[[ Bug Fixes ]]
Craig Berry fixed install on VMS (again, I munged the last patch)
MakeMaker might not be recognizing it's in PERL_SRC on Win32. Made safer.

Fixed running tests when there are t/'s in subdirs.
MM_DOS inheriting from MM_Unix instead of MM_Win32. DJGPP appears to be unix-like (bleadperl@15650)

ExtUtils::MM_Win95 didn't return a true value
Fixing disttest when perl is a relative path.

[[ Bug Fixes ]]
Removed duplicate NAME macro definition
Fixed makemakerdflt target for VMS
bleadperl@11460 introduced a bug with recursive Makefile.PL's not having '.' in @INC. PDL should build now.
MANIFEST.SKIP only working on file names, not full relative paths. Only since 5.51_01 (RT 413)
make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 was busted by 5.50_01 (RT 423)
Error messages from dying Makefile.PL's and hint files were accidentally supressed in 5.48_04. Fixed.

Changes for version 5.52_01 - 2002-03-26

[[ Bug Fixes ]]
ActivePerl 5.6.1/build 631 now 100%

ExtUtils::MM_Win32 not subclassed off of ExtUtils::MM_Any properly

Accidentally left htmlifypods tests in MM_Win32 tests
[[ Doc Changes ]]
Expanding Known Good list
Adding Known Programs to README

Changes for version 5.51_01 - 2002-03-18

[[ API Changes ]]
Removing xsubpp and typemap from the distribution. These are not Perl version independent files and should not be upgraded.
Removing ExtUtils::Embed. Version specific module and should not be updated.
Removing ExtUtils::Constant. Not directly tied to MakeMaker. Will be distributed seperately by Nick Clark.
[[ New Features ]]
realclean now deletes 'dist' directory.
[[ Bug Fixes ]]
Fixing ExtUtils::Installed for VMS
Fixed it so MakeMaker can build itself without needing an eariler version installed
Fixed ExtUtils::Installed so packlists work on VMS
ExtUtils::MM_VMS test had a stupid typo that prevented most of the tests from running.
Fixing VMS so 'mmk' is always 'mmk all' (bleadperl 15218)
ExtUtils::MM_Any->catfile was calling catdir
Added Ken William's "speed up ExtUtils::Manifest" patch.
Added Nick Clark's return value of manifest routines patch (bleadperl@14978)
Merging in bleadperl changes (14438, 14453, 14611, 14612, 14622, 14655, 14677, 14688, 14902, 15023, 15187, 15367)
bleadperl change 15325 (VMS 'mmk all' hack) rejected.
ExtUtils::MM_Any->test_via_harness() now using -MExtUtils::testlib instead of -I's. This keeps the command line shorter on VMS, but it means TEST_LIB doesn't work anymore. May prove problematic.
PERLRUN now uses FULLPERL instead of PERL. This avoids accidental use of miniperl. May cause problems in the core.
Fixed test_via_harness() on VMS so it uses PERLRUN.
ExtUtils::Manifest wrongly handling MANIFEST on VMS.
ExtUtils::Manifest::maniskip broken due to misuse of /o on a regex.

Changes for version 5.50_01 - 2002-03-04

[[ API Changes ]] htmlifypods and all HTML targets have been removed. It didn't work properly. A target for HTMLifying of docs will be added sometime in the future (read: send a patch).
Deprecated ROOTEXT variable removed (its been deprecated for more than five years).
Removed ExtUtils::Miniperl from the CPAN distribution. Can't see how its useful outside the core.
[[ New Features ]]
Emacs backup files (ie. *~) are no longer copied into blib (this means you won't get Foo.pm~ accidentally installed anymore).
prefixify() now returns if the prefixification worked or not.
added the Perl patchlevel info to the description embedded in DLLs (Ilya Zakharevich perl change 14810)
[[ Bug Fixes ]]
5.49_01 broke anything that depended on the MM class to be loaded with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, like CPAN. Temporarily fixed.
Many places wrongfully assume MM methods can be called as class methods! Inside and outside of MakeMaker.
DOS now acts like Win32 instead of Unix. This should be less wrong.
Netware tweak from Ananth Kesari (perl change 14780)
[[ Doc Changes ]]
made the docs about the behavior of PREFIX a bit more vague reflecting its odd behavior.
Replaced references to %Config with things people are more likely to understand in PREFIX & LIB docs.
Put PREFIX before LIB in the docs.
[[ Internal Refactorings ]]
File::Spec wrappers consolidated in MM_Any
test_via_harness/script consolidated in MM_Any
Added ExtUtils::Command::MM to replace large -e "one-liners"
Added ExtUtils::MM_UWIN, took UWIN specific code out of MM_Unix.
Added ExtUtils::MM_DOS, took some DOS specific code out of MM_Unix
Added a dist() override to MM_OS2.
Took the OS/2 specific code out of MM_Unix's dist()
Starting to quote as many command line switches as possible to make VMS have to override less of MM_Unix.

