Changes file for IPC::Run3

0.049 2024-01-20

        - improve errno handling on Windows (thanks, Graham Ollis)
        - avoid leaking fds (thanks, Dan Book)
        - fix typos in docs (thanks, Yoshikazu Sawa and Jakub Wilk)

0.048 2014-03-29
        - no code changes from 0.047
        - update bugtracker and repo links

0.047 2013-09-25
        [TRIAL RELEASE]
        - handle system() returning == 0xFF00 on Win32
        - use Win32::ShellQuote for shell quoting on Win32

0.046 2013-06-11
        - replace a die with a croak (thanks, Mike Doherty)
        - typo fixes in documentation (thanks, David Steinbrunner)

0.045 2011-12-23
        - skip a test that tickles an OpenBSD bug and hangs the process (thanks,
          BinGOs)

0.044 2010-08-22
        - ignore user-defined __DIE__ handler in _type (Jeff Lavallee)
        - Added test for __DIE__ handler behavior

0.043 2009-05-30
        - No code changes
        - add repository location to META.yml
        - avoid hand-written META.yml by using META_MERGE

0.042  2008-08-09
        - No code changes
        - Rewrite a test in t/utf8.t that runs afoul of a misfeature
          in Perl 5.8.0 (turn on ":utf8" by default on all filehandles
          when running in a UTF8 locale; fixed since 5.8.1)

0.041  2008-08-03
        - Handle arbitrary binmode() layers in "binmode_*" options; for
          backward compatibility, any true option that doesn't start
          with ":" is treated as ":raw"
        - NOTE: This does work for the built-in layers, e.g. ":utf8",
          but all bets are off for fancier stuff like ":via(...)" .
        - Add an option "return_if_system_error" that causes run3()
          to refrain from throwing an exception when system() returns -1
          (cf. RT 14272).

0.040  2007-12-26
        - major rewrite of pod:
        - describe all possible forms of redirectors
        - list available options
        - explain how run3() works
        - fix #31343 by using the three argument form of open() for files;
          unfortunately that isn't available before Perl 5.6.0,
          hence "use 5.006_00"; also use lexical filehandles everywhere
        - implement options append_{stdout,stderr}; add test cases
        - edit META.yml so that the profiling modules IPC::Run3::Prof*
          (which aren't of general use) won't show on CPAN

0.039  2007-11-01
        - avoid some warnings while testing profiler (thanks, SCOP)

0.038  2007-10-08
        - remove use warnings for 5.005 compat (thanks, David Golden)

0.037  2006-09-19
        - document license more clearly for META.yml

0.036  2006-09-19
        - document more clearly the return value of run3

0.035  2006-07-27
        - remove requirement for Test::Pod and ::Coverage just to build

0.034  2005-12-12
        - skip t/fork.t on MSWin32 (and Cygwin):
            Win32 threads (and fork() is emulated via threads) in the
            same process share the same STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR, hence
            the method used by run3() (redirect STD* and then call system())
            doesn't work here and IO crossover is to be expected -
            a possible alternative on Win32 would be to use CreateProcess
            which lets you explicitly specify three filehandles for the
            new process' STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR; however Win32::Process::Create()
            (from the libwin32 CPAN distribution) as omitted these
            parameters from the Perl wrapper
        - add a note to the documentation about the problems with
            concurrent calls to run3 in a threaded environment
            (incl. fork() on Win32)
        - make sure all tests run with warnings on

0.033  2005-11-15
        - make documentation in IPC/Run3/ProfReporter.pm comply with
          older versions of Pod::Coverage (fixes bug #15749)
        - new version of t/fork.t that will work on Windows
          (there are still unresolved issues on Cygwin)
        - switch t/fd_leak.t to use Test::More and relax file descriptor check
          to "same or fewer fd's after the call to run3 than before",
          because Darwin 7.2 sometimes actually report fewer fd's
          (fixes bug #15741)
        - extricated some dead code from IPC/Run3.pm that
          resulted in 6 unused file descriptors
        - fix call to binmode missing a filehandle in IPC/Run3.pm
          fix warnings in test scripts

0.032  2005-10-19
        - comaint granted to RSCHUPP (thanks, barry!)
        - fix bug #15003 "Data corruption with fork when both parent
          and child use run3":
        - purge %fh_cache when we detect that a fork has happened
        - add t/fork.t to detect "crossover" between child processes
        - fix (and test) only works on Unix, Windows has more problems
          with run3 from a forked (pseudo) process
        - fix prereq - should specify 0 (not 1) if any version will do
          added tests for redirection to/from filehandles to t/IPC-Run3.t

0.031   2005-09-27
        - documentation improvements

0.020   2005-07-12 08:39:00 EST
        - maintenance assumed (temporarily) by RJBS
        - removed inexplicable and mysterious MY::libscan from Makefile.PL
        - call import on ::PProf when profiling (argh!)
        - add Time::HiRes prereq
        - add Win32 prereq on Win32
        - add () to gettimeofday call to make debugger happy
        - properly handle redirection to filehandle
        - properly handle failure to start program
