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

+------------------
+ Version 5.003_19
+------------------
+
+Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory
+leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The
+method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test
+directory, "t/pragma".
+
+IMHO, this is Beta quality code.
+
+Here's a list of the more significant changes...

+------------------
+ Version 5.003_15
+------------------
+
+As soon as I posted 5.003_14, I found a fatal error in it. :-(
+
+This release is strictly a bug fix -- it removes some function caching
+changes that were supposed to be improvements, but weren't.
+
+
+------------------
+ Version 5.003_14
+------------------
+
+We seem to have achieved "release candidate" status.

+ CORE LANGUAGE CHANGES
+
+ Title: "Make C<no FOO> fail if C<unimport FOO> fails"
+ From: Tim Bunce
+ Files: gv.c

+ Title: "Defined scoping for C<my> in control structures"
+ (Finally defines semantics of "my" in control expressions,
+ like the condition of "if" and "while". In all cases, scope
+ of a "my" var extends to the end of the entire control
+ structure. Also adds new construct "for my", which
+ automatically declares the control variable "my" and limits
+ its scope to the loop.)

+
+ Title: "Fix ++/-- after int conversion (e.g. 'printf "%d"')"

+------------------
+ Version 5.003_07
+------------------
+
+This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed
+in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious
+testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004.
+
+If it doesn't work for you, try
+
+ LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
+
+for Bourne shell users, or
+
+ setenv LC_ALL C
+
+for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have
+problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests
+as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step.
+
+The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
+
+o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
+
+ -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for
+ documentation on the 'w' option.
+
+ -untaint support added to IO extension.
+
+o Changes in Core Internals
+
+ -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
+ as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
+ with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.)
+
+ -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4.
+
+o Configure and build enhancements
+
+ -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but
+ they may be right.
+
+ -OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
+
+o Bug fixes
+
+ -print sort (4,1,3,2);
+
+ -group numbers are integers again.
+
+ -other things. See the specific changes for details.
+
+o Specific Changes
+
+Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

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

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

+
+------------------
+ Version 5.003_06
+------------------
+
+This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation,
+and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003.
+The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
+
+o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
+
+ -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for
+ locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod.
+ Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
+
+ -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be
+ backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex.
+
+ -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size
+ %hash.
+
+ -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted.
+
+o Changes in Core Internals
+
+ -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03
+ versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented
+ as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and
+ gv_efullname3.
+
+ -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
+ as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
+ with 5.003.

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

+
+ I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
+ to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
+ I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
+ needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
+ hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
+
+ Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.

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

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

+
+ First, with IO::untaint, the patches as posted resulted in a

+ I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
+ to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
+ I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
+ needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
+ hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
+
+ Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.

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

+------------------
+ Version 5.003_05
+------------------
+
+This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
+the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below.
+A very brief summary is:
+
+o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
+
+ -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles.
+
+ -times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather
+ than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some
+ systems, but should be correct now.
+
+ -AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected)
+ Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
+ order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
+ the same.
+
+o Configure and build enhancements
+
+ -Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
+ BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
+ [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
+
+ -You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through
+ the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate
+ ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently
+ supported. Others are easy to add. (This makes like a lot easier
+ for embedders.)
+
+ -VMS updates.
+
+ -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only
+ prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
+
+o Bug fixes
+
+ -debugger ought to work.
+
+ -A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented
+ 5.003_04 from working most places.
+
+ -numerous smaller ones, detailed below.
+
+o Specific Changes
+
+Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
+
+# This is my patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl5.003_04
+# The full description is below.
+# Please execute the following commands before applying this patch.
+# (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.)
+# -- Andy Dougherty
+
+# We'll create a new test, but patch won't automatically make it
+# executable.
+touch t/io/read.t
+chmod +x t/io/read.t
+
+exit 0
+
+
+This is patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl version 5.003_04.
+This takes you from 5.003_04 to 5.003_05.
+
+To apply this patch, run the above commands,
+cd to your perl source directory and then type
+
+ patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat
+
+The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
+designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
+
+ csplit -k perl5.003_05.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'

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

+
+ From: Michael Mahan <mahanm@nextwork.rose-hulman.edu>
+ Subject: Cwd::fastcwd in File::Find
+
+ Is there a good reason why File::Find uses Cwd::fastcwd instead of
+ Cwd:cwd when fastcwd isn't as portable?
+ [In particular, fastcwd() doesn't work on AFS.]
+
+Index: lib/Math/Complex.pm
+
+ There was a mistake in the sqrt routine in lib/Math/Complex.pm that
+ gave wrong answers when the magnitude of the imaginary part of the
+ argument exceeded the magnitude of the real part. Line 69 had too
+ many sqrt($y)'s. Further, expressions were re-arranged so that
+ calls to the expensive real sqrt() routine were reduced from 4 to 2
+ in this case.

+ syslog.pl tries but fails to use
+ Socket.pm, the problem is that use doesn't return a true value. This
+ module should be recast in terms of Sys::Syslog, of course.

+Index: mg.c
+
+ Ok, here's a tested patch for the debugger problem.
+ I was missing the fact that DB::dbline magic is actually

+
+ Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with
+ the simple MgPVKEY macro.

+ Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add
+ additional parens around the "mg".

+ From: Chip Salzenberg
+ Subject: Integerize mg.c; eliminate warning on C< local($)) >

+ This patch converts magic variables ($!, $^E, etc.) to use integers
+ (C<sv_setiv>) instead of floats. It also eliminates a warning from
+ C< local($)) >, via a hack similar to $!.

+ io_sock.t works by forking a subprocess it can communicate with.
+ It has the subprocess wait for the main process by sleeping 10

+
+ With my setup, the alarm signal arrives *before* the child
+ has a chance to ignore the alarm signal.

+ I fixed this by moving the "$SIG{ALRM} = sub {};" up before the
+ fork. It does not hurt to have the parent ignore alarms, too.

+
+ Changes:
+ a) Docs and examples for -x updated;
+ b) Path to xxxx.h would not be changed to /usr/include/xxxx.h
+ unless this file exists (outside of VMS, I'm afraid to make an error
+ there). - Useful with -x option, when the file may be eaten via -I
+ inside -F.
+ c) .h file would be scanned only if needed.
+ d) typemap would be generated (with T_PTROBJ).
+ e) Documentation (=list) for autogenerated guys would be
+ included into POD.
+ f) duplicated XSUBs would not be generated;
+ g) arguments to XSUBs being arrays are recognized (note that
+ xsubpp would probably choke on such guys).
