* release 1.88_55
* new command 'report' as requested by Schwern in #22118
* extend the Distribution object to local directories. Gives a meaning
to the 'cpan .' command. Suggested by Slaven Rezic.
* removes the linux centric behaviour of t/30shell.t
* do not complain THAT often about uninstalled YAML or YAML::Syck; once
is per distro enough
2006-10-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.88_54
* New option 'yaml_module' to switch between YAML.pm and YAML::Syck
Try 'o conf init /yaml/' to use it.
* New distroprefs system that lets the user store arguments, environment
variables, individual answers to questions asked by Distributions when
being built, and config overrides. Try 'o conf init /prefs/' for more
information
* address #21144 major documentation bug: $obj->install is NOT the same
as CPAN::Shell->install($obj) as soon as a queue of dependencies comes
into play.
* fix "o conf defaults" which was broken in 1.88_53
* protect us against Module::Build errors with an eval around the
requires() and build_requires() calls.
2006-10-09 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.88_53
* wrapping Module::Build calls into an eval to catch external errors
with the right consequences.
* 'reload cpan' now based on timestamps and always jumps into a fresh
shell when needed
* display the version during loading of our own modules
* address #21692: make the "isa perl" case less noisy (Gabor Szabo)
* new tests
2006-10-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.88_52
* now does the right thing with prereq "perl"
* major speedup in parsing of index files
* repair debugging aid to display the correct line number
* fix bug introduced in _51 regarding Test::Harness version verification
* fix old bug in CPAN::Version wrt installed developer versions
2006-09-29 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.88_51
* dependencies declared as 'build_requires' are now treated according to
a new policy option: try 'o conf init build_requires_install_policy' for
more info. (Suggested/Requested by Johan Vromans)
* fixed a bug where successful tests were repeated if things were not
being installed like during the 'test' command itself.
* address #21724: document that the 'r' command takes arguments; support
the same arguments for the 'upgrade' command (Adam Kennedy)
* address #21716: fix the broken 'recent' command (Phil Pennock)
* fixed a rare but extremely unpleasant bug with deep recursion in
AUTOLOAD during the 'reload cpan' command.
2006-09-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.8801
* trivial bugfix: init dialog had a tweak that made it impossible to set
'ncftp' when 'ncftpget' was installed and configured.
2006-09-21 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.88
* For detailed changes since 1.87 see the entries in the Changes file.
For finer grained change log see the ChangeLog.svn file. The highlights
of this release are:
* convenient configuration: dialogs for individual items or groups of
items can be accessed with a single command (Courtesy Jim Cromie)
* experimental support for CPAN::Reporter: try
o conf init /test/
(Courtesy David Golden)
* make installation of scripts easier: try something like
install SREZIC/pingomatic-1.012
(Courtesy Slaven Rezic)
* colored output for better separation of process output, messages from
CPAN and warnings from CPAN: to turn colorization on/off try
o conf init /color/
* formatting of lists of modules now features a column to indicate
installed and updateable modules
* signature checking can now be turned on and off with 'o conf check_sigs'
* new command 'upgrade' installs newest version of all installed modules
* Please note a minor incompatibility: the init dialog now has reversed
semantics: it suggests automatic configuration that can be confirmed
with 'yes' instead of suggesting manual configuration that can be denied
with 'no'.
2006-09-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_65
* Hunting missing documentation with Test::Pod::Coverage because my
first try to use it started with a wrong copy&paste.
* Forward compatibility: bzip2 via Archive::Tar not dying anymore
2006-09-16 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_64
* added test for the urllist dialog
* added License to all pm files and to the Makefile.PL
* allow ranges in urllist dialog, as inspired by Andrew Strebkov
* allow "o conf init WORD WORD2..."
* address #21484: disable inactivity_timeout when d_alarm is not "define"
* regex in "o conf init MATCH" must now be enclosed in slashes as in all
other commands that allow regexes
* again tested with 5.8.0, this time with an UTF8 locale and it did
indeed not pass the 30test: turning LANG=C now for the 30shell test,
unconditionally
* all supported config variables now documented in the POD and added a
test to monitor changes in the future
2006-09-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_63
* should run on 5.8.0 now
* address #17973: always honour user defined URLs over default URLs
2006-09-11 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_62
* make term_ornaments switchable while running (was only checked during
initialization)
* verify that color settings are applicable (bad colors were killing the
shell process completely)
* improve wording and logic when user is offline and tries to run
the urllist dialog. (Address debian bug #380551)
2006-09-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_61
* configuation of urllist uses a local urllist instead of the global
configured one: prevents that ^C accidentally kills the currently
configured urllist
* configuration of urllist: if there is already a previous pick, one can
go through the dialog with RETURN only
* new options to get colored output: colorize_output, colorize_print,
colorize_warn
2006-09-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_59: "o conf init MATCH" finally works and can be used to
jump into the configuration dialog and select an arbitrary subset of
questions.
* perl -I. -MCPAN ... now works because we replaced C<no lib .> with
rel2absing the INC (suggested by Slaven Rezic)
2006-08-31 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_58: work is still in progress to get "o conf init MATCH"
working (finishing the epochal Jim Cromie patches) but all tests pass
* initial configuration dialogue now has reversed meaning: automatic
configuration can be confirmed with 'yes' instead of having to deny
manual configuration with 'no'
* fix a bug reported by David Golden, that Bundle::CPAN is never
uptodate. Fixing it by special-casing readline.pm in the inst_file
method. See also #17963.
* Address #18196 once again because people have still MakeMaker < 6.18
installed.
2006-08-26 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_57

