108
1093.13_01 - Sat Jan 29 12:45:00 CET 2012
110  - ExtUtils::Typemaps:
111    => Embedded typemap dumping: A method which will produce the
112       verbatim string for inclusion in XS.
113    => Introducing ExtUtils::Typemaps::Cmd, a helper module which
114       can produce embedded typemap strings via simple one-liners.
115       Useful for including typemaps from other modules in XS code
116       with INCLUDE_COMMAND. See "perldoc ExtUtils::Typemaps::Cmd".
117
118  - ExtUtils::ParseXS:
119    => Bugfix: Used to have parsing problems with embedded typemaps
120       occasionally.
121    => Better error messages on typemap-related issues. If a no
122       typemap was found for a given C type, list all mapped C types
123       so that the user hopefully spots his mistake easily.
124
1253.11 - Thu Dec 29 17:55:00 CET 2011

133    (Nothing serious, just happened sometimes when reporting line numbers for

135
1363.07 - Wed Dec  7 14:10:00 CET 2011
137  - Fix inconsistent versioning in 3.06.
138
1393.06 - Fri Dec  2 08:10:00 CET 2011
140
141  - Fix Cygwin issues [Tony Cook]
142    avoid conflicting static / dllexport on legacy perls too
143    This probably fixes rt.cpan.org 72313 and 71964.
144    (3928a66ad4bd8aee704eda1942b7877c0ff1ab2c in core)
145
146  - Convert ` to ' [James Keenan]
147    55bee391aeff3c3b8d22fa4ce5491ee9440028aa and
148    6dfee1ec62c64d7afe8ced4650596dd9e7f71a63 in core
149
150  - Avoid some test-time warnings [Zefram]
151    97bae9c59cd181b3b54061213ec1fdce0ccb30d4 in core
152
1533.05 - Wed Oct  5 08:14:00 CET 2011
154
155  - No functional changes, promoted to stable release.
156
1573.04_04 - Mon Sep 12 08:12:00 CET 2011
158
159  - Simplify generated XS code by emitting a compatibility version
160    of dVAR. [Nicholas Clark]
161
162  - Fixed "INCLUDE: $cmd |", CPAN RT #70213
163
1643.04_03 - Sun Sep  4 18:49:00 CET 2011
165
166  - By #defining PERL_EUPXS_ALWAYS_EXPORT or
167    PERL_EUPXS_NEVER_EXPORT early in your XS code, you can
168    force ExtUtils::ParseXS to always or never export
169    XSUB symbols. This has no effect on boot_* symbols since
170    those must be exported.
171
1723.04_02 - Sat Sep  3 15:28:00 CET 2011
173
174  - Don't put null characters into the generated source
175    file when -except is used; write the '\0' escape sequence
176    properly instead. [Stephen Bennett]
177
1783.04_01 - Sun Aug 28 17:50:00 CET 2011
179
180  - The XSUB.h changes to make XS(name) use XS_INTERNAL(name)
181    by default (which were in the 5.15.2 dev release of perl)
182    have been reverted since too many CPAN modules expect to
183    be able to refer to XSUBs declared with XS(name).
184    Instead, ExtUtils::ParseXS will define a copy of the
185    XS_INTERNAL/XS_EXTERNAL macros as necessary going back to
186    perl 5.10.0 (which is the oldest perl I had for testing).
187    By default, ExtUtils::ParseXS will use XS_INTERNAL(name)
188    instead of XS(name).
189
1903.04 - Thu Aug 25 08:20:00 CET 2011
191
192  - Stable release based on 3.03_03, no functional changes.
193
1943.03_03 - Wed Aug 24 19:43:00 CET 2011
195
196  - Try to fix regression for input-typemap override in XS argument
197    list. (CPAN RT #70448)
198
199  - Explicit versions in submodules to fail early if something
200    goes wrong.
201
2023.03_02 - Sun Aug 21 13:19:00 CET 2011
203
204  - Properly strip trailing semicolons form inputmaps. These could
205    trigger warnings (errors in strict C89 compilers) due to
206    additional semicolons being interpreted as empty statements.
207    [Torsten Schoenfeld, Jan Dubois, Steffen Mueller]
208
209  - Now detects and throws a warning if there is a CODE section using
210    RETVAL, but no OUTPUT section. [CPAN RT #69536]
211
212  - Uses the explicit XS_EXTERNAL macro (from perl 5.15.2 and newer)
213    for XSUBs that need to be exported. Defines XS_EXTERNAL to fall
214    back to XS where that is not available.
215
216  - Introduces new EXPORT_XSUB_SYMBOLS XS keyword that forces exported
217    XSUB symbols. It's a no-op on perls before 5.15.2.
218
2193.03 - Thu Aug 11 08:24:00 CET 2011
220
221  - Test fix: Try all @INC-derived typemap locations. (CPAN RT #70047)
222    [Mike Sheldrake]
223
2243.02 - Thu Aug  4 18:19:00 CET 2011
225
226  - Test fix: Use File::Spec->catfile instead of catdir where appropriate.
227
2283.01 - Thu Aug  4 17:51:00 CET 2011
229
230  - No significant changes from 3.00_05.
231
2323.00_05 - Wed Jul 27 22:54:00 CET 2011
233
234  - Define PERL_UNUSED_ARG for pre-3.8.9 perls.
235    This should fix the tests on those perls.
236
2373.00_04 - Wed Jul 27 22:22:00 CET 2011
238
239  - Require perl 5.8.1.
240
241  - Patches from CPAN RT #53938, #61908
242    Both of these are attempts to fix win32 problems:
243    Bug #61908 for ExtUtils-ParseXS: MSWin compilers and back-slashed paths
244    Bug #53938 for ExtUtils-ParseXS: MinGW Broken after 2.21
245
2463.00_03 - Fri Jul 22 20:13:00 CET 2011
247
248  - Add some diagnostics when xsubpp fails to load a current-enough
249    version of ExtUtils::ParseXS. [Steffen Mueller]
250
251  - Add a check to Makefile.PL that scans @INC to determine whether
252    the new xsubpp will be shadowed by another, existing xsubpp
253    and warn the user vehemently. [Steffen Mueller]
254
2553.00_02 - Thu Jul 14 18:00:00 CET 2011
256
257  - Move script/xsubpp back to lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp
258    The original move caused old xsubpp's to be used.
259
2603.00_01 - Tue Jul 12 22:00:00 CET 2011
261
262  - Major refactoring of the whole code base.
263    It finally runs under 'use strict' for the first time!
264    [James Keenan, Steffen Mueller]
265
266  - Typemaps can now be embedded into XS code using a here-doc
267    like syntax and the new "TYPEMAP:" XS keyword.
268    [Steffen Mueller]
269
270  - Move typemap handling code to ExtUtils::Typemaps
271    with full object-oriented goodness. [Steffen Mueller]
272
273  - Check API compatibility when loading xs modules.
274    If on a new-enough perl, add the XS_APIVERSION_BOOTCHECK macro to
275    the _boot function of every XS module to compare it against the API
276    version the module has been compiled against. If the versions do
277    not match, an exception is thrown. [Florian Ragwitz]
278
279  - Fixed compiler warnings in XS. [Zefram]
280
281  - Spell-check [Peter J. Acklam]
282

