Hello community, here is the log from the commit of package perl-Module-Build checked in at Thu Oct 26 20:27:35 CEST 2006. -------- --- perl-Module-Build/perl-Module-Build.changes 2006-01-25 21:39:50.000000000 +0100 +++ /mounts/work_src_done/STABLE/perl-Module-Build/perl-Module-Build.changes 2006-10-25 15:28:28.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,0 +2,681 @@ +Wed Oct 25 15:23:51 CEST 2006 - cwh@suse.de + +0.2805_01 Thu Sep 7 21:57:29 CDT 2006 + + - Because of a weird behavior of YAML::Node, any distribution that + used version.pm objects to define their versions was generating the + wrong syntax for the versions in their META.yml file. They will + now appear as strings like v3.42.1 or similar, including the + leading v. + + - Upgraded to version 0.67 of version.pm. [John Peacock] + + - Added a contrib/ directory with a bash completion function for M::B + actions and switches. [Julian Mehnle] + + - When we eval() the embedded version.pm code we will now die() if + the eval() was unsuccessful, rather than continuing blindly on and + dying mysteriously later. + + - Added a 'retest' action that lets users run the current regression + tests on a previously-installed version of a distribution. + + * Instead of storing an entire dump of the Config.pm hash in the + _build/ directory upon startup, we now just store any overrides the + user or author has specified. Note that if you were doing anything + you weren't supposed to be doing, like poking around in the + internals of $buld->{config}, your code might break, so I've put + the asterisk of incompatibility on this one just to cover my + tuchus. [Idea originally by Randy Sims] + + - Made copying files via copy_if_modified() a little less chatty. + +0.2805 Sat Jul 29 22:01:24 CDT 2006 + + - We now embed a copy of version.pm right in the + Module::Build::Version source code, with John Peacock's blessing, + in case the user has a rough time installing version.pm. This + helps alleviate troubles people were still having with working out + a seemingly circular dependency (even though version.pm now ships + with a standard Makefile.PL too). A version.pm >= 0.661 installed + on the system will take precedence over our bundled one. [John + Peacock] + + - Fix some test warnings (or failures?) related to version.pm + numification. [John Peacock] + + - The top-level 'version' entry in META.yml files we'd generated was + in the wrong format (it was being treated as a version.pm object + rather than a serialized copy) due to a weird YAML::Node issue. + Fixed. + + - Don't 'use base qw(version)' anymore in our M::B::Version wrapper, + just set @ISA directly, because some people have reported that the + 'use base' line is croaking. + + - Added an 'allow_mb_mismatch' parameter to suppress the startup + check that ensures the version of M::B currently running is the + same as the one initially used to run the Build.PL. Use with + caution. + + - Module::Build::ModuleInfo will no longer detect things that look + like $VERSION assignments after an __END__ or __DATA__ token. + + - Updated documentation to mention the new mailing list on perl.org + rather than the old one on sourceforge. + +0.2804 Sun Jul 16 16:41:25 CDT 2006 + + - Added 'use version;' in Module::Build::Version, because some + versions of base.pm won't automatically load version.pm when we do + 'use base qw/version/;'. [Spotted by Erik Tank] + +0.2803 Sat Jul 15 08:26:34 CDT 2006 + + - The META.yml file in the last release was all screwed up, so the + distribution wasn't indexed properly. Fixed in this release. + +0.2802 Fri Jul 14 22:40:34 CDT 2006 + + - Added reliance on version.pm, which means we should deal much + better with the wide range of version specifications one finds on + CPAN. This is made possible by recent releases of version.pm that + give the user a pure-perl option, so installing version.pm + shouldn't be too onerous for most users. [John Peacock] + + - We should be accepting the default when we're in unattended mode, + not acting dumb and ignoring both the default and the [empty] + answer from the user. Fixed. [Spotted by Nik Clayton] + +0.2801 Sun May 21 00:07:40 CDT 2006 + + - Module::Build::Compat's emulation of INC is incorrectly prepending + a -I to the value of INC. This is incorrect because there should + already be a -I on the value. I.E. it's "perl Makefile.PL INC=-Ifoo" + not "perl Makefile.PL INC=foo" so Compat should not prefix a -I. + [Michael Schwern] + + - Native batch scripts under Windows should not be converted by + pl2bat. [Spotted by Ron Savage] + + - Tweaked the way we determine whether a file is executable on Unix. + We use this determination to decide whether to make it executable + during installation. [Julian Mehnle] + + - Replaced a vestigial 'next' with 'return' now that the code is in a + subroutine (htmlify_pods()), not a loop. [Ron Savage] + + - Fixed a guaranteed failure in t/signature.t when TEST_SIGNATURE was + set. [Eric R. Meyers] + + - Fixed a test