Revision history for Perl extension Win32API::Registry.

0.32: 2010-04-29

• Undo changes to move to Module::Build until I have more time to work out how I broke things.

0.31: 2009-09-15

• Fix pod error.

0.30_01: 2009-09-15

• Include LICENSE file. License for Win32API::Registry is same as what it is for Perl: Dual GPL v1 or higher and Artistic License.
• Move to using Module::Build so that META.yml is generated correctly.
• Reorganised files in archive to be a more modern layout mostly to make moving to Module::Build easier.

0.30: 2008-05-22

• Patch applied RT#35390: Win64 compatibility from JDB <JDB [...] cpan.org>
• Patch reinstates the ok output for commented test until I refresh the tests to use Test::More.
• Patch fixes issues with win64 alignment changes.
• Patch adds appropriate casts to eliminate compiler warnings.

0.29: 2008-04-11

• Fix missing seperator in Makefile error when using GNU Make by applying the patch from Reini Urban <RURBAN@cpan.org> RT#31849.
• Remove parameter from Makefile.PL that Makemaker no longer understands (EXTRA_META).

0.28: 2007-01-27

• Fix no_index: according to discussion on modules@perl.org 6-Jul-06 the correct no_index modifier is directory not dir.
• Comment out the test that shuts down the computer. (InitiateSystemShutdown)

0.27: 2006-04-04

• Fix no_index: on the Extutils directory now using the 6.30_01 version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

0.26: 2006-04-03

• Fix no_index: on the Extutils directory.

0.25: 2006-04-03

• Add no_index to META.yml to prevent indexing of modules under ExtUtils directory contained in the distribution.

0.24: 2006-03-22

• Allow it to build and install with Vanilla Perl 5.8.8 with mingw gcc 3.4.5 on Windows XP SP2 without warnings.

0.23: 2002-06-11

• Allow it to build with Perl 5.8 (is that here already?)
• Add DELETE/READ_CONTROL/WRITE_DAC/WRITE_OWNER/SYNCHRONIZE as KEY_*

0.22: 2000-04-10

• Add AUTHOR and ABSTRACT_FROM to Makefile.PL [from libwin32].
• Trivial speed improvements [from libwin32].
• Other minor fixes [from libwin32].

0.21: 2000-04-07

• For C<void vp; UV u>, C<u= U_V(vp)> corrected to C<u= (UV)(vp)>.
• Makefile no longer tries to rebuild constant definitions.
• Remove warning and fatal error from C<sub constant>.
• Added C</CONSTS_DEFINED/> to fix "WRITE_PERL=>0,CPLUSPLUS=>1" case.
• Added C<regConstant()> with better interface than C<constant()>.
• For C<BOOL> output, return C<PL_sv_no> [or a non-zero integer].
• For C<BOOL> input, treat C<"yes"> as true instead of as C<0>.
• Quietly translate C<[]> to C<0> for all integral arguments.
• C<AllowPriv()> and C<SystemShutdown()> now set C<regLastError()>.

0.20: 2000-03-20

• Use ppport.h from Devel::PPPort [C<na> changed to C<PL_na>].
• Improved how constants are done based on Perl5Porters suggestions [Added F<ExtUtils/Myconst2perl>, eventually to be part of MakeMaker].
• Added SE_* string constants.
• Disabled AUTOLOAD and the confusing error messages it generates.
• Replaced C<alloca()> with C<svgrow(sv_newmortal(),size)>.
• Allow support for build environments with no C<VALENTA>/C<VALENTW>.
• Use new F<buffers.h> which does typecast so can compile using C++.
• Changed MIN_GROW_SIZE from 8 to 128 so buffer sizes less needed.
• Update F<README>.
• Mention C<regLastError()> anywhere C<$^E> is mentioned.
• Repeat true/false return value documentation for each routine.
• Handles are now unsigned to match more accurate constant conversions.
• Fixed F<test.pl> to use C<regLastError()> instead of C<$^E>.

0.19: 2000-01-06 (limited release)

• Total and radical revamp of how constants are done.

0.18: Unreleased

• Added regLastError() for when C<$^E> gets overwritten too quickly.

0.17: 1999-07-29

• Fix failure detection for the misdocumented AdjustTokenPrivileges() that would cause AllowPriv() to sometimes return TRUE on failure.
• Finish new Hungarian notation, including POD documentation.
• Add prototypes to auto-loaded constants so Perl can optimize them.
• Fixed typo ("and" changed to "or") in example for RegCloseKey().

0.16: 1999-02-17

• Update to v1.09 of buffers.h; use new Hungarian notation.
• Added B<-w> to F<test.pl>.
• Don't warn when an output-only parameter starts out C<undef>.
• Die if output-only parameter is read-only (but not C<[]>).
• C<RegSetValueEx[AW](...REG_[EXPAND_]SZ,"val",0)> no longer fails trying to modify the read-only C<"val">.

0.15: 1998-09-17

• Don't treat unsigned types (eg. DWORD) as signed.

0.14: 1998-09-15

• Enable the C API for PERL_OBJECT builds (VC's cpp has a bug that's tickled by buffers.h under PERL_OBJECT, and there are various typecasting issues to resolve in the regular PERL_OBJECT build).

0.13: 1998-07-10

• Added "buffers.h" to standardized how buffer arguments are handled.
• Declared all return values as C<bool> [not C<LONG>].
• Minor adjustments to variable names (and Hungarian notation).
• Allow buffer sizes like C<"=99"> to prevent automatic resizing.
• Trim or add '\0' to REG_SZ values but only when buffer size omitted [for RegEnumValue(), RegQueryValueEx(), and RegSetValueEx()].
• POD finished.

0.12: 1997-12-29

• Add AllowPriv() function so can load and save keys.

0.11: 1997-11-17

• Don't set $! (Perl patched so $^E is used)
• Move KEY_NOTIFY to correct block of switch statement.
• Like sysread(): sv_setpvn(arg,"",0) if !SvOK(arg).
• Change buffer size behavior because DWORD is unsigned.
• Allow caller to omit all buffer size arguments.
• Don't try to overwrite read-only buffer size arguments.

0.10: 1997-10-29

• First release (alpha)

0.01: 1997-10-20
