More whack-a-mole with Windows failures. This time, it's POSIX::mkfifo dying on Windows instead of returning undef like the docs implied, or at least that I inferred.
ENHANCEMENTS
--create-ackrc keeps the comments that describe each of the options, and it shows the ack version number.
Changes for version 2.13_04 - 2014-01-04
FIXES
Fixed incorrect deduping of config files under Windows. Thanks, Denis Howe.
Changes for version 2.13_03 - 2014-01-02
FIXES
More build fixes for Windows. Windows config finder fixes from James McCoy.
t/ack-named-pipes.t uses POSIX::mkfifo instead of the external command, which should be more portable. Thanks, Pete Krawczyk.
ENHANCEMENTS
Now ignores Cabal (Haskell) sandboxes. Thanks, Fraser Tweedale.
Added filetypes for Jade, Smarty and Stylus. Thanks, Raúl Gundín.
Changes for version 2.13_02 - 2013-12-27
FIXES
The building of ack-standalone relied on the output of `perldoc -l`, which I apparently can't rely on having been installed. I've changed the way that the squash program finds File::Next.
Changes for version 2.13_01 - 2013-12-25
So this is Christmas And what have you done I'm sitting here hacking On ack 2.13_01
via Pete Krawczyk
FIXES
Issue #313: ack would fail when trying to check files for readability on some networked filesystems, or on Mac OS X with ACLs. Now it uses the filetest pragma. Thanks, Jonathan Perret.
INTERNALS
ack's entire test suite now runs under Perl's -T taint flag. We'll build more security tests on top of this.
Added some checks to the squash program that I hope will turn up errors in the Windows builds.
