Revision history for Perl extension Time::HiRes.
1.38
- no functional changes
- move lib/Time/HiRes.pm as Hires.pm
- libraries scanning was slightly broken (always scanned
for a library even when $Config{libs} already had it)
1.37
- Ray Zimmerman ran into a race condition in Mac OS X.
A 0.01-second alarm fired before the test expected.
The test first slept indefinitely (blocking for signals)
and only after that tested for the signal having been sent.
Since the signal had already been sent, the test #12 never
completed. The solution: test first, then block.
- default to being silent on all probing attempts, set the
environment variable VERBOSE to a true value to see the
details (the probing command and the possible errors)
1.36
- do not clear MAN3PODS in Makefile.PL (Radoslaw Zielinski)
- INSTALLDIRS => 'perl' missing which means that Time::HiRes
cannot be upgraded from CPAN to override the 5.8.0 version
(Guido A. Ostkamp)
- Time::HiRes 1.35 could not be dropped as-is to bleadperl
because the include directories did not adjust themselves
if $ENV{PERL_CORE} (Hugo van der Sanden)
- add documentation about the restart of select() under alarm()
1.35
- small documentation tweaks
1.34
- better VMS operation (Craig Berry)
1.33
- our time machine is accelerating: now works with Perl 5.004_01
(tried with 5.003_07 and 5.002 but I get segmentation faults
from running the Makefile.PL with those in Tru64 4.0D)
1.31 and 1.32 add more backward compatibility (now all the way back to
Perl 5.00404), and using nanosleep() (if available) for subsecond sleeps.
1.30 adds all the changes made during the Perl 5.6->5.7->5.8 development
cycle. Most notably portability across platforms has been enhanced,
and the interval timers (setitimer, getitimer) have been added.
Note that the version of Time::HiRes that is included in Perl 5.8.0
calls itself 1.20_00, but it is equivalent to this Time::HiRes version.
Note also that in 1.30 Wegscheid turns over the maintenance to Jarkko
Hietaniemi.
1.20
compatibility is maintained afaict, except an additional "mx" prefix
in the namespace
-make it a "distutils" pkg, so it works with Python-2.2.x
-license change - now freely redistibutable
pclock is a simple analog clock program designed to run under WindowMaker
window manager (also runs fine on any other window manager which supports
dock apps, such as PWM). Any 64x64 pixmap may be used as a background.

extension Makefile fragments, because they really don't have anything to
do with the buildlink[12] frameworks. Change all the Makefiles that use
application.buildlink.mk and extension.buildlink.mk to use application.mk
and extension.mk instead.
Remove `-p' from mkdir arguments, it is already part of ${MKDIR}.
While here substitute a couple of ${PREFIX} by `%D' in
`@exec ${MKDIR} ...' lines and add a couple of missing `%D' in such lines too!

Xchrono is a multi-timezone, multi-face clock program for X Windows.
Several cities have been compiled into xchrono, and can be invoked with
command-line arguments, xchrono -help gives:
Usage: xchrono [-analog] [-bw <pixels>] [-digital]
[-fg <color>] [-bg <color>] [-hd <color>]
[-hl <color>] [-bd <color>]
[-fn <font_name>] [-help] [-padding <pixels>]
[-rv] [-update <seconds>] [-display displayname]
[-geometry geom]
[-width clockWidth] [-height clockHeight] [-local localName]
[-boston] [-newyork] [-chicago] [-denver] [-la]
[-hawaii] [-tokyo] [-sydney] [-london]
[-paris] [-frankfurt] [-rio]
OK, OK, Hawaii isn't a city, but you get the point. The timezones used
are taken from tztab in the SYSV case, and from /usr/lib/zoneinfo
otherwise, and as such may or may not be correct (the TZ variable
definitions or the city->timezone mappings).
The -local <localName> option causes a clock labeled with <localName>
using the value of TZ at startup as it's timezone. In addition, a GMT
clock always appears.
[Requested by groo, who has enough trouble with one timezone, so why he
wants more is beyond me.]
Project Clock lets you record the time you spend on different tasks
with a single mouse click. It is easy to add and delete projects. An
included utility generates reports.
all dependencies on packages depending on "png" which contain shared
libraries, all for the (imminent) update to the "png" package.
