151.44
16 - added Net::SSLeay hint, tested and improved by gleeco.
17 - fix quoting bug, avoid failure when EXTRA_MODULES contains spaces.
18 - enable build_requires_install_policy to work around one of the myriad
19 bugs in Module::Build.
20 - support concurrent access to the DLCACHE.
21 - install ExtUtils::CBuilder early, to improve chances of succeeding
22 slightly by having a newer version.
23 - patch ExtUtils::CBuilder::Base::have_compiler to always return
24 false, as ExtUtils::CBuilder blindly builds shared libs on systems
25 that cannot build shared libs and modules relying on it usually
26 fail for similar reasons.
27 - set LD/CC/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS to work around the endlessly buggy ExtUtils::CBuilder,
28 which incidentally is a byproduct (read: garbage) of Module::Build.
29 - be more aggressive about post-install patching, to avoid stuff falling
30 through the cracks.
31 - override MAP_TARGET for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, as some modules
32 provide their own name for the perl binary (which is not what we want).
33
341.43 Wed Apr 18 14:38:43 CEST 2012
35 - remove the temporary MakeMaker patch, as either Pod::Parser or
36 MakeMaker have been fixed. Also make sure we pull MakeMaker
37 from CPAN. This might fix the CPAN dependency problems with
38 newer perl versions (at least 5.14.2).
39 - staticperl mkperl or mkapp didn't clean up temporary files.
40 - PPI::XS seems to be broken, directly depend on PPI.
41
421.42 Mon Mar 5 08:16:02 CET 2012
43 - actually, really do it.
44
451.41 Mon Mar 5 08:14:11 CET 2012
46 - temporarily patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker because newer versions
47 break Pod::Parser.
48
491.4 Mon Jul 18 09:33:48 CEST 2011
50 - new configuration variable DLCACHE to avoid repeated downloads.
51 - the static:: namespace was wrongly documented as sttaicperl::.
52 - provide no compiler flags apart from -Os anymore by default.
53 - staticperl clean now removes all build files (src/).
54 - staticperl no longer sets EV_EXTRA_DEFS or CORO_INTERFACE.
55 - patch ExtUtils::Miniperl to always include DynaLoader, otherwise
56 static linking disables later dynamic linking and vice versa.
57 - (experimental) do not build a new perl unless a static archive
58 was created, to make -Dusedl faster.
59 - actually fail when not being able to install some modules from CPAN.
60 - speed up installing modules from CPAN if multiple modules have
61 been specified.
62 - weed out duplicated libraries form the beginning, not the end.
63 - set shell variable $PERL to full path to perl binary
64 when running staticperl cpan, which is handy for subshells.
65 - properly define "boot_DynaLoader" when DynaLoader is available.
66 - fix a memleak in static::list.
67 - mkbundle can now bundle dynamic objects for perl extensions
68 (--allow-dynamic).
69 - lots of windows workarounds/bugfixes.
70
711.31 Tue Jun 14 09:03:59 CEST 2011
72 - pause is more tricky than expected - rename fake.pm to Staticperl.pm.
73 - improved documentation a bit.
74
751.3 Tue May 10 19:39:39 CEST 2011
76 - the nothing-to-see-except-a-version-bump release.
77 - package a fake.pm file to (maybe!) get CPAN to allocate namespace
78 for us, as people have real trouble to install the distribution.
79
801.22 Sun May 1 11:28:54 CEST 2011
81 - prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
82 commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
83 using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
84 for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
85 - use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
86 - unset PERL_CORE and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
87 these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
88 instead.
89 - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
90 Pango and Gtk2 build.
91 - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
92 often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
93 is a bug in Pango).
94 - create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
95 after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
96 - rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
97 - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
98 - new "staticperl perl" command.
99 - updated small/bigperl to 5.12.3.
100
1011.21 Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
102 - ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
103 by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
104 - some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
105 force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
106 forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
107 anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
108 - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
109 -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
110 - new hook: patchconfig.
111
1121.2 Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
113 - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
114 keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
115 - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
116 for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
117 - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
118 (it fails to build extensions statically).
119 - use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).
120
1211.11 Tue Mar 8 18:37:00 CET 2011
122 - no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
123 as it is no longer useful.
124 - fix output shortening in testsuite.
125
1261.1 Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
127 - use a better -M syntax.
128 - the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
129 - --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
130 - embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
131 was used before defined.
132 - mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
6 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/. 133 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
134 - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
135 - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
136 - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
137 can be 0 (and is then ignored).
138 - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
139 - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
140 - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).

10 /usr/bin/perl. 144 /usr/bin/perl.
