Makefiles during the build process by touching various auto{conf,make}
source files to make them up-to-date. Packages that require regenerating
the configure script and Makefile.in files should make the appropriate
calls to auto{conf,make} in a pre-configure target. This allows the
various targets listed in ${_CONFIG_PREREQ} to modify the generated files
without triggering the GNU auto* tools and having the modifications be
overwritten.
This is the LAST maintenance release of the Storable module.
Indeed, Storable is now part of perl 5.8, and will be maintained
as part of Perl. The CPAN module will remain available there
for people running pre-5.8 perls.
Avoid requiring Fcntl upfront, useful to embedded runtimes.
Use an eval {} for testing, instead of making Storable.pm
simply fail its compilation in the BEGIN block.
store_fd() will now correctly autoflush file if needed.
Version 3.7 29-Oct-01
---------------------
1. In updating pcretest to check change 1 of version 3.6, I screwed up.
This caused pcretest, when used on the test data, to segfault. Unfortunately,
this didn't happen under Solaris 8, where I normally test things.
Version 3.6 23-Oct-01
---------------------
1. Crashed with /(sens|respons)e and \1ibility/ and "sense and sensibility" if
offsets passed as NULL with zero offset count.
2. The config.guess and config.sub files had not been updated when I moved to
the latest autoconf.
Version 3.5 15-Aug-01
---------------------
1. Added some missing #if !defined NOPOSIX conditionals in pcretest.c that
had been forgotten.
2. By using declared but undefined structures, we can avoid using "void"
definitions in pcre.h while keeping the internal definitions of the structures
private.
3. The distribution is now built using autoconf 2.50 and libtool 1.4. From a
user point of view, this means that both static and shared libraries are built
by default, but this can be individually controlled. More of the work of
handling this static/shared cases is now inside libtool instead of PCRE's make
file.
4. The pcretest utility is now installed along with pcregrep because it is
useful for users (to test regexs) and by doing this, it automatically gets
relinked by libtool. The documentation has been turned into a man page, so
there are now .1, .txt, and .html versions in /doc.
5. Upgrades to pcregrep:
(i) Added long-form option names like gnu grep.
(ii) Added --help to list all options with an explanatory phrase.
(iii) Added -r, --recursive to recurse into sub-directories.
(iv) Added -f, --file to read patterns from a file.
6. pcre_exec() was referring to its "code" argument before testing that
argument for NULL (and giving an error if it was NULL).
7. Upgraded Makefile.in to allow for compiling in a different directory from
the source directory.
8. Tiny buglet in pcretest: when pcre_fullinfo() was called to retrieve the
options bits, the pointer it was passed was to an int instead of to an unsigned
long int. This mattered only on 64-bit systems.
9. Fixed typo (3.4/1) in pcre.h again. Sigh. I had changed pcre.h (which is
generated) instead of pcre.in, which it its source. Also made the same change
in several of the .c files.
10. A new release of gcc defines printf() as a macro, which broke pcretest
because it had an ifdef in the middle of a string argument for printf(). Fixed
by using separate calls to printf().
11. Added --enable-newline-is-cr and --enable-newline-is-lf to the configure
script, to force use of CR or LF instead of \n in the source. On non-Unix
systems, the value can be set in config.h.
12. The limit of 200 on non-capturing parentheses is a _nesting_ limit, not an
absolute limit. Changed the text of the error message to make this clear, and
likewise updated the man page.
13. The limit of 99 on the number of capturing subpatterns has been removed.
The new limit is 65535, which I hope will not be a "real" limit.
pkgsrc. Instead, a new variable PKGREVISION is invented that can get
bumped independent of DISTNAME and PKGNAME.
Example #1:
DISTNAME= foo-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= foo-X.YnbZ
Example #2:
DISTNAME= barthing-X.Y
PKGNAME= bar-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= bar=X.YnbZ (!)
On subsequent changes, only PKGREVISION needs to be bumped, no more risk
of getting DISTNAME changed accidentally.
More interesting changes since 4.3:
Module "Date::Calc":
+ Added the following new functions:
* check_time()
* Delta_YMD()
* Delta_YMDHMS()
* Add_Delta_YM()
* Add_Delta_YMDHMS()
* Normalize_DHMS()
* This_Year()
* Gmtime()
* Localtime()
* Mktime()
* Timezone()
* Date_to_Time()
* Time_to_Date()
* Fixed_Window()
* Moving_Window()
* ISO_LC()
* ISO_UC()
+ Added support for Norwegian.
+ Added support for Swedish.
+ Added support for Danish.
+ Added support for Finnish.
+ Changed the month names of some languages to lower case.
+ Changed the french "long" date format to a more popular form.
+ Fixed the broken parsing of special ISO-Latin-1 characters
in Date::Calc (replaced <ctype.h> with better solution).
