Changes for 0.052 Wed Feb 9 18:44:13 CET 2005
====================================================
* Make auto-installation work (with some guess work) if
$ENV{PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT} is set.
* Setup decent defaults for the callbacks, so scripts
don't have to set them unless they want actual callback
behaviour (This helps ExtUtils::AutoInstall greatly).
* chmod() extracted files to 755 so we do not get permission
denied errors when trying to remove them or copy over them
if they were not +w for the user.
* Don't use sudo, even if it's configured, if the user is
root already.
* Default to 'prefer binary programs' if Compress::Zlib is
not installed.
* Make 'parse_module' deal better with paths that have sub
directories in them.
* Make 'parse_module' deal better with version numbers
that have letters in them.
* Don't shell out to get the perl version if the perl we
looking for is $^X;
* Improve finding a proper homedir for cpanplus on VMS
* Accept the perl version as an optional argument to
'module_is_supplied_with_perl_core'
* Require Test::Reporter 1.27 for test reporting; it fixes
many bugs.
* Only load Module::Build when we really needed it, not on
any installation.
* Fix a bug that made 's reconfigure' not use the defaults
from your current config.
* RedHat 9.0's stock perl has a few serious bugs in it
(they applied custom patches) and will break CPANPLUS
badly. Add a note to the makefile.pl that redhat users
should upgrade their perl.
* CPANPLUS::inc was encountering 'use' calls that had windows
paths rather than unix paths (???). Patch to compensate
for this.
* Module::Load::Conditional cache is being flushed in standard
flush runs now, allowing use of LWP (and similar) when it
becomes available, even if it previously wasn't.
* Don't copy 'Config.pm-orig' to 'Config.pm' during Makefile.PL
stage -- if the user has a custom config and forgets to set
the environment var, CPANPLUS' tests will use the wrong config.
* Some tarballs have '.' as directory, rather than project sub
directory. Guess first for extraction dir and verify, only
then try the actual extract path.
* Improve documentation in the Default shell
* Improve test reporting texts as supplied by Barbie
* Add a callback to munge test reports before they are sent
* Add versions of loaded dependencies to the test reports.
* Make limited tests on skipped configuration work properly.
* Don't use sudo to install into our own sandbox for
Module::Build tests
* Skip module::build tests if we're under PERL_CORE and
M::B is not available (not yet integrated)
* Skip install tests if run under PERL_CORE
* Adjust include paths and paths to perl when tests are
run under PERL_CORE
* Update bundled IPC::Run to version 0.80
* Update bundled Module::Build to version 0.26081
* Improve tests
Changes for 0.051 Fri Jan 14 15:10:02 CET 2005
====================================================
* First official release in the ground-up rewrite '0.05x'
series
* When determining installed versions, don't parse
commented out versions
* Version numbers of 'undef' aren't really versions, they
are now treated as '0.0'
* Split out 'create' into 'prepare' and 'create' so that
package manager plugins can provide an option to alter
metadata before actually building the package
* Add convenience methods for 'prepare' and 'create'
* Update CPANPLUS::Dist::Sample docs to reflect new
prepare functionality
* Use constants where possible
* Add new methods 'contains' to get a list of modules
contained in a package
* Update to bundle Module::Build 0.2607
* Return to prefering Build.PL over Makefile.PL
* Update various other bundled modules
* Bundle Module::Pluggable for Dist:: plugin support
* Missing test suites of module was not detected
properly, resultings in undeserved 'pass' grade
* dslip data with ';' in it caused parse errors
* Mark a fatal error when loading the shell and not being
able to load a valid config file
* Various spelling fixes
* Improve tests
Changes for 0.050_04 Sun Dec 26 16:54:46 CET 2004
====================================================
* Add rsync support to CPANPLUS
* List rsync mirrors during setup
* Default to the email mentioned in Config.pm during setup
* Add timeout support for fetching files from mirrors
* Config version has gone up because of new timeout version
-- reconfiguration required
* Mention Bundle::CPANPLUS::Dependencies in the Makefile.PL
* Add license information to dslip output
* Send N/A Grade to cpantesters when your perl version is
too low according to the Makefile.PL
* Drop dependancy on Mail::Send for test reporting, use a
fixed version of Test::Reporter instead
* Alias $modobj->name to $modobj->module for more DWIMery
* cpan2dist now allows creation of distributions from local
tarballs as well
* cpan2dist now uses the newly defined dist standard to find
out where distributions were created
* cpan2dist (and CPANPLUS::Dist) plugin detection is now regex
based
* Specifying CPANPLUS object id's when creating fake module
or author objects is now optional
* Small backward-compat hack to make sure old versions of
ExtUtils::AutoInstall keep working with the new CPANPLUS
* Various documentation patches
* Update various bundled modules
Changes for 0.050_03 Fri Dec 17 13:54:48 CET 2004
====================================================
* Move to Module::Pluggable to find CPANPLUS::Dist::*
plugins.
