17TODO: maybe make extutilc::cbuilder return value dynamic and have some kind of app-preferences?
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.

391.46 Tue 15 Feb 2022 19:25:09 CET
40 - when building an app ("mkapp"), staticperl freed the argv too
41 early, which causes memory corruption when perl is later
42 assigning to $0.
43 - default CPAN recommends_policy/suggests_policy to off.
44 - new bundle args: --extra-cflags, --extra-ldflags and --extra-libs.
45 - fix CBuilder workaround to actually use PERL_CFLAGS not PERL_CFLASGS.
46 - minor cosmetic fixes.
47
481.45 Fri Oct 19 23:26:54 CEST 2018
49 - work around weird, buggy and broken stacksize check in newer Storable.
50 - create a framework for patching modules before make, thanks to Storable.
51 - try to work around install phase changing thw cwd,m so instsrc . no
52 longer fails because the install dependency changed the cwd.
53 - restore PL_origfilename and $0 to argv[0] before running bootstrap,
54 so the script name is no longer '-e' in error messages and so on.
55 - PERL_VERSION can now be a full URL or a directory.
56 - default to stableperl.
57 - add -Uversiononly to Configure args, as it's required by staticperl, and
58 one of the many unrelated things usedevel needlessly toggles.
59
601.44 Tue Jul 7 01:32:49 CEST 2015
61 - added Net::SSLeay hint, tested and improved by gleeco.
62 - fix quoting bug, avoid failure when EXTRA_MODULES contains spaces.
63 - enable build_requires_install_policy to work around one of the myriad
64 bugs in Module::Build.
65 - support concurrent access to the DLCACHE.
66 - install ExtUtils::CBuilder early, to improve chances of succeeding
67 slightly by having a newer version.
68 - patch ExtUtils::CBuilder::Base::have_compiler to always return
69 false, as ExtUtils::CBuilder blindly builds shared libs on systems
70 that cannot build shared libs and modules relying on it usually
71 fail for similar reasons.
72 - set LD/CC/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS to work around the endlessly buggy ExtUtils::CBuilder,
73 which incidentally is a byproduct (read: garbage) of Module::Build.
74 - be more aggressive about post-install patching, to avoid stuff falling
75 through the cracks.
76 - override MAP_TARGET for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, as some modules
77 provide their own name for the perl binary (which is not what we want).
78 - update DynaLoader patch for current ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
79
801.43 Wed Apr 18 14:38:43 CEST 2012
81 - remove the temporary MakeMaker patch, as either Pod::Parser or
82 MakeMaker have been fixed. Also make sure we pull MakeMaker
83 from CPAN. This might fix the CPAN dependency problems with
84 newer perl versions (at least 5.14.2).
85 - staticperl mkperl or mkapp didn't clean up temporary files.
86 - PPI::XS seems to be broken, directly depend on PPI.
87
881.42 Mon Mar 5 08:16:02 CET 2012
89 - actually, really do it.
90
911.41 Mon Mar 5 08:14:11 CET 2012
92 - temporarily patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker because newer versions
93 break Pod::Parser.
94
951.4 Mon Jul 18 09:33:48 CEST 2011
96 - new configuration variable DLCACHE to avoid repeated downloads.
97 - the static:: namespace was wrongly documented as sttaicperl::.
98 - provide no compiler flags apart from -Os anymore by default.
99 - staticperl clean now removes all build files (src/).
100 - staticperl no longer sets EV_EXTRA_DEFS or CORO_INTERFACE.
101 - patch ExtUtils::Miniperl to always include DynaLoader, otherwise
102 static linking disables later dynamic linking and vice versa.
103 - (experimental) do not build a new perl unless a static archive
104 was created, to make -Dusedl faster.
105 - actually fail when not being able to install some modules from CPAN.
106 - speed up installing modules from CPAN if multiple modules have
107 been specified.
108 - weed out duplicated libraries form the beginning, not the end.
109 - set shell variable $PERL to full path to perl binary
110 when running staticperl cpan, which is handy for subshells.
111 - properly define "boot_DynaLoader" when DynaLoader is available.
112 - fix a memleak in static::list.
113 - mkbundle can now bundle dynamic objects for perl extensions
114 (--allow-dynamic).
115 - lots of windows workarounds/bugfixes.
116
1171.31 Tue Jun 14 09:03:59 CEST 2011
118 - pause is more tricky than expected - rename fake.pm to Staticperl.pm.
119 - improved documentation a bit.
120
1211.3 Tue May 10 19:39:39 CEST 2011
122 - the nothing-to-see-except-a-version-bump release.
123 - package a fake.pm file to (maybe!) get CPAN to allocate namespace
124 for us, as people have real trouble to install the distribution.

135 - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
136 Pango and Gtk2 build.
137 - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
138 often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
139 is a bug in Pango).
140 - create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
141 after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
142 - rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
143 - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
144 - new "staticperl perl" command.
145 - updated small/bigperl to 5.12.3.
