- Fix #66: patch myldr/boot for "pp --clean ..." without side effects
- make sure myldr/boot contains exactly one string of the form
"__PASS_PAR_CLEAN__ \0" so that there are no
duplicates that may get split on chunk boundaries
(myldr/boot_embedded_files.c)
- simplify patching of this string (in $loader) to
"__PASS_PAR_CLEAN__=1 \0" in script/par.pl
- add a test for #66 (check for ephemeral vs persistent cache directory)
- Revert "Fixes #62: rs6000_71 (AIX) "An offset in the .loader section header is too large.""
PAR_CLEAN is set too late: at this point PAR_TEMP has already
been set (and populated) to a persistent cache directory
(/tmp/par-USER/cache-SHA1) instead of an ephemeral one (/tmp/par-USER/temp-PID).
- Some code cleanup
- replace some magic numbers with constants
- use string interpolation (instead of concatenation)
- clean up some convoluted C code
1.055 2022-07-03
- Fix #62: rs6000_71 (AIX) "An offset in the .loader section header is too large."
Communicate pp option "--clean" to the generated executable in a
different way. Previously this was done by patching "__ENV_PAR_..." strings
**in the executable being built** and interpreting these strings in
par.pl **at runtime**. Though hacky, this seemingly worked on any OS
(without rendering the executable invalid).
But the only information ever passed was the value of PAR_CLEAN and this was
gleaned at build time from the value of JSONPath $par.clean from META.yml
in the zip (set by pp by option "--clean").
Instead read and interpret "META.yml" in par.pl **at runtime**.
- Fix: merge PR #58 from [email protected]:
Adding support for running MacOS Universal binaries created via 'lipo'
from already pp'ed and signed thin binaries
- Make writing stuff more robust: check return value of print()
and close() in some places.
1.054 2022-01-27
- Temporarily disable t/90-gh41.t (system("\\\\?\\some-absolute-path") fails)
1.053 2022-01-25
- Fix: merge PR #56 from from Philip Kime <[email protected]>:
Updating OSX codesign fix util with fix for automatically added ad-hoc signatures on OSX 12+
- Fix: merge PR #42 from Andrew-Kulpa/master:
Get exe size from file handle instead of path
- Fix: prevent TABs in literal makefile fragments from being expanded
- Cleanups:
- par_findprog(): pass a copy of argument `path´ to strtok()
- simplify searching for PAR magic
- consolidate die()s
- add a test for GitHub #41
- add error message when exec'ing the custom perl fails in myldr/boot
- untangle %require_list and %ModuleCache
1.052 2021-01-13
- add note that --filter and __DATA__ are incompatible (cf. #36, #39)
- change bugtracker to GitHub issues
- when embedding FILEs, normalize paths in @INC
- code cleanup:
- rename _tempfile() to _save_as()
- there is no $PAR::Heavy::ModuleCache, so make it a "my" variable
- consistent formatting in outs() calls
- demystify reading <$fh> with $/ = \$number: use "read $fh, $buf, $number" instead
- use "open $fh, '<:raw', ..." instead of "open $fh, '<', ...; binmode($fh);"
- make error messages more consistent
- make extract-embedded.pl more robust
- t/90-rt129312.t fails when Archive::Unzip::Burst is used
1.051 2020-11-29
- Fix #27: "pp -u broken in perl 5.32"
ignore "pp -u ..." (with a warning) for Perl >= 5.31.6
- Fix #25: unexpected interaction between pp options "--compile" and "--module Foo::"
scan_deps_runtime() is called for all detected Foo:: modules, but
modules by themselves are typically not suitable for dynamic scanning
(causing lots of spurious warnings for "--compile").
- cleanup argv handling in myldr/main.c
- placate cperl ("Attempt to change hash while iterating over it.")
1.050 2020-03-18
- Rethink use of Filter::PodStrip.
Do not add directives
#line 1 "file"
to packed modules except for "embdeded" files.
We still add these directives to "embedded" files as these are extracted
with mangled names which makes it hard to make sense of warn() or die() messages
caused by them. These are all core modules and don't reference __FILE__.
This should make use of __FILE__ in packed modules work without
workarounds. __FILE__ is typically used to refer to installed non-module
resources, e.g.
# MIME::Types
my $db = File::Spec->catfile(dirname(__FILE__), 'types.db');
# Mozilla::CA
my $ca_file = File::Spec->catfile(dirname(__FILE__), "CA", "cacert.pem");
# Mojo::File (__FILE__ used implicitly by caller())
sub curfile { __PACKAGE__->new(Cwd::realpath((caller)[1])) }
Hence, remove known workarounds from Filter::PatchContent and add a test.
