3TODO: --staticlibs --dynamiclibs 3TODO: document a few more common variables for statuicperlrc, also dynamic loading.
4TODO: binary files 4 - prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
5TODO: self-contained apps, not just perl 5 commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
6TODO: uclibc buildroot section 6 using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
7TODO: noautoload 7 for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
8 - use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
9 - unset PERL_CORE, PERL_MM_OPT and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
10 these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
11 instead.

131.21 Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
14 - ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
15 by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
16 - some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
17 force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
18 forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
19 anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
20 - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
21 -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
22 - new hook: patchconfig.
23
241.2 Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
25 - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
26 keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
27 - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
28 for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
29 - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
30 (it fails to build extensions statically).
31 - use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).
32
331.11 Tue Mar 8 18:37:00 CET 2011
34 - no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
35 as it is no longer useful.
36 - fix output shortening in testsuite.
37
381.1 Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
39 - use a better -M syntax.
40 - the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
41 - --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
42 - embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
43 was used before defined.
44 - mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
45 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
46 - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
47 - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
48 - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
49 can be 0 (and is then ignored).
50 - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
51 - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
52 - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).
53
541.0 Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011
55 - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating
56 /usr/bin/perl.
57 - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris
58 (only in the testsuite).
59 - use curl -f instead of just curl.
60 - prefer curl over wget again, as cpan seems to do so.
61 - clarify license.
62
630.92 Wed Dec 22 02:09:19 CET 2010
64 - major rework of the PHASE 2 documentation section, hopefully
65 it's now more clear, more useful, more sexy.
66 - renamed --usepacklist to --usepacklists (--usepacklist still
67 supported as abbreviation).
68 - "properly" get rid of SITELIB paths, avoid using -U compiler flags
69 (which didn't even do anything...).
70 - avoid export var=value syntax for non-unix shells (solaris...).
71 - better output in the error case from the testsuite.
72
730.912 Wed Dec 15 01:14:26 CET 2010
74 - print a longer and hopefully useful message when Configure fails.
75 - remove PERL_CPPFLAGS, replace with PERL_CCFLAGS, which get appended
76 tot he ccflags, instead of overriding them.
77 - introduce PERL_CC.
78 - work around *bsd stupidity again, where even root can't replace
79 files with mv :/.
80 - stop command processing when a command fails (e.g. staticperl mkperl
81 will stop if the install step fails).
82 - let perl do most configuration when running make test, to increase
83 chances of success.
84
850.911 Sat Dec 11 16:50:41 CET 2010
86 - argl, testsuite had a duplicated test.
87 - use -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition for better portability.
88
890.91 Fri Dec 10 22:13:43 CET 2010
90 - add testsuite (yeah, should be optional - send patches).
91 - started to maintain two demo builds: bigperl and smallperl,
92 on http://staticperl.schmorp.de.
93 - implemented --staticlib option.
94 - special unicore/ compression (but much more could be done,
95 especially for the uncompressed case).
96 - implemented a strip cache, speeding up ppi stripping enourmously.
97 - implemented --include/--exclude options.
98 - try to port the tar call to freebsd (reported and analyzed
99 by Thomas Linden).
100 - (hopefully) better meaning of verbose levels.
101 - avoid deadlocking in --eval (unlikely, but possible).
102 - implement $STATICPERLRC.
103 - do all option AND bundle file processing with Getopt::Long,
104 to make maintenance easier.
105
1060.9 Wed Dec 8 23:26:48 CET 2010
107 - support AutoLoader'ed functions with prototypes.
108 - new mkapp / --app option for mkbundle, to create
109 standalone applications.
110
1110.2 Tue Dec 7 21:50:07 CET 2010
112 - make it work as non-root user.
113 - make module install/linking much more robust against
114 build and link failures, i.e. try to only install
115 the module when it was actualyl built successfully.
116 - split "install" phase into perl install and module
117 install, so fixing your postinstall hook takes less time.
118 - change make clean to delete the sources dir.
119 - add preconfigure hook.
120
1210.1 Tue Dec 7 10:23:43 CET 2010
122 - initial release.
