  on VMS. See RT #46288 for details.

  Non-VMS users need not upgrade

0.44    Mon May  4 10:13:19 CEST 2009

* Apply core patch to silence diagnostics during perl 

  core tests. Users of 0.42 need not upgrade.

0.42    Fri Oct 10 11:42:28 CEST 2008

* Promote 0.41_07 to stable as it passes tests on all

  CPAN Testers platforms now. 

0.41_07 Sun Oct  5 18:18:15 CEST 2008

* This release addresses issues for Win32 commands using quoted

  strings containing whitespace. Non Win32 users need not upgrade.

* Copy in Module::Build::Platform::Windows->split_like_shell, as 

  Text::ParseWords::shelwords() uses UNIX semantics, which breaks on

  Win32. Now IPC:Cmd uses ->split_like_shell on Win32, and shellwords()

  on a UNIX like platform.

* Export QUOTE and add docs for it to allow users to pick a platform

  agnostic quote character.

* Utility functions to check for ipc::run and ipc::open3 presence

  now return their respective version

* Use '"' (double quote) as quote character in all the whitespace tests 

  -- they only contain constants

* Improved diagnostics in test suite, so it's easier to see what

  configuration failed from a single line of test output

* Disable gzip test in production releases

0.41_06 Wed Sep 24 17:03:14 CEST 2008

* Add missing source file for tests. Users of 0.41_05

  need not upgrade.

0.41_05 Mon Sep 22 14:22:45 CEST 2008

* Address whitespace issues in commands: if the full command 

  contains special chars (ie, <,>,|,&) it needs to be stringified 

  for system() and ipc::open3 or the special chars are escaped

  as arguments to the command. So, if you pass an arrayref as

  command, we'll stringify it.

  Of course that conflicts with arguments containing whitespace, 

  so if we need to stringify we'll also attempt to fixup any 

  arguments that have whitespace with the OS specific quote.

* Added tests for pipes, whitespace and pipes + whitespace to make

  sure our fix works

* Documentation on whitespace updated accordingly.

0.41_04 Mon Jul 14 15:54:57 CEST 2008

* Forgot to add new test file. Users of 0.41_03 

  need not to upgrade.

0.41_03 Sun Jul 13 14:59:44 CEST 2008

* Address #36365: IPC::Cmd error reporting by adding extra

  diagnostics on failure and pretty printing of errors

* Fix the issue that caused many testers failures:

  When _ipc_open3_run is interrupted by an alarm, the FDs were

  not being restored, causing subsequent processes to not have

  access to STDIN.

* Add more diagnostics to 01.t

* Add tests for interleaving stdout/stderr, which are now TODO

  Record this as #37532: Unable to interleave STDOUT and STDERR

  Mention this in the Caveats sections of the docs

0.41_02 Sun Jun 29 17:38:47 CEST 2008

* Implement timeouts for commands (#36437)

0.41_01 Sun Apr  6 14:10:17 CEST 2008

* Strip empty whitespace from array ref commands -- some 

  commands can't deal with an empty argument after (like 

  make) and will exit with an error because of it

* Address 29532, 29723 and 32187 which all have issues 

  with using arguments containing whitespace. IPC::Cmd 

  can now deal with arguments with whitespace properly

  using IPC::Run, Open3 and system.

  Tests are added for this.

* Apply patch from John M. ipc::open3 does not work on 

  OpenVMS because it claims that it needs fork().

* Merge the 2 test routines for stdout/stderr tests by 

  making the buffer to inspect a variable

0.40    Wed Oct 17 10:57:11 CEST 2007

* Promote 0.39_01 to stable. Users who already have

  0.38 installed do not need to upgrade. This is merely

  a test suit portability fix for perl 5.005

0.39_01 Tue Oct 16 10:59:35 CEST 2007

* Address test failure on 5.00505 by using 2-arg

  version of open, instead of 3-arg version.

0.38    Thu Oct 11 17:04:28 CEST 2007

* Address perlbug [perl #46293] IPC::Cmd can lose stderr 

* Apply [perl #46111] [PATCH] Add tests for stderr-only 

  in IPC::Cmd to test for that bug

0.36    Fri Nov 24 14:55:56 CET 2006

* 3-arg open doesn't work on 5.6.2 properly, so we changed

  to the 2-arg form of open. This to avoid errors as seen

  in this report:

  http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/363646

0.34    Fri Oct 20 15:13:23 CEST 2006

* use Carp::carp explicitly

0.32    Fri Oct 13 13:08:23 CEST 2006

* Fix logic to detect IPC::Open3 usability on various platforms

* Propogate the programs exit code properly when using IPC::Open3

* Make IPC::Run a dependency on request

0.30    Wed Oct 11 13:00:40 CEST 2006

* 0.29_01 upgraded to stable.

0.29_01 Thu Oct  5 16:34:44 CEST 2006

* Rework IPC::Cmd heavily to work better on win32

* Add $WARN as global variable

* Pass parents STDOUT/STDERR to IPC::Open3 to attach STDOUT/STDERR to

  the current tty. This doesn't support capturing buffers, but there

  seems no way to do this, without using Win32::* modules.

0.25    Wed Sep  6 17:32:18 CEST 2006

* Add proper interactive support for IPC::Open3

  Thanks to James Mastros and Martijn van de

  Streek

* Add an interactive test file for this support

  (skipped under Test::Harness)
