Revision history for Perl extension Authen::PAM.

0.16 2005-Sep-20

export the PAM_BINARY_PROMPT message type
minor fix in the configure script for testing DL_LOAD_FLAGS
added an entry in the FAQ about PAM_AUTHTOK and PAM_OLDAUTHTOK
some code cleanup by Alexey Tourbin
changed the typemap of pam_handle_t* to T_PTRREF; this should fix warnings and some segmentation faults when using 64-bit ints (thanks to Walter Vaughan)
restored test 11 for the object oriented interface

0.15 2004-Nov-8

small changes to the FAQ
fixed pam_start to pass NULL to PAM if no user is given (thanks to Angus Lees)
the test script will die if it cannot find a tty
if the test script cannot obtain the username it will force PAM to ask for it
removed some trivial tests
the user can now abort the conversation function by returning some error code (thanks to Penelope Fudd)

0.14 2003-Jan-22

upgraded to autoconf 2.53 and did a major rewrite of the configure script
the changes in the autoconf scripts in the last version had a bug which would prevent correct configuration if a config.cache file exists, e.g if you run ./configure twice
added a test for pam_appl.h in the configure script
added support for PAM on Darwin and Mac OS X (thanks to David Wheeler)
preliminary support for HP-UX 11.0
fixed parsing of -D arguments on the command line (thanks to Jens Rehsack)

0.13 2002-Feb-25

the test script returns the number of failed tests (except test 10) so that 'make test' can fail
fixed the code for loading constant symbols on systems with non-english system locale (thanks to Andrzej Kukula)
better test for pam_strerror (thanks to Dag-Erling Smorgrav)
support for OpenPAM (thanks to Dag-Erling Smorgrav)

0.12 2001-Jul-10

some simplifications of the configure script
the format of the conversation messages seems to be different on Solaris and Linux-PAM and I tried to accomodate for this
a number of PAM error codes were not exported

0.11 2000-Dec-06

reorganized the PAM.xs for easier support of callback functions
added support for user (perl) defined fail_delay function
the pam_fail_delay function was not exported
fixed a bug when calling pam_set_item($pamh, PAM_CONV_FUNC, ...)
the PAM.xs now compiles on perl 5.6 (thanks to Roland Pope)
the compiler can be changed by setting the environment variable CC before calling 'perl Makefile.PL'

0.10 2000-May-02

fixed some small problems with the constructor 'new' (thanks to <wil at langford.net>)
added a FAQ file
added PAM_CONV_AGAIN and PAM_INCOMPLETE constants from the new versions of the Linux PAM library

0.09 2000-Feb-03

fixed a bug in PAM.xs when more than one messages are given to the conversation function (thanks to Oleg Bulavsky)
small changes to the test script
several old constant symbols are exported only on request; also created two tags :constants and :functions for easier exporting only some of the symbols

0.08 1999-Sep-13

fixed a bug when returning empty strings from the conversation function (thanks to Eric Einhorn)

0.07 1999-Jun-08

the test script now gets the user name from the real user id
restored back the file Makefile.PL and modified the configuration process so that the module is now build in the standard way
added a dummy file d/PAM.pm so that CPAN can find the version number and the docs (thanks to Graham Barr)

0.06 1999-May-19

the test script now passes to pam the current tty which is needed by some authentication modules (e.g. pam_securetty)
some of the test programs in configure need to be linked with -ldl under Linux
the default converstation function now uses termios functions to turn off the echo (thanks to Charlie Brady)

0.05 1999-Mar-23

the package is now configured with a `configure' script
the module can now be used with FreeBSD 3.1 PAM library (thanks to Adrian Pavlykevych)
removed the PAM_AUTHTOK and PAM_OLDAUTHTOK constants because they can be used only by modules
the test script now returns the pam error code for tests which fail

0.04 1998-Oct-30

in the previous version the HAVE_PAM_ENV_FUNCTIONS was incorrectly commented by default
added a workaround for a bug in the solaris 2.6 pam library (tanks to Dawn Whiteside)
the distribution now includes the xsubpp patch
added a call to the pam_authenticate function to the test program

0.03 1998-Oct-06

added support for the earlier versions of Linux-PAM without env functions (those before version 0.54)
fixed some compiler warnings

0.02 1998-Jun-09

the module is now compatible with Solaris 2.6 PAM library (thanks to Lupe Christoph)
added object oriented interface
added default value for $flags argument for most of the functions
