Changes for version 0.69

  • Removing auto_install support (ADAMK)
  • Removing Build.PL support (ADAMK)
  • Enabling configure_requires support (ADAMK)
  • Automatically set a configure_requires for the version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker that the author is running.
  • Refactoring a number of modules for reduced size (ADAMK)
  • Add 'share' to the list of directories automatically no_index'ed (ADAMK)
  • license_from correctly marks "GNU lesser public license" as lgpl, not gpl [rt.cpan.org 24635] (AVAR)
  • set author mode ($Module::Install::AUTHOR) when first creating ./inc (RJBS)
  • Don't write perl into PREREQ_PM when using perl_version (ADAMK)
  • Changes for 0.68 - Ricardo Signes
    • The author entry in META.yml is now a sequence, as required
  • Changes for 0.67 - Adam Kennedy
    • Tweaked the license detection code a bit
    • Previous changes working well, going production
  • Changes for 0.66_02 - Adam Kennedy
    • Adding detection of 'proprietary' license.
    • "All rights reserved" clashes with or can invalidate most Open Source licenses. Adding a warning to this effect.
  • Changes for 0.66_01 - 2007-03-15
    • Adding tests_recursive to have M:I search for and explicitly list all test scripts recursively.
    • Adding configure_requires, test_requires and install_requires. These are currently aliases for build_requires but will later result in alternative consequences internally (ADAMK)
    • Reorganising Module::Install::With on the assumption that CPAN.pm will be implementing PERL5_CPAN_IS_EXECUTING.
  • Changes for 0.65 - 2007-03-06
    • Add install_as_core, install_as_cpan, install_as_vendor commands to control the "installdirs" metadata field. Requested by: Tels (renamed by ADAMK and AUDREYT)
    • Add the preop command for users to customize the PREOP rule. (BINGOS)
    • Implement support for $ENV{PERL5_CPANPLUS_IS_EXECUTING} in the experimental Module::Install::With. (ADAMK)
    • Remove the use of features in the Module::Install Makefile.PL. Developers should be quite capable of installing them all. (ADAMK)
    • Remove the use of auto_provides in Module::Install Makefile.PL until we fix it to not break without a pre-existing MANIFEST. (ADAMK)
    • YAML::Tiny is now used as a fallback for generating META.yml. The order of precedence is now YAML::Syck, YAML::Tiny, then YAML.
    • META.yml output is now conformant to spec 1.3.
    • Add MIT license to those detectable by license_from() (GAAL)
  • Changes for 0.64 - 2006-08-24
    • auto_install() will no longer invoke CPAN.pm or CPANPLUS recursively when running under CPANPLUS (i.e., when $ENV{PERL5_CPANPLUS_IS_RUNNING} is set to a true value.)
    • auto_install() would not follow prerequisites of requires() when the module is installed from the command line and only CPAN.pm is installed. [rt.cpan.org 21139] (MSCHWERN)
  • Changes for 0.63 - 2006-06-05
    • "make" gets confused if the Makefile.PL time is in the future, but there is no universal fix for this. As an initial solution, catch the error situation and die with an error to the user. (ADAMK)
    • Adding additional notes on no_index package (ADAMK)
    • Removing hashbang from Makefile.PL and using a $^W = 1 instead (ADAMK)
  • Changes for 0.62 - 2006-05-03
    • Various small back-compatibility bugs squashed, since we advertise that a M:I installer should run back to 5.004 (AUDREYT)
    • Allow non-admin installs to do so without the need for YAML.pm (AUDREYT)
    • Adding an initial implementation of Module::Install::With, containing code to detect the existance of other members of the Perl toolchain, and how we are related to them in any given install run. Initial experimental implementation of CPAN.pm and CPANPLUS detection, based on code extracted from Module::AutoInstall, and other code recommended by the relevant authors. Leaving the new commands undocumented for now, and recommend NOT making general use of them until tested. (ADAMK)
    • In order to implement any form of version locking, which need to know which extensions are in the core (and thus version-locked) and which are custom extensions with legally out-of-sync versions. Added $ISCORE = 1 global to every potentially-bundled core extention, for when we start to do version locking. (ADAMK)
    • The install_share Makefile fragment fails on older ExtUtils::Install versions. When we install_share, add an explicit EU::MakeMaker dependency. Would have done on just ExtUtils::Install, but it isn't PREFIX/PERL5LIB-safe. (ADAMK)
    • Some/many versions of MakeMaker incorrectly set PERL_LIB and PERL_ARCHLIB, which is only supposed to be used for building the core Perl. Since we'll never be doing that, make the Makefile munger blank them if they exist. This lets PREFIX + PERL5LIB for installing private modules work again. (except not PERL_ARCHLIB for now, it's not getting in the way, and for some reason it's used for something else) (ADAMK)
  • Changes for 0.61 - 2006-03-15
    • ActivePerl::Config on case-insensitive filesystems interacts erroneously with Module::Install's (outdated) @INC hack, so remove it. (Patch from Gisle Aas)
    • Improve compatibility with ExtUtils::MakeMaker 5.x by not relying on FIRST_MAKEFILE being set in the MM instance.
