |
| 6583 | |
| 6584 | o Configure and build enhancements |
| 6585 | |
| 6586 | -perl library name is again -lperl, not -lperl5 in some cases. |
| 6587 | -Several hint files no longer set -g -DDEBUGGING by default. |
| 6588 | Instead, they just turn off optimization, since that is |
| 6589 | probably what was intended. |
| 6590 | -Include OS/2 and Plan9 updates. |
| 6591 | |
| 6592 | o Bug fixes |
| 6593 | |
| 6594 | -SEGV with $_[0] and circular references fixed. |
| 6595 | -Ilya's debugger patch. |
| 6596 | -FAKE typeglobs fixed. |
| 6597 | -truncate with file name now works. |
| 6598 | -lval substr() no longer coredumps with refs |
| 6599 | -lval substr now clears lexicals in re-entered scopes. |
| 6600 | -core dump in caller() for signal handler for __DIE__. |
| 6601 | |
| 6602 | o Specific Changes |
| 6603 | |
| 6604 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |

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

| 7010 | Subject: Track SVs for destruction when -DPURIFY |
| 7011 | |
| 7012 | When checking for memory leaks, I compiled Perl with "-DPURIFY". |
| 7013 | Although that flag improves the leak checking, it also breaks |
| 7014 | destruction of global objects, because SVs aren't kept in captive |
| 7015 | arenas any more. |
| 7016 | |
| 7017 | This patch rectifies the problem by providing an alternative |

| 7019 | It has no effect on normal operation. |

| 7117 | |
| 7118 | o Bug fixes |
| 7119 | |
| 7120 | -Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes. |
| 7121 | |
| 7122 | -If a regex supplied to split() contains paranthesized subpatterns |
| 7123 | that can result in null matches, perl no longer coredumps. |
| 7124 | |
| 7125 | -Fix problems with each() on tied hashes. |

| 7147 | # here rather than in the appropriate subdirectories. |
| 7148 | rm -f os2/README |
| 7149 | |

| 7163 | |
| 7164 | This is patch perl5.003_03.pat to perl version 5.003_02. |
| 7165 | This takes you from 5.003_02 to 5.003_03. |
| 7166 | |
| 7167 | To apply this patch, run the above commands, |
| 7168 | cd to your perl source directory and then type |
| 7169 | |
| 7170 | patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_03.pat |
| 7171 | |
| 7172 | The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is |
| 7173 | designed so you can examine each change with a command such as |
| 7174 | |
| 7175 | csplit -k perl5.003_03.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}' |
| 7176 | |
| 7177 | Patch and enjoy, |

| 7182 | |
| 7183 | Index: Changes |
| 7184 | |
| 7185 | Include 5.003_03 change notes. |
| 7186 | |
| 7187 | Move older change notes to separate files. |
| 7188 | |
| 7189 | Index: Changes5.000 |
| 7190 | |
| 7191 | New file. Changes from perl4.036 to 5.000. |
| 7192 | |
| 7193 | Index: Changes5.001 |
| 7194 | |
| 7195 | New file. Changes from 5.000 to 5.001 |
| 7196 | |
| 7197 | Index: Changes5.002 |
| 7198 | |
| 7199 | New file. Changes from 5.001 to 5.002 |
| 7200 | |
| 7201 | Index: Changes5.003 |
| 7202 | |
| 7203 | New file. Changes from 5.002 to 5.003 |
| 7204 | |
| 7205 | Index: Configure |
| 7206 | |
| 7207 | Relaxed warning about ksh on exotic machines. |
| 7208 | |
| 7209 | Changed usesafe to useopcode. |
| 7210 | |
| 7211 | Add search for gzip and zip. |
| 7212 | |
| 7213 | Look more carefully for $sh (the Bourne-ish shell). |
| 7214 | Use that info to set $startsh correctly. |
| 7215 | |
| 7216 | Change prompts for PerlIO interface. See INSTALL |
| 7217 | for how this is supposed to work. The default is |
| 7218 | still the same as in 5.003_02, namely don't use |
| 7219 | any fancy new PerlIO stuff. |
| 7220 | |
| 7221 | Don't look for sigvec() since we don't actually use it. |
| 7222 | (Plus, it used to print an alarming misleading message about |