- Fix RT#130685: core module detection doesn't work with -Duserelocatableinc
Original patch by [email protected], thanx!
Added a test for this.
1.049 2019-05-31
- Fix RT#129312: Code signing for OSX
Avoid Archive::Zip::Archive error "can't find EOCD signature" for pp'ed
executables with lots of stuff appended (e.g. by OSX codesign).
Note: This requires the corresponding fix in PAR in 1.016,
hence bump its required version.
Add a test by appending 512 kB to a pp'ed executable.
- Fix issue GitHub#15 (doesn't build with a relocatable version of perl)
If the perl used to build PAR::Packer is a relocatable perl,
i.e. it was build with -Duserelocatableinc, then myldr/par will
also be relocatable. Hence, the automagical default @INC for myldr/par
is something like ("myldr/../lib/5.x.y",
"myldr/../lib/site_perl/5.x.y", ...) which won't find any modules.
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

- Disable failing test cases in (Windows only) test t/90-rt122949.t
- Add .SEQUENTIAL to force non-parallel build when using dmake (e.g. on Windows)
1.046 2018-08-18
- Fix RT#126280: 90-rt122949.t fails when "Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" is enabled
- Fix https://github.com/rschupp/PAR-Packer/issues/7 "Parallel build rules dependancy problem"
Instead of fighting GNU make and EUMM, just punt and add a .NOTPARALLEL
target. Yeah, I know that this is specific to GNU make (though some
other make implementations support it, too).
- Add bugtracker to META.yml
1.045 2018-06-12
- Fix RT#125503: Fix build with 64-bit perl-5.28.0
Merged patch by Steve Hay, thanks!
1.044 2018-06-06
- Cope with the fact that PL_statbuf is gone since Perl 5.27.x.
This breaks PAR::Packer on systems where Perl's "Stat_t" is not
the same as "struct stat", notably Windows.
- Extract-embedded.pl: list (but not extract) the embedded files
if no directory is given
- Use the long option name "--link" in messages (as "-l" may easily be
confused with "-I" when view in a sans serif font).
1.043 2018-04-03
- Fix test failures on Windows
1.042 2018-04-02
- Fix PAR-Packer#5 "unintended glob expansion on strawberry win32?"
On Windows using Mingw set _CRT_glob=0 also in parl (the custom
Perl interpreter).
- Fix RT #124445 "Par-Packer 'falsifies' PerlTk server() and Win32 GetOSName() and GetOSVersion() output on Windows 10"
Add <compatibility> section to pp.manifest
(cf. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn481241(v=vs.85).aspx)
to make par.exe "Windows 10 aware".
- Add dependencies on stuff in myldr/winres to myldr/Makefile
- Fix parallel make: install modules into blib *before* recursing into "myldr"
1.041 2017-11-08
- Fix problem with --link libraries on MacOS
- libraries where packed into the wrong location in the zip
- hence they were not extracted into the cache area where they could
be found via DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
- hence the packed executable either couldn't find them or found incompatible
versions outside the cache area
- reported by Phil Kime
1.040 2017-10-21
- no changes to modules and scripts, only fixes for configure, build and test
- require a version of IPC::Run3 that gets shell quoting on Windows right
- restructure how we find the files to embed into boot.c
- avoid an error with newer gcc: "error: 'for' loop initial declarations
are only allowed in C99 or C11 mode"
- fix tests when running without "." in @INC even (even in tests)
1.039 2017-09-28
- Brown paper bag: add missing t/utils.pl
1.038 2017-09-27
- Fix "RT#122949: PAR-Packer-1.37 executables split arguments containing whitespace"
- on Windows, quote elements of argv array passed to spawnvp();
algorithm stolen from Win32::ShellQuote.
- introduce helper t/utils.pl to streamline tests
- require IPC::Run3 for test
- make test work with "dot-less" perl and PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=0
1.037 2017-05-28
- Fix RT#121268 for PAR-Packer: error installing PAR-Packer on windows10 ( 64Bit )
- on Windows, make dl_findfile() search first in the directory containing
the perl executable (to avoid erroneous hits in other members of PATH)
- Fix RT#120038: [PATCH] Fix build for VS2015 (VC++ 14)
and merge pull request from Steve Hay ([email protected])
- makes PAR::Packer work with VisualStudio 2015. Thanks, Steve!
- Fix RT#120041: --exclude gets confused by missing modules
- guard against Module::ScanDeps::_find_in_inc() returning ()
- Fail early when packing with a version of Perl
that's different frome the one PAR::Packer was built with.
