Changes for version 1.00 - 2009-04-13

  • POD cleanup

Changes for version 0.99_02

  • use DynaLoader instead of XSLoader when the latter doesn't exist for better legacy compatibility (prefer XSLoader if available, though, as it uses less memory)

Changes for version 0.99_01

  • fix Makefile.PL getcwd redefined warnings on pre 5.6 perls
  • in Makefile.PL, never try to use Errno - just use POSIX qw(), since it's been in core since perl 5.
  • use Getopt::Long to simplify Makefile.PL
  • add experimental support for gcc w/ non-gcc perl on other (neither solaris nor hpux) OS's
  • add support for overriding CFLAGS via Makefile.PL -cflags=...
  • fix cc version display from info.t with perls built by !gcc
  • tweak the format of the TESTING file
  • add test cases: dragonflybsd, ia64/Intel CC with gcc perl
  • better, cleaner detection and handling of the gcc compiler being used with a non-gcc perl case.
  • silence warnings with old versions of MakeMaker related to LICENSE and NO_META not being understood
  • fix a bug with the perl version info emitted from info.t
  • add a configuration value want_pureperl which remembers if we want to use pureperl or XS. this fixes a problem with old/broken XS modules in the search path.
  • support gcc with non-gcc perl on hpux