| 7223 | race conditions.) |
| 7224 | |
| 7225 | Look for stdio's _filbuf under the possible names of |
| 7226 | _filbuf, __filbuf, and _fill. |
| 7227 | |
| 7228 | New $useshrplib variable to control whether we build a shared |
| 7229 | libperl.so. The name of the library is in $libperl. |
| 7230 | Always install it in $installarchlib/CORE/$libperl. |
| 7231 | |
| 7232 | Check for <sys/resource.h> and <sys/wait.h> for NetBSD. |
| 7233 | |
| 7234 | Replace old $altmake stuff with newer autoconf-ish |
| 7235 | $make_set_make, which checks if $make sets $(MAKE). Now you |
| 7236 | choose an alternate make with sh Configure -Dmake=gmake (or |
| 7237 | whatever). |
| 7238 | |
| 7239 | Remove 'ln' for the list of essential commands. Simulate |
| 7240 | it with 'cp' if necessary. |
| 7241 | |
| 7242 | Change `logname` prompts to handle extra gratuitous spaces in |
| 7243 | Ultrix output. |
| 7244 | |
| 7245 | Autodetect os2. |
| 7246 | |
| 7247 | Fix silly bug in checking for fully-qualified names in /etc/hosts. |
| 7248 | |
| 7249 | Generalize Gconvert tests. Give correct and more useful |
| 7250 | error messages. |
| 7251 | |
| 7252 | Use $obj_ext instead of literal '.o' in the dynaloader test. |
| 7253 | |
| 7254 | Include appropriate header files in bcopy() and memcpy() |
| 7255 | tests. Note whether memmove is available. |
| 7256 | |
| 7257 | Check whether struct sigaction works (needed for Solaris 2.5 |
| 7258 | with -Xc). |
| 7259 | |
| 7260 | Include appropriate header files for randbits test. |
| 7261 | |
| 7262 | Index: INSTALL |
| 7263 | |
| 7264 | Add note about space requirements. |
| 7265 | |
| 7266 | Update to match Configure changes (Opcode vs. Safe, |
| 7267 | useperlio, useshrplib, etc.) |
| 7268 | |
| 7269 | Reorganize the structure of some of the hints. |
| 7270 | |
| 7271 | Miscellaneous clarifications. |
| 7272 | |
| 7273 | Index: MANIFEST |
| 7274 | |
| 7275 | Updated. 5.003_02 introduced some massive patches, mostly |
| 7276 | due to spacing changes. I didn't bother to sort them all out; |
| 7277 | I just started with 5.003's MANIEFST. |
| 7278 | |
| 7279 | Index: Makefile.SH |
| 7280 | |
| 7281 | Support the new simplified shared libperl mechanism. |
| 7282 | |
| 7283 | Use new $make_set_make directive. |
| 7284 | |
| 7285 | Remove redundant libperl Make variable. |
| 7286 | |
| 7287 | Remove unnecessary MAB variable. |
| 7288 | |
| 7289 | Remove dependency of minitest on lib/Config.pm, since it could |
| 7290 | well have been a failure of configpm that inspired testing |
| 7291 | miniperl in the first place! |
| 7292 | |
| 7293 | Index: Porting/Glossary |
| 7294 | |
| 7295 | New file describing all the config.sh variables. |
| 7296 | Eventually, I hope to fill this directory with other useful |
| 7297 | stuff. |
| 7298 | |
| 7299 | Index: README.os2 |
| 7300 | |
| 7301 | Replace old README.os2 with more up-to-date os2/README. |
| 7302 | |
| 7303 | Index: config_H |
| 7304 | |
| 7305 | Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH. |
| 7306 | Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new |
| 7307 | dependencies in the metaconfig units. |
| 7308 | |
| 7309 | Index: config_h.SH |
| 7310 | |
| 7311 | Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH. |
| 7312 | Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new |
| 7313 | dependencies in the metaconfig units. |
| 7314 | |
| 7315 | Include full descriptions of ARCHLIB, OLDARCHLIB, PRIVLIB, |
| 7316 | SITEARCH, and SITELIB. Previous versions just included the |
| 7317 | ~-expanded names (with unhelpful descriptions). No functionality |
| 7318 | is changed, but maybe it's a little better documented now. |
| 7319 | |
| 7320 | Index: doio.c |
| 7321 | |
| 7322 | Possibly Include <signal.h> and <unistd.h> |
