| |
| * The CPAN::PERL5INC experiment didn't work and all related code was |

| Slaven Rezic) |
| |
| * add reset_tested() function to forget distributions previously tested |

| (David Golden) |
| |
| * address #34062: regain lost 'cpan .' command (reporter Slaven Rezic) |
| |
| * shut up "exited subroutine via last" warning in an expect loop |
| |
| * address #34102: wrong diagnostic message when no META.yml was there |

| |
| * release 1.92_57: getting closer to 1.93 |
| |

| Michael Schwern) |
| |
| * applied a patch from Randy Kobes to update index before a query when |
| CPAN::SQLite is active |
| |
| * added 'halt_on_failure' config option to halt queue processing after |
| the first failure rather than processing all remaining items |

| |
| * address #33505: allow empty passwords in the config and pass proxy |
| data through to curl (suggestions by kevinarpe) |
| |
| * new diagnostics when CPAN.pm is required a second time. Introduce a |
| sleep period when it is required several times because then a loop might |
| be the cause and this might provide a clue to the user. |
| |
| * address #32525: when running the 'r' command, try to display the |
| module name that is best suited for the distribution name (suggestion |
| and prove of concept implementation by imacat) |

| Schwern and Adam Kennedy and I'm sure this will need more iterations. |
| |
| * added 'trust_test_report_history' config option; when set, CPAN will |
| skip tests for a distribution and rely on test report results if a prior |
| test report is found; requires CPAN::Reporter 1.07_02 |
| |
| * protect against the infamous bug in Safe 2.13 that causes data |
| corruption and ugly error messages like unknown method version::("")) or |
| some such |

| buggy in itself. Fixing the fix and adding a test case. |
| |

| Still a lot to do for 1.89. |
| |

| CPAN::SQLite (pre-alpha; see Makefile.PL how to invoke) |
| |
| 2006-11-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.88_62 |
| |

