Hi Audrey, hi par@perl.org, PAR 0.957 is on its way to CPAN. It is a bug fix release without new features. In particular, this release fixes a bug which broke the symlink-behaviour of pp-ed executables. ChangeLog attached. Furthermore, I have to announce that I will have to reduce the amount of time I can put into patching up PAR because of my workload. I'm not disappearing completely, but my response time and my responses' helpfulness are likely to degrade. The lurkers on this mailing list have been very responsive to both my inquiries as well as user questions. The RT bug queue has been solely my domain for quite some while now, unfortunately. I have put a lot of work into cleaning it up. If we'd ignore all new tickets for a couple of months, it would surely become completely cluttered again. Addressing new tickets is much easier than cleaning up stale tickets because the submitters are naturally more responsive if they still care. Would it be acceptable if I forwarded most new RT tickets to the list for now? That way, we could work on them together. I would hate if PAR fell into bitrot. Steffen [Changes for 0.957 - Oct 24, 2006] * Bug fixes, etc. - Fix executable PARs top properly detect embedded scripts named the same as the executable. (Jesse Vincent) - Comment out the call to par_current_exec_proc (in the C loader) which breaks the use of symlinks to pp-ed executables when not called with a path. (I.e. using a search in $PATH).