    • Remove optional dependency on CPANPLUS. (INGY)
    • Add "realclean_files" command to add files to be cleaned on "make realclean", instead of "make clean". (INGY)
    • Add $VERSION back to inc::Module::Install so we can implement workarounds and back-compatibility code later on. (ADAMK)
  • Changes for 0.60 - 2006-03-11
    • Cleaned up the 0.59 fix a bit and added a bunch of comments explaining the bootup mechanism. A misunderstanding of this on my part led to the 0.58 bug. Sorry folks (ADAMK)
    • Resolved #18040: bundled Module::Install leaks private information Debugging information in Module::Install::Admin was leaking potentially sensitive information. Removed just the files, left the lines (TELS)
    • Fixed a smaller part of the problem with 0.58 that still hurts people if that are an installer AND an author as well. (Reported by dha)
  • Changes for 0.59 - 2006-03-07
    • Resolved #18020: 0.58 was broken; inc::Module::Install's @ISA and $VERSION needs to be set by Module::Install on its behalf. (TELS)
  • Changes for 0.58 - 2006-03-04
    • Made Module::AutoInstall generally aware of AUTOMATED_TESTING
    • Added compatibility with 5.9.3 proxy constants
    • Resolved #11169: problems on VMS. This doesn't mean there won't be problems on VMS though, as this path is oldish and their may be more problems.
    • Added AUTOMATED_TESTING support to prompt() to force the selection of the default (via PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT) when it is enabled.
    • Added infinite loop protection to prompt() just in case automated and/or shortcutted responses to prompts go badly and leave us looping over the same question.
    • Fixed #17961 Use of uninitialized value in array dereference at Module/Install/Metadata.pm line 163. (TELS)
  • Changes for 0.57 - 2006-02-23
    • Fixed a bug where a misnamed hash key was making the extensions fruitlessly reload (or at least try to reload) every command call.
    • Fixed a pod bug for the requires_external_bin head2
    • Because external deps will need versioning eventually, we can never provide a hash to requires_external, and so it's really just supurfluous and invites more bugs. Removed.
    • Experimentally added support for the META.yaml dynamic_config flag. We don't set ANY default value, because of a lack of clarity. It is undocumented in the META.yaml spec, but false in Module::Build, which is really really bad, as it leads to falsely assuming dynamic Makefile.PLs are static when no dynamic_config is provided.
      • Personally, I think it should be static_config anyway, and we may well change it to be that anyway.
    • Added support for requires_external_cc (requires a C compiler) that will integrate with whatever central method we use later to signal to whatever is calling Makefile.PL that there is a missing external dependency. This will also be called by other methods if there is an implicit dependency.
    • Synchronised all the module versions to all be 0.57. This will be used a few versions down the line to add integrity testing of Module::Install's own extension loading process.
    • Added a $VERSION and C<use strict> to the extensions that didn't have one or both of the two already.
    • Fixed a number of minor bugs discovered after turning on C<use strict>.
    • Very carefully beginning to clean up some of the code so it's much more boring (i.e. maintainable).
    • Changed recursion to always preference the installer we are currently running under. So use CPAN.pm in CPAN.pm, and CPANPLUS in CPANPLUS. This simplifies anti-dupe recursion algorithms, and dramatically reduces memory use under CPAN.pm.
    • Documented the install_script command
    • Caught _install_cpanplus happily passing completely illegal CPAN.pm config params to CPANPLUS, and worse, eval-wrapping the set_conf so it could happily ignore errors. Added _cpanplus_config to try and auto-convert CPAN config params to CPANPLUS, and die if we can't. Add more translators as needed.
    • Moved the deprecated commands into their own module Module::Install::Deprecated to stop them being included and reduce package bloat.
  • Changes for 0.56 - 2006-02-12
    • Added experimental support for requires_external_bin to forcefully require the installation of a script or command.
    • Removed a warning in Module::Install::Admin::MetaData when perl_version doesn't have a third part.
  • Changes for 0.55 - 2006-01-27
    • This release only not signed (Released by ADAMK who has no keys)
    • Another pass over the POD to clean up and remove mistaked (ADAMK)
    • Module::Install::Share installs to blib/lib rather than blib/arch. Most files will be non-arch-specific, and it was causing problems down the road with File::ShareDir. All existing working install_share/File::ShareDir continues to work.