| |
| * This release is dedicated to imacat. |
| |

| |
| 2006-11-02 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.88_59 |
| |
| * Note: the build_dir has got a major reworking with regard to how |
| individual directories below it are being named. The names are now |
| generated by File::Temp and contain a random part. This has the |
| advantage that concurring users of CPAN.pm cannot disturb each other and |
| the disadvantage that it is more difficult to identify which directory |
| contains which build environment. If YAML is installed, then each |
| directory is accompanied by a YAML file that stores a lot of state about |
| the directory. |
| |
| The filename of the YAML file is C<< <directoryname>.yml >> |
| |
| * This release represents work in progress: new features marked as alpha |
| below are still in flux and may change or be removed in the future. |
| |
| * Large chunk of documentation added about the many 'o conf' variants |
| (after a smart kick From Marc Lehmann) |
| |
| * fix a bug reported by Sujith Emmanuel to survive when urllist contains |
| illegal URLs |
| |
| * new bundle Bundle::CPANxxl with CPAN::Reporter, Module::Signature, |
| Expect, etc. |
| |
| * many new sample distroprefs files (alpha) |
| |
| * new keyword "disabled" in distroprefs (alpha) |
| |
| * sanitize the behaviour after an Expect.pm timeout (alpha) |
| |
| * make running concurrent batch jobs safe (alpha) |
| |
| * lock the shell more granular to let many CPAN shells coexist (alpha) |
| |
| * several small bugfixes to the persistent distro state feature |
| introduced in 1.88_58 (alpha) |
| |
| * very early incarnation of new install_tested command (alpha) |
| |
| 2006-10-28 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.88_58 |
| |
| * new config option build_dir_reuse for persistent distro state in |
| build_dir inspired by Ilya Zakharevich. (alpha!) |
| |
| * a few new and rewritten distropref files. |
| |
| * add distribution name to every OK/NOT OK; also inspired by Ilya. |
| |
| * bugfix on a rare bug related to the deletion of metadata after using a |
| pragma on a distribution. |
| |
| 2006-10-24 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.88_57 |
| |
| * address #22396: add a diagnostic warning at cleanup time when people |
| have changed their config but forgot to safe it (Tina Mueller, Alberto |
| Manuel Brandao Simoes). |
| |
| * workaround for a weird interaction with a dated version.pm in |
| a probably dated Module::Build and UNIVERSAL::VERSION. |
| |
| * document the config variables that are overridable via distroprefs. |
| |
| * add prefer_installer to the list of overridable config variables. |
| |
| * new and updated prefs files for DBI, Coro, etc. |
| |
| 2006-10-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.88_56 |
| |
| * add the ability to patch random distros both with local patches and |
| with patches from CPAN. Demo patches to UNIVERSAL::require, Expect, |
| Math::Pari, etc. are uploaded to my CPAN directory, corresponding YAML |
| files are in the distroprefs directory. Heavily inspired by an old patch |
| from Ilya Zakharevich. |
| |
| * fixes from Ilya Zakharevich to the PERL5LIB environment handling for |
| not yet installed modules from a 3 year old patch. |
| |
| * work around a Module::Build issue with Build.PL files that are |
| subclassing Module::Build like Error.pm and HTML::Mason. For now we fall |
| back to the META.yml file. Needs further discussion with Module::Build |
| people. |
| |
| * in the distroprefs system allow for YAML files with an arbitrary |
| number of sections. |
| |
| * document how to integrate local distribution directories into the CPAN |
| shell. See section 'Integrating local directories' in the manpage. |
| |
| * reporting of errors during unpacking is now integrated into the |
| report section at the end of each command and the 'failed' command. |
| |
| * applied a patch by smpeters to silence an unini warning (RT #22277). |
| |
| * address #20979: trailing backslashes in MyConfig variables with test |
| (Lars XXX via David Golden) |
| |
| 2006-10-16 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.88_55 |
| |
| * new command 'report' as requested by Schwern in #22118. |
| |
| * extend the Distribution object to local directories. Gives a meaning |
| to the 'cpan .' command. Suggested by Slaven Rezic. |
| |
| * removes the linux centric behaviour of t/30shell.t. |
| |
| * do not complain THAT often about uninstalled YAML or YAML::Syck; once |
| is per distro enough. |
| |
| 2006-10-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.88_54 |
| |
| * New option 'yaml_module' to switch between YAML.pm and YAML::Syck |
| Try 'o conf init /yaml/' to use it. |
| |
| * New distroprefs system that lets the user store arguments, environment |
| variables, individual answers to questions asked by Distributions when |
| being built, and config overrides. Try 'o conf init /prefs/' for more |
| information. |
| |
| * address #21144 major documentation bug: $obj->install is NOT the same |
| as CPAN::Shell->install($obj) as soon as a queue of dependencies comes |
| into play. |
| |
| * fix "o conf defaults" which was broken in 1.88_53. |
| |
| * protect us against Module::Build errors with an eval around the |
| requires() and build_requires() calls. |
| |
| 2006-10-09 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.88_53 |
| |
| * wrapping Module::Build calls into an eval to catch external errors |
| with the right consequences. |
| |
| * 'reload cpan' now based on timestamps and always jumps into a fresh |
| shell when needed. |
| |
| * display the version during loading of our own modules. |
| |
| * address #21692: make the "isa perl" case less noisy (Gabor Szabo) |
| |
| * new tests |
| |
| 2006-10-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.88_52 |
| |
| * now does the right thing with prereq "perl" |
| |
| * major speedup in parsing of index files |
| |
| * repair debugging aid to display the correct line number |
| |
| * fix bug introduced in _51 regarding Test::Harness version verification |
| |
| * fix old bug in CPAN::Version wrt installed developer versions |