Scenario: User has built and installed PAR::Packer (or got it
pre-packaged), then installs a newer version of Perl, then does
pp -o foo.exe foo.pl
But running foo.exe then fails with
foo.exe
C:\Users\jon\AppData\Local\Temp\parlzcPb.exe: Perl lib version (5.24.1) doesn't match executable 'perl.exe' version (5.24.0) at C:/Perl64/lib/Config.pm line 62.
Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl64/lib/Errno.pm line 10.
...
C:\Perl64\site\bin/pp: Failed to extract a parl from 'PAR::StrippedPARL::Static' to file 'C:\Users\jon\AppData\Local\Temp\parl3swwQJc.exe' at C:/Perl64/site/lib/PAR/Packer.pm line 1184, <DATA> line 1.
Now, pp will fail and with a more useful message.
- Switch from Module::Install to ExtUtils::MakeMaker
- Rewrite the library search (for "pp --link ...")
- start with $Config{libpth} which is *not* the runtime loader (e.g.
ld.so on Linux) search path, but rather the linker (ld) search path -
but it's the best guess without having to grok /etc/ld.so.conf
- augment that with $ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} or similar
- Rework how we determine the name under which a library should be installed
- use objdump (on Linux and other ELF-based OS) and otool on Darwin
- fall back to "chasing symlinks" otherwise
- Remove PAR_ARGV_*, PAR_ARGC stuff from script/par.pl and myldr/boot.c.
- Dunno what problem this obscure way of passing the command line arguments
from a packed executable to the custom Perl interpreter was intended
to fix, but arguments pass just fine through execvp (or spawnvp)
to perl_parse.
- Only set the environment variable for the shared library search path
(e.g. LD_LIBRARY_PATH) that is relevant for the operating system
that we're running on
- Use DynaLoader::dl_findfile to locate DLLs instead of homegrown stuff.
- Remove "par_base" - prebuilt .par's haven't been available for ages
1.036 2016-12-29
- Fix RT#118094: Race condition exists when building cache for pp built executables
- guard against concurrent extraction attempts
- bump "requires" on PAR to a version with additional guards
- Fix RT#118903: Does not install when '.' is not in @INC
- apply patch from Graham Ollis (PLICEASE), thanks!
- make the Module::Install stuff work in the "author" case
NOTE: "use lib '.'" does *not* work in this case
- Move to GitHub. Thanks, OpenFoundry, for years of service.
- add Perl_5 LICENSE file, make "repository" point to GitHub
- always refer to the included LICENSE file
- point bug reports to [email protected]
- add an empty file "inc/.author/.keep" as Git doesn't track empty
directories
- Fix RT #118053: Problem with packed perl archive for biber on 64-bit Cygwin
- embed cygcrypt-0.dll since it isn't (anymore) in the set of
default Cygwin packages
- Upgrade to Module::Install 1.17
1.035 2016-07-23
- Fix RT#116254: Compilation error under strawberry perl 5.24 x64
s/PP_VERSION/PAR_PACKER_VERSION/ as Strawberry Perl also defines
PP_VERSION (in c/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/wincrypt.h)
1.034 2016-07-17
- Fix RT#116056: Fixes for Cygwin build of PAR::Packer
- detect whether we're using a 32-bit or 64-bit perl
- fix elision of "-l<perl lib>" from $static_ldflags
- add $static_ldflags back to $boot_ldflags
- Add information to packed executable about which version
of PAR::Packer was used to build it (suggested by Johan Vromans):
- accessible from the packaged Perl script as $PAR::Packer::VERSION
- by looking for the string "Packed by PAR::Packer ..." in the executable
itself (using "strings exe | grep ..." or the like)
- Use ldd on cygwin, too
- NOTE: a "system lib" on cygwin is either in /usr/bin
or a Windows "system lib"
1.033 2016-05-19
- Fix RT#114229: v1.32 still won't install on strawberry perl v5.22.2
This is actually a problem caused by (some) newer versions of
ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
- Drop the "re-exec myself" in myldr/internals.c, may cause problems
on machines with low argv+env limits; the reason for this execvp()
is unknown and it's only relevant for standalone invocations of parl,
anyway (ie. NOT when running a packed executable)
- Really suppress generation of myldr/MYMETA.* and don't install
man pages for myldr/{Dynamic,Static}.pm (nothing there to see anyway).
1.032 2016-05-07
- Unbreak PAR::Packer for Perl 5.23.9 and higher:
Perl 5.23.9 removed the keys starting with "_<" from %::
script/par.pl used to glean the DLLs loaded via require_modules()
from these keys; replace them with @DynaLoader::dl_shared_objects.
