Changes for version 1.17_08 - 2008-11-11

  • Fixups to config processing and lots of refactoring.

Changes for version 1.17_04 - 2008-10-31

  • Fixes to the chdir and tempdir mess, and many fixes for Windows

Changes for version 1.17_02 - 2008-10-29

  • Fixed the missing UUIDs in the reports. It was just a programming mixup.

Changes for version 1.17_01

  • It's easier to write applications now. You can override find_modules_techniques and examine_dist_techniques to return just the part of the process that you want to do. For instance, if you don't want to run build files, don't return an item for 'run_build_files'.

Changes for version 1.16_02 - 2008-10-15

  • Broke out the logging into categories so that you can target the components that you want to inspect.

Changes for version 0.15_01 - 2008-09-08

  • Big changes to where everything is. I've decouple several components into separate, pluggable classes. If you don't like the classes that backpan_indexer.pl uses, change them in the config file. Look in MyCPAN::Indexer::Tutorial for an explanation of the different classes. Docs are weak at the moment, but getting better.
  • This version also uses a Tk interface. That's fine for right now, but eventually that should be an optional thing.

Changes for version 0.11_01 - 2008-08-29

  • Added parallelism. You can now index things in parallel. In the backpan_indexer.pl config, add a directive for parallel_jobs
  • Adds more run info for operating system, perl version, and so on

Changes for version 0.10_02 - 2008-08-15

  • Initial release of my BackPAN Indexer
