(period) characters from the end of the includes directory array, which might allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse module under the current working directory.

Changes for version 3.00_05 - 2011-07-27

  • Define PERL_UNUSED_ARG for pre-3.8.9 perls. This should fix the tests on those perls.

Changes for version 3.00_04 - 2011-07-27

  • Require perl 5.8.1.
  • Patches from CPAN RT #53938, #61908 Both of these are attempts to fix win32 problems: Bug #61908 for ExtUtils-ParseXS: MSWin compilers and back-slashed paths Bug #53938 for ExtUtils-ParseXS: MinGW Broken after 2.21

Changes for version 3.00_03 - 2011-07-22

  • Add some diagnostics when xsubpp fails to load a current-enough version of ExtUtils::ParseXS. [Steffen Mueller]
  • Add a check to Makefile.PL that scans @INC to determine whether the new xsubpp will be shadowed by another, existing xsubpp and warn the user vehemently. [Steffen Mueller]

Changes for version 3.00_02 - 2011-07-14

  • Move script/xsubpp back to lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp The original move caused old xsubpp's to be used.

Changes for version 3.00_01 - 2011-07-12

  • Major refactoring of the whole code base. It finally runs under 'use strict' for the first time!
    • James Keenan, Steffen Mueller
  • Typemaps can now be embedded into XS code using a here-doc like syntax and the new "TYPEMAP:" XS keyword.
    • Steffen Mueller
  • Move typemap handling code to ExtUtils::Typemaps with full object-oriented goodness. [Steffen Mueller]
  • Check API compatibility when loading xs modules. If on a new-enough perl, add the XS_APIVERSION_BOOTCHECK macro to the _boot function of every XS module to compare it against the API version the module has been compiled against. If the versions do not match, an exception is thrown. [Florian Ragwitz]
  • Fixed compiler warnings in XS. [Zefram]
  • Spell-check [Peter J. Acklam]