- Fix RT#114155: Makefile.PL error - not loading ExtUtils::MakeMaker
- extract-embedded.pl: show starting offset of embedded files
1.031 2016-04-10
- Fix RT#113618: Strange issue with not packing libperl.dylib
Restore guessing what files to embed in myldr/Makefile.PL,
but make myldr/embed_files.pl ignore this list if it knows
a better way to determine these files. Also use "otools -h" on
OSX, as "otool --version" doesn't work on older versions of OSX.
Thanks to Phil Kime for help in investigating this.
- Implement namespace options for "-M" like ActiveState's perlapp:
pp now accepts "-M Foo::", "-M Foo:*" and "-M Foo:**".
Bump requirements for Module::ScanDeps to 1.21 for the helper
function to implement this.
- Fix RT#113463: Fix spelling error in manpage
Applied patch from the Debian Perl group. Thanks, guys!
1.030 2016-03-29
- Fix RT#111455: unable to use -x and -u with pp
RT#110480: Unpacking exe: File exists
Do not add %Preload dependencies of "-M" arguments to the list
of input files, this causes several problems (and doesn't gain anything).
- Fix RT#111896: PAR Question Solaris 10
Link myldr/boot only with what's actually required.
Move detection of libraries that should be embedded into myldr/boot
from myldr/Makefile.PL into myldr/embed_files.pl.
Get rid of guessing the shared libraries our custom Perl interpreter
is linked with (and hence have to be packed into boot_embedded_files.c) -
at least on platforms where we know how to determine the shared libraries
required by an executable:
- use "ldd" on Linux, Solaris and BDSs
- use "otool -L" on Mac OS X if available
- use "objdump -ax" on Windows if available (when using the Mingw toolchain)
- file2c.pl: switch back from array of unsiged to (hex encoded) strings.
At least for gcc, the former is much harder on the compiler, both
in CPU time and memory consumption.
- Skip a test if Archive::Unzip::Burst is detected (this messes up expected
mtimes for extracted files).
- Make a test work with early versions of Perl 5.8.x (x < 9) that have a bug
with compiled regexes and the /m modifier.
1.029 2016-01-12
- Add option "-u" ("--unicode") to pp to explicitly package Unicode support
- Remove all references to http://par.perl.org/, doesn't exist anymore
- Remove Internals::PAR::CLEARSTACK - it hasn't been enabled for ages,
causes segfaults if enabled and doesn't even compile with perl > 5.23.6
1.028 2015-11-19
- Fix RT#109123: v1.027 tests are not passed under windows
Apparently, even when called with a list, system() on Strawberry Perl
on Windows has a problem with arguments containing double quotes,
hence avoid them.
1.027 2015-11-18
- Add option -M Foo::Bar:: to pp (note the trailing double colon):
it adds Foo/Bar.pm and anything below Foo/Bar.
Bump required Module::ScanDeps version for
Module::ScanDeps::add_preload_rule() to implement this.
- Fix RT#109110: Incompatible with Module::ScanDeps 1.20
1.026 2015-07-19
- Fix RT#101800: [PATCH] Reinstate files to inc dir if deleted by external process
- The actual fix is in PAR (cf r1584) (add a "canary" file),
bump the required version of PAR, add a test.
- Find the "\nPAR.pm\n" signature in a .par (or packed executable)
even if it's not at end of the file (algorithm stolen from Archive::Zip's
search for the EOCD signature).
- This is intended to help code signing which may add stuff at the
end of the executable.
- Fix RT#104635 for PAR-Packer: IO error the first time an executable built by the packer is run on OSX
- Fix RT#104509: Problem signing PAR file,
and RT#104560: [PATCH] list added files in manifest
- Apply (slightly modified) patch by Shawn Laffan ([email protected])
from RT#104560. Thanks, Shawn!
- Make MIME::Types work "out of the box"
- pack its data file MIME/types.db
- patch the code to read MIME/types.db
- bump required version of Module::ScanDeps
(needed for MIME::Types %preload rule and fix for handling of
"open FH, '<:encoding(utf8)', ..." since that's what MIME::Types does)
- Bump requirement on PAR (for the fix for RT #103861), add a test.
- Update tkpp ito 1.5:
- using -M will now work (the current directory added in @INC)
- tkpp delete and test building file.
- Make pp fail when an unknown option is encountered.
- Remove PAR::Packer::_append_parl(), not called anywhere.
- Add license; update repository OpenFoundry repository URL
1.025 2015-01-24
- Fix PAR::Packer "make test" problem with Strawberry Portable
- Fix for PAR-Packer 1.024 with a nonstandard libperl.so name
Patch from [email protected], thanks!