    • New command auto_include_dependent_dists() to recursively include dependent CPAN distributions for modules declared with build_requires(). This differs from auto_include_deps() because it works with whole distribution source trees, not just single modules.
    • Fix POD syntax so t/2-pod.t passes. Contributed by: Ishigaki Kenichi
    • Disable 5.005-specific qr// construct in t/3-autoinstall.t so Perl 5.004 can build this module again.
    • YAML::Syck 0.27+ is now a preferred dependency over YAML 0.35+ for platforms with a C compiler and without either one available.
  • Changes for 0.54 - 2006-01-11
    • Fix can_run() on Cygwin for real. Contributed by: Mark Grimes
  • Changes for 0.53 - 2006-01-11
    • Fix can_run() on Cygwin for paths beginning with /cygdrive/. Reported by: Mark Staggs
    • If YAML::Syck is present on the system, use it instead of YAML.pm to write out META.yml.
  • Changes for 0.52 - 2006-01-03
    • Module::AutoInstall - disable "sudo" prompting for CPANPLUS 0.050 and CPAN.pm 1.80+ which already has "sudo" support. Reported by: Andreas Koenig
  • Changes for 0.51 - 2005-12-31
    • An additional 100+ lines of documentations in the Module::Install POD file.
    • all_from() with no args now attempts to decude the "from" file from the "name" property.
    • On Cygwin, sometimes AUTOLOAD is called with a gensym'ed package that does not define _top. Try to accomodate for this.
    • Do not ever attempt "sudo" without interactive consent from the user; make the _prompt() in Module::AutoInstall default to 'n' if we are not running in an interactive terminal.
    • Add lib_paths and lib_links commands to Module::Install::Compiler for setting LIBS flags.
  • Changes for 0.50 - 2005-12-26
    • Fixed the bug where cpan signing was set forcibly to true instead of defaulting to false. Reported by: Martin Thurn and Randal Schwartz
    • Module::Install::Admin's copy() subroutine was using a lot of CPU on inefficient regex matches, where a simple passthrough while() line-processing loop would do.
    • The t/ directory is now listed in META.yml's no_index entries by default, along with inc/.
    • YAML.pm is now listed as an explicit dependency.
  • Changes for 0.48 - 2005-12-26
    • New Module::Install::Compiler extension with commands: c_files(), inc_paths(), optimize_flags().
  • Changes for 0.47 - 2005-12-25
    • Slight documentation cleanup and update Module::Install::Admin version to 0.47; no functional changes.
  • Changes for 0.46 - 2005-12-22
    • tests() should always take effect even if auto_install() or makemaker_args() had set it before. Reported by: Jesse Vincent.
  • Changes for 0.45 - 2005-12-16
    • Improved detection for author_from() based on the copyright line in addition to =head1 AUTHORS.
    • Bump version of Module::Install::Admin to match Module::Install. Reported by: Sebastian Riedel
  • Changes for 0.44 - 2005-12-13
    • Module::Install::Bundle now extract files correctly again; this was a regression since 0.40. Reported by: Randal Schwartz
    • Add support to Module::Includes::Bundle so each subdirectory can use Module::Install for bundling.
    • The "bundles:" key in META.yml is now populated even if the bundled modules already exist on the system.
  • Changes for 0.43 - 2005-12-12
    • Better documentation to install_share().
    • New author_from() command to guess the author name from POD.
    • all_from() no longer probes for metadata that has been set before.
  • Changes for 0.42 - 2005-12-11
    • auto_provides() was broken due to a typo.
    • New command install_share() to put a directory's content into the per-distribution auto/ directory.
  • Changes for 0.41 - 2005-12-11
    • Only query '$self->tests' if we haven't been given an explicit list (From Paul Fenwick)
    • New command auto_provides() to calculate "provides:" information using Module::Build. Requested by Chia-Liang Kao.
  • Changes for 0.40 - 2005-12-07
    • Massively updated documentation (more to come later).
    • Parentheses are now optional in Makefile.PL.
    • Includes Module::AutoInstall, a cleaned-up version of ExtUtils::AutoInstall.
    • New command all_from() to combine all *_from() tests into one.
    • New command test() to Support specifying test files.
    • New command feature() to list individual features easily.
  • Changes for 0.37 - 2005-08-04
    • Always include ExtUtils::AutoInstall in inc/ if auto_install() is called.
    • Fixed a bug where modules having shared libraries would sometimes be included in inc/.
    • The needs shared library message will now only be printed if the module version indicates that it would otherwise be included. The module name has also been corrected so that "::" is used everywhere instead of "/".
  • Changes for 0.36 - 2004-09-09
    • First version under SVK management.
    • install_scripts() now takes multiple scripts to install.
  • Changes for 0.35 - 2004-07-13
    • Jos Boumans reported that "use inc::Module::Install 0.34" was failing because Module::Install does not assign VERSION to inc::Module::Install.