Changes for version 5.49_01 - 2002-02-04

Default TEST_LIBS now contains absolute paths, so tests can chdir without breaking @INC.
Some bug fixes in MM_Win32 were missing in MM_NW5.
LLIBPERL was not being set.
Gisle Aas fixed a warning in prompt when the user hits ctrl-D or pipes STDIN to /dev/null.
VMS's test is now a proper ->can check.
Stray newline in Command.t causing havoc (bleadperl 14441)
Lots of internal changes. Everything from here on is an internal change.
Broke ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid out into its own .pm. Temporary.
Broke MM and MY out into their own .pm's. Possibly temporary.
Broke ExtUtils::MM_Win95 out of ExtUtils::MM_Win32. MM_Win95 is now an MM_Win32 subclass.
Removed wrapper methods from ExtUtils::Liblist that were defering File::Spec loading. Almost everything uses File::Spec
Changed most of the 'our's to 'use vars' in prep for 5.005_03 backporting
Changed ExtUtils::MakeMaker->import(...) cargo-cultery in MM_* modules to proper "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(...)"
All non-Unix MM_* modules now directly inherit from MM_Unix. They did this before, but in a round-about way.
MM_* modules no longer directly muck with @MM::ISA. Instead @MM::ISA does that itself.
Removed unnecessary require of Exporter in many MM_* modules.
MM_Cygwin was using an MM_Unix function directly without have explicitly required MM_Unix.
Most of MM_NW5 was redundant with MM_Win32. So MM_NW5 is now a subclass of Win32 and the reduendant code has been deleted.
Replaced lots of calls to File::Spec->updir, curdir and rootdir with a global in MM_Unix. Should make things a bit faster.
Untabified ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I hate tabs.
"Which MM subclass should I use" logic moved from EU::MakeMaker to EU::MM.
Deprecated EU::MakeMaker::Version_check deleted.

Changes for version 5.48_04 - 2002-01-21

Now tested to work with a clean 5.6.1
Stripped out $Revision based $VERSIONs.
Rolled in patches from p5p, vmsperl & VOS (14325, 14338, 14360, 14364)
hint files now run in a safer context. Only $self is available.
ExtUtils::testlib now provides absolute paths into @INC. No longer obsolete
Little test fixes

Changes for version 5.48_03 - 2002-01-17

moved bin/inst to bin/instmodsh
Some Win32 backporting fixes. The -x switch doesn't seem to work on Win32/5.6.1.
Bug on Win32. MAKEMAKER variable not set properly.
_02 broke hints files. Now fixed.
Minor prereq error formatting glitch
ExtUtils::testlib no longer a thin wrapper around blib, now a thin wrapper around lib like it was. blib is noisy on 5.6.1.
Nick and chromatic found and fixed some warnings in the tests

Changes for version 5.48_02 - 2002-01-16

Fixed some Win32 warnings. Needs more work.

Changes for version 5.48_01 - 2002-01-16

Adapted from bleadperl@14303
Backported to 5.6.1
inst and xsubpp moved out of lib/ and into bin/
ExtUtils::testlib obsoleted. Now a thin wrapper around blib.pm ***--> Non-Unix platforms not tested at all! Please test and report back. Tests probably only need minor fixes.