- Fix #101662: Prevent shared libs from being cached in memory on AIX
Applied patch from [email protected], thanks.
Note: this is one half of the fix, the other is in PAR
1.024 2014-11-07
- Fix RT #99231: Problem with PAR::Packer 1.022 on Perl 5.20.1 and earlier.
Correct a typo to really fix this bug.
1.023 2014-11-02
- Fix RT #99231: Problem with PAR::Packer 1.022 on Perl 5.20.1 and earlier.
Add libwinpthreads*.dll to embedded files (used on recent
Strawberry builds). Patch by [email protected], thanks!
- Fix RT #63939: The behaviour of "pp --link ..." is subtly different between OSX and Linux.
Applied patch from [email protected], thanks!
- Bump required version of Module::ScanDeps,
makes t/90-rt59710.t pass again on perl 5.21.x
- die if a requested shared library (option -l) can't be found.
- Add a patch rule so that Mozilla::CA finds its (extracted) cacert.pem file.
- Rename ChangeLog file to Changes and reformat it
according to CPAN::Changes::Spec.
- Upgrade to Module::Install 1.14.
1.022 2014-09-19
- Fix RT#98955: installation fails | Can't locate String/ShellQuote.pm
Revert the fix for RT#98791: In order to be fullfilled at "perl Makefile.PL"
{String,Win32}::ShellQuote would need to be in the _distributed_
META.yml as "configure_require". But this can't handle arch-specific
"configure_require"s and we can't require _both_ as Win32::ShellQuote
won't build on *nix systems.
- Simply enclose the filenames in double quotes, should work on both
*nix and Windows in all reasonable scenarios.
- Drop incorrectly specified 'Digital signature support' "feature": simply
"recommends" the required modules.
1.021 2014-09-14
- Fix #98791: PAR-Packer fails to build with DWIMPerl/Strawberry Perl due to unquoted path name
- quote the list of embedded file wrt OS native shell
- require Win32::ShellQuote on Windows and String::ShellQuote otherwise
1.020 2014-08-24
- Implement option --xargs for pp:
- splits value of --xargs using Text::ParseWords::shellquote
- passes result as @ARGV when running script for -x
- bump required version of Module::ScanDeps to the first to implement this
- Update to Module::Install 1.10
1.019 2014-07-07
- Fix RT #96288: PAR::Packer unable to build under Win32/ActivePerl v5.14.2
RT #96739: "bsd_glob" is not defined on perl 5.14.x and earlier
RT #97018 (Issue while upgrading PAR::Packer )
Don't "use File::Glob ':bsd_glob'":
- this remaps CORE::glob() to File::Glob::bsd_glob() globally, but some
versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker rely on CORE::glob() legacy behaviour
- the tag :bsd_glob isn't exported in Perl <= 14.2
- explicitly call File::Glob::bsd_glob() instead of glob()
- Fix RT #59224 (make error with version 1.006 on aix 5.3)
The string contents of myldr/my_par_pl.c (generated from
script/par.pl by myldr/par_pl2c.pl) is passed in argv[]
during the build. This is too large for the default limit (24k)
that AIX 5.3 has for passing argv+env in execve().
Shrink it a bit by removing leading whitespace and comment-only lines
(in addition to using PAR::Filter::PodStrip).
- Update documentation wrt the name of the cache directory.
1.018 2014-05-18
- [DJIBEL] tkpp 1.4 : Since PAR::Packer 1.015, tkpp doesn't work.
I Removed --icon and --info options. Now tkpp work.
- Bug fixes:
Use bsd_glob() instead of glob() to avoid problems with patterns that
contain whitespace, e.g. "C:\\Program Files\..." on Windows.
Found by Victor Wheeler <[email protected]>.
Fix RT #93008: install failure with ubuntu / puppet
(and several similar ones): When building on a Debian derived Linux distro
(and building with the system perl) check that distro package "libperl-dev"
is installed.
1.017 2013-12-01
- Fix RT #84588: OSX: incorrect detection of gcc (unsupported option '-static-libgcc'),
RT #90198: PAR::Packer fails to compile in Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks,
RT #91086: PAR-Packer-1.016 fails to install on OSX)
- clang on OSX pretends to be gcc, but doesn't implement gcc's option "-static-libgcc"
- use this option only on Windows (when using the MingW toolchain).
- Drop a test that was using Inline::C just to wrap native execvp().
- It caused failures on CPAN Testers (if accidentally Inline was
installed) that were unrelated to PAR::Packer.