| |
| * release 1.88_51 |
| |
| * dependencies declared as 'build_requires' are now treated according to |
| a new policy option: try 'o conf init build_requires_install_policy' for |
| more info. (Suggested/Requested by Johan Vromans) |
| |
| * fixed a bug where successful tests were repeated if things were not |
| being installed like during the 'test' command itself. |
| |
| * address #21724: document that the 'r' command takes arguments; support |
| the same arguments for the 'upgrade' command (Adam Kennedy) |
| |
| * address #21716: fix the broken 'recent' command (Phil Pennock) |
| |
| * fixed a rare but extremely unpleasant bug with deep recursion in |
| AUTOLOAD during the 'reload cpan' command. |
| |
| 2006-09-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.8801 |
| |
| * trivial bugfix: init dialog had a tweak that made it impossible to set |
| 'ncftp' when 'ncftpget' was installed and configured. |
| |
| 2006-09-21 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.88 |
| |
| * For detailed changes since 1.87 see the entries in the Changes file. |
| For finer grained change log see the ChangeLog.svn file. The highlights |
| of this release are: |
| |
| * convenient configuration: dialogs for individual items or groups of |
| items can be accessed with a single command (Courtesy Jim Cromie) |
| |
| * experimental support for CPAN::Reporter: try |
| o conf init /test/ |
| (Courtesy David Golden) |
| |
| * make installation of scripts easier: try something like |
| install SREZIC/pingomatic-1.012 |
| (Courtesy Slaven Rezic) |
| |
| * colored output for better separation of process output, messages from |
| CPAN and warnings from CPAN: to turn colorization on/off try |
| o conf init /color/ |
| |
| * formatting of lists of modules now features a column to indicate |
| installed and updateable modules |
| |
| * signature checking can now be turned on and off with 'o conf check_sigs' |
| |
| * new command 'upgrade' installs newest version of all installed modules |
| |
| * Please note a minor incompatibility: the init dialog now has reversed |
| semantics: it suggests automatic configuration that can be confirmed |
| with 'yes' instead of suggesting manual configuration that can be denied |
| with 'no'. |
| |
| 2006-09-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.87_65 |
| |
| * Hunting missing documentation with Test::Pod::Coverage because my |
| first try to use it started with a wrong copy&paste. |
| |
| * Forward compatibility: bzip2 via Archive::Tar not dying anymore |
| |
| 2006-09-16 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |

| |
| * regex in "o conf init MATCH" must now be enclosed in slashes as in all |
| other commands that allow regexes |
| |
| * again tested with 5.8.0, this time with an UTF8 locale and it did |
| indeed not pass the 30test: turning LANG=C now for the 30shell test, |
| unconditionally |
| |
| * all supported config variables now documented in the POD and added a |
| test to monitor changes in the future |
| |
| 2006-09-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.87_63 |

| |
| * release 1.87_62 |
| |
| * make term_ornaments switchable while running (was only checked during |
| initialization) |
| |

| the urllist dialog. (Address debian bug #380551) |
| |
| 2006-09-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.87_61 |
| |
| * configuation of urllist uses a local urllist instead of the global |
| configured one: prevents that ^C accidentally kills the currently |
| configured urllist |
| |
| * configuration of urllist: if there is already a previous pick, one can |
| go through the dialog with RETURN only |
| |
| * new options to get colored output: colorize_output, colorize_print, |
| colorize_warn |
| |
| 2006-09-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.87_59: "o conf init MATCH" finally works and can be used to |
| jump into the configuration dialog and select an arbitrary subset of |
| questions. |
| |

| rel2absing the INC (suggested by Slaven Rezic) |
| |
| 2006-08-31 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.87_58: work is still in progress to get "o conf init MATCH" |

| configuration can be confirmed with 'yes' instead of having to deny |
| manual configuration with 'no' |
| |
| * fix a bug reported by David Golden, that Bundle::CPAN is never |
| uptodate. Fixing it by special-casing readline.pm in the inst_file |
| method. See also #17963. |
| |
| * Address #18196 once again because people have still MakeMaker < 6.18 |
| installed. |
| |

