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
34 1.46 Tue 15 Feb 2022 19:25:09 CET
35 - when building an app ("mkapp"), staticperl freed the argv too
36 early, which causes memory corruption when perl is later
37 assigning to $0.
38 - default CPAN recommends_policy/suggests_policy to off.
39 - new bundle args: --extra-cflags, --extra-ldflags and --extra-libs.
40 - fix CBuilder workaround to actually use PERL_CFLAGS not PERL_CFLASGS.
41 - minor cosmetic fixes.
42
43 1.45 Fri Oct 19 23:26:54 CEST 2018
44 - work around weird, buggy and broken stacksize check in newer Storable.
45 - create a framework for patching modules before make, thanks to Storable.
46 - try to work around install phase changing thw cwd,m so instsrc . no
47 longer fails because the install dependency changed the cwd.
48 - restore PL_origfilename and $0 to argv[0] before running bootstrap,
49 so the script name is no longer '-e' in error messages and so on.
50 - PERL_VERSION can now be a full URL or a directory.
51 - default to stableperl.
52 - add -Uversiononly to Configure args, as it's required by staticperl, and
53 one of the many unrelated things usedevel needlessly toggles.
54
55 1.44 Tue Jul 7 01:32:49 CEST 2015
56 - added Net::SSLeay hint, tested and improved by gleeco.
57 - fix quoting bug, avoid failure when EXTRA_MODULES contains spaces.
58 - enable build_requires_install_policy to work around one of the myriad
59 bugs in Module::Build.
60 - support concurrent access to the DLCACHE.
61 - install ExtUtils::CBuilder early, to improve chances of succeeding
62 slightly by having a newer version.
63 - patch ExtUtils::CBuilder::Base::have_compiler to always return
64 false, as ExtUtils::CBuilder blindly builds shared libs on systems
65 that cannot build shared libs and modules relying on it usually
66 fail for similar reasons.
67 - set LD/CC/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS to work around the endlessly buggy ExtUtils::CBuilder,
68 which incidentally is a byproduct (read: garbage) of Module::Build.
69 - be more aggressive about post-install patching, to avoid stuff falling
70 through the cracks.
71 - override MAP_TARGET for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, as some modules
72 provide their own name for the perl binary (which is not what we want).
73 - update DynaLoader patch for current ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
74
75 1.43 Wed Apr 18 14:38:43 CEST 2012
76 - remove the temporary MakeMaker patch, as either Pod::Parser or
77 MakeMaker have been fixed. Also make sure we pull MakeMaker
78 from CPAN. This might fix the CPAN dependency problems with
79 newer perl versions (at least 5.14.2).
80 - staticperl mkperl or mkapp didn't clean up temporary files.
81 - PPI::XS seems to be broken, directly depend on PPI.
82
83 1.42 Mon Mar 5 08:16:02 CET 2012
84 - actually, really do it.
85
86 1.41 Mon Mar 5 08:14:11 CET 2012
87 - temporarily patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker because newer versions
88 break Pod::Parser.
89
90 1.4 Mon Jul 18 09:33:48 CEST 2011
91 - new configuration variable DLCACHE to avoid repeated downloads.
92 - the static:: namespace was wrongly documented as sttaicperl::.
93 - provide no compiler flags apart from -Os anymore by default.
94 - staticperl clean now removes all build files (src/).
95 - staticperl no longer sets EV_EXTRA_DEFS or CORO_INTERFACE.
96 - patch ExtUtils::Miniperl to always include DynaLoader, otherwise
97 static linking disables later dynamic linking and vice versa.
98 - (experimental) do not build a new perl unless a static archive
99 was created, to make -Dusedl faster.
100 - actually fail when not being able to install some modules from CPAN.
101 - speed up installing modules from CPAN if multiple modules have
102 been specified.
103 - weed out duplicated libraries form the beginning, not the end.
104 - set shell variable $PERL to full path to perl binary
105 when running staticperl cpan, which is handy for subshells.
106 - properly define "boot_DynaLoader" when DynaLoader is available.
107 - fix a memleak in static::list.
108 - mkbundle can now bundle dynamic objects for perl extensions
109 (--allow-dynamic).
110 - lots of windows workarounds/bugfixes.
111
112 1.31 Tue Jun 14 09:03:59 CEST 2011
113 - pause is more tricky than expected - rename fake.pm to Staticperl.pm.
114 - improved documentation a bit.
115
116 1.3 Tue May 10 19:39:39 CEST 2011
117 - the nothing-to-see-except-a-version-bump release.
