Changes file for IPC::Run3

0.046 2013-06-11
  replace a die with a croak (thanks, Mike Doherty)

  typo fixes in documentation (thanks, David Steinbrunner)

0.045 2011-12-23
  skip a test that tickles an OpenBSD bug and hangs the process (thanks,
  BinGOs)

0.044 2010-08-22
  ignore user-defined __DIE__ handler in _type (Jeff Lavallee)
  Added test for __DIE__ handler behavior

0.043	2009-05-30
	No code changes
	add repository location to META.yml
	avoid hand-written META.yml by using META_MERGE

0.042	2008-08-09
	No code changes
	Rewrite a test in t/utf8.t that runs afoul of a misfeature
	  in Perl 5.8.0 (turn on ":utf8" by default on all filehandles
	  when running in a UTF8 locale; fixed since 5.8.1)

0.041	2008-08-03
	Handle arbitrary binmode() layers in "binmode_*" options; for
	  backward compatibility, any true option that doesn't start
	  with ":" is treated as ":raw"
	  NOTE: This does work for the built-in layers, e.g. ":utf8",
	  but all bets are off for fancier stuff like ":via(...)" .
	Add an option "return_if_system_error" that causes run3()
	  to refrain from throwing an exception when system() returns -1
	  (cf. RT 14272).

0.040	2007-12-26
	major rewrite of pod:
	  - describe all possible forms of redirectors
	  - list available options
	  - explain how run3() works
	fix #31343 by using the three argument form of open() for files;
	  unfortunately that isn't available before Perl 5.6.0,
	  hence "use 5.006_00"; also use lexical filehandles everywhere
	implement options append_{stdout,stderr}; add test cases
	edit META.yml so that the profiling modules IPC::Run3::Prof*
	  (which aren't of general use) won't show on CPAN

0.039	2007-11-01
  avoid some warnings while testing profiler (thanks, SCOP)

0.038	2007-10-08
  remove use warnings for 5.005 compat (thanks, David Golden)

0.037	2006-09-19
  document license more clearly for META.yml

0.036	2006-09-19
  document more clearly the return value of run3

0.035	2006-07-27
  remove requirement for Test::Pod and ::Coverage just to build

0.034	2005-12-12
	skip t/fork.t on MSWin32 (and Cygwin):
	  Win32 threads (and fork() is emulated via threads) in the
	  same process share the same STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR, hence
	  the method used by run3() (redirect STD* and then call system())
	  doesn't work here and IO crossover is to be expected -
	  a possible alternative on Win32 would be to use CreateProcess
	  which lets you explicitly specify three filehandles for the
	  new process' STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR; however Win32::Process::Create()
	  (from the libwin32 CPAN distribution) as omitted these
	  parameters from the Perl wrapper
	add a note to the documentation about the problems with
	  concurrent calls to run3 in a threaded environment
	  (incl. fork() on Win32)
	make sure all tests run with warnings on

0.033	2005-11-15
	make documentation in IPC/Run3/ProfReporter.pm comply with
	  older versions of Pod::Coverage (fixes bug #15749)
	new version of t/fork.t that will work on Windows
	  (there are still unresolved issues on Cygwin)
	switch t/fd_leak.t to use Test::More and relax file descriptor check
	  to "same or fewer fd's after the call to run3 than before",
	  because Darwin 7.2 sometimes actually report fewer fd's
	  (fixes bug #15741)
	extricated some dead code from IPC/Run3.pm that
	  resulted in 6 unused file descriptors
	fix call to binmode missing a filehandle in IPC/Run3.pm
        fix warnings in test scripts

0.032	2005-10-19
        comaint granted to RSCHUPP (thanks, barry!)
        fix bug #15003 "Data corruption with fork when both parent
          and child use run3":
          - purge %fh_cache when we detect that a fork has happened
          - add t/fork.t to detect "crossover" between child processes
          - fix (and test) only works on Unix, Windows has more
            problems with run3 from a forked (pseudo) process
        fix prereq - should specify 0 (not 1) if any version will do
	added tests for redirection to/from filehandles to t/IPC-Run3.t

0.031   2005-09-27

0.020   2005-07-12 08:39:00 EST

        add Time::HiRes prereq
        add Win32 prereq on Win32
        add () to gettimeofday call to make debugger happy
        properly handle redirection to filehandle
        properly handle failure to start program

        use dup2() to overwrite STDIN for the child

        debugging support.  TODO: Add more debugging warnings.