* release 1.87_54
* fix #18165: new config option term_ornaments
* fix #20272: FirstTime::init did not preserve the space that signifies
"disabled program"
2006-07-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_53
* make *scripts* (as opposed to modules) installable when the path of
the distro is given: you can now 'install ANDK/keepcool-0.344' and it is
stored as 'keepcool'
* the m command displays one column more: an equals sign if we have this
version installed, a less-than sign if our installed version of the
module is smaller and a space if we do not have this thing installed
* fix #18438: weird dependency chain issue that broke
amavis/SpamAssassin
* fix #20168: when a user has neither Module::Signature nor gnupg, do
not warn them
* patch by Matisse Enzer to support authenticating proxies

* release 1.87_51
* patch by Max Maischein to quote commands that contain spaces as is
often the case on Windows systems (addresses #17877)
* do not display DSLIP_STATUS when it is empty; same thing for MANPAGE
* add a security advice to the manpage
* do not advertise Bundle::CPAN when a new CPAN is available, CPAN alone
should do
2006-02-27 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87
* new method dslip_status for Module objects
* no t/dot-cpan/ directory in the distro anymore and removed after test
* bugfix: when make clean failed, we did not list this as a fail
* more tests in t/30shell.t, sub coverage on CPAN.pm now >75%
2006-02-23 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.86_53
* t/30shell emits two test headers (fixes #17816; Adam Kennedy)
* make Tarzip work better on uncompressed files; fixes test failure of
test t/12cpan.t work under some conditions
* t/30shell now skips tests that need uninstalled prerequisites and so
passes all tests on a bare 5.8.8 for me when CPAN_RUN_SHELL_TEST is set
2006-02-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.86_52
* simplification of the concepts of home and of the CPAN/MyConfig.pm and
the CPAN/Config.pm. There were too many places that tried to do the same
thing. Should now be centralized and consistent.
2006-02-21 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.86_51
* replace the concept of $ENV{HOME} with File::HomeDir (fixes #17759;
Adam Kennedy)
* remove a spurious CARRIAGE RETURN in the Todo file: it broke
Module::Signature on Windows (fixes #17746; Adam Kennedy)
* return empty string instead of undef when HAVE_MAKE is false (fixes
#17768; Adam Kennedy)
* do not try to use $CPAN::Frontend before it exists (fixes #17770; Adam
Kennedy)
* t/12cpan.t now behaves on 5.004 and 5.005
* t/30shell.t now can be run without Expect; needs to be enabled with
environment variable CPAN_RUN_SHELL_TEST in this case
* more testing in 30shell.t
2006-02-20 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.86
* quick fix for a bug in the Checksums checking code: if the cache had
an old copy, it was in some cases not updated and if the file-to-check
was newer, a false alarm was triggered.
* I expect a 1.87 soonish, because we have open bugs: test 12cpan.t not
suited for old perls; test for the above bug missing.
2006-02-19 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.85
* Fix for 'install Bundle:CPAN' on Windows machines (closes #17699; Adam
Kennedy)
* Make a separate distro for Bundle::CPAN (works around the bug for
older versions of CPAN)
* Another fix for bundles: in some cases CPAN.pm installed an older
bundle than the most recent
* more tests: CPAN.pm subroutine coverage now at 71.4%
2006-02-15 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.84

with new "failed" command and in many other places; new config variable
ftp_passive is on by default; new command mkmyconfig; Module::Build
support should now work on Windows and work better on all platforms; new
methods for programmers CPAN::Module::distribution and
CPAN::Distribution::author; improved docs; prettier output; and last not
least a heavy dose of refactoring, bugfixing, and testing

* release 1.83_64 (potential release candidate for 1.84)
* bugfix: when M:B specifies both requires AND build_requires AND then
has no YAML to write the META.yml file, THEN we did not merge the two
requiries. Seen in KCLARK/Text-RecordParser-v1.0.0.tar.gz.
2006-02-01 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>

together with the perl (fixes #17313; thanks to carl at fireartist for
the report and a patch skeleton)