1.016 2013-11-30
- Fix RT #90870: Segmentation fault (core dumped) (MooX::Options)
- any "die" in a packed executable causes the executable to segfault
(at least on Linux and Perl 5.18.1)
- remove a line from XS code that sets an internal perl variable
1.015 2013-10-09
- featurectomy: remove --icon and --info options from pp and PAR::Packer
- they don't work on some versions of Windows (result in corrupted executables)
- these options are just passed on to Win32::Exe, so you may simply
post-process the executable, e.g. using exe_update.pl from Win32::Exe
- Fix RT #82916: Terminating during unpack results in corrupted cache, failure on next start
- apply (slightly modified) patch from [email protected], thanks!
- Fix RT #88297 (-M crashes pp if option contains backslashes)
- _add_file(): do _not_ use $zip->memberNamed(...) to refer to the just added
Archive::Zip::Member; instead use the return value of $zip->addFile or
$zip->addString
- don't modify embedded files after initial extraction
- fixes bug (on Windows) reported by Ken Tuchman <[email protected]>
- minor changes
- use File::Spec::Functions, get rid of ugly File::Spec->... calls
- set $pre_res using catfile() instead of hardcoding a backslash;
this might help on Cygwin
- fix -Mblib option for run_with_inc.pl: we want the blib in the top level directory
1.014 2012-12-21
- tkpp 1.3 : --addfile option in GUI updated :
- now it is possible to set a new filename or dirname in package
using (old;new).
- Bug fixes, etc.
- RT #75636: PAR::Packer Windows installation error (and suggested fix)
- apply PAR-Packer-1.013_V2.diff from above bug report
- Some versions of GCC link myldr/boot.exe with libgcc*.dll;
this renders any packed executable non-portable to machines
that don't have (this version of) libgcc*.dll installed
(problem reported by [email protected]);
to fix add '-static-libgcc' to the command for linking
boot.exe (when using the GCC toolchain)
- This also uncovered the following problem:
on some platforms (e.g. ActiveState + MingW) ldopts()
may contain a spurious trailing newline;
chomp ldopts() and ccopts() for sanity
- Recent versions od Strawberry perl (5.16.x) link their perl*.dll
against the MingW libstdc++*.dll - hence pack it, too
(same as libgcc_*.dll). Rewrite how we generate the C file(s)
containing the custom perl interpreter, libperl DLL, libgcc DLL etc
as large byte arrays and how we extract this stuff on bootstrap.
- Bump requirement for Module::ScanDeps to a version that can grok
Unicode::UCD from Perl 5.17 to avoid test failures
- PAR 1.007 caused several tests to fail (t/20-pp.t, tests 8-9, 12).
IMHO these are bogus (depend on unspecified behaviour) and previously
succeeded only by accident; removed the offending sub tests
- RT #75750: PAR::Filter::Bleach is broken
- NOTE: original code works as intended due to the funny way
pack 'b' is implemented, but apply patch just for sanity
- RT #78396: [manifypods] Error 255
- s/MAN3PODS/MAN1PODS/ as suggested
- Update to Module::Install 1.06
1.013 2012-02-22
- New version of Tkpp (Version 1.2) (cf. RT #69517)
- incorporate new script/tkpp from Djibril Ousmanou (DJIBEL), many thanks!
- add "recommends" to Makefile.PL for Tk and additional Tk modules needed
- Bug fixes, etc.
- RT #74302: Win32 executable additional information (--info) not updated
- finally apply patches from Mark Dootson (MDOOTSON) - thanks, Mark:
rework resource handling for Win32 executables
- BIG FAT WARNING:
--info still doesn't work, so I disabled this option for now;
at least on some platforms, "pp --info ..." results in a corrupted
executable that Windows refuses to execute
- fix a problem with "pp --gui": the copy of par.exe extracted
to the cache area (but with the same name as the packed executable)
still used a console window though packed with "pp --gui ..."
(bug reported in private communication)
- RT #73491: cache directory naming problem
Now the top level cache directory (typically $TEMPIR/par-$USER)
will have $USER "encoded" as hex bytes. This avoids problems
between the charset used for $USER and the charset allowed by
the OS for filenames.
- RT #75193 [PATCH] Fix build on Win32/VC++
- bump dependency on PAR to 1.005
- require latest version of Win32::Exe
- run run_with_inc.pl using a nonce PAR_TMPDIR, too
1.012 2011-12-02
- Bug fixes, etc.
- run all tests using a nonce PAR_TMPDIR (otherwise CPAN Testers
goes crazy as top level /tmp/par-USER directories (or similar)
from previous tests may now be considered "unsafe")
- bump dependency on PAR to 1.005 which has the same behaviour
1.011 2011-12-01
- Bug fixes, etc.
