18TODO: bundle "<<<<" error => endless loop
19TODO: keepnl option of some kind
20 - implement lzf compression for library files, use "--compress none"
21 to disable.
22 - switch default mirrors to https.
23 - add backpan to urrlist by default, so its easier to install older, working,
24 modules such as JSTOWE/TermReadKey-2.33.tar.gz
25 - configure pushy_https by default, as this extraordinarily stupidly
26 named option apparently breaks urllist completely.
27 - new hook: postcpanconfig.
28 - more aggreessively strip consecutive whitespace when using PPI.
29 - avoid idiotic "Reverse operator" warning when stripping with PPI.
30 - change default compression for perl tarballs to gzip, as upstream
31 keeps changing compression algorithms and gzip is the only stable one.
32 - unset some more environment variables to reduce interference.
33 - implement (partial and so farr undocumented --keepnl mode for ppi stirpping).
34 - when installing modules, try to install before AND after building perl, to
35 work around a perl bug where it would try to link against both installed
36 and just-built versions of a module, which seems to happen for dual-life moduöes
37 such as Encode.

41 - when building an app ("mkapp"), staticperl freed the argv too
42 early, which causes memory corruption when perl is later
43 assigning to $0.
44 - default CPAN recommends_policy/suggests_policy to off.
45 - new bundle args: --extra-cflags, --extra-ldflags and --extra-libs.
46 - fix CBuilder workaround to actually use PERL_CFLAGS not PERL_CFLASGS.
47 - minor cosmetic fixes.

491.45 Fri Oct 19 23:26:54 CEST 2018
50 - work around weird, buggy and broken stacksize check in newer Storable.
51 - create a framework for patching modules before make, thanks to Storable.
52 - try to work around install phase changing thw cwd,m so instsrc . no
53 longer fails because the install dependency changed the cwd.
54 - restore PL_origfilename and $0 to argv[0] before running bootstrap,
55 so the script name is no longer '-e' in error messages and so on.
56 - PERL_VERSION can now be a full URL or a directory.
57 - default to stableperl.
58 - add -Uversiononly to Configure args, as it's required by staticperl, and
59 one of the many unrelated things usedevel needlessly toggles.

611.44 Tue Jul 7 01:32:49 CEST 2015
62 - added Net::SSLeay hint, tested and improved by gleeco.
63 - fix quoting bug, avoid failure when EXTRA_MODULES contains spaces.
64 - enable build_requires_install_policy to work around one of the myriad
65 bugs in Module::Build.
66 - support concurrent access to the DLCACHE.
67 - install ExtUtils::CBuilder early, to improve chances of succeeding
68 slightly by having a newer version.
69 - patch ExtUtils::CBuilder::Base::have_compiler to always return
70 false, as ExtUtils::CBuilder blindly builds shared libs on systems
71 that cannot build shared libs and modules relying on it usually
72 fail for similar reasons.
73 - set LD/CC/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS to work around the endlessly buggy ExtUtils::CBuilder,
74 which incidentally is a byproduct (read: garbage) of Module::Build.
75 - be more aggressive about post-install patching, to avoid stuff falling
76 through the cracks.
77 - override MAP_TARGET for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, as some modules
78 provide their own name for the perl binary (which is not what we want).
79 - update DynaLoader patch for current ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
80
811.43 Wed Apr 18 14:38:43 CEST 2012
82 - remove the temporary MakeMaker patch, as either Pod::Parser or
83 MakeMaker have been fixed. Also make sure we pull MakeMaker
84 from CPAN. This might fix the CPAN dependency problems with
85 newer perl versions (at least 5.14.2).
86 - staticperl mkperl or mkapp didn't clean up temporary files.
87 - PPI::XS seems to be broken, directly depend on PPI.
88
891.42 Mon Mar 5 08:16:02 CET 2012
90 - actually, really do it.
91
921.41 Mon Mar 5 08:14:11 CET 2012
93 - temporarily patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker because newer versions
94 break Pod::Parser.
95
961.4 Mon Jul 18 09:33:48 CEST 2011
97 - new configuration variable DLCACHE to avoid repeated downloads.
98 - the static:: namespace was wrongly documented as sttaicperl::.
99 - provide no compiler flags apart from -Os anymore by default.
100 - staticperl clean now removes all build files (src/).
101 - staticperl no longer sets EV_EXTRA_DEFS or CORO_INTERFACE.
102 - patch ExtUtils::Miniperl to always include DynaLoader, otherwise
103 static linking disables later dynamic linking and vice versa.
104 - (experimental) do not build a new perl unless a static archive
105 was created, to make -Dusedl faster.
106 - actually fail when not being able to install some modules from CPAN.
107 - speed up installing modules from CPAN if multiple modules have
108 been specified.
109 - weed out duplicated libraries form the beginning, not the end.
110 - set shell variable $PERL to full path to perl binary
111 when running staticperl cpan, which is handy for subshells.
112 - properly define "boot_DynaLoader" when DynaLoader is available.
113 - fix a memleak in static::list.
114 - mkbundle can now bundle dynamic objects for perl extensions
115 (--allow-dynamic).
116 - lots of windows workarounds/bugfixes.
117
1181.31 Tue Jun 14 09:03:59 CEST 2011
119 - pause is more tricky than expected - rename fake.pm to Staticperl.pm.
120 - improved documentation a bit.
121
1221.3 Tue May 10 19:39:39 CEST 2011
123 - the nothing-to-see-except-a-version-bump release.
124 - package a fake.pm file to (maybe!) get CPAN to allocate namespace
125 for us, as people have real trouble to install the distribution.
126
1271.22 Sun May 1 11:28:54 CEST 2011
128 - prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
129 commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
130 using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
131 for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
132 - use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
133 - unset PERL_CORE and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
134 these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
135 instead.
136 - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
137 Pango and Gtk2 build.
138 - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
139 often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
140 is a bug in Pango).
141 - create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
142 after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
143 - rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
144 - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
145 - new "staticperl perl" command.
146 - updated small/bigperl to 5.12.3.
147
1481.21 Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
149 - ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
150 by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
151 - some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
152 force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
153 forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
154 anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
155 - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
156 -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
157 - new hook: patchconfig.
158
1591.2 Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
160 - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
161 keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
162 - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
163 for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
164 - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
165 (it fails to build extensions statically).
166 - use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).
167
1681.11 Tue Mar 8 18:37:00 CET 2011
169 - no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
170 as it is no longer useful.
171 - fix output shortening in testsuite.
172
1731.1 Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
174 - use a better -M syntax.
175 - the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
176 - --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
177 - embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
178 was used before defined.
179 - mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
6 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/. 180 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
181 - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
182 - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
183 - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
184 can be 0 (and is then ignored).
185 - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
186 - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
187 - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).

81.0 Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011 1891.0 Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011
9 - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating 190 - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating
10 /usr/bin/perl. 191 /usr/bin/perl.
11 - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris 192 - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris
