Remove all IGNORABLE files under cpan/
This was discussed on p5p: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/10/msg208635.html One LICENSE file (Locale-Codes) has been removed (contrary to one suggestion in that thread) since it was the only one, and only says "This module is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself." anyway. Two files that I had previously suggested retaining for the sake of tests have also been removed. In one case, a test script has been modified (in Digest-MD5; I will send a ticket upstream); in the other case (in Test-Harness) I have removed the test which depended on the MANIFEST files, as suggested in the above thread.

-1.9720 [2010-02-14]
- - Address [rt.cpan.org #54196] alarm and ularm return values are bogus,
- report and fix from Nicholas Clark
-
-1.9719 [2009-01-04]
- - As with QNX, Haiku has the API of interval timers but not
- the implementation (bleadperl change #34630), hence skip
- the tests, via David Mitchell.
-
-1.9718 [2008-12-31]
- - .xs code cleanup from Albert Dvornik

-
-1.9717 [2008-12-30]

- with TIME_HIRES_NANOSLEEP
-
-1.9715 [2008-04-08]
- - Silly me: Makefile.PL does need to accept arguments other than mine.
- Some testing frameworks obviously do this.
- - Add retrying for tests 34..37, which are the most commonly
- failing tests. If this helps, consider extending the retry
- framework to all the tests. [Inspired by Slaven Rezic,
- [rt.cpan.org #34711] Occasional failures of test 35 or 36 (FreeBSD)]
-
-1.9714 [2008-04-07]
- - Under Perl 5.6.* NVgf needs to be "g", reported by Zefram,
- it seems that ppport.h 3.13 gets this wrong.
- - remove the check in Makefile.PL for 5.7.2, shouldn't be
- (a) necessary (b) relevant
- - add logic to Makefile.PL to skip configure/write Makefile
- step if the "xdefine" file already exists, indicating that
- the configure step has already been done, one can still
- force (re)configure by "perl Makefile.PL configure",
- or of course by "make clean && perl Makefile.PL".
-
-1.9713 [2008-04-04]
- - for alarm() and ualarm() [Perl] prefer setitimer() [C]
- instead of ualarm() [C] since ualarm() [C] cannot portably
- (and standards-compliantly) be used for more than 999_999
- microseconds (rt.cpan.org #34655)
- - it seems that HP-UX has started (at least in 11.31 ia64)
- #defining the CLOCK_REALTIME et alia (instead of having
- them just as enums)
- - document all the diagnostics
-
-1.9712 [2008-02-09]
- - move the sub tick in the test file back to where it used to be
- - in the "consider upgrading" message recommend at least Perl 5.8.8
- and make the message to appear only for 5.8.0 since 5.8.1 and
- later have the problem fixed
- - VOS tweak for Makefile (core perl change #33259)
- - since the test #17 seems to fail often, relax its limits a bit
-
-1.9711 [2007-11-29]
- - lost VMS test skippage from Craig Berry
- - reformat the test code a little
-
-1.9710 [2007-11-29]
- - I got the sense of the QNX test the wrong way in an attempt
- to generalize it for future
-
-1.9709 [2007-11-28]
- - casting fixes from Robin Barker for g++ and 64bitint
- - in QNX skip the itimer tests because though the API
- is there, the implementation isn't, from Matt Kraai
- - raise the dead man timer to 180 seconds for really
- slow/busy systems
- - elaborate the UTF-8 locale warning from Makefile.PL
-
-1.9708 [2007-10-05]
- - [rt.cpan.org #29747]: Build failure with perl 5.005_05
- Fixed by regenerating the ppport.h using Devel::PPPort 3.13.
-
-1.9707 [2007-02-27]
- - t/HiRes.t failed in Perl 5.6.2,
- "action is not of type POSIX::SigAction at t/HiRes.t line 318",
- reported and fixed by Anton Berezin, the reason was faulty
- use of sigaction() when restoring the old action.
-
-1.9706 [2007-02-25]
- - with bleadperl in VMS the HiRes.t overrun the maximum number
- of deferred signals because the libc SIGALRM was not strong
- enough to interrupt select(), and select() got restarted every
- time, solution is to use POSIX::SigAction if available.
- A fix from Craig Berry (not 100% there, but helps).
- - allow for more measuring noise for ualarm() tests 35..37
-
-1.9705 [2007-02-06]
- - nanosleep() and clock_nanosleep() detection and use were
- quite broken; in Linux -lrt needed; fixes from Zefram
- - [internal] slightly cleaner building of $DEFINE in Makefile.PL,
- should avoid double/conflicting -D flags
-
-1.9704 [2007-01-01]
- - allow 10% of slop in test #14 (testing difference between
- CORE::time() and Time::HiRes::time()), there seem to be often
- transient failures from Perl smoke builds on this test
- - small pod tweaks
-
-1.9703 [2006-12-08]
- - use int main(int argc, char **argv) consistently in Makefile.PL,
- should help with
- [rt.cpan.org #23868] nanosleep not detected under Mac OS 10.3.9 starting with Time::HiRes 1.96
- - if someone still has the locale-broken Perl 5.8.0,
- suggest that they upgrade their Perl
-
-1.9702 [2006-12-06]
- - restore the -DATLEASTFIVEOHOHFIVE, Win32 needed it still
-
-1.9701 [2006-12-04]
- - upgrade to ppport.h 3.10_02
- - remove the -DATLEASTFIVEOHOHFIVE
- - use the ppport.h PL_ppaddr, PL_statcache, PL_laststatval
- - use the ppport.h aTHXR for calling Perl stat()
- - switch into four-digit version since 2.0 is coming up
- awfully fast but not feeling like a major rewrite
-
-1.97 [2006-11-30]
- - 1.95 broke building in Win32 (since pp_stat is not exported),
- figured out how to call an op directly in 5.005 (use Perl_ppaddr
- instead of PL_ppaddr)
- - backport to Perl 5.004_05 (requires using statcache
- and laststatval instead of PL_statcache and PL_laststatval)
- (also checked to work in 5.005_04, 5.6.1, and 5.8.8 with threads)
-
-1.96 [2006-11-30]
- - 1.95 broke builds for threaded Perls, rt.cpan.org tickets:
- [rt.cpan.org #23694] Time::HiRes fails tests on Solaris and Perl 5.6.1
- [rt.cpan.org #23712] Time-HiRes 1.95 Fails make on AIX 5.2 with Perl 5.8.8
- [rt.cpan.org #23730] Time::HiRes 1.95 fails make on MacOS X 10.3.9/perl 5.8.8
- - use main() prototype consistently in Makefile.PL
-
-1.95 [2006-11-29]
- - integrate core change #29180: Silence VC++ compiler warnings
- from Steve Hay
- - do not use PL_ppaddr in stat() because that is not available
- in Perl 5.005_04
- - regenerate fallback/*.inc for older Perls without
- ExtUtils::Constant because of d_hires_stat, resolves
- [rt.cpan.org #23694] Time::HiRes fails tests on Solaris and Perl 5.6.1
- - Make Makefile.PL more defensive against false PERL_CORE
-
-1.94 [2006-10-16]
- - file timestamps oddities seen: the atime and mtime
- can be out of sync (modify first and read second can leave
- atime < mtime) and mtime can be subsecond while atime is not.
- So make the test more forgiving.
-
-1.93 [2006-10-15]
- - the ualarm() tests (34-37) assumed that ualarm(N)
- could never alarm in less than N seconds, widened
- the acceptable relative range to 0.9..1.5. Addresses
- [rt.cpan.org #22090] and [rt.cpan.org #22091].
-
- - skip the stat() tests in cygwin and win32, because
- if run on FAT the timestamp granularity is only 2 seconds.
- Any good way to detect (cygwin or win32) whether we are
- being run on NTFS or anywhere with better timestamps?
- Addresses [rt.cpan.org #22089] and [rt.cpan.org #22098].
-
-1.92 [2006-10-13]
- - scan for subsecond resolution timestamps in struct stat,
- some known possibilities:
-
- (1) struct timespec st_atimespec;
- st_atimespec.tv_nsec;
- (2) time_t st_atime;
- long st_atimensec;
- (3) time_t st_atime;
- int st_atime_n;
- (4) timestruc_t st_atim;
- st_atim.tv_nsec
- (5) time_t st_atime;
- int st_uatime;
-
- If something like this is found, one can do
-
- use Time::HiRes;
- my @stat = Time::HiRes::stat();
-
- or even override the standard stat():
-
- use Time::HiRes qw(stat);
-
- to get the stat() timestamps
-
- my ($atime, $mtime, $ctime) = @stat[8, 9, 10];
-
- with subsecond resolution (assuming both the operating
- system and the filesystem support that kind of thing).
-
- Contributions for more systems (especially non-UNIX,
- e.g. but not limited to: Win32, VMS, OS/2) gladly accepted.
- (also more UNIX variants welcome: HP-UX? IRIX?)
-
- Thanks to H.Merijn Brand, John Peacock, and Craig
- Berry for brave beta testing.
-
-1.91 [2006-09-29]
- - ualarm() in SuSE 10.1 was overflowing after ~4.2 seconds,
- possibly due to a glibc bug/feature (suspected overflow at
- 2**32 microseconds?), workaround by using the setitimer()
- implementation of ualarm() if either useconds or
- interval > 999_999 (this case seems to vary between systems:
- are useconds more than 999_999 for ualarm() defined or not)
- Added more ualarm() tests to catch various overflow points,
- hopefully no problems in various platforms.
- (The problem report by Mark Seger and Jon Paul Sullivan of HP.)
-
-1.90 [2006-08-22]
- - tweak still needed for Const64(), from Jerry Hedden
- - get a freshly generated ppport.h
- - update Copyright years
-
-1.89 [2006-08-22]
- - Const64() already appends an 'LL' (or i64), so provide LL and i64
- forms for the IV_1E[679] (effects Win32 and Cygwin), reported by
- Jerry Hedden.
- - the Changes entry for 1.88 talked about [IN]V_1[679],
- missing the 'E'.
-
-1.88 [2006-08-21]
- - clean up the g++ warnings in HiRes.xs, all of them
- about mixing integer and floating point, introduce
- constants IV_1E[679] and NV_1E[679]
-
-1.87 [2006-02-13]
- - [rt.cpan.org #17442] 'make test' frequently fails under
- Cygwin Perl v5.8.8, reported and patched by J. R. Hedden
- (two race condition bugs in the END block in the case the
- main process dies before the timer process, unearthed
- by a bug in Cygwin ualarm)
-
-1.86 [2005-12-17]
- - HiRes.t:s/ok 32/ok 33/, from Dominic Dunlop
- - tighten up the clock() test marginally by requiring non-negative
- - clock_nanosleep() and clock() doc tweaks
-
-1.85 [2005-12-16]
- - the interface to clock_nanosleep() is more natural
- when it is like (hires) time() (instead of like nanosleep),
- and the .xs implementation of clock_nanosleep() in 1.84
- was broken anyway
- - the semantics of clock() are not quite so silly as I thought,
- but still somewhat odd, documented as such
- - additional enhancements to the clock() documentation
- - add test for clock_nanosleep() (I cannot test this
- since none of my systems have the function)
- - add test for clock()
-
-1.84 [2005-12-16]
- - add clock() which returns the processor time in
- (floating point) seconds since an arbitrary era
- - add clock_nanosleep() which suspends the current
- thread until either absolute time or for relative time
- - [rt.cpan.org #16486] printf missing value in HiRes.t
- - add constants CLOCKS_PER_SEC, CLOCK_SOFTTIME, TIMER_ABSTIME
- - tiny typo fixes
-
-1.83 [2005-11-19]
- - has_symbol() was wrong since e.g. ITIMER_VIRTUAL is exported
- via @EXPORT_OK even when it is not available. This is heinous.
- @EXPORT_OK should be determined at Makefile.PL time.
- - be more lenient is testing clock_gettime(): allow more slop,
- and retry up to three times, sleeping a random nap between
- the retries
- - human months are one-based (noticed by Anton Berezin)
-
-1.82 [2005-10-06]
- - CLOCK_REALTIME is an enum value (of the clockid_t enum)
- in HP-UX (and might be so elsewhere, too), debugged by
- H. Merijn Brand
- - include const-c.inc as late as possible (from Randy Kobes,
- [rt.cpan.org #15552] to avoid undefined usleep() on Win32
-
-1.81 [2005-11-05]
- - try to be more robust and consistent in the detection of
- CLOCK_REALTIME and ITIMER_VIRTUAL in HiRes.t: the proper
- way is
-
- sub has_symbol {
- my $symbol = shift;
- eval 'import Time::HiRes qw($symbol)';
- return 0 unless $@ eq '';
- return exists ${"Time::HiRes::$symbol"};
- }
-
- and then use
-
- &FOO_BAR
-
- in the test. All these moves are needed because
-
- 1) one cannot directly do eval 'Time::HiRes::FOO_BAR'
- because FOO_BAR might have a true value of zero
- (or in the general case an empty string or even undef)
-
- 2) In case FOO_BAR is not available in this platform,
- &FOO_BAR avoids the bareword warning
-
- - wait more (1.5 seconds instead of 0.1) for the CLOCK_REALTIME test
- but expect the 'customary' slop of 0.20 instead of 0.25
- - fixed inside a comment HAS_POLL -> TIME_HIRES_NANOSLEEP
- - at the end of HiRest.t tell how close we were to termination
-
-1.80 [2005-11-04]
- - Gisle noticed a mistake (using HAS_NANOSLEEP) in 1.79
-
-1.79 [2005-11-03]
- - try nanosleep for emulating usleep -- may help in some weird
- embedded realtime places which have nanosleep but neither usleep
- nor select nor poll (doesn't have to be weird embedded realtime
- place, though -- in many places usleep is nanosleep anyway)
- - try poll for emulating usleep -- this may help some obscure/old
- SVR4 places that have neither usleep nor select
- - a redundant test guard in HiRes.t
-
-1.78 [2005-11-03]
- - ITIMER_VIRTUAL detection in HiRes.t had problems (that we cannot
- in the general case fail already at 'use' phase is suboptimal)
- - fixes to the documentation of clock_gettime() and clock_getres()
-
-1.77 [2005-11-03]
- - add support for the POSIX clock_gettime() and clock_getres(),
- if available, either as library calls or as syscalls
- - be more defensive about missing functionality: break out
- early (during 'use') if no e.g. clock_getres() is available,
- and protect our back by trapping those cases also in HiRes.xs
- - the test added in 1.76 could cause an endless loop e.g. in Solaris,
- due to mixing of sleep() and alarm() (bad programmer, no cookie!)
-
-1.76 [2005-10-22]
- - testing for nanosleep had wrong logic which caused nanosleep
- to become undefined for e.g. Mac OS X
- - added a test for a core dump that was introduced by Perl 5.8.0
- safe signals and was fixed for the time of 5.8.1 (one report of
- the core dump was [perl #20920]), the test skipped pre-5.8.1.
- - *cough* s/unanosleep/nanosleep/g; *cough*
-
-1.75 [2005-10-18]
- - installation patch from Gisle Aas: in Perls 5.8.x and later
- use MakeMaker INSTALLDIRS value of 'perl' instead of 'site'.
-
-1.74 [2005-09-19]
- - [cpan #14608] Solaris 8 perl 5.005_03 File::Spec module does not have method rel2abs
- (the workaround is not to use rel2abs, should not be necessary)
- - [cpan #14642] U2time wrongly exported on the C API
- (patch supplied by the reporter, SALVA@cpan.org)
- - add release dates to Changes
-
-1.73 [2005-08-16]
- - Time::HiRes::nanosleep support for Solaris [PATCH]
- (POSIX::uname() not available if building with core perl,
- from Gisle Aas, via perl5-porters, perl change #25295)
-
-1.72 [2005-07-01]
- - going back to the 1.68 loader setup (using DynaLoader)
- since too many weird things starting breaking
- - fix a typo in José Auguste-Etienne's name
-
-1.71 [2005-06-28]
- - a thinko in the nanosleep() detection
- - move more changes stuff from the README to Changes
- - add -w to the Makefile.PL
-
-1.70 [2005-06-26]
- - oops in 1.69 about @ISA (not affecting anything but silly)
- - add copyright 2005 to HiRes.pm
- - add copyright and license to HiRes.xs
- - add copyrights 2003, 2004, 2005 to README
-
-1.69 [2005-06-25]
- - actually run a test for nanosleep
- (if there is no $Config{d_nanosleep}) since e.g. in AIX 4.2
- it seems that one can link in nanosleep() but then calling
- it fails instantly and sets errno to ENOSYS (Not implemented).
- This may be fixable in the AIX case by figuring out the right
- (realtime POSIX?) libs and whatnot, but in the general case
- running a real test case is better. (Of course, this change
- will no doubt run into portability problems because of the
- execution step...) Note that because of hysterical raisins
- most Perls do NOT have $Config{d_nanosleep} (scanning for
- it by Configure would in many platforms require linking in
- things like -lrt, which would in many platforms be a bad idea
- for Perl itself).
- (from José Auguste-Etienne)
- - support XSLoader also since it's much faster
- (from Alexey Tourbin)
- - add SEE ALSO (BSD::Resource and Time::TAI64)
-
-1.68 [2005-05-14]
- - somehow 1.67 had a lot of doubled lines (a major cut-and-paste
- error suspected), but miraculously it still worked since the
- doubling took place below the __END__ token
- - undef Pause() before defining it to avoid redefinition warnings
- during compilation in case perl.h had already defined Pause()
- (part of perl change #24271)
- - minor doc tweaks
-
-1.67 [2005-05-04]
- - (internal) don't ignore the return value of gettimeofday()
- - (external) return undef or an empty if the C gettimeofday() fails
- (affects Time::HiRes gettimeofday() and the hires time())
-
-1.66 [2004-12-19]
- - add nanosleep()
- - fix the 'hierachy' typo in Makefile.PL [rt.cpan.org #8492]
- - should now build in Solaris [rt.cpan.org #7165] (since 1.64)
- - should now build in Cygwin [rt.cpan.org #7535] (since 1.64)
- - close also [rt.cpan.org #5933] "Time::HiRes::time does not
- pick up time adjustments like ntp" since ever reproducing it
- (and therefore verifying a possible fix) in the same environment
- has become rather unlikely
-
-1.65 [2004-09-18]
- - one should not mix u?alarm and sleep (the tests modified
- by 1.65, #12 and #13, hung in Solaris), now we just busy
- loop executing an empty block
- - in the documentation underline the unspecificity of mixing
- sleeps and alarms
- - small spelling fixes
-
-1.64 [2004-09-16]
- - regenerate ppport.h with Devel::PPPort 3.03,
- now the MY_CXT_CLONE is defined in ppport.h,
- we no more need to do that.
-
- - the test #12 would often hang in sigsuspend() (at least that's
- where Mac OS X' ktrace shows it hanging). With the sleep()s
- changed to sleep(1)s, the tests still pass but no hang after
- a few hundred repeats.
-
-1.63 [2004-09-01]
- - Win32 and any ithread build: ppport.h didn't define
- MY_CXT_CLONE, which seems to be a Time-HiRes-ism.
-
-1.62 [2004-08-31]
- - Skip testing if under PERL_CORE and Time::HiRes has not
- been Configured (from Marcus Holland-Moritz, core change
- #23246)
- - Use ppport.h generated by Devel::PPPort 3.01,
- allowing cutting away our own portability code.
- - Don't use $ENV{PERL_CORE} for < 5.6.0.
- - Don't use "for my $i" for <= 5.003.
- - Don't use Pause() for <= 5.003.
- - Can't use newSVpvf for <= 5.003.
- (most of the changes from Marcus)
-
-1.61 [2004-08-21]
- - Win32: reset reading from the performance counters every
- five minutes to better track wall clock time (thanks to
- PC timers being often quite bad), should help long-running
- programs.
-
-1.60 [2004-08-15]
- - Win32: Patch from Steve Hay
- [PATCH] Re: [perl #30755] [Win32] Different results from Time::HiRes::gettimeofdayunder the debugger
- to [perl #30755] reported by Nigel Sandever
-
- - Cygwin: Use the Win32 recalibration code also in Cygwin if the
- <w32api/windows.h> APIs are available. Cygwin testing by
- Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes.
-
- - Solaris: use -lposix4 to get nanosleep for Solaris 2.6,
- after that keep using -lrt, patch from Alan Burlison,
- bug reported in [cpan #7165]
-
-1.59 [2004-04-08]
- - Change the Win32 recalibration limit to 0.5 seconds and tweak
- the documentation to blather less about the gory details of the
- Win32 implementation and more about the complications in general
- of meddling with the system clock.
-
-1.58 [2004-04-08]
- - Document the 1.57 change better.
-
-1.57 [2004-07-04]
- - Win32/Cygwin/MinGW: if the performance counter drifts by more
- than two seconds from the system clock (due to ntp adjustments,
- for example), recalibrate our internal counter: from Jan Dubois,
- based on [cpan #5933] by Jerry D. Hedden.
-
-1.56 [2004-29-02]
- - Give a clearer message if the tests timeout (perl change #22253)
- - Don't use /tmp or its moral equivalents (perl bug #15036,
- perl change #22258)
-
-1.55 [2004-01-14]
- - Windows: mingw32 patch from Mike Pomraning (use Perl's Const64()
- instead of VC-specific i64 suffix)
-
-1.54 [2003-12-31]
- - Solaris: like Tru64 (dec_osf) also Solaris need -lrt for nanosleep
-
-1.53 [2003-12-30]
- - Windows: higher resolution time() by using the Windows
- performance counter API, from Jan Dubois and Anton Shcherbinin.
- The exact new higher resolution depends on the hardware,
- but it should be quite a bit better than using the basic
- Windows timers.
-
-1.52 [2003-10-28]
- - In AIX (v?) with perl 5.6.1 the HiRes.t can hang after
- the subtest 18. No known analysis nor fix, but added
- an alarm (that requires fork() and alarm()) to the test.
-
-1.51 [2003-09-22]
- - doc tweaks from mjd (perl change #20456)
- - NCR MP-RAS hints file added (svr4.pl) (perl change #21249)
-
-1.50 [2003-08-02]
- - add a message (for non-core builds) to Makefile.PL about
- the LC_ALL=C workaround
- - &Time::HiRes::d_nanosleep was broken (perl change #20131)
- - the nanosleep() probe was broken (perl change #20061)
- - use existence instead of definedness for feature probes
- (perl change #20043)
- - MPE/iX tweak (perl change #20042)
- - do not use HAS_NANOSLEEP (perl change #19898)
-
-1.49 [2003-06-23]
- - UVuf for non-IVSIZE platforms (from Keiichiro Nagano)
- - OS/2 can always mix subsecond sleeps with signals
- (part of perl change #19789)
-
-1.48 [2003-06-04]
- - workaround for buggy gcc 2.95.3 in openbsd/sparc64
- (perl change #19592)
-
-1.47 [2003-05-03]
- - do not use -lrt in Linux (from March Lehmann, perl change #19449)
- - unnecessary (nanosleep is in libc anyway)
- - harmful (-lrt slows down execution)
- - incompatible (with many distributions' pthreads)
-
-1.46 [2003-04-25]
- - do not create files in blib directories under core
- (perl change #19160, from rgs)
- - detypo s/VTLARM/VTARLM/ (perl change #19328, from mjd)
-
-1.45 [2003-04-01]
- - guarantee that $xdefine in HiRes.t is always defined
- (perl change #19109, from IlyaZ)
- - a cleaner way to detect PERL_CORE (perl change #19111,
- from IlyaZ)
-
-1.44 [2003-03-30]
- - add hints/irix.pl to turn off overly POSIX flags that
- cause hide struct timespec to be hidden (and compilation
- to fail) (bleadperl change #19085)
- - documentation tweaks
-
-1.43 [2003-03-11]
- - add c:/temp to the list of temp directories to probe
- so that cygwin (and win*?) builds are happy. This was
- needed at least in my cygwin 1.3.20/w2k setup.
-
-1.42 [2003-01-07]
- - modernize the constants code (from Nicholas Clark)
-
-1.41 [2003-01-03]
- - At some point the ability to figure our the correct incdir
- for EXTERN.h (either a core perl build, or an installed perl)
- had broken (which lead into all test compiles failing with
- a core perl build, but thanks to the robustness of Makefile.PL
- nothing of this was visible). The brokenness seemed to be
- caused by $ENV{PERL_CORE} not being on for core builds?
- Now stole a trick from the Encode that sets $ENV{PERL_CORE}
- right, and both styles of build should work again.
-
-1.40 [2003-01-03]
- - Nicholas Clark noticed that the my_catdir() emulation function
- was broken (which means that we didn't really work for Perls
- 5.002 and 5.003)
- - inspired by fixing the above made the whole Makefile.PL -w
- and strict clean
- - tightened up the Makefile.PL output, less whitespace
-
-1.39 [2003-10-20]
- - fix from Craig Berry for better building in VMS with PERL_CORE
-
-1.38 [2003-10-13]
- - no functional changes
- - move lib/Time/HiRes.pm as Hires.pm
- - libraries scanning was slightly broken (always scanned
- for a library even when $Config{libs} already had it)
-
-1.37 [2003-09-23]
- - Ray Zimmerman ran into a race condition in Mac OS X.
- A 0.01-second alarm fired before the test expected.
- The test first slept indefinitely (blocking for signals)
- and only after that tested for the signal having been sent.
- Since the signal had already been sent, the test #12 never
- completed. The solution: test first, then block.
- - default to being silent on all probing attempts, set the
- environment variable VERBOSE to a true value to see the
- details (the probing command and the possible errors)
-
-1.36 [2003-09-12]
- - do not clear MAN3PODS in Makefile.PL (Radoslaw Zielinski)
- - INSTALLDIRS => 'perl' missing which means that Time::HiRes
- cannot be upgraded from CPAN to override the 5.8.0 version
- (Guido A. Ostkamp)
- - Time::HiRes 1.35 could not be dropped as-is to bleadperl
- because the include directories did not adjust themselves
- if $ENV{PERL_CORE} (Hugo van der Sanden)
- - add documentation about the restart of select() under alarm()
-
-1.35 [2003-08-24]
- - small documentation tweaks
-
-
-1.34 [2003-08-22]
- - better VMS operation (Craig Berry)
-
-1.33 [2003-08-20]
- - our time machine is accelerating: now works with Perl 5.004_01
- (tried with 5.003_07 and 5.002 but I get segmentation faults
- from running the Makefile.PL with those in Tru64 4.0D)
-
-1.32 [2003-08-20]
- - backward compatibility (pre-5.6.0) tweaks:
- - no XSLoader in 5.00503, use DynaLoader instead
- - no SvPV_nolen, either
- - no PerlProc_pause(), either
- - now tested with 5.00404 and 5.00503
- - Makefile.PL requires 5.00404 (no more 5.002)
- - use nanosleep instead of usleep, if it is available (Wilson Snyder)
- (this means that one can mix subsecond sleeps with alarms)
- - because of nanosleep we probe for -lrt and -lposix4
- - the existence of getitimer/nanosleep/setitimer/ualarm/usleep
- is available by exportable constants Time::HiRes::d_func
- (since older Perl do not have them in %Config, and even
- 5.8.0 does not probe for nanosleep)
-
-1.31 [2003-08-19]
- - backward compatibility (pre-5.6.1) tweaks:
- - define NV if no NVTYPE
- - define IVdf if needed (note: the Devel::PPPort
- in 5.8.0 does not try hard hard enough since
- the IVSIZE might not be defined)
- - define NVgf if needed
- - grab the typemap from 5.8.0 for the NV stuff
-
- 1.31 and 1.32 add more backward compatibility (now all the way
- back to Perl 5.00404), and using nanosleep() (if available) for
- subsecond sleeps.
-
-1.30 [2003-08-16]
-
- - release 1.29_02 as 1.30
-
- 1.30 adds all the changes made during the Perl 5.6->5.7->5.8
- development cycle. Most notably portability across platforms has been
- enhanced, and the interval timers (setitimer, getitimer) have been
- added. Note that the version of Time::HiRes that is included in Perl
- 5.8.0 calls itself 1.20_00, but it is equivalent to this Time::HiRes
- version. Note also that in 1.30 Wegscheid turns over the maintenance
- to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
-
-1.29_02 [2003-08-16]
-
- - fix a silly unclosed comment typo in HiRes.xs
- - document and export REALTIME_REALPROF (Solaris)
-
-1.29_01 [2003-08-16]
-
- - only getitimer(ITIMER_REAL) available in Cygwin and Win32
- (need to patch this also in Perl 5.[89])
- - remove CVS revision log from HiRes.xs
-
-1.29_00 [2003-08-14]

- - 9692: do not require at least 5.005 using XS
-
- The following changes were made on top of the changes
- made for Time::HiRes during the Perl 5.7 development
- cycle that culminated in the release of Perl 5.8.0.
-
- - add "require 5.005" to the Makefile.PL
- - remove the REVISION section (CVS log) from HiRes.pm
- - add jhi's copyright alongside Douglas'
- - move HiRes.pm to lib/Time/
- - move HiRes.t to t/
- - modify HiRes.t to use $ENV{PERL_CORE}
- - modify the original Time::HiRes version 1.20 Makefile.PL
- to work both with Perl 5.8.0 and the new code with pre-5.8.0
- Perls (tried with 5.6.1)
- - tiny tweaks and updates in README and TODO
- - bump the VERSION to 1.29
-
-1.20 Wed Feb 24 21:30 1999
- - make our usleep and ualarm substitutes into hrt_usleep
- and hrt_ualarm. This helps static links of Perl with other
- packages that also have usleep, etc. From
- Ilya Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>
- - add C API stuff. From Joshua Pritikin
- <joshua.pritikin@db.com>
- - VMS Makefile.PL fun. From pvhp@forte.com (Peter Prymmer)
- - hopefully correct "-lc" fix for SCO.
- - add PPD stuff
-
- 1.20 adds a platform neutral set of C accessible routines if you are
- running 5.005+. All other changes are packaging changes and build
- fixes(?) for statically linked Perl, SCO, and VMS.
-
-1.19 Tue Sep 29 22:30 1998
- - put VMS gettimeofday() in. Patch is from Sebastian Bazley
- <seb@stian.demon.co.uk>
- - change GIMME_V to GIMME to help people with older versions of
- Perl.
- - fix Win32 version of gettimeofday(). It didn't affect anything,
- but it confuses people reading the code when the return value
- is backwards (0 is success).
- - fix Makefile.PL (more) so that detection of gettimeofday is
- more correct.
-
- 1.19 has better VMS support.
-
-1.18 Mon Jul 6 22:40 1998
- - add usleep() for Win32.
- - fix Makefile.PL to fix reported HP/UX feature where unresolved
- externals still cause an executable to be generated (though no
- x bit set). Thanks to David Kozinn for report and explanation.
- Problems with the fix are mine :)
-
- 1.18 has limited Win32 support (no ualarm). Added usleep for Win32.
- Probably buggy. I'm sure I'll hear.
-
-1.17 Wed Jul 1 20:10 1998
- - fix setitimer calls so microseconds is not more than 1000000.
- Hp/UX 9 doesn't like that. Provided by Roland B Robert, PhD.
- - make Win32. We only get gettimeofday (the select hack doesn't
- seem to work on my Win95 system).
- - fix test 4 on 01test.t. add test to see if time() and
- Time::HiRes::time() are close.
-
-1.16 Wed Nov 12 21:05 1997
- - add missing EXTEND in new gettimeofday scalar code.
-
- 1.16+ should be closer to building out of the box on Linux. Thanks
- to Gisle Aas for patches, and the ualarm equivalent using setitimer.
-
- If your underlying operating system doesn't implement ualarm(), then
- a fake using setitimer() will be made. If the OS is missing usleep(),
- a fake one using select() will be made. If a fake can't be made for
- either ualarm() or usleep(), then the corresponding Perl function will
- not be available. If the OS is missing gettimeofday(), you will get
- unresolved externals, either at link- or run-time.
-
- This is an improvement; the package used to not even build if
- you were missing any of these bits. Roderick Schertler
-
- <roderick@argon.org> did all the conditional compilation stuff,
- look at HiRes.pm and the test suites; it's good educational reading.
-
-1.15 Mon Nov 10 21:30 1997
- - HiRes.pm: update pod. Provided by Gisle Aas.
- - HiRes.xs: if gettimeofday() called in scalar context, do
- something more useful than before. Provided by Gisle Aas.
- - README: tell of xsubpp '-nolinenumber' woes. thanks to
- Edward Henigin <ed@texas.net> for pointing out the problem.
-
-1.14 Wed Nov 5 9:40 1997
- - Makefile.PL: look for setitimer
- - HiRes.xs: if missing ualarm, but we have setitimer, make up
- our own setitimer. These were provided by Gisle Aas.
-
-1.13 Tue Nov 4 23:30 1997
- - Makefile.PL: fix autodetect mechanism to do try linking in addition
- to just compiling; should fix Linux build problem. Fix was provided
- by Gisle Aas.
-
-1.12 Sun Oct 12 12:00:00 1997
- - Makefile.PL: set XSOPT to '-nolinenumbers' to work around xsubpp bug;
- you may need to comment this back out if you have an older xsubpp.
- - HiRes.xs: set PROTOTYPES: DISABLE
-
-1.11 Fri Sep 05 16:00:00 1997
- - Makefile.PL:
- Had some line commented out that shouldn't have been (testing
- remnants)
- - README:
- Previous version was corrupted.
-
-1.10 Thu May 22 20:20:00 1997
- - HiRes.xs, HiRes.pm, t/*:
- - only compile what we have OS support for (or can
- fake with select())
- - only test what we compiled
- - gross improvement to the test suite
- - fix EXPORT_FAIL.
- This work was all done by Roderick Schertler
- <roderick@argon.org>. If you run Linux or
- one of the other ualarm-less platforms, and you like this
- module, let Roderick know; without him, it still wouldn't
- be working on those boxes...
- - Makefile.PL: figure out what routines the OS has and
- only build what we need. These bits were written by Jarkko
- Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>. Again, gratitude is due...
-
-1.02 Mon Dec 30 08:00:00 1996
- - HiRes.pm: update documentation to say what to do when missing
- ualarm() and friends.
- - README: update to warn that ualarm() and friends need to exist
-
-1.01 Fri Oct 17 08:00:00 1996
- - Makefile.PL: make XSPROTOARGS => '-noprototyopes'
- - HiRes.pm: put blank line between __END__ and =head1 so that
- pod2man works.
-
-1.00 Tue Sep 03 13:00:00 1996
- - original version; created by h2xs 1.16