118 - package a fake.pm file to (maybe!) get CPAN to allocate namespace
119 for us, as people have real trouble to install the distribution.
120
121 1.22 Sun May 1 11:28:54 CEST 2011
122 - prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
123 commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
124 using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
125 for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
126 - use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
127 - unset PERL_CORE and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
128 these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
129 instead.
130 - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
131 Pango and Gtk2 build.
132 - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
133 often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
134 is a bug in Pango).
135 - create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
136 after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
137 - rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
138 - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
139 - new "staticperl perl" command.
140 - updated small/bigperl to 5.12.3.
141
142 1.21 Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
143 - ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
144 by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
145 - some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
146 force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
147 forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
148 anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
149 - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
150 -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
151 - new hook: patchconfig.
152
153 1.2 Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
154 - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
155 keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
156 - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
157 for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
158 - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
159 (it fails to build extensions statically).
160 - use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).
161
162 1.11 Tue Mar 8 18:37:00 CET 2011
163 - no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
164 as it is no longer useful.
165 - fix output shortening in testsuite.
166
167 1.1 Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
168 - use a better -M syntax.
169 - the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
170 - --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
171 - embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
172 was used before defined.
173 - mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
174 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
175 - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
176 - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
177 - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
178 can be 0 (and is then ignored).
179 - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
180 - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
181 - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).
182
183 1.0 Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011
184 - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating
185 /usr/bin/perl.
186 - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris
187 (only in the testsuite).
188 - use curl -f instead of just curl.
189 - prefer curl over wget again, as cpan seems to do so.
190 - clarify license.
191
192 0.92 Wed Dec 22 02:09:19 CET 2010
193 - major rework of the PHASE 2 documentation section, hopefully
194 it's now more clear, more useful, more sexy.
195 - renamed --usepacklist to --usepacklists (--usepacklist still
196 supported as abbreviation).
197 - "properly" get rid of SITELIB paths, avoid using -U compiler flags
198 (which didn't even do anything...).
199 - avoid export var=value syntax for non-unix shells (solaris...).
200 - better output in the error case from the testsuite.
201
202 0.912 Wed Dec 15 01:14:26 CET 2010
203 - print a longer and hopefully useful message when Configure fails.
204 - remove PERL_CPPFLAGS, replace with PERL_CCFLAGS, which get appended
205 tot he ccflags, instead of overriding them.
206 - introduce PERL_CC.
207 - work around *bsd stupidity again, where even root can't replace
208 files with mv :/.
209 - stop command processing when a command fails (e.g. staticperl mkperl
210 will stop if the install step fails).
211 - let perl do most configuration when running make test, to increase
212 chances of success.
213
214 0.911 Sat Dec 11 16:50:41 CET 2010
215 - argl, testsuite had a duplicated test.
216 - use -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition for better portability.
217
218 0.91 Fri Dec 10 22:13:43 CET 2010
219 - add testsuite (yeah, should be optional - send patches).
220 - started to maintain two demo builds: bigperl and smallperl,
221 on http://staticperl.schmorp.de.
222 - implemented --staticlib option.
223 - special unicore/ compression (but much more could be done,
224 especially for the uncompressed case).
225 - implemented a strip cache, speeding up ppi stripping enourmously.
226 - implemented --include/--exclude options.
227 - try to port the tar call to freebsd (reported and analyzed
228 by Thomas Linden).
229 - (hopefully) better meaning of verbose levels.
230 - avoid deadlocking in --eval (unlikely, but possible).
231 - implement $STATICPERLRC.
232 - do all option AND bundle file processing with Getopt::Long,
233 to make maintenance easier.
234
235 0.9 Wed Dec 8 23:26:48 CET 2010
236 - support AutoLoader'ed functions with prototypes.
237 - new mkapp / --app option for mkbundle, to create
238 standalone applications.
239
240 0.2 Tue Dec 7 21:50:07 CET 2010
241 - make it work as non-root user.
242 - make module install/linking much more robust against
243 build and link failures, i.e. try to only install
244 the module when it was actualyl built successfully.
245 - split "install" phase into perl install and module
246 install, so fixing your postinstall hook takes less time.
247 - change make clean to delete the sources dir.
248 - add preconfigure hook.
249
250 0.1 Tue Dec 7 10:23:43 CET 2010
251 - initial release.
252
253 0.0 Mon Dec 6 10:44:38 CET 2010
254 - cloned from Convert::Scalar.
255