| 7323 | |
| 7324 | Index: doop.c |
| 7325 | |
| 7326 | No longer prefer bcmp over memcmp when order doesn't matter. |
| 7327 | |
| 7328 | Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes. |
| 7329 | |
| 7330 | Index: embed.h |
| 7331 | |
| 7332 | Auto-generated. |
| 7333 | |
| 7334 | Index: embed.pl |
| 7335 | |
| 7336 | Expand warning at the top. |
| 7337 | |
| 7338 | Index: ext/IO/IO.pm |
| 7339 | |
| 7340 | Clean up docmentation installation errors. |
| 7341 | |
| 7342 | Index: ext/IO/lib/IO/Seekable.pm |
| 7343 | |
| 7344 | Clean up docmentation installation errors. |
| 7345 | |
| 7346 | Index: ext/IO/lib/IO/Select.pm |
| 7347 | |
| 7348 | Clean up docmentation installation errors. |
| 7349 | |
| 7350 | Index: ext/Opcode/Opcode.xs |
| 7351 | |
| 7352 | Add support for tied filehandles. |
| 7353 | |
| 7354 | Index: ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/sdbm.h |
| 7355 | |
| 7356 | Change the Mymalloc to match Perl_malloc in perl.h. |
| 7357 | |
| 7358 | Index: ext/util/make_ext |
| 7359 | |
| 7360 | Typo change. |
| 7361 | Get rid of unused altmake. |
| 7362 | |
| 7363 | Index: global.sym |
| 7364 | |
| 7365 | Fix problems with each() on tied hashes. |
| 7366 | |
| 7367 | Index: handy.h |
| 7368 | |
| 7369 | Change safe*alloc functions to have prototypes that |
| 7370 | match the system's malloc and free types. That is, use |
| 7371 | Malloc_t instead of char *, and Free_t instead of void. |
| 7372 | This is necessary so . . . |
| 7373 | |
| 7374 | Safefree cast matches type of free() whether it's perl's |
| 7375 | malloc/free or the system's malloc/free. |
| 7376 | |
| 7377 | Index: hints/README.hints |
| 7378 | |
| 7379 | Remove out-of-date info. |
| 7380 | |
| 7381 | Document a bit about how hint files work. |
| 7382 | |
| 7383 | Index: hints/aix.sh |
| 7384 | |
| 7385 | qmaxmem hint doesn't apply to gcc. |
| 7386 | |
| 7387 | Index: hints/dgux.sh |
| 7388 | |
| 7389 | Configure will now automatically detect shared libperl stuff. |
| 7390 | |
| 7391 | Index: hints/dynixptx.sh |
| 7392 | |
| 7393 | Fix typo in comment. |
| 7394 | |
| 7395 | Configure will now automatically detect shared libperl stuff. |
| 7396 | |
| 7397 | Index: hints/epix.sh |
| 7398 | |
| 7399 | Use glibpth instead of libpth. This allows Configure to |
| 7400 | add local directories, such as /opt/local/lib, etc. |
| 7401 | |
| 7402 | Index: hints/irix_6_2.sh |
| 7403 | |
| 7404 | Include some info on cc -n32 compile. |
| 7405 | |
| 7406 | Index: hints/linux.sh |
| 7407 | |
| 7408 | Configure now tests gcvt() more thoroughly. |
| 7409 | |
| 7410 | Index: hints/machten_2.sh |
| 7411 | |
| 7412 | Update where to find dld. |
| 7413 | |
| 7414 | Index: hints/mips.sh |
| 7415 | |
| 7416 | Use glibpth instead of libpth. |
| 7417 | |
| 7418 | Index: hints/next_3.sh |
| 7419 | |
| 7420 | Build up $mab dynamically. Since $mab isn't used anywhere |
| 7421 | anymore, this is useless. However, $mab was never used for |
| 7422 | next_3.sh anyway, so there's been no change in functionality. |
| 7423 | |
| 7424 | Index: hints/next_4.sh |
| 7425 | |
| 7426 | Get rid of extraneous isnext_4 variable. Configure and |
| 7427 | Makefile.SH will use $osname and $osvers instead. |
| 7428 | |
| 7429 | Build up $mab dynamically based on available architectures. |
| 7430 | |
| 7431 | Absorb $mab into ccflags and ccdlflags. I hope that will |
| 7432 | cover everything. (Configure should automatically remove |
| 7433 | the -arch stuff from cppflags.) |
| 7434 | |
| 7435 | Configure now knows next4 needs to use a shared libperl.5.so. |
| 7436 | |
| 7437 | Allow users to use -Dprefix. |
| 7438 | |
| 7439 | Index: hints/os2.sh |
| 7440 | |
| 7441 | Try to update to reflect newer shared libperl stuff. |
