- [[ Doc Changes ]]
- - Expanding Known Good list
- - Adding Known Programs to README
-
- 5.51_01 Mon Mar 18 01:37:02 EST 2002
- [[ API Changes ]]
- - Removing xsubpp and typemap from the distribution. These are not
- Perl version independent files and should not be upgraded.
- - Removing ExtUtils::Embed. Version specific module and should
- not be updated.
- - Removing ExtUtils::Constant. Not directly tied to MakeMaker.
- Will be distributed seperately by Nick Clark.
-
- [[ New Features ]]
- * realclean now deletes 'dist' directory.
-
- [[ Bug Fixes ]]
- * Fixing ExtUtils::Installed for VMS

- of the tests from running.
- - Fixing VMS so 'mmk' is always 'mmk all' (bleadperl 15218)
- - ExtUtils::MM_Any->catfile was calling catdir
- - Added Ken William's "speed up ExtUtils::Manifest" patch.
- - Added Nick Clark's return value of manifest routines patch
- (bleadperl@14978)
- - Merging in bleadperl changes (14438, 14453, 14611, 14612, 14622,
- 14655, 14677, 14688, 14902, 15023, 15187, 15367)
- - bleadperl change 15325 (VMS 'mmk all' hack) rejected.
- - ExtUtils::MM_Any->test_via_harness() now using -MExtUtils::testlib
- instead of -I's. This keeps the command line shorter on VMS, but
- it means TEST_LIB doesn't work anymore. May prove problematic.
- - PERLRUN now uses FULLPERL instead of PERL. This avoids
- accidental use of miniperl. May cause problems in the core.
- - Fixed test_via_harness() on VMS so it uses PERLRUN.
- - ExtUtils::Manifest wrongly handling MANIFEST on VMS.
- - ExtUtils::Manifest::maniskip broken due to misuse of /o on a regex.
-
- 5.50_01 Mon Mar 4 23:44:48 EST 2002

- added sometime in the future (read: send a patch).
- - Deprecated ROOTEXT variable removed (its been deprecated for
- more than five years).
- - Removed ExtUtils::Miniperl from the CPAN distribution. Can't
- see how its useful outside the core.
-
- [[ New Features ]]
- * Emacs backup files (ie. *~) are no longer copied into blib
- (this means you won't get Foo.pm~ accidentally installed anymore).
- - prefixify() now returns if the prefixification worked or not.
- - added the Perl patchlevel info to the description embedded in DLLs
- (Ilya Zakharevich perl change 14810)
-
- [[ Bug Fixes ]]
- * 5.49_01 broke anything that depended on the MM class to be loaded
- with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, like CPAN. Temporarily fixed.
- * Many places wrongfully assume MM methods can be called as class
- methods! Inside and outside of MakeMaker.
- * DOS now acts like Win32 instead of Unix. This should be less wrong.
- - Netware tweak from Ananth Kesari (perl change 14780)
-
- [[ Doc Changes ]]
- * made the docs about the behavior of PREFIX a bit more vague
- reflecting its odd behavior.
- - Replaced references to %Config with things people are more likely
- to understand in PREFIX & LIB docs.

- - Added a dist() override to MM_OS2.
- - Took the OS/2 specific code out of MM_Unix's dist()

- chdir without breaking @INC.

- - LLIBPERL was not being set.
- - Gisle Aas fixed a warning in prompt when the user hits ctrl-D
- or pipes STDIN to /dev/null.
- - VMS's test is now a proper ->can check.
- - Stray newline in Command.t causing havoc (bleadperl 14441)
-
- * Lots of internal changes. Everything from here on is an internal
- change.
- - Broke ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid out into its own .pm. Temporary.
- - Broke MM and MY out into their own .pm's. Possibly temporary.
- - Broke ExtUtils::MM_Win95 out of ExtUtils::MM_Win32. MM_Win95
- is now an MM_Win32 subclass.
- - Removed wrapper methods from ExtUtils::Liblist that were
- defering File::Spec loading. Almost everything uses File::Spec
- - Changed most of the 'our's to 'use vars' in prep for 5.005_03
- backporting
- - Changed ExtUtils::MakeMaker->import(...) cargo-cultery in MM_*
- modules to proper "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(...)"
- - All non-Unix MM_* modules now directly inherit from MM_Unix.
- They did this before, but in a round-about way.
- - MM_* modules no longer directly muck with @MM::ISA. Instead
- @MM::ISA does that itself.
- - Removed unnecessary require of Exporter in many MM_* modules.
- - MM_Cygwin was using an MM_Unix function directly without have
- explicitly required MM_Unix.
- - Most of MM_NW5 was redundant with MM_Win32. So MM_NW5 is now
- a subclass of Win32 and the reduendant code has been deleted.
- - Replaced lots of calls to File::Spec->updir, curdir and rootdir
- with a global in MM_Unix. Should make things a bit faster.
- - Untabified ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I hate tabs.
- - "Which MM subclass should I use" logic moved from EU::MakeMaker
- to EU::MM.
- - Deprecated EU::MakeMaker::Version_check deleted.
-
- 5.48_04 Mon Jan 21 19:28:38 EST 2002
- - No longer requiring Test::More
- - Now tested to work with a clean 5.6.1

-
- 5.48_03 Thu Jan 17 23:44:38 EST 2002

- work on Win32/5.6.1.
- * Bug on Win32. MAKEMAKER variable not set properly.
- * _02 broke hints files. Now fixed.
- - Minor prereq error formatting glitch
- - ExtUtils::testlib no longer a thin wrapper around blib, now a
- thin wrapper around lib like it was. blib is noisy on 5.6.1.
- - Nick and chromatic found and fixed some warnings in the tests
-
- 5.48_02 Wed Jan 16 19:11:26 EST 2002
- - Fixed some Win32 warnings. Needs more work.
-
- 5.48_01 Wed Jan 16 15:10:28 EST 2002
- * Adapted from bleadperl@14303
- * Backported to 5.6.1
- - inst and xsubpp moved out of lib/ and into bin/
- - ExtUtils::testlib obsoleted. Now a thin wrapper around blib.pm
- ***--> Non-Unix platforms not tested at all! Please test and report
- back. Tests probably only need minor fixes.