* Make CPANPLUS::Dist::* generate a few required accessors
itself, rather than making all submodules do it themselves
* Rename cpan2dist.pl to cpan2dist to be more 'unixish'
* Improve cpan2dist diagnostics
* Add pod to cpan2dist
* Change config layout for distribution types (incompatible
change -- will require reconfiguration)
* Add 2-way version checking so cpanplus + its config can
both verify if their counterparts are compatible
* Move logic for 'best_path_to_module_build' to Module.pm
* Make logic to detect installed modules follow symlinks
(required for among others, debian)
* 'force install' will try even harder to install a module
if it can, even if it previously failed.
* Make test reports report the version of CPANPLUS, not the
version of the constants file the headers are in.
* Update various bundled modules to their newest versions
* Stringify '$@' to avoid clobbering by sub routine calls
* Various documentation improvements
* Various spelling fixes
* Clean up trailing whitespace from sources
* Add more files to MANIFEST.skip
* Update MANIFEST
Changes for 0.050_02 Fri Dec 10 15:03:39 CET 2004
====================================================
* Move CPANPLUS::Dist::(Deb|Ports) to it's own repository
* Fix error when Test::Reporter is unavaliable
* Various spelling fixes
* Added CPANPLUS::Hacking pod with instructions how to hack on
CPANPLUS
* Added an environment variable 'PERL5_CPANPLUS_IS_RUNNING' which
will be set to the current process id, so subprocesses can
recognize that they are running under CPANPLUS
* Some wordings have changed for the setup, to make things a bit
clearer
* Add 'do we have test::reporter support' probing code (used in
test suite)
* Add Mail::Send as a prerequisite for test::reporter support
* Don't attempt to actually send test reports from our test suite
-- Test::Reporter doesn't do that itself either, we might have
failed tests due to Test::Reporter rather than ourselves
* Mention 'bundle::cpanplus::test::reporter' which has all the
modules needed to have test::reporter support enabled
* Improved accuracy for core module detection logic and errors
* More support for connecting to remote machines using
CPANPLUS::Daemon (not yet released, but will be soon)
* Add extra clean up arguments to our own Makefile to remove temp
files
* Extensive overhaul of CPANPLUS::Dist::Build to get Module::Build
support working properly (lots of workarounds for bugs in the M::B
API -- we now bundle a custom patched M::B (0.26061) to cope)
* Module::Build now accepts buildflags
* Seperate inc path for installers (defacto only Module::Build
right now)
* Update various bundled modules like Object::Accessor, IPC::Cmd,
Archive::Extract.
* Smarter loading of bundled modules
* Various speed optimizations
* 't --force' can send a new test::report now
* Don't force current installer format onto prereqs, unless it's
explicitly requested
* Make the default shell be aware when it's running in noninteractive
mode, making sure it makes no suggestions with require interactivity
* Add a message about where the module was extracted to in verbose mode
Changes for 0.050_1 Fri Dec 3 21:07:12 CET 2004
====================================================
* Initial beta release of CPANPLUS 0.050
