Changes:
Version 0.1621:
- Improved compatibility with versions of Perl older than 5.6.0, by replacing
"use bytes" with "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes". (Thanks to
<nothingmuch@woobling.org> for the bug report.)
- Fixed test case error reporting for tests that fail to fork. (Thanks to
<corion-cpansmoker@corion.net> for the test failure report.)
- Fixed unexpected success of binmode_bug.t test on Windows 2000. (Thanks to
Max Maischein <corion@corion.net> for the bug report.)
- Fixed a bug in stdin_tell_bug.t. (Thanks to Max Maischein
<corion@corion.net> for the bug report.)
Version 0.1620: Tue Dec 21 2004
- Fixed version numbers, which were incompatible with some modules. (Thanks to
Tassilo von Parseval <tassilo.von.parseval@rwth-aachen.de> for the bug
report)
- Switched to Test::More for better test reporting
- Removed the use of the "English" module to work around a bug that exists in
some versions of Perl. See
http://groups.google.com/groups?th=e3483b06a956030e for more info. (Thanks
to Jim Longino <jlongino@jaguar1.usouthal.edu> for the bug report.)
Version 0.16.1: Thu Sep 16 2004
- Added missing inc/ dependency
Version 0.16.0: Wed Sep 15 2004
- Fixed stdin_tell_bug.t so that it's more platform-dependent. (Martin Thurn
<martin.thurn@ngc.com> reports that Solaris 2.8 returns 0 instead of -1).
- Added filehandle-specific input_record_separator capability (Feature
suggestion by David Muir Sharnoff <muir@idiom.com>)
- Changed Makefile.PL to use Module::Install
Version 0.15:
- Switched from WeakRef to Scalar::Util, which is included in recent versions
of Perl. (Thanks to Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net> for the suggestion and
patch.)
- Fixed a bug involving pipes and tell(), where tell() would cause following
operations to fail. (Thanks to Karol Szafranski <szafrans@imb-jena.de> for
the bug report.)
- Added new_from_fd support (Thanks to Karol Szafranski <szafrans@imb-jena.de>
for the bug report.)
- Fixed a bug in which <$fh> would always behave as if called in a list
context after the first such call.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.
addresses PR pkg/28619 from H. Todd Fujinaka.
FileHandle::Unget is a drop-in replacement for FileHandle which
allows more than one byte to be placed back on the input. It supports
an ungetc(ORD) which can be called more than once in a row, and an
ungets(SCALAR) which places a string of bytes back on the input.
