15 - remove the temporary MakeMaker patch, as either Pod::Parser or
16 MakeMaker have been fixed. Also make sure we pull MakeMaker
17 from CPAN. This might fix the CPAN dependency problems with
18 newer perl versions (at least 5.14.2).
19 - staticperl mkperl or mkapp didn't clean up temporary files.
20 - PPI::XS seems to be broken, directly depend on PPI.
21
221.42 Mon Mar 5 08:16:02 CET 2012
23 - actually, really do it.
24
251.41 Mon Mar 5 08:14:11 CET 2012
26 - temporarily patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker because newer versions
27 break Pod::Parser.
28
291.4 Mon Jul 18 09:33:48 CEST 2011
30 - new configuration variable DLCACHE to avoid repeated downloads.
31 - the static:: namespace was wrongly documented as sttaicperl::.
32 - provide no compiler flags apart from -Os anymore by default.
33 - staticperl clean now removes all build files (src/).
34 - staticperl no longer sets EV_EXTRA_DEFS or CORO_INTERFACE.
35 - patch ExtUtils::Miniperl to always include DynaLoader, otherwise
36 static linking disables later dynamic linking and vice versa.
37 - (experimental) do not build a new perl unless a static archive
38 was created, to make -Dusedl faster.
39 - actually fail when not being able to install some modules from CPAN.
40 - speed up installing modules from CPAN if multiple modules have
41 been specified.
42 - weed out duplicated libraries form the beginning, not the end.
43 - set shell variable $PERL to full path to perl binary
44 when running staticperl cpan, which is handy for subshells.
45 - properly define "boot_DynaLoader" when DynaLoader is available.
46 - fix a memleak in static::list.
47 - mkbundle can now bundle dynamic objects for perl extensions
48 (--allow-dynamic).
49 - lots of windows workarounds/bugfixes.
50
511.31 Tue Jun 14 09:03:59 CEST 2011
52 - pause is more tricky than expected - rename fake.pm to Staticperl.pm.
53 - improved documentation a bit.
54
551.3 Tue May 10 19:39:39 CEST 2011
56 - the nothing-to-see-except-a-version-bump release.
57 - package a fake.pm file to (maybe!) get CPAN to allocate namespace
58 for us, as people have real trouble to install the distribution.
59
601.22 Sun May 1 11:28:54 CEST 2011
61 - prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
62 commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
63 using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
64 for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
65 - use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
66 - unset PERL_CORE and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
67 these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
68 instead.
69 - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
70 Pango and Gtk2 build.
71 - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
72 often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
73 is a bug in Pango).
74 - create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
75 after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
76 - rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
77 - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
78 - new "staticperl perl" command.
79 - updated small/bigperl to 5.12.3.
80
811.21 Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
82 - ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
83 by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
84 - some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
85 force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
86 forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
87 anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
88 - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
89 -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
90 - new hook: patchconfig.
91
921.2 Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
93 - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
94 keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
95 - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
96 for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
97 - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
98 (it fails to build extensions statically).
99 - use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).
100
1011.11 Tue Mar 8 18:37:00 CET 2011
102 - no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
103 as it is no longer useful.
104 - fix output shortening in testsuite.
105
1061.1 Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
107 - use a better -M syntax.
108 - the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
109 - --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
110 - embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
111 was used before defined.
112 - mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
113 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
114 - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
115 - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
116 - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
117 can be 0 (and is then ignored).
118 - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
119 - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
120 - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).
121
1221.0 Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011
123 - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating
124 /usr/bin/perl.
125 - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris
126 (only in the testsuite).
127 - use curl -f instead of just curl.
128 - prefer curl over wget again, as cpan seems to do so.
129 - clarify license.
130
1310.92 Wed Dec 22 02:09:19 CET 2010
132 - major rework of the PHASE 2 documentation section, hopefully
133 it's now more clear, more useful, more sexy.
134 - renamed --usepacklist to --usepacklists (--usepacklist still
135 supported as abbreviation).
136 - "properly" get rid of SITELIB paths, avoid using -U compiler flags
137 (which didn't even do anything...).
138 - avoid export var=value syntax for non-unix shells (solaris...).
139 - better output in the error case from the testsuite.
140
1410.912 Wed Dec 15 01:14:26 CET 2010
142 - print a longer and hopefully useful message when Configure fails.
143 - remove PERL_CPPFLAGS, replace with PERL_CCFLAGS, which get appended
144 tot he ccflags, instead of overriding them.
145 - introduce PERL_CC.
146 - work around *bsd stupidity again, where even root can't replace
147 files with mv :/.
148 - stop command processing when a command fails (e.g. staticperl mkperl
149 will stop if the install step fails).
150 - let perl do most configuration when running make test, to increase
151 chances of success.
152
1530.911 Sat Dec 11 16:50:41 CET 2010
154 - argl, testsuite had a duplicated test.
155 - use -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition for better portability.
156
1570.91 Fri Dec 10 22:13:43 CET 2010
158 - add testsuite (yeah, should be optional - send patches).
159 - started to maintain two demo builds: bigperl and smallperl,
160 on http://staticperl.schmorp.de.
161 - implemented --staticlib option.
162 - special unicore/ compression (but much more could be done,
163 especially for the uncompressed case).
164 - implemented a strip cache, speeding up ppi stripping enourmously.
165 - implemented --include/--exclude options.
166 - try to port the tar call to freebsd (reported and analyzed
167 by Thomas Linden).
168 - (hopefully) better meaning of verbose levels.
169 - avoid deadlocking in --eval (unlikely, but possible).
170 - implement $STATICPERLRC.
171 - do all option AND bundle file processing with Getopt::Long,
172 to make maintenance easier.
173
1740.9 Wed Dec 8 23:26:48 CET 2010
175 - support AutoLoader'ed functions with prototypes.
176 - new mkapp / --app option for mkbundle, to create
177 standalone applications.
8 178
90.2 Tue Dec 7 21:50:07 CET 2010 1790.2 Tue Dec 7 21:50:07 CET 2010
10 - make it work as non-root user. 180 - make it work as non-root user.
11 - make module install/linking much more robust against 181 - make module install/linking much more robust against
12 build and link failures, i.e. try to only install 182 build and link failures, i.e. try to only install