- RT #69560/CVE-2011-4114: PAR packed files are extracted to unsafe
and predictable temporary directories
- create parent of cache directory (i.e. /tmp/par-USER) with mode 0700
- if it already exists, make sure that (and bail out if not)
- it's not a symlink
- it's mode 0700
- it's owned by USER
- depend on PAR 1.004 (which contains the other half of the
fix for CVE-2011-4114)
- bump Perl version requirement to 5.8.1 (Schwern: The End Of 5.6 Is Nigh!)
- explicitly mark Perl 5.10.0 as an unsupported version
1.010 2011-07-13
- Bug fixes, etc.
- Adapt for changes in XSloader.pm (>= 0.14)
The old rule in PatchContent.pm no longer works with this version;
this effectively disables how PAR::Packer intercepts loading of DLLs.
Add a new rule for the code in recent XSloader.pm.
NOTE: This problem affected all users of Perl >= 5.14.0 as this
was the first stable release to include XSLoader 0.14.
Also affected: Strawberry (at least) 5.12.3 which also comes
with XSLoader 0.14.
- RT #67311: missing dll
- Windows: search more places for the dreaded libgcc*.dll
- when linking boot.exe use $(CC) not $(LD)
- RT #67681: can'r wrtie file
During packing several temp files are created in the user's
working directory - this will fail if the working directory is read-only.
Fix up all calls to File::Temp::tempfile with TMPDIR => 1
and drop the bogus check whether cwd is writable.
-RT #68916: Solaris with Sun Workshop: heavy cosmetic issue
Fix use of plain "char" array in files generated by myldr/file2c.pl.
- RT #57273: Error building on Strawberry 5.12.0.1 64-bit (win32.coff file format not recognized)
RT #69357: bug-PAR-Packer
Hopefully fix the lonstanding "no 64-bit version of win32.coff" problem
on 64-bit Windows using the MingW tool chain
We simply don't link myldr/boot.exe with win32.coff in this environment.
NOTE: test 32 of t/20-pp.t may fail. I have received conflicting reports
about this, but just to want to make a release to get wider coverage.
1.009 2011-03-26
- Bug fixes, etc.
- RT #53463: PAR::Packer 1.002 on HPUX 11.23 PA-RISC issue
(HPUX) patch from Lars-Gunnar Taube
- add SHLIB_PATH to ld_path_keys in myldr/mktmpdir.c
- call "chatr +s enable ..." on the extracted custom perl
- RT #65535: Unable to run perl script packaged with pp under cygwin
on another Windows XP installation
- lib/PAR/Filter/PatchContent.pm: patch AutoLoader.pm to add "cygwin"
to the list of "is_dosish" $^O identifiers; otherwise
AutoLoader::find_filename() will mangle filenames that start with
a drive letter
- script/par.pl: use PAR::Filter::PatchContent to patch any modules
embedded in the packed excutable; this supersedes the ad hoc
patching of XSLoader.pm and will now also patch AutoLoader.pm
- myldr/Makefile.PL: when generating $parl_exe or $parldy_exe make
sure that we use the PAR::* modules (e.g PAR::Filter::PatchContent)
from the build environment rather than a possibly
installed older version
- "Fix" #64485: pp PodStrip module included
document how to inhibit pod stripping (copied from PAR.pm POD)
- bump required Module::ScanDeps to 1.01 (hopefully fixes failures
in t/90-rt59710.t with Perl 5.13.x)
- reworked the build system a bit to fix recurring problems with dmake
on Windows and parallel makes in general:
- copy myldr/{parl,parldyn} to blib/scripts from myldr/Makefile
- myldr/Makefile was completely handcrafted; try to generate it
using standard ExtUtils::MakeMaker tools as much as possible
- generate myldr/{Dynamic,Static}.pm from templates {Dynamic,Static}.in
- rename static.c to boot.c
- add "configure_requires" for ExtUtils::Embed
- pick up some POD spelling fixes from Debian

1.008 2010-11-21
- Bug fixes, etc.
- RT #61528: bug similar to RT 55994
(Windows) relax heuristic to check whether the configured C compiler
is actually gcc (Ed Zagar)
- RT #61874: Windows: Packed executable handles wildcards different from script
myldr/static.c: turn off automatic globbing of process arguments when
building with MingW (Roderich)
- RT #62357: .cgi extension not taken as script
call into Module::ScanDeps with $Module::ScanDeps::ScanFileRE
set to qr/./ so that we don't discriminate against scripts that have
an extension other than .pl, .pm, .al or .t (or no extension at all)
(Roderich)
- RT #63083: pp: Undefined subroutine &DynaLoader::bootstrap called in pp-compiled bianry
fix the name where the shared perl DSO ($libperl in myldr/Makefile.PL)
is extracted to so that it matches the reference the linker wrote into
$par_exe; heuristic currently only available for Linux (assuming
we have GNU binutils installed), but might work on other ELF-based
systems, too (Roderich)
- t/30-current_exec.t: fix a test failure on Cygwin
(cygwin.dll was not on PATH) (Roderich)
1.007 2010-09-09
- Bug fixes, etc.
