Changes for version 1.25 - 2007-07-31

  • Significant change - removed dependence on IPC::ClearTool. Still implements the same IPC interface but now using pure perl. There may be some differences in quoting behavior in edge cases - time will tell. One known but minor incompatibility is that the method formerly known as ->ipc_cleartool() and often abbreviated as ->ipc() is now known only as ->ipc(). The long name is no longer valid. On the other hand, signal handling ought to be more normal because there's no longer any messing around with process groups and sessions as was present in the XS code of IPC::ClearTool.
  • Minor speedup - the ->ctcmd method was loading CtCmd even when used only to check whether CtCmd was in use. It is now loaded only if it plans to use it. This is significant because CtCmd in turn loads a large number of DLLs.
