Changes for version 1.048 - 2019-04-29

  • Fix RT#129312: Code signing for OSX
    • Apply pull request from Philip Kime, adds a small program that will fix up an executable generated by pp so that MacOS codesigning will accept it, see contrib/pp_osx_codesign_fix/pp_osx_codesign_fix.c
    • Since codesigning will append currently ~180 KB to an executable, increase the offsets from the end of the file where Archive::Zip and PAR::Packer will look for their respective signatures.
  • Fix GitHub issue #12: sha1.c warnings due to inconsistent USE_64_BIT_INT
    • Do not "inline" sha1.c (into main.c and boot.c vi mktmp.c), instead just link to it. There's no reason that callers of sha_init/sha_update/sha_final should know about the implementation of SHA_INFO.
    • myldr/sha1.c: stop including perl.h etc, instead pass the necessary #define's via the compile command
  • Fix GitHub issue #13: `par.exe -b` failure with Portable::Config
    • Note to users of Strawberry Perl *portable* installations: There's a bad interaction between a Strawberry *portable* installation if you also have a *standard* Strawberry installation installed in C:\strawberry. Under certain conditions, parl created by the portable installation may have have a built-in @INC of [ C:\strawberry\perl\lib, C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib, C:\strawberry\perl\vendor\lib ], i.e. pointing to the *standard* installation. This will cause it to load modules from the *standard* installation. If the versions of the two installations are different, this may cause weird failures.
  • Always require Digest::SHA, remove ugly alternatives
  • Make "pp -e 0" work, apparently nobody noticed