failure that occurred when testing or installing in + unattended mode - the code to test whether unattended mode and + attended mode are working properly was assuming that we started out + in attended mode. [Steve Peters] + + - Improved our stand-in YAML generator that we use to generate + META.yaml when authors don't have a copy of YAML.pm installed on + their machine. It was unable to handle things like embedded + newlines in the data, now it has a much more extensive escaping + mechanism. [Stephen Adkins] + + - Revised the docs for --prefix and PREFIX. [Michael Schwern] + +0.28 Thu Apr 27 22:25:00 CDT 2006 + + - When y_n() or prompt() are called without a default value and the + build seems to be unattended (e.g. in automatic CPAN testing), we + now die() with an error message rather than silently returning + undef for prompt(), or looping indefinitely for y_n(). + + - When searching for '.modulebuildrc', return the first HOME-like + directory that actually contains the file instead of the first + existing directory. Document the search locations and the order + searched. [Spotted by David Golden] + + - Split the API documentation out of Module::Build::Authoring into + its own document: Module::Build::API. + + - We should not emit a warning if a Module::Build subclass is + required in a Makefile.PL that is not bundled in the current + distribution; it may be installed on the user's system. [Spotted by + Tyler MacDonald] + + - copy_if_modified() now preserves the executable bit of the source + file. [Spotted by Julian Mehnle] + + - Fixed compatibility of our screen-scraping the Test::Harness output + so we can recognize the most recent Test::Harness version. [Steve + Hay] + + - Backing out a requirement added in 0.27_06 on the method y_n() + to always include a default. This behavior would cause existing + build scripts to start failing. We now fail with a missing default + only when $ENV{PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT} is set because there is no + reasonable default. + + - Make install_types() method smarter with respect to custom install + types. + + - Add documentation for the install_base_relpaths() and + prefix_relpaths() methods. Improved their usage for a public API, + and added tests. + +0.27_10 Tue Mar 28 22:50:50 CST 2006 + + - Added the create_packlist property, default true, which controls + whether packlist files will be written during installation. This + was already part of Module::Build 0.2609, but for some reason we've + forgotten it in the 0.27_xx series. [Spotted by Steve Kirkup] + + - Document the versions of Module::Build where each feature, action, + constructor argument, and method was first publicly documented. + + - More fixes for find_perl_interpreter() to work with BSD flavored + UNIX: Ensure we always return absolute paths; throw an exception + upon failure to find correct interperter; document everything. + + - We now include our own YAML.pm work-alike that we can use when the + real YAML isn't installed. We might soon even start using it when + YAML is installed, because the YAML API and dependency chain have + been changing in unfavorable ways lately. [Stephen Adkins] + + - Fixed some shell-argument-quoting issues on VMS. In the process, + we have added some support for avoiding tripping over + shell-argument-quoting issues on other platforms too. [Initial + patch by Craig A. Berry] + +0.27_09 Sat Mar 11 22:48:54 EST 2006 + + - Fixed find_perl_interpreter() so we can find the perl executable + when running from uninstalled perl even when $^X contains a + relative path. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] + + - Fixed warning message where we were printing the wrong field names. + [Chris Dolan] + + - Added a 'testpodcoverage' action that runs a POD coverage check for + all modules in the distribution. [Yanick Champoux] + + - Added a Cookbook example of subclassing to modify an action. [Dylan + Martin and David Golden] + + - When building HTML documentation, we were opening the POD file and + not checking whether the open succeeded, which of course caused + problems down the line if it failed. Now we do "or die(...)" like + everywhere else. [Spotted by Joerg Braun] + +0.27_08 Fri Mar 3 21:22:41 CST 2006 + + - Due to shell quoting issues and differences in syntax between + various flavors of Windows, the code for the 'pl2bat' utility + distributed with Perl has been incorporated into M::B::P::Windows. + [Thanks to Dr Bean and Ron Savage for help testing and isolating + the problem.] + + - Modify add_build_element() so that it only adds elements if they + don't already exist. [David Wheeler] + + - Fixed a bug in the 'pass-through' Makefile.PL in which we would die + if CPAN::Shell->install returned false, but apparently this return + value is unreliable. Now we only die if the module is actually + unavailable after installation. + + - Fixed testing problems on VMS related to non-case-preserving + filesystems. We now bundle Tie::CPHash in the