| 7442 | I probably goofed :-). |
| 7443 | |
| 7444 | Index: hints/sco.sh |
| 7445 | |
| 7446 | Additional notes on using icc. |
| 7447 | |
| 7448 | Additional flags for dynamic loading. |
| 7449 | |
| 7450 | Index: hints/solaris_2.sh |
| 7451 | |
| 7452 | Perl.h no longer prefers bcmp, so it's again ok if Configure |
| 7453 | finds them, since perl will prefer the mem* versions anyway. |
| 7454 | |
| 7455 | Index: hints/sunos_4_0.sh |
| 7456 | |
| 7457 | Don't include <unistd.h> |
| 7458 | |
| 7459 | Index: hints/sunos_4_1.sh |
| 7460 | |
| 7461 | Add brief note about GNU as and ld. |
| 7462 | |
| 7463 | Don't include <unistd.h> |
| 7464 | |
| 7465 | Add notes about WHOA THERE messages. |
| 7466 | |
| 7467 | Index: hints/titanos.sh |
| 7468 | |
| 7469 | Include sfio in libswanted. |
| 7470 | |
| 7471 | Don't set libpth any more. |
| 7472 | |
| 7473 | Index: hints/umips.sh |
| 7474 | |
| 7475 | New hint file. |
| 7476 | |
| 7477 | Index: hv.c |
| 7478 | |
| 7479 | Use memcmp even in cases where ordering doesn't matter. |
| 7480 | |
| 7481 | Fix problems with each() on tied hashes. |
| 7482 | |
| 7483 | Index: installperl |
| 7484 | |
| 7485 | Simplify installation of shared libperl.so. |
| 7486 | |
| 7487 | Avoid reaching Command Failed!!! with /usr/bin/perl. |
| 7488 | |
| 7489 | Index: lib/AutoSplit.pm |
| 7490 | |
| 7491 | Clean up docmentation installation errors. |
| 7492 | |
| 7493 | Index: lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm |
| 7494 | |
| 7495 | Remove MAB references. |
| 7496 | |
| 7497 | Use 'useshrplib' instead of 'd_shrplib' |
| 7498 | |
| 7499 | Index: lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm |
| 7500 | |
| 7501 | Remove mab references. |
| 7502 | |
| 7503 | Index: lib/FindBin.pm |
| 7504 | |
| 7505 | Clean up docmentation installation errors. |
| 7506 | |
| 7507 | Index: lib/Symbol.pm |
| 7508 | |
| 7509 | Put back in the BEGIN { require 5.002; }. The version in |
| 7510 | 5.003_02 wouldn't work in 5.002 anyway. Further, the whole |
| 7511 | point of the construct is to catch 5.001m, so we can't use |
| 7512 | syntax introduced after 5.001m to do that. |
| 7513 | |
| 7514 | Index: lib/Text/Wrap.pm |
| 7515 | |
| 7516 | Remove double 'use strict'. |
| 7517 | |
| 7518 | Index: lib/perl5db.pl |
| 7519 | |
| 7520 | Add explicit '&' to avoid warnings under strict refs. |
| 7521 | |
| 7522 | Index: lib/sigtrap.pm |
| 7523 | |
| 7524 | Clean up docmentation installation errors. |
| 7525 | |
| 7526 | Index: makedepend.SH |
| 7527 | |
| 7528 | Use Configure's $sh and $make_set_make variables. |
| 7529 | |
| 7530 | Index: mg.c |
| 7531 | |
| 7532 | Include <unistd.h> |
| 7533 | |
| 7534 | Use Safefree() macro instead of safefree() function with |
| 7535 | a (possibly) incorrect cast. The whole point of the |
| 7536 | Safefree() macro is that it does the correct cast for you. |
| 7537 | |
| 7538 | |
| 7539 | Index: patchlevel.h |
| 7540 | |
| 7541 | Change to SUBVERSION 3. |
| 7542 | |
| 7543 | Index: perl.c |
| 7544 | |
| 7545 | Include <unistd.h> |
| 7546 | |
| 7547 | Index: perl.h |
| 7548 | |
| 7549 | No longer prefer bcmp slightly for comparisons that don't care |
| 7550 | about ordering. |
| 7551 | |
| 7552 | Rely on Configure setting SH_PATH. |
| 7553 | |
| 7554 | Change the function name to Pause() instead of pause() to |
| 7555 | avoid potential prototype problems. (This naming convention |
| 7556 | is similar to the Fwrite and Fflush macros.) |
| 7557 | |
| 7558 | Fix problems with each() on tied hashes. |
| 7559 | |
| 7560 | Work around crypt prototype problem on NeXT. |
| 7561 | |
| 7562 | Index: perlio.c |
| 7563 | |
| 7564 | Fixes to support non-std stdio. |
| 7565 | |
| 7566 | Index: perlio.h |
| 7567 | |
| 7568 | Try to document the various #defines a bit. This is far from |