- RT #56582: PAR-packer compilation on Windows XP32 box
applied patch from Jean-Michel Male to fix building with
Microsoft Visual Studio (Roderich)
- RT #50747: (no subject)
finally use permissions 0775 in my_mkfile() (Roderich)
- require modern Module::Install (chorny)
and update Module::Install et al. to version 1.00 (Roderich)
- RT #59710: Par-Packer not including all dependencies
When cleaning @INC at the end of bootstrapping (just before
we run the actual packed script) canonicalize $ENV{PAR_TEMP}
before we use it to match elements of @INC.
This works around non-canonicalized values (e.g. a trailing slash)
for $ENV{TMPDIR} or P_tmpdir (as #define'd in <stdio.h>)
(the latter seen on FreeBSD and OSX) (Roderich)
- RT #56020: PAR::Packer and PDF::API2 Unicode::UCD: failed to find UnicodeData.txt
that's actually a bug in Module::ScanDeps);
bump requirement on Module::ScanDeps to a versionthat has the fix
(correct %Preload rule for Unicode::UCD)
1.006 2010-06-26
- Bug fixes, etc.
- RT #58266: fix "install PAR::Packer failed for strawberry perl 5.12.0.1
(parldyn.exe not found)"
Apparently exec() on Windows spawns the new process, but then exits
immediately without wait()ing for the new process (observed at least
on ActiveState Perl 5.10.1 and Straberry Perl 5.12.0.1). That causes
myldr/run_with_inc.pl to return control to myldr/Makefile prematurely,
causing (depending on timing) the build to fail. Work around this by
using system() instead.
- While we're at it, clean up some dubious dependencies in
myldr/Makefile.PL.
- Drop test_requires IPC::Run3 introduced in 1.005, simply skip all tests
in t/30-current_exec.t when run in a path that contains spaces.
1.005 2010-06-05
- Bug fixes, etc.
- RT #57494: add attributes.pm to list of always required modules
(Roderich)
- RT #55994: fix "Can't call method "remove" on an undefined value
at .../Win32/Exe.pm" (patch from DJIBEL)
- RT #57948: pp-generated executable and a missing dependency
on libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll (Roderich)
- RT #58095: test fails on OS X (when building in a directory
with blanks in its pathname); NOTE: adds a test_requires
on IPC::Run3 (Roderich)
- spring cleaning in myldr directory (Roderich)
1.004 2010-04-20
- Bug fixes, etc.
- RT #52794, #56654: script/par.pl: remove munging of @inc on Windows;
it causes problems with Strawberry Perl
1.003 2010-04-10
- Bug fixes, etc.
- RT #56171: add PerlIO and PerlIO::scalar to the list of always
required modules (Roderich)
- Fix t/30-current_exec.t failing when cwd contains regexp
metacharacters (Niko Tyni)
- Link to repository in meta information (chorny)
1.002 2009-12-17
- Bug fixes, etc.
- RT #52407: fix calls of sprintf in myldr/mktmpdir.c that rely on
unspecified behaviour (output buffer is also among the input
parameters). (Roderich)
1.001 2009-11-24
- Bug fixes, etc.
- Fix to the rejection of "main.pl" as input scripts. Previously,
we rejected /main\.pl$/, now we only reject files named "main.pl"
as we should (Markus Jansen)
1.000 2009-11-22
- No functional changes since the latest development release.
- But let's (finally) encourage the notion that this is
production grade software by using a version >= 1!
0.992_06 2009-11-20
- Bug fixes, etc.
0.992_05 2009-11-13
- Bug fixes, etc.
- Apply patches from RT #49900: [PATCH] build problems
(Marcela Maslanova)
- When computing the SHA1 in par_mktmpdir (myldr/mktmpdir.c)
rewind file descriptor f first. Otherwise we checksum just
the last 12 bytes of file progname. (Roderich)
- RT #18472: "parl foo.par script.pl ..." uses a cache area that
doesn't depend on foo.par
Indeed, the (name of) the cache area used for "parl foo.par ..."
is derived from the SHA1 checksum of parl.exe, and _not_ foo.par.
This patch changes that for the common use case above. It is not
