0.42 2006-02-20
- This release is based on version 2006b of the Olson database.
0.41 2006-01-31
- This release is based on version 2006a of the Olson database.
0.40 2005-12-27
- This release is based on version 2005r of the Olson database. This
includes the latest Canadian changes to match the recent US changes.
Also note that as of this version several zones which used to be
links, including "EST", "MST", and "CST6DST", are now separate zones.
0.39 2005-06-05
- This release is based on version 2005o of the Olson database.
0.3801 2005-11-24 the "not turkey day" release
- The last release included some generated modules for old zones (like
Europe/Belfast) which are now links to existing zones. These modules
referenced the non-existent DateTime::TimeZone::Singleton module.
Reported by Rafael Garcia-Suarez.
0.38 2005-11-21
- Trying to create a DateTime object during DST exactly 11 years in
the future (really, 1 year after the end of the pre-generated TZ
change data that ships in the package) cause an error. Reported by
Daniel B Boorstein.
- This release is based on version 2005n of the Olson database.
- Added a new method, has_dst_changes(), which indicates whether a
given zone has any DST changes.
0.37 2005-08-22
- Make sure that provided time zone names are valid, because
DateTime::TimeZone uses them in an eval. If you were passing
user-provided data directly to DateTime::TimeZone->new, someone could
give a string like "America/Chicago; system 'rm -rf /';", which would
be bad. Reported by Matthew Reilly.
- Made it possible to call catalog-related functions as methods.
- This release is based on version 2005i of the Olson database. This
include some major changes coming up in the US as a whole in 2007,
along with other changes for just Indiana.
0.36 2005-04-21
- This release is based on version 2005i of the Olson database.
0.35 2005-03-15 the "I hate this dope" release
- This release is based on version 2005g of the Olson database.
- STORABLE_thaw() now returns $self in preparation for proposed
changes to Storable.
0.34 2005-03-11
- Some time zone short names were incorrectly being given as something
like "GMT/BST", when it should have been alternating between GMT and
BST based on the daylight saving time. Reported by Tom Yandell.
- This release is based on version 2005f of the Olson database.
0.33 2005-02-26
- This release is based on version 2005e of the Olson database.
- When trying to determine the local time zone, if /etc/localtime is a
file, make sure that matching file in /usr/share/zoneinfo is not a
symlink.
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.
1.87 [2006-02-13]
- [rt.cpan.org #17442] 'make test' frequently fails under
Cygwin Perl v5.8.8, reported and patched by J. R. Hedden
(two race condition bugs in the END block in the case the
main process dies before the timer process, unearthed
by a bug in Cygwin ualarm)
1.86 [2005-12-17]
- HiRes.t:s/ok 32/ok 33/, from Dominic Dunlop
- tighten up the clock() test marginally by requiring non-negative
- clock_nanosleep() and clock() doc tweaks
1.85 [2005-12-16]
- the interface to clock_nanosleep() is more natural
when it is like (hires) time() (instead of like nanosleep),
and the .xs implementation of clock_nanosleep() in 1.84
was broken anyway
- the semantics of clock() are not quite so silly as I thought,
but still somewhat odd, documented as such
- additional enhancements to the clock() documentation
- add test for clock_nanosleep() (I cannot test this
since none of my systems have the function)
- add test for clock()
1.84 [2005-12-16]
- add clock() which returns the processor time in
(floating point) seconds since an arbitrary era
- add clock_nanosleep() which suspends the current
thread until either absolute time or for relative time
- [rt.cpan.org #16486] printf missing value in HiRes.t
- add constants CLOCKS_PER_SEC, CLOCK_SOFTTIME, TIMER_ABSTIME
- tiny typo fixes
1.83 [2005-11-19]
- has_symbol() was wrong since e.g. ITIMER_VIRTUAL is exported
via @EXPORT_OK even when it is not available. This is heinous.
@EXPORT_OK should be determined at Makefile.PL time.
- be more lenient is testing clock_gettime(): allow more slop,
and retry up to three times, sleeping a random nap between
the retries
- human months are one-based (noticed by Anton Berezin)
1.82 [2005-10-06]
- CLOCK_REALTIME is an enum value (of the clockid_t enum)
in HP-UX (and might be so elsewhere, too), debugged by
H. Merijn Brand
- include const-c.inc as late as possible (from Randy Kobes,
[rt.cpan.org #15552] to avoid undefined usleep() on Win32
1.81 [2005-11-05]
- try to be more robust and consistent in the detection of
CLOCK_REALTIME and ITIMER_VIRTUAL in HiRes.t: the proper
way is
sub has_symbol {
my $symbol = shift;
eval 'import Time::HiRes qw($symbol)';
return 0 unless $@ eq '';
return exists ${"Time::HiRes::$symbol"};
}
and then use
&FOO_BAR
in the test. All these moves are needed because
1) one cannot directly do eval 'Time::HiRes::FOO_BAR'
because FOO_BAR might have a true value of zero
(or in the general case an empty string or even undef)
2) In case FOO_BAR is not available in this platform,
&FOO_BAR avoids the bareword warning
- wait more (1.5 seconds instead of 0.1) for the CLOCK_REALTIME test
but expect the 'customary' slop of 0.20 instead of 0.25
- fixed inside a comment HAS_POLL -> TIME_HIRES_NANOSLEEP
- at the end of HiRest.t tell how close we were to termination
1.80 [2005-11-04]
- Gisle noticed a mistake (using HAS_NANOSLEEP) in 1.79
1.79 [2005-11-03]
- try nanosleep for emulating usleep -- may help in some weird
embedded realtime places which have nanosleep but neither usleep
nor select nor poll (doesn't have to be weird embedded realtime
place, though -- in many places usleep is nanosleep anyway)
- try poll for emulating usleep -- this may help some obscure/old
SVR4 places that have neither usleep nor select
- a redundant test guard in HiRes.t
1.78 [2005-11-03]
- ITIMER_VIRTUAL detection in HiRes.t had problems (that we cannot
in the general case fail already at 'use' phase is suboptimal)
- fixes to the documentation of clock_gettime() and clock_getres()
1.77 [2005-11-03]
- add support for the POSIX clock_gettime() and clock_getres(),
if available, either as library calls or as syscalls
- be more defensive about missing functionality: break out
early (during 'use') if no e.g. clock_getres() is available,
and protect our back by trapping those cases also in HiRes.xs
- the test added in 1.76 could cause an endless loop e.g. in Solaris,
due to mixing of sleep() and alarm() (bad programmer, no cookie!)
1.76 [2005-10-22]
- testing for nanosleep had wrong logic which caused nanosleep
to become undefined for e.g. Mac OS X
- added a test for a core dump that was introduced by Perl 5.8.0
safe signals and was fixed for the time of 5.8.1 (one report of
the core dump was [perl #20920]), the test skipped pre-5.8.1.
- *cough* s/unanosleep/nanosleep/g; *cough*
1.75 [2005-10-18]
- installation patch from Gisle Aas: in Perls 5.8.x and later
use MakeMaker INSTALLDIRS value of 'perl' instead of 'site'.
1.74 [2005-09-19]
- [cpan #14608] Solaris 8 perl 5.005_03 File::Spec module does not have method rel2abs
(the workaround is not to use rel2abs, should not be necessary)
- [cpan #14642] U2time wrongly exported on the C API
(patch supplied by the reporter, SALVA@cpan.org)
- add release dates to Changes
1.73 [2005-08-16]
- Time::HiRes::nanosleep support for Solaris [PATCH]
(POSIX::uname() not available if building with core perl,
from Gisle Aas, via perl5-porters, perl change #25295)
1.72 [2005-07-01]
- going back to the 1.68 loader setup (using DynaLoader)
since too many weird things starting breaking
- fix a typo in José Auguste-Etienne's name
1.71 [2005-06-28]
- a thinko in the nanosleep() detection
- move more changes stuff from the README to Changes
- add -w to the Makefile.PL
1.70 [2005-06-26]
- oops in 1.69 about @ISA (not affecting anything but silly)
- add copyright 2005 to HiRes.pm
- add copyright and license to HiRes.xs
- add copyrights 2003, 2004, 2005 to README
1.69 [2005-06-25]
- actually run a test for nanosleep
(if there is no $Config{d_nanosleep}) since e.g. in AIX 4.2
it seems that one can link in nanosleep() but then calling
it fails instantly and sets errno to ENOSYS (Not implemented).
This may be fixable in the AIX case by figuring out the right
(realtime POSIX?) libs and whatnot, but in the general case
running a real test case is better. (Of course, this change
will no doubt run into portability problems because of the
execution step...) Note that because of hysterical raisins
most Perls do NOT have $Config{d_nanosleep} (scanning for
it by Configure would in many platforms require linking in
things like -lrt, which would in many platforms be a bad idea
for Perl itself).
(from José Auguste-Etienne)
- support XSLoader also since it's much faster
(from Alexey Tourbin)
- add SEE ALSO (BSD::Resource and Time::TAI64)
1.68 [2005-05-14]
- somehow 1.67 had a lot of doubled lines (a major cut-and-paste
error suspected), but miraculously it still worked since the
doubling took place below the __END__ token
- undef Pause() before defining it to avoid redefinition warnings
during compilation in case perl.h had already defined Pause()
(part of perl change #24271)
- minor doc tweaks
1.67 [2005-05-04]
- (internal) don't ignore the return value of gettimeofday()
- (external) return undef or an empty if the C gettimeofday() fails
(affects Time::HiRes gettimeofday() and the hires time())
The Sunbird Project is a redesign of the Calendar component. The goal is to
produce a cross platform standalone calendar application based on Mozilla's
XUL user interface language. At the moment the Sunbird name is a project
name. It is not official and may change in the future.
The intended user is someone who uses Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla
Thunderbird and wants a calendar application based on Mozilla.
Ok with wiz. I'll add a -gtk1 version later this week.
without affecting packages that are currently using it.
Packages which previously didn't set BUILDLINK_DEPMETHOD to neither "full" nor
"build" now set it to "full", but should be checked whether they really need it
(comment added). Packages which previously set it to "build" now don't set it
anymore.
Ok by jlam, wiz.
rather than PKG_FAIL_REASON, so that they provide useful error
messages in build logs, and so that they continue to work on platforms
where they aren't broken.
Gchore is a simple tool that tracks your chores, and reminds you to do them
on a daily basis. It is not a general todo list, it is better suited for
repeating tasks, such as taking out the garbage on mondays.
I got few private comments that one should not use buildlink3.mk but the
standard DEPENDS statement because we do not link against libraries
in this case.
