Changes file for IPC::Run3

0.044 2010-08-22
ignore user-defined __DIE__ handler in _type (Jeff Lavallee) Added test for __DIE__ handler behavior

0.043 2009-05-30

        No code changes
        add repository location to META.yml
        avoid hand-written META.yml by using META_MERGE

0.042 2008-08-09

        No code changes
        Rewrite a test in t/utf8.t that runs afoul of a misfeature
          in Perl 5.8.0 (turn on ":utf8" by default on all filehandles
          when running in a UTF8 locale; fixed since 5.8.1)

0.041 2008-08-03

        Handle arbitrary binmode() layers in "binmode_*" options; for
          backward compatibility, any true option that doesn't start
          with ":" is treated as ":raw"
          NOTE: This does work for the built-in layers, e.g. ":utf8",
          but all bets are off for fancier stuff like ":via(...)" .
        Add an option "return_if_system_error" that causes run3()
          to refrain from throwing an exception when system() returns -1
          (cf. RT 14272).

0.040 2007-12-26

        major rewrite of pod: 
          - describe all possible forms of redirectors
          - list available options
          - explain how run3() works
        fix #31343 by using the three argument form of open() for files;
          unfortunately that isn't available before Perl 5.6.0, 
          hence "use 5.006_00"; also use lexical filehandles everywhere
        implement options append_{stdout,stderr}; add test cases
        edit META.yml so that the profiling modules IPC::Run3::Prof*
          (which aren't of general use) won't show on CPAN

0.039 2007-11-01
avoid some warnings while testing profiler (thanks, SCOP)

0.038 2007-10-08
remove use warnings for 5.005 compat (thanks, David Golden)

0.037 2006-09-19
document license more clearly for META.yml

0.036 2006-09-19
document more clearly the return value of run3

0.035 2006-07-27
remove requirement for Test::Pod and ::Coverage just to build

0.034 2005-12-12

        skip t/fork.t on MSWin32 (and Cygwin):
          Win32 threads (and fork() is emulated via threads) in the
          same process share the same STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR, hence
          the method used by run3() (redirect STD* and then call system())
          doesn't work here and IO crossover is to be expected -
          a possible alternative on Win32 would be to use CreateProcess
          which lets you explicitly specify three filehandles for the
          new process' STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR; however Win32::Process::Create()
          (from the libwin32 CPAN distribution) as omitted these
          parameters from the Perl wrapper
        add a note to the documentation about the problems with
          concurrent calls to run3 in a threaded environment 
          (incl. fork() on Win32)
        make sure all tests run with warnings on

0.033 2005-11-15

        make documentation in IPC/Run3/ProfReporter.pm comply with
          older versions of Pod::Coverage (fixes bug #15749)
        new version of t/fork.t that will work on Windows 
          (there are still unresolved issues on Cygwin)
        switch t/fd_leak.t to use Test::More and relax file descriptor check
          to "same or fewer fd's after the call to run3 than before", 
          because Darwin 7.2 sometimes actually report fewer fd's
          (fixes bug #15741)
        extricated some dead code from IPC/Run3.pm that 
          resulted in 6 unused file descriptors
        fix call to binmode missing a filehandle in IPC/Run3.pm
        fix warnings in test scripts

0.032 2005-10-19

        comaint granted to RSCHUPP (thanks, barry!)
        fix bug #15003 "Data corruption with fork when both parent 
          and child use run3": 
          - purge %fh_cache when we detect that a fork has happened
          - add t/fork.t to detect "crossover" between child processes
          - fix (and test) only works on Unix, Windows has more
            problems with run3 from a forked (pseudo) process
        fix prereq - should specify 0 (not 1) if any version will do
        added tests for redirection to/from filehandles to t/IPC-Run3.t
