<h2><a name="build_615_thursday__june_29__2000">Build 615 Thursday, June 29, 2000</a></h2>

</li>
<li>
<p>On Unix platforms, ActivePerl is now built with the <code>-Duseithreads</code>
Configure option, just as on Windows.  While this provides a functionally
identical perl, it also makes this build binary incompatible with earlier
builds on Unix platforms.  If you had installed any extensions (i.e. modules
with XS code) using earlier builds via PPM or otherwise, you will need
to reinstall them under this build.  Future builds will maintain binary
compatibility with this one.</p>
<p>On Windows, this build continues to be binary compatible with build 613.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The installation location for the native installations on Unix (Red Hat
RPM, Debian dpkg, or Solaris pkgadd) have changed.  These packages will
now be installed under /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.6/ rather than under
/usr/local/perl-5.6.  This one-time change avoids confusion with locally
installed versions built from the sources, and also avoids installing
on top of existing binary-incompatible build 613 installations.</p>
<p>The installation location can be chosen as usual on Windows, and when
installing using the generic installers on Unix.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>On Windows, <a href="../../lib/Pod/perlfunc.html#item_chdir"><code>chdir()</code></a> could sometimes fail to return failure when given a
non-existent directory, and UNC paths didn't work correctly.  These
problems have been corrected.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The <code>libwin32</code> v0.16 release from CPAN is included for the Windows
builds.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Various small PPM bugs have been fixed.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A bug in PerlScript that prevented it from working under IIS5 on
Windows 2000 has been fixed.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Bug Fixes and Changes</em></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>This build corresponds to the Perl 5.6.0 release candidate 2 sources.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="../../lib/Pod/perlfunc.html#item_binmode"><code>binmode()</code></a> now supports a second optional argument that can be used
to switch a file handle to &quot;:crlf&quot; or &quot;:raw&quot; mode.  (These correspond
to the traditional text and binary modes.)  See <a href="../../lib/Pod/perlfunc.html#binmode">binmode in the perlfunc manpage</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The new <a href="../../lib/Pod/perlfunc.html#item_open"><code>open</code></a> pragma can be used to set the default mode for
implicitly opened handles in the current lexical scope.  This is
useful to set a particular mode for the results of the qx//
operator.  See <a href="../../lib/open.html">the open manpage</a>.</p>

<p>PPM can communicate with the package repository via SOAP. Currently PPM's
and SOAP's integration is somewhat limited; however, it serves as proof of
concept.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>New modules included with the distribution are:</p>
<pre>
         - SOAP
         - File::CounterFile
         - Font::AFM</pre>

<p><em>Bug Fixes and Changes</em></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>NOTE:Build 603 is not binary compatible with earlier builds. If you have
compiled your own extensions with earlier builds, you will need to recompile
all of them.</p>

since 5.005_62 in the public Perl repository have been incorporated.</p>

<p>
</p>
<h2><a name="build_601_tuesday__july_13__1999">Build 601 Tuesday, July 13, 1999</a></h2>
<p><em>Bug Fixes and Changes</em></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Build 601 corresponds to Perl 5.005_57. Additional patches available
since 5.005_57 in the public Perl repository have been incorporated.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>This build features a major reworking of the API exposed by the
PERL_OBJECT build option. The result is a well-defined Perl API (restricted to
C syntax) that provides very high degree of compatibility for extensions
available from CPAN.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Perl for ISAPI, PerlScript, PerlEz and PerlMsg have been modified to use
the new PERL_OBJECT API.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Visual Package Manager (VPM) is now available. VPM can be used to install
pre-built binaries from a package repository. One such is available at
<a href="http://www.activestate.com/packages/perl5_6/.">http://www.activestate.com/packages/perl5_6/.</a></p>
</li>
</ul>

</p>
<h2><a name="what_s_new_in_the_600_series">What's new in the 600 Series</a></h2>
<p><em>Major Changes</em></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>This series is built around development versions of Perl 5.006. Build 600
corresponds to Perl 5.005_57.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Significant changes that have occurred in the
5.006 development track are documented in perldelta.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Build 600 includes additional changes for supporting globalization.  All
Win32 API calls made by Perl now follow the utf8 mode of the interpreter.
Wide versions of the API calls are made when utf8 is in effect.  See utf8
for more information on enabling support for Unicode.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The 600 series is not binary compatible with builds in the 500 series. Any
extensions built using binaries from the ActivePerl 500 series will need
to be recompiled.  Note especially that this applies to PPDs that may have
been built for 500 series builds.</p>
</li>
</ul>