distribution (just + for testing purposes, it doesn't get installed) to help with + this. [Craig Berry and Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] + + - We incorrectly documented the 'dynamic_config' flag in the META.yml + file as having a default value of false, but according to the + META.yml spec (which, for heaven's sake, we wrote) its default + value is true. Fixed. [Spotted by Adam Kennedy] + + - The have_c_compiler() method was dying if the ExtUtils::CBuilder + module wasn't around, which is obviously an unhelpful thing to do. + Now it just returns false. [Spotted by John Peacock] + + - Fix detection of $VERSION expressions that are not + assignments. [Spotted by Chris Dolan] + + - Obfuscate one of our constructs that uses a $VERSION variable, + because it was getting picked up by ExtUtils::MakeMaker's + version-finder. [Spotted by Randal Schwartz] + + - The config_data script for querying and/or setting a module's + config data was forgetting to call write() after setting config + values (though setting feature values was working fine). + Fixed. [Brian Duggan] + + - On Windows, remove the pl2bat generated 'Build.bat' script without + the annoying "The batch file cannot be found." error. [Solution + provided by RazTK and foxidrive on newsgroup alt.msdos.batch] + + - Our version comparisons should now work correctly with modules that + use version.pm to delcare their versions (e.g. "our $VERSION = + version->new('1.0.0')"). [John Peacock and Ron Savage] + + - We now create a Build.bat script on versions of Windows where it + makes sense. [Yves] + + - Fixed the verbiage around choosing the correct make-alike on + different platforms to suggest using 'perl -V:make'. [Suggested by + anonymous user] + +0.27_07 Wed Feb 1 20:07:45 CST 2006 + + - The notes() method now returns the new value when called with two + arguments, just like when it's called with one argument. [Tyler + MacDonald] + + - The notes() method now distinguishes among the values undef, 0, and + the empty string, where previously it didn't. [Tyler MacDonald] + + - We now unshift(@INC) rather than push(@INC) for the directory where + a build subclass lives, so that we're sure to pick up the right + version and not some already-installed version. [perlmonkey] + + - The SIGNATURE file for version 0.27_06 (and I'm sure for lots of + versions before that too!) was messed up, since we were modifying + some files after signing. This has been band-aided for the time + being by signing twice. [Reported by Chris Dolan] + +0.27_06 Mon Jan 23 21:44:54 CST 2006 + + - Fixed an undefined-variable warning when building the META.yml file + and the author hasn't used the 'module_name' mechanism. [Chris Dolan] + + - We should now work with recent (> 0.49) versions of YAML.pm when + creating the META.yml file. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] + + - The y_n() method now requires the default parameter, and the + prompt() and y_n() methods have been improved with respect to + how they behave/detect when there is no user to ask. We're now + more consistent with MakeMaker, including respecting the + PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT environment variable. [Tyler MacDonald and + Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] + + - When building a README file using Pod::Text, work around a bug in + Pod::Text 3.01, which expects Pod::Simple::parse_file to take input + and output filehandles when it actually only takes an input + filehandle. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] + +0.27_05 Thu Jan 12 17:39:21 CST 2006 + + - In t/common.pl, we were attempting to let the user's installed + Test::More take precedence over ours, but getting thwarted by all + the test scripts' loading Test::More beforehand. Fixed. [Spotted + by Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] + + - In various test scripts, we were outputting some strings that + weren't strictly conformant with Test::Harness's expected input, + though it didn't actually cause problems. Now we're more + conformant, though not yet strict. [Spotted by Yitzchak + Scott-Thoennes] + +0.27_04 Fri Dec 23 10:43:34 CST 2005 + + - Removed experimental feature that extended the prerequisite system + to apply ('requires', 'recommends', and 'conflicts') prereqs to all + actions. Most of the internal extensiblity has been retained so + that prereq types can easily be added, more selectively. + + - Added a 'prereq_report' action that shows the user a well-formatted + list of all prerequisites, the versions required, and the versions + actually installed. [David Wheeler] + + - Clarified the directory name that's created during the 'distdir' + action. [Suggested by Tyler MacDonald] + + - Fixed a bug when creating the META.yml file without the help of + YAML.pm - some common strings weren't quoted & escaped properly. + Now only some uncommon ones are. [Spotted by Joshua ben Jore] + + - Fixed a bug in which an "UNINST=1" argument specified to a + passthrough