Editing File: /usr/share/doc/perl-Module-Runtime-0.013/Changes

version 0.013; 2012-02-16

* fix false failure of the test for lack of unintended dependencies
    that occurred on systems using a sitecustomize.pl

version 0.012; 2012-02-12

* work around Perl core bug [perl #68590] regarding leakage of %^H
    into modules being loaded

* work around Perl core bug that made a failed module loading appear
    successful when re-requiring the same module

* duplicate is_string() from Params::Classify, rather than importing it,
    to avoid circular dependency problems (affecting both installation
    and runtime)

* duplicate minimal exporting behaviour from Exporter, and avoid using
    the "feature", "warnings", "strict", and "parent" pragmata, to allow
    for possible future use of this module by any infrastructure module

* document core bug workarounds

* document module name syntax more prominently, and discuss the state
    of Unicode handling

* tweak documentation of use_package_optimistically()

* test behaviour with tainted module name

* test lack of unwanted eval frame around require

* give test modules more meaningful names

* convert .cvsignore to .gitignore

version 0.011; 2011-10-24

* bugfix: in require_module() and use_module(), work around a Perl
    core bug affecting Perl 5.8 and 5.10 that could pass the wrong
    context to the file scope of a required file, which breaks some
    modules; this bug would only rarely afflict the core's require()
    in situations where it would afflict require_module()

version 0.010; 2011-10-07

* bugfix: in use_package_optimistically(), fix regexp interpolation
    that broke operation if the module was loaded from a path containing
    metacharacters

version 0.009; 2011-10-04

* new function module_notional_filename()

* simplify behaviour of use_package_optimistically() to match simplified
    base.pm 2.18

version 0.008; 2011-05-16

* change usage of Params::Classify functions to take advantage of
    custom ops in Params::Classify 0.012

* use full stricture in test suite

* in Build.PL, complete declaration of configure-time requirements

* explicitly state version required of Params::Classify

* include META.json in distribution

* add MYMETA.json and MYMETA.yml to .cvsignore

version 0.007; 2010-03-19

* add "check_" functions for argument checking

* supply regexps to check module name and spec syntax

* in "is_" functions, also cleanly handle non-string arguments

* in require_module() (also affecting use_module()), call require()
    as a function (with appropriate name translation) instead of using
    string eval, to avoid unnecessary complication of exception handling

* provide the "is_valid_" functions under shorter "is_" names

* revise POD markup

* check for required Perl version at runtime

* in tests, supply test modules to avoid requiring unrelated math
    modules

* in Build.PL, explicitly declare configure-time requirements

* remove bogus "exit 0" from Build.PL

version 0.006; 2009-05-19

* bugfix: avoid unreliable "\w" in regexps in code

* document that module name syntax is restricted to ASCII

* use simpler "parent" pragma in place of "base"

* in documentation, use the term "truth value" instead of the less
    precise "boolean"

* use full stricture in Build.PL

version 0.005; 2007-09-17

* bugfix: override any ambient $SIG{__DIE__} handler when using eval { }

* use "base" pragma to import Exporter behaviour

* test POD syntax and coverage, and rename an internal function to
    satisfy the coverage test

* build with Module::Build instead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker

* complete dependency list

* include signature in distribution

* in documentation, separate "license" section from "copyright" section

version 0.004; 2007-08-12

* change choice of module to test use_package_optimistically(), because
    some old versions of Math::BigInt don't have a version number which
    was causing a false test failure

version 0.003; 2007-01-27

* loosen tests to work with perl v5.9's changed diagnostics

version 0.002; 2006-06-15

* new function use_package_optimistically() to duplicate the "base"
    pragma's quiet module loading

* insert missing bracket in documentation for use_module()

version 0.001; 2004-10-29

* new function use_module()

* document return value of require_module()

* more stringent tests for the return value of require_module()

* explicitly declare lack of module dependencies in Makefile.PL

* include Changes file

version 0.000; 2004-02-15

* initial released version