* bugfix: better switches for the call to curl
* bugfix: more checks after lynx if the command was successful or not
* docs: revisited the FAQ section
* bugfix: if a META.yml specified a prerequisite module that we do not

the unknown thing
2006-01-25 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.83_59
* new config variable ftp_passive which causes $ENV{FTP_PASSIVE} to be
set; fixes #17266 (Adam Kennedy)

it if it is obsolete; fixes a bug where a postponed distro could be lost
from the queue
* output of as_glimpse more space efficient
2006-01-19 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.83_57
* bugfix rt #17131 (Lee Goddard): better error messages on two
unrecoverable errors that require user intervention
* shell.t improved again: now the output reads really similar to a shell
session so we can determine which problems were leading to a failing
test
2006-01-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.83_56

on more platforms.
2006-01-12 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.83_53
* bugfix: if we have no YAML and no Makefile, we could not determine
prereqs. Now fixed by using Module::Build.
* bugfix: b command on unpublished bundles was broken due to wrong
handling of missing RO elements.
* bugfix: do not die when you cannot verify a signature, proceed with a
fail instead.
* new command "failed" reports about failed invocations of make, test or
install on CPAN::Distribution objects.
* Jim's bold fight against the FirstTime dragons continues.
2006-01-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>

* envariable CPAN_SHELL_LEVEL now available for subshells (Slaven Rezic)
* enable date/time warnings without the help of HTTP::Date (inspired by
a bogus bugreport on perl monks that was only due to wrong system time)
* bugfix: hide CPAN::Config from the indexer
* provide a more traditional style ChangeLog and Changes file
2006-01-05 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.82 and 1.83 are quick bugfix releases.
2006-01-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.81 adds on top of 1.80_58:
* bugfix: completion of debug options was not case insensitive
* bugfix: installation of distributions was broken for distros
not mentioned in the index
* include a hint that su might work as well as sudo in the dialog
about make_install_make_command and mbuild_install_build_command
* add Module::Signature to the Bundle and move Digest::SHA higher
up so they start working as soon as possible
* improve the dialog that ensues when bad signatures are
encountered
2006-01-01 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.80_58 was a quick bugfix release
2005-12-31 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.80_57 adds on top of 1.80_56 the following:
* prerequisites fixed: File::Temp was missing in PREREQ_PM and
Bundle
* reduce noise when $Debug is on
* improved handling of whitespace in filenames (Roland Bauer;
rt.cpan.org #3201)
* add the Module::Build configuration parameters to the required
parameters (thus users are relayed to the init dialog)
* import less symbols
* enhanced robustness if cwd gets removed while we're running
(Rhet Turnbull; rt.cpan.org #321)
* add "notest" to the completion table
* enhanced robustness when untar is failing or poses permission
problems
* iron out some buglets in the "ls GLOB" code
* enhanced robustness on "reload cpan" when the path to CPAN.pm
has changed
* replace some hash accesses with method calls for a cleaner
interface (Work in Progress; no user-visible changes)
* do not fail anymore when finding empty files left over from a
previous unsuccessful download
* uptodate message more descriptive (Adam Kennedy; rt.cpan.rg
#15580)
2005-12-17 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.80_56 is a release candidate for 1.81
* integrate release 1.5 of brian's cpan script from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/brian-d-foy/
* Support for Module::Build: to set the preference for
Module::Build over MakeMaker, run
o conf prefer_installer MB
o conf commit
* ls command supports globbing; these work nicely:
ls KWILLIAMS/P*
ls JV/make*
this works too but is slow:
ls */*make*
* META.yml data replace the Makefile parsing code if YAML
available (compensating for the frequent wrong usage of the
requires element)
* support SHA256; stop using MD5
* support bzip2 compression; can be tested with 'install
ARTURAZ/Net-Vypress-Chat-0.72.1.tar.bz2'; the CPAN indexer does
not yet index bz2 distros but will probably start to do so as soon
as CPANPLUS supports bzip2
* tiny tweaks to make CPAN.pm run on a busybox (Guillaume Filion)
* bugfix: major speedup on all commands that need expansion of
regular expressions to module names
* prettier r command output: the 4th column of the 'r' command
drops the redundant X/XX/ prefix
* tolerant when you type one colon instead of two on module names
2005-12-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* this is release 1.80
* support for Module::Signature courtesy Autrijus Tang
* separated out new module CPAN::Version that has muchly improved
support for multidot version notation that should make the
deployment of version.pm easy for everybody. During the last weeks
the indexer on PAUSE also got improved version.pm support and
spits out numified versions. This release is optimized for the new
version handling, regardless if used with or without version.pm
(Thanks to John Peacock and to Graham Barr for their help)

* support for sudo in the config variable
'make_install_make_command' courtesy Michael Richardson

* cleanup internal use of CPAN::Frontend courtesy David Storrs
* fixes to distro bugs by Adriano Ferreira

* better completion for config variables and a new warning if an
unregistered config variable is being set
* improved some error messages
