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.
