ActivePerl 5.18 Change Log
    For the latest information on ActivePerl, please see:

        http://www.ActiveState.com/ActivePerl/

  Build 1803 October, 2014
    Build 1803 is based on Perl 5.18.4 plus additional selected changes.

    *Bug Fixes and Changes since build 1802*

    *  Upgrade to openssl-1.0.1j which addresses memory leaks
       (CVE-2014-3513, CVE-2014-3567) and SSL 3.0 Fallback protection
       (CVE-2014-3566) and the ability to disable the insecure SSLv3
       protocol handshake (CVE-2014-3568). We now build openssl with SSLv2
       and SSLv3 disabled.

    *  Significant changes that have occurred in the Perl 5.18.3 release
       are documented in perl5183delta. (Perl 5.18.3 has been released
       with incorrect metadata; 5.18.4 is just a re-release with fixed
       release data; there are no functional changes between them).

    *  ActivePerl::Config has been improved to keep the original compiler
       settings for building additional modules on Windows. The "MinGW"
       and "dmake" packages on PPM can be used for both 32-bit and 64-bit
       builds.

    *  Most bundled modules have been updated to their latest released
       version from CPAN. Use the "ppm query" command to check the exact
       version included in this release.

  Build 1802 April, 2014
    Build 1802 is based on Perl 5.18.2 plus additional selected changes.

    This is a security update which upgrades openssl to address TLS
    heartbeat vulnerability (CVE-2014-0160) and an Cache Side-channel
    Attack (CVE-2014-0076).

  Build 1801 January, 2014
    Build 1801 is based on Perl 5.18.2 plus additional selected changes.

    *Bug Fixes and Changes since build 1800*

    *  Significant changes that have occurred in the Perl 5.18.2 release
       are documented in perl5182delta.

    *  Most bundled modules have been updated to their latest released
       version from CPAN. Use the "ppm query" command to check the exact
       version included in this release.

  Build 1800 Sep 2, 2013
    *What's new in the 1800 Series*

    *  This build corresponds to the Perl 5.18.1 source code release.

    *  The 1800 series builds of ActivePerl are not binary compatible with
       builds in the 1600 or earlier series. Any extensions built using
       binaries from the ActivePerl 1600 or earlier series will need to be
       recompiled. Note especially that this applies to PPM packages that
       may have been built for earlier series of ActivePerl.

    *  The 1800 series builds of ActivePerl use 64 bit integers on
       platforms that are otherwise 32 bit. The main benefit is that
       Perl's scalars now can represent larger integers precisely, without
       turning to float approximations. The $Config{archname} of these
       builds has grown to include the "-64int-" segment.

    *  All Windows builds are now built with the MinGW compiler.

    *  PPM is faster in the common situation where a single repository is
       configured. The repository state can now be transfered as
       compressed SQLite database image prepared on the server.

       The 'ppm upgrade' command now allow the install area to be
       overridden and will install the specified package even when it's
       not already present.

       Running 'sudo ppm ...' now ensures that user files created does not
       end up owned by root.

    *  Significant changes that have occurred since the 5.16 release are
       documented in perl5180delta. Bugfixes that went in the 5.18.1
       release are documented in perl5181delta.

    *  Most bundled distributions have been updated to their latest
       released version from CPAN. Use the "ppm list" command to check the
       exact version included in this release.
