Revision history for the Perl Win32-IPC modules.

1.08 December 11, 2010

• Localize $@ when using eval
• Includes a CPAN Meta v2 META.json file.
• The passthrough Makefile.PL has been removed.

1.07 April 16, 2008

• There are no significant functional changes in 1.07. If you've already installed 1.06, don't bother upgrading.
• Give a more useful error message if Module::Build is not installed
• Don't bother to test $! after fetching constant('INFINITE')
• Added LICENSE AND COPYRIGHT section to documentation

1.06 April 15, 2008

• *** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE ***

  Passing undef as the value of an optional parameter is now the same as omitting that parameter. In previous versions, undef was interpreted as either the empty string or 0 (along with a warning about "Use of uninitialized value...").

  In particular, if you pass undef as the timeout, it now means INFINITE, but to previous versions it meant 0.

• The modules now use XSLoader instead of DynaLoader.
• Copied Yves Orton's fix (from Win32::ChangeNotify 1.04) so "a true value" no longer has to be a non-zero number to all relevant places.
• Win32::IPC and its subclasses are now distributed separately from libwin32 (which has been broken up). Prior to this release, each module had its own Changes file, and their version numbers were not synchronized. Those files are appended below.
