- Apply podchecker patch from Michael Stevens RT #65601
- Apply patch from Phillip Moore RT #60916, which
fixes an edge-case with obj/ref @INC entries.
- Apply blead patch from Peter Acklam
- New release of version raises exceptions on
parse errors. Use eval to guard ourselves
against this.
- Apply patch from Pavel Shaydo RT #53546 to improve
the performance of parseversion()
- Remove DOS line endings from test files RT#50926
reported by Steve Hay
- Added DEPRECATED and support for determining if
a core module is loaded from perl lib path and
setting uptodate accordingly.
- This is a test-suite fix release only. Users of
0.28 need not upgrade.
- Address #42140: 01_Module_Load_Conditional.t support
VMS in UNIX compatible mode.
- Address #42282: test fail on MSWin32
- Add the directory the package was found in to the
return value of check_install()
- Address #32817: $INC{'Module/Load/Conditional.pm'}
isn't canonicalized under Win32. This exposed an
issue in the test suite under ActivePerl for Win32,
but not the code itself.
Users of 0.24 do not need to upgrade.
- Readdress #29348 to make sure version comparisons
handle alpha versions (XX_YY type) gracefully.
- Address #31680 to make sure $FIND_VERSION works
nicely with taint mode enabled.
- Promote 0.21_01 to stable. Users who already have
0.20 installed do not need to upgrade. This is merely
a test suit portability fix for perl 5.005
- Patch to make test-suite work with 5.005 weirdness
as reported by Slaven Rezic.
- Update directory depth of test files to be less
than 8 under perl core for old VAX and VMS
compatibility. Users who have installed 0.18 do
not need to upgrade.
- Promoted 0.17_02 to stable.
- Some more VMS fixes as suggested by John Malmberg
- Address #29348: Version compare logic doesn't
handle alphas? by always using qv() to compare
version strings.
- Most VMS specifics can now be removed from the
test suite, as we now depend on a newer version
of Module::Load, which will hide this all away.
- Address #23995: Version parsing code has been
improved and now partly relies on version.pm.
Previously, versions declared with qv() or
($VERSION) (note the braces) could fail to
parse under certain conditions.
- Add 02_Parse_Version.t to specifically test for
this behaviour.
- Skip $VERSION declarations that are part of the
POD as reported in #24062
- Make %INC look ups work correctly under win32,
where the directory seperator is not the same
as the %INC path seperator