Makefile's "make install" wasn't actually seen by + Module::Build. + + - Rather than dying when the Build script is run from the wrong + directory, it now simply chdir()s into the right directory and + keeps going. [Suggested by Dominique Quatravaux] + + - Added an "Examples on CPAN" section to the cookbook, with an + initial entry pointing to John Peacock's SVN-Notify-Mirror + distribution. + + - Add an invoked_action() method to return the name of the original + action invoked by the user. + + - Add 'meta-spec' field to the generated META.yml file, including the + version of the specification followed by the current Module::Build + and the url where the specification can be found. + + - Introduced two actions, 'html' & 'manpages', that generate + documentation for POD when the respective feature is enabled. The + actions will generate the documents even if there is no set place + to install to. However, if the actions are invoked as a dependency + of another action (e.g. build), the documentation will only be + built when there is a default or user-specified place to install to. + + - Added support for environment variable, 'MODULEBUILDRC', which can + be used to specify the full path to an option file to use instead + of the default location of ~/.modulebuildrc. A special undocumented + setting of 'NONE' tells Module::Build not to load any user settings, + so tests can be run without tainting from user options. + + - Documented and improved preliminary support for more Getopt::Long + style options are supported, including boolean options (--verbose, + --no-verbose), and use of hyphens in option names in addition to + underscores. + + - The option to disable/enable reading of the ~/.modulebuildrc file + is changed from 'skip_rcfile' to 'use_rcfile' + + - Allow the 'distmeta' action to continue when 'MANIFEST' is missing, + omitting the generation of the 'provieds' field. [Steven Schubiger] + + - Fixed some failing regex from generated MANIFEST.SKIP file. + + - Fixed an edge case in $VERSION parsing where we thought a package() + declaration was happening but it wasn't. [David Golden] + + - Added docs for the install_destination() and install_types() methods. + +0.27_03 (Beta for 0.28) Mon Oct 10 11:19:23 EDT 2005 + + - We now use ExtUtils::CBuilder to do all compiling of C code (for + example, when compiling XS modules). (This change actually + occurred in 0.27_01, but it was mistakenly omitted from the Changes + file.) + + - Fixed an issue on Win32 (and other case-tolerant + non-case-preserving systems, possibly like VMS?) in which the + current working directory would sometimes be reported with + different case, fooling us into thinking that we were in the wrong + directory. [David Golden] + + - The extra_compiler_flags setting was not actually being passed + along to ExtUtils::CBuilder so it could pass it along to the + compiler. Now it is. + + - The synonyms 'scripts' and 'prereq' for 'script_files' and + 'requires' were broken in a previous version (0.27_01, probably), + but now they're fixed. [David Golden] + + - Previously, we assumed that any custom subclass of Module::Build + was located in _build/lib/. This is only true if the author used + the subclass() method, though. We now use %INC to find where the + custom subclass really is, so that we can "use lib" it. We also + issue a warning if it seems to be outside the build directory. + [Spotted by Peter Tandler] + + - Added a URL for each license type that we know about, which will + appear as resources=>license: in the generated META.yml file. + + - If the user passes a no_index parameter to our constructor, we now + pass that through when building the META.yml file. [Richard + Soderberg, RT #9603] + + - A few more status messages can now be suppressed by using 'quiet' + mode. [Dave Rolsky] + + - Added some more entries to the default MANIFEST.SKIP file. [Chris + Dolan] + + - Our POD parser will now accept "AUTHORS" as well as "AUTHOR" when + looking for the author list in a module. [David Wheeler] + + - When looking for the POD to auto-generate a README file, or for the + AUTHOR or ABSTRACT for the distribution, we now also look for a + *.pod with the same name as the *.pm file specified by + 'version_from'. [David Golden] + + - The recommended dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS has been moved into + the "C_support" auto_feature. + + - When building XS files, we now pass the -DVERSION and -DXS_VERSION + flags to the compiler. [Spotted by Jerry Hedden] + + - If a distribution has XS files and Module::Build has not been + configured with the "C_support" feature, we now issue a + warning. [Suggested by Jerry Hedden] + + - Added a dir_contains() method. + + - Some versions of MakeMaker, CPANPLUS, and/or PAUSE thought that a + certain line of our code was declaring a $VERSION when we didn't + intend to. The line has been obscurified so they won't think that + anymore. [Jos Boumans, RT #14226] + + - Added the Apache, MIT, and Mozilla