C h a n g e L o g o f e P e r l
___________________________________________________________________________
Changes between 2.1.1 and 2.1.2
-------------------------------
970529 o fixed a typo in eperl_security.h
which caused problems for non GCC
compilers, e.g. under IRIX.
[Thanks to Ewan McPhail
<ewan@epages.iafrica.com> for hint]
Changes between 2.1.0 and 2.1.1
-------------------------------
970501 o added -P option to etc/newsvers
o removed \n at SCRIPT_.._CTIME
970502 o replaced the $| = 1 stuff in eperl_perl5.c to the way
mod_perl does it
[Thanks to Doug MacEachern <dougm@osf.org> for patch]
o enhanced the SetUID-based UID/GID checking: now in
eperl_global.h is an option DO_ON_FAILED_STEP which
either forces ePerl to error on any failed checks or go
on but finally don't do the UID/GID switching
o moved the security definitions from eperl_global.h to
a new eperl_security.h and changed the references in
eperl.pod
Changes between 2.1b8 and 2.1.0
-------------------------------
970426 o removed more obsolete @logfile@ stuff
o again revised eperl.pod
o !! CHANGED LICENSE !!
NOW ePerl IS DISTRIBUTED AT THE TERMS
OF EITHER THE GPL OR THE ARTISTIC LICENSE
LIKE THE Perl 5.0 INTERPRETER ITSELF
o fixed /tmp/x usage in configure
o created PORTING file
o tested ePerl on various platforms
o made seteuid/setegid configureable
via GNU autoconf for HP/UX and others

conditional
o made the -O2 conditional for GCC only

-------------------------------
970425 o fixed installation manpath
o fixed a security hole: the
effective uid/gid have to be eliminated
independend of mode and uid switching
o fixed some typos in eperl.pod
o rewritten the NEWS file
o renamed the options:
-D => -d, -E => -D (more intuitive)
-b => -B, -e => -E (prevent conflicts)

Changes between 2.1b6 and 2.1b7
-------------------------------

970414 o slightly changed the error message page
970418 o created -c for syntax check like "perl -c"
o now the default delimiters are
<? .. !> for CGI modes
and <: ...:> for Filter mode
o removed the delimiters defs in eperl_global.h
but added a table to eperl.pod
o completely rewritten the setuid security stuff !!
o added security information to eperl.pod
o now -x does something useful: it outputs
the internally generated Perl script to /dev/tty
and exits
Changes between 2.1b4 and 2.1b5
-------------------------------
970404 o now when used as a Unix filter the exit code
is != 0 on error while for CGI scripts it is
still 0 (needed to make the webserver happy
and to force him to accept your HTML error page).
o now prints the error message on stderr instead
of stdout in Unix filter mode
o fixed "make distclean", now t/Makefile is
also removed.
Changes between 2.1b3 and 2.1b4
-------------------------------
970403 o fixed a bug in the b3 distribution:
autoheader was not run, so to _compile_
ePerl GNU autoconf was needed. :-(
o slight adjustments to eperl.pod
Changes between 2.1b2 and 2.1b3
-------------------------------
970402 o starting with Perl 5.003_96 the dXSUB_SYS define

-------------------------------
970326 o added "-o file" to the usage message

working directory is restored before the
final outputfile (-o) is created.
o documented that "-o outputfile" is
relative to source file dir when
runtime mode is CGI or NPH-CGI
o added new-betalevel to Makefile.in
Changes between 2.0.3 and 2.1b0
-------------------------------
970322 o released as 2.1b0 for first test
970310 o added --with-perl=/path/to/perl option
to ./configure to force a specific perl
970302 o removed getdate.c stuff :-(
o added more tests
o changed aux dir to etc for porting to WinNT :-(
970228 o debugged and cleanup up eperl_parse.c
o fixed the core-dump under SunOS which
comes from SunOS' non-POSIX vsprintf().
o removed the sdbm and md5 stuff because
this should be introduced in 3.0 later only.
o removed brainfile stuff
o fixed another coredump in eperl_parse.c
o fixed mode determination and mode-dependend
error message
970227 o debugged and cleanup up eperl_parse.c
970226 o added dmalloc support for debugging
970224 o changed sprintf stuff to more portable
variant in eperl_main.c
o now autoconf checks for memmove and
if not found eperl_parse.c uses bcopy.
970219 o changed bool checking to Autoconf stuff
970216 o ported to Linux: now bool is defined,
prefix was replaced by AC_prefix to avoid collisions and the
ccdlflags from Perl are used which need to be -rdynamic under
Linux. Now ePerl compiles out of the box on Linux and runs fine,
even with dynamic loading.
970210 o added getdate() code
o added --enable-brainfile=/path/to/brainfile
which sets the brain file where timestamps and
md5 etc. are stored.
o added -a option to set an age
970209 o added MD5 code
o added SDBM code
970207 o changed -c and -s options to -m c and -m f
o adding -m n for NPH/CGI, -m c is no only CGI
o added stdin support via "-" and tmpfiles
o added automatic tmpfile support with remove
on interrupts or errors
o now the old tempfiles are also created
with new mechanism
o added -o option for specifying an
explicit outputfile instead of stdout
o greatly imporved the manpage and brroght it
to the latest status
o created a test suite with Perl Test::Harness
o now ePerl also accepts an empty file
o added a security logfile which can be optionally
enabled via "--enable-logfile=/path/to/logfile"
at compile time.
o added configure support for debug compilation
via --enable-debug. This adds -g -ggdb3 to
the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS and prevents the
executable from being stripped.
o removed the old doc/ subdir with the
old FAQ and About file.
970206 o removed the generation of libeperl.a
o added a real installation target to Makefile
o removed eperl_parse.h, because it is still
replaced by the generated eperl_proto.h
o added -V option which now displays the compile
parameters
o removed the <tt>..</tt> tags from error output
because for the stand-alone version is looks bad.
o added experimental TAINT...TAINT_NOT around perl_run.
o added -d option to set real Perl variables and
not just $ENV{'...'};
970128 o added support to configure for Perl snapshot
releases named 5.003_XX.
o added a first security check: If operating in
NPH-CGI mode the source file has to be one of
the predefined valid file extensions.
o now when ePerl runs as a setuid program (seteuid = 0)
it switches to the uid/gid of the file owner
970127 o added -D option to set environment variables.
(this is needed for my WML project where in
pass 3 eperl gets called via -D...)
o added -k option to keep CWD.
(this is needed for my WML project where
ePerl should not chdir to the /tmp/xxx files).
970118 o make the BEGIN/END_DELIMITER strings variables which
now can be set via -b and -e
(this is needed for my WML project where I use
two variants of embedded Perl blocks)
970107 o fixed this changelog file
o added test directory
o cleanup of Makefile
o removed obsolete prototypes in eperl_lib.h
o cleaned up eperl_global.h
o make eperl_getopt.[ch] gcc -Wall clean
o added support for shebang usage, i.e. you can use #!/path/to/eperl
at the top of your pages and use them as a CGI script now. ePerl
will ignore the shebang line.
o moved the system IO and env functions out to new eperl_sys.c
o renamed eperl_lib to eperl_parse
o Hups! all references to the CGI/1.0 standard were wrong, it
actually is CGI/1.1...
970106 o added stand-alone interpreter with options
o added -x and -v options
o added README and LICENSE display
o now ePerl reads the file from stdin if
the argument is "-"
o added a ePerl manual page for the
stand-alone interpreter
