pumpkin.
2010-02-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andk@cpan.org>
* release 1.94_55

Reported by Joshua B Jore and patched by David Golden

2009-12-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andk@cpan.org>
* release 1.88
* For detailed changes since 1.87 see the entries in the Changes file.
For finer grained change log see the ChangeLog.svn file. The highlights
of this release are:
* convenient configuration: dialogs for individual items or groups of
items can be accessed with a single command (Courtesy Jim Cromie)
* experimental support for CPAN::Reporter: try
o conf init /test/
(Courtesy David Golden)
* make installation of scripts easier: try something like
install SREZIC/pingomatic-1.012
(Courtesy Slaven Rezic)
* colored output for better separation of process output, messages from
CPAN and warnings from CPAN: to turn colorization on/off try
o conf init /color/
* formatting of lists of modules now features a column to indicate
installed and updateable modules
* signature checking can now be turned on and off with 'o conf check_sigs'
* new command 'upgrade' installs newest version of all installed modules
* Please note a minor incompatibility: the init dialog now has reversed
semantics: it suggests automatic configuration that can be confirmed
with 'yes' instead of suggesting manual configuration that can be denied
with 'no'.
2006-09-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_65
* Hunting missing documentation with Test::Pod::Coverage because my
first try to use it started with a wrong copy&paste.
* Forward compatibility: bzip2 via Archive::Tar not dying anymore
2006-09-16 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_64
* added test for the urllist dialog
* added License to all pm files and to the Makefile.PL
* allow ranges in urllist dialog, as inspired by Andrew Strebkov
* allow "o conf init WORD WORD2..."
* address #21484: disable inactivity_timeout when d_alarm is not "define"
* regex in "o conf init MATCH" must now be enclosed in slashes as in all
other commands that allow regexes
* again tested with 5.8.0, this time with an UTF8 locale and it did
indeed not pass the 30test: turning LANG=C now for the 30shell test,
unconditionally
* all supported config variables now documented in the POD and added a
test to monitor changes in the future
2006-09-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_63
* should run on 5.8.0 now
* address #17973: always honour user defined URLs over default URLs
2006-09-11 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_62
* make term_ornaments switchable while running (was only checked during
initialization)
* verify that color settings are applicable (bad colors were killing the
shell process completely)
* improve wording and logic when user is offline and tries to run
the urllist dialog. (Address debian bug #380551)
2006-09-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_61
* configuation of urllist uses a local urllist instead of the global
configured one: prevents that ^C accidentally kills the currently
configured urllist
* configuration of urllist: if there is already a previous pick, one can
go through the dialog with RETURN only
* new options to get colored output: colorize_output, colorize_print,
colorize_warn
2006-09-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_59: "o conf init MATCH" finally works and can be used to
jump into the configuration dialog and select an arbitrary subset of
questions.
* perl -I. -MCPAN ... now works because we replaced C<no lib .> with
rel2absing the INC (suggested by Slaven Rezic)
2006-08-31 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release 1.87_58: work is still in progress to get "o conf init MATCH"
working (finishing the epochal Jim Cromie patches) but all tests pass
* initial configuration dialogue now has reversed meaning: automatic
configuration can be confirmed with 'yes' instead of having to deny
manual configuration with 'no'
* fix a bug reported by David Golden, that Bundle::CPAN is never
( run in 1.634 second using v1.01-cache-2.11-cpan-ceb78f64989 )
