Revision history for Perl extension IPC::System::Simple.

1.21 Tue Mar 23 12:08:47 AUSEST 2010

• TEST: t/win32.t has more sane handling of skipped and unimplimented tests.
• TEST: Author tests no longer leave the permissions of not_an_exe.txt permanently changed.
• BUGFIX: capture/capturex no longer break STDOUT when running an unknown command under Windows. Many thanks to Jan Krynicky for a fix. (RT #48319)
• BUILD: Upgraded to Module::Install 0.93.

1.20 Sat Jan 9 15:08:41 AUSEST 2010

• TEST: t/win32.t no longer claims to have more tests than it really has. This fixes an install issue under Windows. RT #53124. Thanks to Erez Schatz and Curtis Jewell for spotting this.

1.19 Fri Dec 4 14:14:25 AUSEST 2009

• TEST: Added tests to ensure correct behaviour when calling commands in Windows which are contained in directories that contain spaces. (These tests are currently skiped, as they're testing for a known bug.)
• BUGFIX: Spurious warnings about redefining POSIX macros no longer plague Windows systems.

1.18 Sun Feb 8 19:09:15 AUSEDT 2009

• BUGFIX: IPC::System::Simple should now compile cleanly under 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 (as well as 5.6.2+). Many thanks to David Golden for spotting this bug. (RT #43098)
• DOCUMENTATION: "Advanced" is now spelt correctly under in the section "Advanced Usage". Many thanks to Raymond Wan for spotting this typo. (RT #42705)

1.17 Fri Dec 19 00:45:16 AUSEDT 2008

• TEST: Tests to ensure that passing undefined values to systemx() do not produce malformed errors, but instead well-formed errors. Many thanks to Nadim Khemir for spotting this. RT #41149.
• BUGFIX: Workaround for a bug under Perl 5.10 where on some platforms coredumps were not being reported in $?. Many thanks to the Debian Perl folks for finding this, particularly Gregor Herrmann.
• TEST: Better diagnostics from t/08_core.t.
• TEST: t/08_core.t now cleans up its core files after running. Thanks to Gregor Herrmann for spotting this.
• TEST: t/08_core.t is now a main test, rather than an author-only test.
• BUGFIX: Attempting to call an undefined command is now a fatal error.
• VERSION: Since ISS is now very stable, and provides a significantly improved interface to the default system() command, the major version number has been incremented.

  There are no incompatible changes with previous version. The increment of the major version number is to indicate stability only.