- Locales wouldn't help here, because "Decode_Language()" must
work with any locale setting. Moreover, setting a language in
Date::Calc would also require to set the proper corresponding
locale in the current environment, which may not be available
on the current system. The new solution works independently
of any locale and with ALL languages (in ISO-Latin-1).
+ Changed the function "Add_Delta_YMD()" to have a more intuitive,
consistent and reversible behaviour. This might break existing
code, though. (To get the old behaviour, use the new function
"Add_Delta_YM()" plus "Add_Delta_Days()" thereafter instead.)
+ Added an optional boolean parameter "orthodox" to "Calendar()"
for calendars starting with Sunday instead of Monday.
+ Changed the behaviour of the "Decode_Date_*()" set of functions:
if the current year is available on the system, then a "moving
window" strategy is applied to year numbers < 100; otherwise
it defaults to the previous behaviour (see version 4.3 below).
+ Changed the "Week_of_Year()" function: In scalar context, it
now returns just the week number. BEWARE, this is a DANGEROUS
feature - see the manual page for why this is so!
Module "Date::Calc::Object":
+ Added the module Date::Calc::Object, an object-oriented add-on
to Date::Calc with overloaded operators.
Modules "Date::Calendar[::(Year|Profiles)]":
+ Added the modules Date::Calendar, Date::Calendar::Year and
Date::Calendar::Profiles, for calculations which need to
take holidays into account (and for generating calendars).
* It's now officially safe to redirect STDOUT and STDERR without
affecting test output.
- License and POD cleanup by Autrijus Tang
- Synched up Test::Tutorial with the wiki version
- Minor VMS test nit.
* Finally added a seperate plan() function
* Adding a name field to isa_ok()
(Requested by Dave Rolsky)
- Test::More was using Carp.pm, causing the occasional false positive.
(Reported by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa)
* Added Test::Builder
(Thanks muchly to chromatic for getting this off the ground!)
* Diagnostics are back to using STDERR *unless* it's from a todo
test. Those go to STDOUT.
- Fixed it so nothing is printed if a test is run with a -c flag.
Handy when a test is being deparsed with B::Deparse.
* Test::Simple and Test::More no longer print their diagnostics
to STDERR. It instead goes to STDOUT.
* TODO tests which fail now print full failure diagnostics.
- Minor bug in ok()'s test name diagnostics made it think a blank
name was a number.
- ok() less draconian about test names
- Added temporary special case for Parrot::Test
- Now requiring File::Spec for our tests.
* ***API CHANGE*** can_ok() only counts as one test
- can_ok() has better diagnostics
- Minor POD fixes from mjd
- adjusting the internal layout to make it easier to put it into
the core
- An excuse to upload a new version to CPAN to get Test::Harness
back on the index.
- Fixed a bug with tests failing if they're all skipped
reported by Stas Bekman.
- Fixed a very minor warning in 5.004_04
- Fixed displaying filenames not from @ARGV
- Merging with bleadperl
- minor fixes to the filename in the report
- '[no reason given]' skip reason
- Added internal information about number of todo tests
IPC::ShareLite provides a simple interface to shared memory, allowing
data to be efficiently communicated between processes.
It provides an abstraction of the shared memory and semaphore facilities
of SysV IPC, allowing the storage of arbitrarily large data; the module
automatically acquires and removes shared memory segments as needed.
Storage and retrieval of data is atomic, and locking functions are
provided for higher-level synchronization.
In many respects, this module is similar to IPC::Shareable. However,
IPC::ShareLite does not provide a tied interface, does not (automatically)
allow the storage of variables, and is written in C for additional speed.
Cbrowser helps manage the recursive process of searching through
source code for usages by providing a history mechanism. Every query
is recorded and can be recalled at any time, without the need of
re-querying the database.
Cbrowser allows you to build and use multiple source code databases
for individual software projects. Switching databases is as simple as
selecting the file, and a history of all databases used is kept at all
times.
Best of all, cbrowser provides a hierarchical function viewer.
Functions may be expanded and contracted to show or hide the functions
they call. The function's code itself is shown in an adjoining
viewer. This feature is implemented using the megawidget Library by
Jeff Hobbs.
* Use qt2-designer-kde for a uic that understands KDE2 widgets.
* On Linux, kmtrace is installed, so handle it in the PLIST.
* libkstartperf.so needs to link against libltdl.so so add run-time dependency
on libtool.

* Removed tags for forward class/struct declarations [C/C++, Bug #432563].
* Eliminated ;" separator from end of tag line when no extension fields are
present.
* Fixed segmentation violation for some Lisp files [Lisp].
* Fixed segmentation violation occurring when file referenced in #line
directive was from an unknown language.
* Fixed loss of sync when parsing bit fields named with C++ reserved word [C].
* Fixed compilation problem on gcc-2.7.2.