| 7569 | finished. |
| 7570 | |
| 7571 | Remove a lot of trailing whitespace. (It's of no consequence, but |
| 7572 | but I'm not going to redo the patch just to put back in the trailing |
| 7573 | whitespace either.) |
| 7574 | |
| 7575 | Index: perlsdio.h |
| 7576 | |
| 7577 | Fixes to support non-std stdio. |
| 7578 | |

| 7634 | that can result in null matches, perl coredumps. |

| 7718 | ---------------- |
| 7719 | Version 5.003_02 |
| 7720 | ---------------- |
| 7721 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 7722 | - Redefining constant subs, or changing sub's prototype now give warnings. |
| 7723 | - Fixes for ++/-- of values close to max/min size of an integer |
| 7724 | - Warning for un-qualified bareword as handler in $SIG{}. |
| 7725 | - UNIVERSAL::isa can now be called as static method. |
| 7726 | |
| 7727 | o Changes in Core Internals |
| 7728 | - PerlIO abstraction added. |
| 7729 | Perl core and standard extensions no longer assume ANSI C's stdio is IO |
| 7730 | mechanism, Default Configure mode is still to use stdio via set of C macros. |
| 7731 | Alternate modes are to use stdio via one perlio.c module, or |
| 7732 | to use sfio if available. |
| 7733 | |
| 7734 | - Several bug fixs from perl5-porters |
| 7735 | - Make sources non-ANSI C correct again. |
| 7736 | - SUPER in gv.c |
| 7737 | - Last of shared-hash-key patches |
| 7738 | - eval '(0,1..3)'; # --> SegFault |
| 7739 | - coredumps after simple subsitutes. |
| 7740 | - Correction to UNIVERSAL::VERSION docs. |
| 7741 | - Fixed io_udp test. |
| 7742 | - Fixed another abuse of malloc'ed memory. |
| 7743 | - Enabled DEBUGING_MSTATS whenever perl's malloc() is used. |
| 7744 | - Reverted to default of not hiding perl's malloc (if used). |
| 7745 | |
| 7746 | o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities |
| 7747 | - Fixed MakeMaker for static SDBM and builing in a link tree. |
| 7748 | - Upgraded to IO-1.09, and includes latest (still experimental) IO::Select. |
| 7749 | - Documentation/test tweak to DB_File |
| 7750 | - h2xs upgrade to allow use C::Scan module |
| 7751 | |
| 7752 | o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support |
| 7753 | - Attempted to re-created 5.003_01's NeXT support with metaconfig units. |
| 7754 | - Updated MANIFEST |
| 7755 | - make minitest now depends on lib/Config.pm, as some of tests require it. |
| 7756 | - Included latest plan9 sub-directory |
| 7757 | - Applied OS/2 patches. |
| 7758 | - Typo patch for VMS. |
| 7759 | |
| 7760 | ---------------- |
| 7761 | Version 5.003_01 |
| 7762 | ---------------- |
| 7763 | |
| 7764 | Version 5.003_01 contains bugfixes and additions accumulated since |
| 7765 | version 5.002_01, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately |
| 7766 | kept simple. In addition to numerous small bugfixes in the core, |
| 7767 | library files, and documentation, this patch contains several |
| 7768 | significant revisions, summarized below: |
| 7769 | |
| 7770 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 7771 | |
| 7772 | - A port to Plan9 has been started, and changes are integrated into |
| 7773 | the standard distribution. As of this release, the Perl core |
| 7774 | and several common extensions are working. |
| 7775 | |
| 7776 | - A set of basic methods in the UNIVERSAL class have been added to |
| 7777 | the Perl core. Since UNIVERSAL is an implicit member of every |
| 7778 | class's @ISA, the methods can be called via any object. |
| 7779 | |
| 7780 | - A mandatory warning has been added for 'declarations' of lexical |
| 7781 | variables using the "my" operator which mask an existing lexical |
| 7782 | variable declared in the same scope, making the previous variable |
