=head1 WHATS NEW IN SCRIPTALICIOUS
=head2 VERSION 1.17
=over
=item Fix deadlock with C<out =E<gt> sub { ... }>
Between Perl versions 5.17.5 and 5.17.6, a change was introduced which
exposed a common pipe deadlock bug in this module, if you used closures
which handle filehandles. [closes: RT#85999]
=back
=head2 VERSION 1.16
=over
=item Clear PERL5OPT before invoking $^X in tests
To hopefully resolve some false failures
=item Fix code for case when Time::HiRes is not available
I never got a report about this, but it clearly didn't work! Guess
no-one's using a Perl before 5.7.3 or without that module any more.
=item put the magic AUTOLOAD back
Scriptalicious will do most of its core stuff without compiling most
of itself, and there is an AUTOLOAD hook which puts them into place.
I decided to re-enable it.
=item remove (soft) dependency on Pod::Constants
Scriptalicious scripts are less delicious without a working --help,
and many systems did not bother with this soft dependency, so it is
of benefit to just implement what that code did instead.
=item new $CONFIG variable
Used for telling where config was read from (or specifying where it is
to be read from)
=item deal with negative values in sci_unit and time_unit
These functions didn't deal with negative input; fix that.
=back
=head2 VERSION 1.15
=over
=item Add missing copyright notices and license.
Gah, sorry about this. Note that it is a retrospective license, so
you don't need to 'upgrade' to this version to copy the software.
=back
=head2 VERSION 1.14
=over
=item 5.6.x compat: fix missed instance of unquoted filehandle in test suite
=back
=head2 VERSION 1.13
=over
=item 5.6.x compat: don't use readline FH; use <FH> instead
=item Don't die if getconf is called without YAML installed; warn instead
=item Make YAML config test conditional on YAML being installed
=item Fix incorrectly written e-mail address in Makefile.PL
=item Remove TODO file; these features have been added!
=back
=head2 VERSION 1.12
=over
=item Add getopt_lenient()
=item Add time_unit() function
=item Use time_unit instead of sci_unit in show_elapsed/show_delta
=item Fix test that was still testing for ยต
=back
=head2 VERSION 1.11
=over
=item Drop C<Module::Build> dependency
Go back to C<ExtUtils::MakeMaker>.
=item Fix various problems with prompt_*
=item Add C<hush_exec> and C<unhush_exec> functions
=item Make C<getopt()> optional for getting verbosity right
=item Functions don't clobber $_ (Gerard Goosen)
=back
=head2 VERSION 1.10
Add prompt_file from an earlier branch.
Fix F<Build.PL> so a compatibility Makefile.PL is generated.
=head2 VERSION 1.09
Another "brown paper bag release". Fixed a bug in tsay that would
cause it not to work if there was a true value in $1 already. Bring
on Perl 6 and lexical $/.
=head2 VERSION 1.08
Added new functions 'anydump' and the awesome 'tsay'
=head2 VERSION 1.07
Brown paper bag release - the prompting had some debug statements
left behind.
=head2 VERSION 1.06
Documentation modifications only; it was quite rightly pointed out
that the documentation didn't really say what the script is useful
for.
=head2 VERSION 1.05
=over
=item B<Prompting>
Prompt the user for arbitrary things via prompt_for(-int => "foo"),
with readline support.
=item B<Filehandle Plugging and Playing>
All functions that run things (ie C<run()>, C<run_err()>, C<capture()>
and C<capture_err()> can now have arbitrary filehandle connections to
closures (via a sub-process), named files or filehandles.
=back
=head2 VERSION 1.04
Bug fix for scripts that fork (see F<t/04-fork.t>)
=head2 VERSION 1.03
=over
=item B<YAML config file support>
Do your C<getopt()> and C<YAML::Load()> in one pass! See C<getconf()>
in the man page.
You can even include the default YAML configuration file in your POD
via Pod::Constants! Soon to be documented and tested by the test
suite :). But the daring can go put some YAML in a section called
"C<DEFAULT CONFIGURATION FILE>"
=item B<Quick and dirty timer functions>
New timer utility functions C<start_timer()>, C<show_delta()>,
C<show_elapsed()>
=item bugfix
C<barf()> now does not make your script exit if inside C<eval {}>; it
checks C<$^S> and re-throws the error instead.
=back