licenses to the list of licenses + that this module knows about. [Bob Ippolito] + + - Fixed a pretty significant typo in the documentation for + auto_features. [Spotted by Jonas B. Nielsen] + + - In order to aid people who want to do customization of the META.yml + file, we've added a "metafile" property that can then be easily + overridden in subclasses, changed do_create_meta_yml() to + do_create_metafile(), and split out the code that actually + generates the YAML into a new method, write_metafile(). [David + Wheeler] + + - Fixed a couple of non-helpful behaviors with extra_compiler_flags + and extra_linker_flags. These will automatically be run through + split_like_shell() when given to new() as strings. + + - When the user doesn't have ExtUtils::ParseXS installed and we use + the old 'xsubpp', the displayed command line for creating the .c + file from the .xs file was missing its newline. Now it's got it. + +0.27_02 (Beta for 0.28) Fri Jul 15 07:34:58 CDT 2005 + + - Provided initial support for the --prefix installation parameter, + which acts like MakeMaker's PREFIX. It is still highly recommended + NOT to use it when you could reasonably use --install_base or + --install_path or --install_dest, but that's just because the way + --prefix is designed is weird and unpredictable. Ultimately the + choice rests with the installing user. [Patches by Michael Schwern + and Rob Kinyon] + + - Fixed a bug in subclass() which prevented people from using it to + subclass subclasses of Module::Build. [Chris Dolan] + + - Added a 'pure_install' action, which for the time being is + identical to the 'install' action. [Jos Boumans] + + - Fixed a POD error in an L<http://...> tag. [Offer Kaye] + + - Note several options for automatically creating a new module dev + tree. [Suggested by Eric Wilhelm] + + - Removed some hard-coded references to File::Spec::Unix in the + creation of HTML docs, which should help that code work in more + places, and help people not to panic when they look at it. [Spotted + by Yves] + + - We now use Pod::Readme by default (instead of Pod::Text) to + generate the README file when the 'create_readme' option is used. + If Pod::Readme is not installed, we will still fall back to using + Pod::Text. [Robert Rothenberg] + + - The values of the "prefix", "install_base", "install_path", and + "install_dest" parameters can now begin with "~" or "~user", and + we'll de-tilde-ify them by using glob(). + + - The (optional) auto-creation of the README and Makefile.PL files + have been moved from the 'distdir' action to the 'distmeta' + action. [David Golden] + + - When looking for a .modulebuildrc file, we now use a fancier method + of trying to find the home directory, because $ENV{HOME} isn't a + very cross-platform variable. [Robert Rothenberg] + + - We now memoize the output of the internal _default_INC() method, + since it uses backticks and might be kind of slow. + + - When processing XS files, we now look for a typemap in lib/ as well + as using the system's default typemap. [John Peacock] + + - The DESTDIR, PREFIX, and INSTALL_BASE arguments to "make install" + are now supported for pass-through Makefiles (they've been + supported for quite a while as arguments to "perl + Makefile.PL"). [Requested by Guillaume Rousse] + + - Test::Harness has changed its output format in recent versions, + which threw off one of our tests. We now allow for this different + format. [Reported by Scott Godin] + + - Fixed an issue that prevented Module::Build from upgrading itself + using its own API (which is how CPANPLUS uses it). There are still + some issues with this solution, however. See ticket #13169 in + rt.cpan.org. [Reported by Jos Boumans] + + - Fixed a fatal error that occurred when a distribution's author + could not be determined from its POD nor from the call to + Module::Build->new() in its Build.PL. See ticket #12318 in + rt.cpan.org. [Reported by Jos Boumans] + + - Apparently on Windows and cygwin it's not possible to use the "-pi" + switch to perl without a backup extension, so now we use ".bak" and + remove the backup file when we're done. Thus the "dist" action for + Module::Build itself can now be run on those platforms. [Yitzchak + Scott-Thoennes] + + - Improved the handling of auto_features in the config_data access + script. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] + +0.27_01 (Beta for 0.28) Fri Apr 15 21:12:57 CDT 2005 + + Backward-incompatible (but better) changes: + + * When using the 'install_base' option to choose a directory for + installing everything, perl modules now go into lib/perl5/ instead + of just lib/. It seems this is more consistent with people's + expectations, and the way I had it before was a bit peculiar to the + way I like things in my own home directory. [Michael Schwern] + + * When the user is using the 'install_base' option, scripts will now + be installed by default in $install_base/bin/ rather than + $install_base/script/ . [Jan Hudec and Michael Schwern] + + Major changes: + + - The auto_features mechanism will now re-evaluate dependencies every + time feature() is called for an auto-feature, rather than freezing + the success/failure value during 'perl Build.PL' and using that + value for all eternity (or module update, whichever comes first). + This applies to both $build->feature() and + FooModule::ConfigData->feature() calls. [Requested by many] + + - Added the meta_add and meta_merge mechanisms, which let the module + author add/merge arbitrary entries into the META.yml file. + + - Now reads per-action default options from '$ENV{HOME}/.modulebuildrc' + if it exists. Command line options override anything set in the rc file. + + - We now use ExtUtils::CBuilder to do all compiling of C code (for + example, when compiling XS modules). + + - The creation of Unix man pages is no longer a strict necessity - it + has now been turned into an 'auto-feature' contingent on the + presence of Pod::Man and a location specified for man pages to go. + + - A user-specified 'install_path' setting will now take precedence + over an 'install_base' setting. This allows the user to use + 'install_base' to set the base for all elements in one go, and then + use 'install_path' to override specific paths or add paths for + additional kinds of targets. + + - Split the main documentation from 'Module/Build.pm' into two + sections. The user level documentation and overview remains in + 'Module/Build.pm', while a new document, + 'Module/Build/Authoring.pod', has been created for module authors. + + Minor changes: + + - new_from_context() was losing its arguments in some cases (and not + because of inadequate training in forensic debate) - we now pass its + arguments directly to the Build.PL script rather than merging them + in afterwards. + + - Let resume() return an object blessed into the appropriate class + if the user has provided a subclass, as specified by the + 'build_class' property. This allows current() and new_from_context() + to behave more like factory methods returning objects of the correct + class based on context. [Ray Zimmerman] + + - Refactored methods relating to parsing perl module files for + package, version, and pod data into a new class: + Module::Build::ModuleInfo. It should not be considered part of + Module::Build's API, because we may split it out entirely as a + separate CPAN module that we depend on. + + - Added new method Module::Build::prepare_metadata() for authors to + override in order to add custom fields to META.yml. + + - We now use Test::More for our regression tests. If the user + doesn't have it installed, we include a copy in t/lib/ that we can + use during testing. + + - When copying files in the 'distdir' action, set permissions to match + the original files. [Julian Mehnle] + + - When adding files like META.yml to the MANIFEST, we now tell the + user we're doing so by printing one of the "Added to MANIFEST: ..." + lines. [Ron Savage] + + - Added a runtime_params() method, which lets a module author see + which parameters were overridden by the user on the command line + (or in whatever paradigm the user originally invoked Module::Build + from). [David Wheeler] + + - Added the current_action() method, which, surprisingly, returns the + name of the currently running action. [David Wheeler] + + - Added docs for run_perl_script(). + + - Added some stuff to the docs about why PREFIX is unsupported, and + what to use instead. [Steve Purkis] + + - The simple get/set accessor methods for all the 'parameters' like + verbose(), license(), etc. now have auto-generated documentation in + Module/Build.pm. + + - Created a Cookbook entry for 'Adding new elements to the install + process' + + - We now add META.yml to the MANIFEST when META.yml is created, not + when MANIFEST is created. [Spotted by Ron Savage] + + - Added some additional patterns to the suggested MANIFEST.SKIP + contents, and changed the docs so that we encourage the user to use + the MANIFEST.SKIP. [Ron Savage] + + - Eliminated a redundant recipe from the Cookbook, now that there are + some more extensive recipes on how to add stuff to the + build/install sequences. + + - Eliminated an undefined-variable warning when testing under perl 5.005 + + - When building HTML documentation, 'html_backlink' and 'html_css' + properties are now first-class properties, so they can be set from + the command line. [Suggested by Sagar R. Shah] + + - Have script_files default to everything in bin. I believe this is + the least surprising behavior. [Suggested by Michael Schwern] + + - If script_files is given a directory, consider each file in that + directory tree as a script to be installed. This avoids having to + remember to add to the script_files list every time you add a + program. [Suggested by Michael Schwern] + + - We now only load Pod::Man when we actually need to build man pages. + + - We now make Test::Harness use our carefully-selected path to a perl + executable regardless of Test::Harness's version.