| 7783 | inaccessible by its name. |
| 7784 | |
| 7785 | - The "use" and "require" operators have been extended to allow |
| 7786 | checking of the required module's version. The "use" operator |
| 7787 | can now be used for an immediate version check of Perl itself. |
| 7788 | |
| 7789 | - A new "strict" pragma, "strict untie", has been added, which |
| 7790 | produces an error if a tied value is untied when other references |
| 7791 | exist to the internal object implementing the tie. |
| 7792 | |
| 7793 | - Barewords used as associative array keys (i.e. when specifying |
| 7794 | an associative array element like $foo{__BAR} or on the left |
| 7795 | side of the => operator) may now begin with an underscore as |
| 7796 | well as an alphabetic character. |
| 7797 | |
| 7798 | - Some of the configuration information previously produced by the |
| 7799 | -v switch has been moved to the -V switch, in order to keep -v |
| 7800 | output concise. |
| 7801 | |
| 7802 | o Changes in Core Internals |
| 7803 | |
| 7804 | - Symbol table and method lookups have been made faster. |
| 7805 | |
| 7806 | - Perl subroutines which just return a constant value are now |
| 7807 | optimized at compile time into inline constants. |
| 7808 | |
| 7809 | - Management of keys for associative arrays has been improved to |
| 7810 | conserve space when the same keys are reused frequently, and |
| 7811 | to pass true Perl values to tie functions, instead of stringified |
| 7812 | representations. |
| 7813 | |
| 7814 | - Messages normally output to stderr may be directed to another |
| 7815 | stream when Perl is built. This allows some platforms to |
| 7816 | present diagnostic output in a separate window from normal |
| 7817 | program results. |
| 7818 | |
| 7819 | - A bug which caused suiperl to fail silently, albeit securely, |
| 7820 | in version 5.003 on some systems has been fixed. |
| 7821 | |
| 7822 | - Management of Unix-style signal handlers via the %SIG associative |
| 7823 | array has been made safer. |
| 7824 | |
| 7825 | - Several global C symbols have been renamed to eliminate collisions |
| 7826 | with system C header files or libraries on some platforms. |
| 7827 | Unfortunately, this means that dynamic extensions compiled under |
| 7828 | previous versions of Perl will need to be rebuilt for Perl |
| 7829 | 5.003_01. We're in the process of cleaning up Perl's C |
| 7830 | namespace to make it easier to link Perl with other binaries, |
| 7831 | so this will probably happen again between now and version 5.004. |
| 7832 | After that, we'll do our best to maintain binary compatibility |
| 7833 | between versions. |
| 7834 | |
| 7835 | - An alternate allocation strategy has been added to Perl's |
| 7836 | optional private memory management routines. This strategy, |
| 7837 | which may be selected when Perl is built, is designed to |
| 7838 | conserve memory in programs which allocate many small |
| 7839 | chunks of memory with sizes near a power of 2, as is often |
| 7840 | the case in Perl programs. |
| 7841 | |
| 7842 | - Several memory leaks in the creation and destruction of |
| 7843 | multiple interpreters have been fixed. |
| 7844 | |
| 7845 | o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities |
| 7846 | |
| 7847 | - The Opcode extension, which allows you to control a program's |
| 7848 | access to Perl operations, has been added to the standard |
| 7849 | distribution. This extends the work begun in the original |
| 7850 | Safe extension, and subsumes it. The Safe interface is still |
| 7851 | available. |
| 7852 | |
| 7853 | - The IO extension, which provides a set of classes for object- |
| 7854 | oriented handling of common I/O tasks, has been added to the |