| |

| |
| * release 1.87_53 |
| |
| * make *scripts* (as opposed to modules) installable when the path of |
| the distro is given: you can now 'install ANDK/keepcool-0.344' and it is |
| stored as 'keepcool' |
| |
| * the m command displays one column more: an equals sign if we have this |
| version installed, a less-than sign if our installed version of the |
| module is smaller and a space if we do not have this thing installed |
| |
| * fix #18438: weird dependency chain issue that broke |
| amavis/SpamAssassin |

| |
| * patch by Max Maischein to quote commands that contain spaces as is |

| |
| * do not display DSLIP_STATUS when it is empty; same thing for MANPAGE |
| |
| * add a security advice to the manpage |
| |
| * do not advertise Bundle::CPAN when a new CPAN is available, CPAN alone |

| |
| * release 1.87 |
| |

| |
| 2006-02-23 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.86_53 |
| |
| * t/30shell emits two test headers (fixes #17816; Adam Kennedy) |
| |
| * make Tarzip work better on uncompressed files; fixes test failure of |
| test t/12cpan.t work under some conditions |
| |
| * t/30shell now skips tests that need uninstalled prerequisites and so |
| passes all tests on a bare 5.8.8 for me when CPAN_RUN_SHELL_TEST is set |
| |
| 2006-02-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.86_52 |
| |
| * simplification of the concepts of home and of the CPAN/MyConfig.pm and |
| the CPAN/Config.pm. There were too many places that tried to do the same |
| thing. Should now be centralized and consistent. |

| |

| Kennedy) |
| |
| * t/12cpan.t now behaves on 5.004 and 5.005 |
| |

| environment variable CPAN_RUN_SHELL_TEST in this case |
| |
| * more testing in 30shell.t |
| |
| 2006-02-20 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.86 |
| |
| * quick fix for a bug in the Checksums checking code: if the cache had |
| an old copy, it was in some cases not updated and if the file-to-check |
| was newer, a false alarm was triggered. |
| |
| * I expect a 1.87 soonish, because we have open bugs: test 12cpan.t not |
| suited for old perls; test for the above bug missing. |
| |
| 2006-02-19 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.85 |
| |
| * Fix for 'install Bundle:CPAN' on Windows machines (closes #17699; Adam |
| Kennedy) |
| |
| * Make a separate distro for Bundle::CPAN (works around the bug for |
| older versions of CPAN) |
| |
| * Another fix for bundles: in some cases CPAN.pm installed an older |
| bundle than the most recent |
| |
| * more tests: CPAN.pm subroutine coverage now at 71.4% |
| |
| 2006-02-15 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.84 |
| |
| * see detailed release notes for releases 1.83_51 upto 1.83_69 below |
| |
| * highlights of the changes between 1.83 and 1.84: better error handling |
| with new "failed" command and in many other places; new config variable |
| ftp_passive is on by default; new command mkmyconfig; Module::Build |
| support should now work on Windows and work better on all platforms; new |
| methods for programmers CPAN::Module::distribution and |
| CPAN::Distribution::author; improved docs; prettier output; and last not |
| least a heavy dose of refactoring, bugfixing, and testing |
| |
| * Thanks to the bunch of helpful contributors and bug reporters (you |
| know who you are:) |

| |
| * release 1.83_59 |

| |
| * bugfix rt #17131 (Lee Goddard): better error messages on two |

| test |
| |
| 2006-01-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.83_56 |
| |

| Makefile.PL implies a Module::Build dependency |
| |
| * skipping the signature test now possible with "force" |
| |

| |
| * improved documentation |

| |
| * release 1.83_52 is a work in progress: Jim is proceeding with the |

| |
| * envariable CPAN_SHELL_LEVEL now available for subshells (Slaven Rezic) |

| a bogus bugreport on perl monks that was only due to wrong system time) |
| |
| * bugfix: hide CPAN::Config from the indexer |

