Changes for version 20081111 - 2008-11-11

  • Build Improvements
  • Moved building the program to check the limits of time.h to the code step to avoid having a configure_requires on ExtUtils::CBuilder.
  • Also made it quiessent and not rebuild itself unless necessary.
  • Added some sane min/max limits to the time.h limit check to avoid going wildly out of range and tickling system bugs that cause the whole thing to hang.
  • Improved the limit check so now it's a real binary search.
  • Fixed a number of off-by-one and overflow errors in the limit check.
  • Added debugging information to the limit check program.
  • Doc Improvements
  • Added the location of the repository.
  • Gave a more specific location to submit bugs to.
  • Added an INSTALL file.