| 7855 | standard distribution. The IO classes will form the basis |
| 7856 | for future development of Perl's I/O interface, and will |
| 7857 | subsume the FileHandle class in the near future. The default |
| 7858 | class to which all Perl I/O handles belong is now IO::Handle, |
| 7859 | rather than FileHandle. |
| 7860 | |
| 7861 | - The ExtUtils::Embed library module, which provides a set |
| 7862 | of utility function to help in embedding Perl in other |
| 7863 | applications, has been added to the standard distribution. |
| 7864 | |
| 7865 | - The Fatal library module, which provides a simple interface |
| 7866 | for creating "do-or-die" equivalents of existing functions, |
| 7867 | has been added to the standard distribution. |
| 7868 | |
| 7869 | - The FindBin library module, which determines the full path |
| 7870 | to the currently executing program, has been added to the |
| 7871 | standard distribution. |
| 7872 | |
| 7873 | - The DB_File extension, and the Getopt::Long, Test::Harness, |
| 7874 | Text::Tabs, Text::Wrap, Time::Local and sigtrap library modules |
| 7875 | have been updated to the authors' latest versions. |
| 7876 | |
| 7877 | - The Carp library module now considers the @ISA chain when |
| 7878 | determining the caller's package for inclusion in error messages. |
| 7879 | |
| 7880 | - The h2xs, perlbug, and xsubpp utilities have been updated. |
| 7881 | |
| 7882 | - The standard Perl debugger has been updated, and the information |
| 7883 | provided to the debugger when an XSUB is called has been improved, |
| 7884 | making it possible for alternate debuggers (such as Devel::DProf) |
| 7885 | to do a better job of tracking XSUB calls. |
| 7886 | |
| 7887 | - The pod documentation formatting tools in the standard distribution |
| 7888 | can now handle characters in the input stream whose high bit is set. |
| 7889 | |
| 7890 | - The cperl-mode EMACS editing mode has been updated. |
| 7891 | |
| 7892 | o Changes in Documentation |
| 7893 | |
| 7894 | - Typographic and formatting errors have been corrected in the pod |
| 7895 | documentation for the core and standard library files |
| 7896 | |
| 7897 | - Explanations of several core operators have been improved |
| 7898 | |
| 7899 | - The perldebug, perlembed, perlipc, perlsec, and perltrap documents |
| 7900 | extensively revised. |
| 7901 | |
| 7902 | o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support |
| 7903 | |
| 7904 | - Support for the NeXT platform has been extended through |
| 7905 | NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP 4.0, and now includes the ability to create MABs. |
| 7906 | |
| 7907 | - Support for OS/2 has been extended as well, and now includes |
| 7908 | options for building a.out binaries. |
| 7909 | |
| 7910 | - Support for VMS has also been extended, incorporating improved |
| 7911 | processing of file specification strings, optional suppression of |
| 7912 | carriage control interpretation for record-structured files, |
| 7913 | improved support for the -S command line switch, a number of |
| 7914 | VMS-specific bugfixes, and significantly improved performance |
| 7915 | in line-oriented reading of files. |
| 7916 | |
| 7917 | - Several hints files have been added or updated: aux.sh (updated), |
| 7918 | convexos.sh (updated), irix_4.sh (updated), irix_5.sh (updated), |
| 7919 | irix_6_2.sh (updated), next_3.sh (updated), next_3_2.sh (new), |
| 7920 | next_3_3.sh (new), next_4.sh (new), os2/sh (updated), |
| 7921 | sco.sh (updated), and solaris_2.sh (updated). |
| 7922 | |
| 7923 | - The test driver for the regression tests now reports when a set |
| 7924 | of tests have been skipped (presumable because the operation |
| 7925 | they're designed to test isn't supported on the current system). |
