This announcement is for the perl base package itself. Important Changes since the last perl-5.10.0-3: * Removed -Dusesitecustomize for performance reasons * Win32Core.o is now included in libperl to avoid libtool linking problems for modperl and other packages. * rebaseall is probably required. * Some more blead patches have been tested and backported, in detail: [perl #55162] File::Spec Cygwin/Win32 case_tolerant improvement, Significantly speeds up Module::Build (e.g. 5min to 10sec) [perl #55160] Fix cygwin mount test CYG14 Dynaloader CYG15 static-Win32CORE 32813 ExtUtils::Install update 33239 unpack-in-scalar-context 33807 sv_setsv_flags crash with gv 33937 sort magic crash perl-5.10.0 cygwin notes: ------------------------- This release is binary incompatible with the previous 5.8 releases, but compatible to all future 5.10.x releases. That's why we named the main perl DLL /bin/cygperl5_10.dll and not cygperl5_10_0.dll. The requirements for the special perl link driver ld2 and perlld had been removed. Cygwin mount point information is now accessible, esp. text/binary detection. Some modules have been added to vendor_perl, but most of the old vendor modules moved to CORE. Included are Bundle::CPAN, CPAN::Reporter, XML::LibXML and several Test modules. Note: Installed modules (e.g. via CPAN) in site_perl have higher precedence than vendor_perl modules. So you can easily update these. See http://www.perl.org/ ChangeLog: http://perldoc.perl.org/perldelta.html Cygwin README: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlcygwin.html Vendor patches: * CYG04 major.version cygperl5_10.dll and not cygperl5_10_x.dll * CYG11 no-bs Empty .bs files are not generated anymore * CYG12 no archlib in otherlibdirs * CYG14 Dynaloader * CYG15 static-Win32CORE * CYG18 File::Spec::case_tolerant performance fix Update recommendations: ----------------------- Since 5.10 is not installed in parallel to 5.8 (it is possible, but not with this package), all your old 5.8 modules will need to be reinstalled for 5.10. Your old 5.8 modules are not deleted, just not accessible to 5.10. Non-binary packages can be used by adding /usr/lib/perl5/site_lib/5.8 to your @INC, but the below procedure is recommended to get the latest version for each installed package. This will not harm most of your previous 5.8 modules in case you want to switch back to 5.8, just the /bin scripts might get overwritten. BEFORE INSTALLATION of 5.10 ! # get the list of installed 5.8 modules $ perl -MExtUtils::Installed \ -e'print join("\n", new ExtUtils::Installed->modules)' > module.list AFTER INSTALLATION of 5.10 ! # install all previous modules for 5.10 $ cpan `cat module.list` Detailed NEWS from README ------------------------- 5.10.0-4 - removed -Dusesitecustomize for performance reasons - changed build.sh: - use DESTDIR with cleanup, install relative, no makepkg.sh and seperate.pl anymore - install unstripped, strip before pkg - rebase with fixed 0x52000000 - added DynaLoader.o to libperl (static and dynamic) - added Win32CORE.o to libperl (static and dynamic) - fixed ExtUtil::Install v1.45 not to use //var/cache or such like - Module updates: File-Temp-0.20, HTML-Tagset-3.20, CPAN-Reporter-1.11 - added: Digest::SHA, Math::BigInt::FastCalc 5.10.0-3 - use i686-cygwin as archname - remove -Uusemymalloc as reported faster by Jerry Hedden http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2008-01/msg01388.html - updated CPAN::Reporter to 1.08 - added blead patches: 32891 aassign_common, 32909 smartmatch-deparse, 32933 clone-seen_eval, 32938 refcount-reg_curpm, 33239 unpack-in-scalar-context 5.10.0-2 - fixed @INC: remove doublettes, include site_perl/5.8 5.10.0-1 - Configure -de -Dmksymlinks -Duse64bitint -Dusethreads -Uusemymalloc \ -Doptimize='-O3' -Dman3ext='3pm' -Dusesitecustomize (unchanged from 5.8) - cygwin /bin g+w incompatible with TAINT (-T) The default directory permissions for /bin drwxrwxr-x is incompatible with perl tainting. chmod g-w /bin to allow perl -T scripts to run without warnings. - included vendor_perl packages Rationale: Same local vendor_perl packages included as in 5.8.7, plus some of the new CPAN packages which went to core with 5.9.5, Bundle::CPAN, CPAN::Reporter, Module::Build for a full CPAN bootstrap, and the new LibXML packages (required for mad), and some almost-core dependencies: Pod-Escapes-1.04 Pod-Simple-3.05 Test-Pod-1.26 Devel-Symdump-2.08 Pod-Coverage-0.19 Test-Pod-Coverage-1.08 Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2.008 IO-Compress-Bzip2-2.008 Compress-Bzip2-2.09 IO-String-1.08 Archive-Zip-1.23 Math-BigInt-FastCalc-0.15 Term-ReadLine-Perl-1.0302 Term-ReadLine-Gnu-1.16 TermReadKey-2.30 XML-NamespaceSupport-1.09 XML-SAX-0.16 XML-LibXML-Common-0.13 XML-LibXML-1.65 XML-Parser-2.36 Proc-ProcessTable-0.41 YAML-0.66 Config-Tiny-2.12 File-Copy-Recursive-0.35 IPC-Run3-0.039 Probe-Perl-0.01 Tee-0.13 IO-CaptureOutput-1.06 File-pushd-1.00 File-HomeDir-0.67 Digest-SHA-5.45 Module-Signature-0.55 URI-1.35 HTML-Tagset-3.10 HTML-Parser-3.56 libwww-perl-5.808 CPAN-1.9205 Test-Reporter-1.38 CPAN-Reporter-1.0601 Net-Telnet-3.03 Module-ScanDeps-0.81 PAR-Dist-0.25 B-Generate-1.11 PadWalker-1.5 Alias-2.32 Thanks to Jerry D.