| |
| * release 1.81 adds on top of 1.80_58: |
| |
| * bugfix: completion of debug options was not case insensitive |
| |
| * bugfix: installation of distributions was broken for distros |
| not mentioned in the index |
| |
| * include a hint that su might work as well as sudo in the dialog |
| about make_install_make_command and mbuild_install_build_command |
| |
| * add Module::Signature to the Bundle and move Digest::SHA higher |
| up so they start working as soon as possible |
| |
| * improve the dialog that ensues when bad signatures are |
| encountered |
| |
| 2006-01-01 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.80_58 was a quick bugfix release |
| |
| 2005-12-31 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.80_57 adds on top of 1.80_56 the following: |
| |
| * prerequisites fixed: File::Temp was missing in PREREQ_PM and |
| Bundle |
| |
| * reduce noise when $Debug is on |
| |
| * improved handling of whitespace in filenames (Roland Bauer; |
| rt.cpan.org #3201) |
| |
| * add the Module::Build configuration parameters to the required |
| parameters (thus users are relayed to the init dialog) |
| |
| * import less symbols |
| |
| * enhanced robustness if cwd gets removed while we're running |
| (Rhet Turnbull; rt.cpan.org #321) |
| |
| * add "notest" to the completion table |
| |
| * enhanced robustness when untar is failing or poses permission |
| problems |
| |
| * iron out some buglets in the "ls GLOB" code |
| |
| * enhanced robustness on "reload cpan" when the path to CPAN.pm |
| has changed |
| |
| * replace some hash accesses with method calls for a cleaner |
| interface (Work in Progress; no user-visible changes) |
| |
| * do not fail anymore when finding empty files left over from a |
| previous unsuccessful download |
| |
| * uptodate message more descriptive (Adam Kennedy; rt.cpan.rg |
| #15580) |
| |
| 2005-12-17 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * release 1.80_56 is a release candidate for 1.81 |
| |
| * integrate release 1.5 of brian's cpan script from |
| http://sourceforge.net/projects/brian-d-foy/ |
| |
| * Support for Module::Build: to set the preference for |
| Module::Build over MakeMaker, run |
| |
| o conf prefer_installer MB |
| o conf commit |
| |
| * ls command supports globbing; these work nicely: |
| |
| ls KWILLIAMS/P* |
| ls JV/make* |
| |
| this works too but is slow: |
| |
| ls */*make* |
| |
| * META.yml data replace the Makefile parsing code if YAML |
| available (compensating for the frequent wrong usage of the |
| requires element) |
| |
| * support SHA256; stop using MD5 |
| |
| * support bzip2 compression; can be tested with 'install |
| ARTURAZ/Net-Vypress-Chat-0.72.1.tar.bz2'; the CPAN indexer does |
| not yet index bz2 distros but will probably start to do so as soon |
| as CPANPLUS supports bzip2 |
| |
| * tiny tweaks to make CPAN.pm run on a busybox (Guillaume Filion) |
| |
| * bugfix: major speedup on all commands that need expansion of |
| regular expressions to module names |
| |
| * prettier r command output: the 4th column of the 'r' command |
| drops the redundant X/XX/ prefix |
| |
| * tolerant when you type one colon instead of two on module names |
| |
| 2005-12-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de> |
| |
| * this is release 1.80 |
| |
| * support for Module::Signature courtesy Autrijus Tang |
| |
| * separated out new module CPAN::Version that has muchly improved |
| support for multidot version notation that should make the |
| deployment of version.pm easy for everybody. During the last weeks |
| the indexer on PAUSE also got improved version.pm support and |
| spits out numified versions. This release is optimized for the new |
| version handling, regardless if used with or without version.pm |
| (Thanks to John Peacock and to Graham Barr for their help) |

| * new pragma 'notest' courtesy Slaven Rezic |
| |

| commands will display the upload date |
| |
| * fix bug in FirstTime causing endless loop under some conditions |
| |
| * better completion for config variables and a new warning if an |
| unregistered config variable is being set |