309
310 Bug fixes:

320   [Reported by Serdar Dalgic; fix suggested by Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
321
322   We apologize for the fault in the regex. Those responsible
323   have been sacked.

475   [Nicholas Clark]
476
477 - Sprinked dVAR in with dXSARGS, for God-(Jarkko)-knows-what
478   reason. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
479
480 - Use printf-style formats in Perl_croak() for some significant
481   savings in number of distinct constant strings in the linked
482   binaries we create. [Alexey Tourbin]
483
484 - Don't use 'class' as a variable name in the t/XSTest.xs module,
485   since that's a keyword in C++. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
486
4872.16  Fri Sep 15 22:33:24 CDT 2006
488
489 - Fix a problem with PREFIX not working inside INTERFACE
490   sections. [Salvador Fandin~o]
491
4922.15  Mon Oct 10 11:02:13 EDT 2005
493
494 - I accidentally left out a README from the distribution.  Now it's
495   auto-created from the main documentation in ExtUtils/ParseXS.pm.
496
4972.14  Sat Oct  8 21:49:15 EDT 2005
498
499 - The filehandle for the .xs file was never being properly closed,
500   and now it is.  This was causing some Win32 problems with
501   Module::Build's tests, which create a .xs file, process it with
502   ParseXS, and then try to remove it. [Spotted by Randy Sims]
503
5042.13  Mon Oct  3 21:59:06 CDT 2005
505
506 - Integrate a cleanup-related change from bleadperl that somehow
507   never got into this copy. [Steve Hay]
508
5092.12  Wed Aug 24 20:03:09 CDT 2005
510
511 - On Win32, there was a DLL file we create during testing that we
512   couldn't delete unless we closed it first, so testing failed when
513   the deletion was attempted.  This should now work (provided the
514   version of perl is high enough to have DynaLoader::dl_unload_file()
515   - I'm not sure what will happen otherwise). [Steve Hay]
516
517 - Fix a spurious warning during testing about a variable that's used
518   before it's initialized. [Steve Hay]
519
5202.11  Mon Jun 13 23:00:23 CDT 2005
521
522 - Make some variables global, to avoid some "will not stay shared"
523   warnings at compile time. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
524
5252.10  Mon May 30 21:29:44 CDT 2005
526
527 - This module is being integrated into the perl core; the regression
528   tests will now work properly when run as part of the core build.
529   [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
530
531 - Added the ability to create output files with a suffix other than
532   ".c", via the new "csuffix" option.  This gets the module working
533   on Symbian. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
534
535 - Added the ability to put 'extern "C"' declarations in front of
536   prototypes. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
537
5382.09  Sun Mar 27 11:11:49 CST 2005
539
540 - Integrated change #18270 from the perl core, which fixed a problem
541   in which xsubpp can make nested comments in C code (which is
542   bad). [Nicholas Clark]
543
544 - When no "MODULE ... PACKAGE ... PREFIX" line is found, it's now
545   still a fatal error for ParseXS, but we exit with status 0, which
546   is what the old xsubpp did and seems to work best with some modules
547   like Win32::NetAdmin.  See RT ticket 11472. [Steve Hay]
548
5492.08  Fri Feb 20 21:41:22 CST 2004
550
551 - Fixed a problem with backslashes in file paths (e.g. C:\Foo\Bar.xs)
552   disappearing in error messages. [Randy Sims, Steve Hay]
553
554 - Did a little minor internal code cleanup in the
555   ExtUtils::ParseXS::CountLines class, now other classes don't poke
556   around in its package variables.
557
5582.07  Sun Jan 25 17:01:52 CST 2004
559
560 - We now use ExtUtils::CBuilder for testing the compile/build phase
561   in the regression tests.  It's not necessary to have it for runtime
562   usage, though.
563
564 - Fixed a minor documentation error (look in 'Changes' for revision
565   history, not 'changes.pod'). [Scott R. Godin]
566
5672.06  Fri Dec 26 09:00:47 CST 2003
568
569 - Some fixes in the regression tests for the AIX platform.
570
5712.05  Mon Sep 29 10:33:39 CDT 2003
572
573 - We no longer trim the directory portions from the "#line " comments
574   in the generated C code.  This helps cooperation with many editors'
575   auto-jump-to-error stuff. [Ross McFarland]
576
577 - In some cases the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro is needed to get rid of C
578   compile-time warnings in generated code.  Since this eliminates so
579   many warnings, turning on "-Wall -W" (or your platform's
580   equivalent) can once again be helpful. [Ross McFarland]
581
582 - Did a huge amount of variable-scoping cleanup, and it *still*
583   doesn't compile under 'use strict;'.  Much progress was made
584   though, and many scoping issues were fixed.
585
5862.04  Thu Sep  4 13:10:59 CDT 2003
587
588 - Added a COPYRIGHT section to the documentation.  [Spotted by Ville
589   Skytta]
590
5912.03  Sat Aug 16 17:49:03 CST 2003
592
593 - Fixed a warning that occurs if a regular expression (buried deep
594   within the bowels of the code here) fails.  [Spotted by Michael
595   Schwern]
596
597 - Fixed a testing error on Cygwin. [Reini Urban]
598
5992.02  Sun Mar 30 18:20:12 CST 2003
600
601 - Now that we know this module doesn't work (yet?) with perl 5.005,
602   put a couple 'use 5.006' statements in the module & Makefile.PL so
603   we're explicit about the dependency. [Richard Clamp]
604
6052.01  Thu Mar 20 08:22:36 CST 2003
606
607 - Allow -C++ flag for backward compatibility.  It's a no-op, and has
608   been since perl5.003_07. [PodMaster]
609
6102.00  Sun Feb 23 16:40:17 CST 2003
611
612 - Tests now function under all three of the supported compilers on
613   Windows environments. [Randy W. Sims]
614
615 - Will now install to the 'core' perl module directory instead of to
616   'site_perl' or the like, because this is the only place MakeMaker
617   will look for the xsubpp script.
618
619 - Explicitly untie and close the output file handle because ParseXS was
620   holding the file handle open, preventing the compiler from opening
621   it on Win32. [Randy W. Sims]
622
623 - Added an '--output FILENAME' flag to xsubpp and changed ParseXS to use
624   the named file in the #line directives when the output file has an
625   extension other than '.c' (i.e. '.cpp'). [Randy W. Sims]
626
627 - Added conditional definition of the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro to the
628   output file in case it's not already defined for backwards
629   compatibility with pre-5.8 versions of perl. (Not sure if this is the
630   best solution.) [Randy W. Sims]
631
632
6331.99  Wed Feb  5 10:07:47 PST 2003
634
635 - Version bump to 1.99 so it doesn't look like a 'beta release' to
636   CPAN.pm.  No code changes, since I haven't had any bug reports.
637
638 - Fixed a minor problem in the regression tests that was creating an
639   XSTest..o file instead of XSTest.o
640
641
6421.98_01  Mon Dec  9 11:50:41 EST 2002
643
644 - Converted from ExtUtils::xsubpp in bleadperl
645
646 - Basic set of regression tests written
647
