CHANGES

Revision history for Sys::SigAction.

Changes in Sys::SigAction 0.08 11 Oct 2006

Add extra protection to test of $attrs->(safe} when the perl version is between 5.8 and 5.8.2, thanks to Francesco Duranti. Now test for it being defined before testing it's value. It would be a pretty bizarre case for that to happen, but... belt and suspenders... is 'safe'.

Fix warning in safe.t which referred to attrs.t (old test name) which was renamed to mask.t, to refer to mask.t.

Changes in Sys::SigAction 0.07 09 Oct 2006

Version 0.06 broke in perl < 5.8.2... (who uses that any more!!!) Well someone does... at least on RedHat... I did (do) claim backwards compatibility... So I fixed it right this time, by checking the perl version before called the safe accessor on the POSIX::SigAction object.

Still no good test for safe mode... be prepared to send me a test if you think safe signal handling is broken... for sure I could not get it to work the way I think it should with with deferred signals.

Changes in Sys::SigAction 0.06 25 June 2006

Fix setting of SAFE flag in POSIX::sigaction. In response to CPAN bug: http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19916 Thanks to Steve Purk?, for point this out.

This required NOT setting safe=>1 (changing to to safe=>0) in t/attrs.t and the the dbd-oracle test script.

A new test for safe=>1 needs to be developed, which explicitly tests deferred signal handling. I would welcome such a contribution.

Modify forever() in timeout.t so just loop instead of trying to read from STDIN, which apparently does not block or immediately returns an error on some platforms or test environments