    • Implemented auto_include_deps() for real.
  • Changes for 0.34 - 2004-07-01

  • Changes for 0.33 - 2004-03-11
    • abstract_from() was broken; it works now thanks to SHAY.
    • WriteAll() now takes (inline => 1) to support Inline-based modules.
  • Changes for 0.31 - 2003-12-31
    • Allow auto_install() to take -core-specific options like (-default => 0).
    • No longer use inc/SCRIPT but simply modify the scripts to install.
    • Make can_cc() to probe the program part of $Config{cc}
    • Bundled M::I-using modules (or subdirs) used to break up spectacularly by overriding ::AUTOLOAD and reusing their parents' inc/*. Now the namespaces are keyed by cwd and more readily unregistered.
  • Changes for 0.29 - 2003-12-14
    • Introducing &WriteAll, a combination of &Meta->write, &check_nmake, &Makefile->write, and if a Build.PL is present (which should read "require 'Makefile.PL'"), also supports transparent &Build->write.
    • Real Module::Build support in WriteAll and in this module.
    • Transparent Build.PL, as promised in README, is back.
    • WriteAll now takes three non-metadata flags: check_nmake (default 1), meta (default 1) and sign (default 0).
    • The "private" key in META.yml is officially obsoleted by "no_index".
    • Now warns if the user did not specify a license.
    • "requires( perl => $version )" is now supported.
    • include_deps() now no longer takes its second argument; it must be separately supplied with the syntax above.
    • "&WriteAll" now officially replaces "&Build->write", "&Makefile->write", "&Meta->write" and "check_nmake()".
    • Implemented auto_include() and bundle_deps().
    • Add "#defaults" to MANIFEST.SKIP.
  • Changes for 0.28 - 2003-12-11
    • Module::Install::Bundle now works, thanks to Adam Foxson!
    • Unbreak against newer EU::MM.
    • Let "inc" work with "make test" on 5.6.x too.
    • mcdavis pointed out that Microsoft now wants "Nmake15.exe", not "nmake15.exe".
  • Changes for 0.27 - 2003-10-27
    • Make the include'd modules actually work during "make" and "make test", by adding "inc" to the Makefile targets.
    • Graham's patch for 5.004 backcompat.
    • Graham Barr points out that readdir() can return 0.
    • Do not sign the distribution if we are not the admin.
  • Changes for 0.26 - 2003-10-17
    • sign(1) support for automatic digital signing.
    • no_index(directory => 'example') support, for telling PAUSE and search to skip indexing modules.
  • Changes for 0.25 - 2003-10-13
    • Add no_index as an alias to private in META.yml.
    • Support for YAML::Parser::Syck.
    • No point in supporting Build.PL now.
  • Changes for 0.24 - 2003-09-01
    • 0.17 is simply too old as it scans in POD sections.
    • Kingpin <mthurn@carbon> notes that we are using "next" outside a loop block in ScanDeps.
    • threads.pm and warnings.pm should be exempted too.
  • Changes for 0.23 - 2003-08-18
    • Implemented $self->is_admin to properly test if it's running on the admin side.
    • Andreas Koenig reports that we are writing META.yml even on the user side, because of this bug.
    • sWitch to PAR::Dist to do make_par().
  • Changes for 0.22 - 2003-07-16
    • Turns out that MakeMaker's NAME corresponds to META.yml's module_name, and DISTNAME corresponds to name. Reflect this in the relevant files.
    • Introduce a new module_name metadata key that may be automatically generated from name.
    • /\.pm/i should be /\.pm$/i.
    • Iain Truskett wants us to not overwrite alien META.yml files.
    • PREREQ_PM wasn't being filled out.
    • Should be including YAML dependencies too.
    • POD cleanups.
  • Changes for 0.21 - 2003-06-15
    • Lindsay Morris pointed out that include_deps() does not work with non-core modules; fixed.
  • Changes for 0.20 - 2003-06-05

    • Eliminated warnings on 5.005.
    • Added the "package inc::Module::Install;" line at request by Graham Barr, for search.cpan.org.

    • Add standard MANIFEST and META.yml to generated PAR file.
    • Implemented the &Meta->read mentioned in the main docs.
    • Our version of WriteMakefile was failing to fine Meta object; fixed.
    • 'make reset' now just an author side alias for 'make purge'.
    • The whole #! business is unneeded since MakeMaker does that.
    • Don't skip other non-pm inc/ stuff when checking MANIFEST.
    • The hashbang line should be the first, not last, in scripts.
    • Also people may not always like -w.
    • We reall want to rmtree() the distdir so that 'make manifest' won't include clobbered files after an aborted 'make dist'.
    • Fix consistency: ->prompt() should only take one line of prompt and expects y/n.
