Changes for version 0.36_16 - 2010-08-26

  • Bug fixes:
  • Better error message in case package declaration is not found when searching for version. [Alexandr Ciornii]
  • Skips 'release_status' tests on perl < 5.8.1 due to buggy treatment of dotted-decimal version numbers [David Golden]

Changes for version 0.36_15 - 2010-08-25

  • Bug fixes:
  • Added a mock Software::License to prevent t/properties/license.t from failing.

Changes for version 0.36_14 - 2010-08-22

  • Enhancements:
  • Adds 'release_status' and 'dist_suffix' properties in preparation for adding CPAN Meta Spec 2 support. 'dist_suffix' will be set to 'TRIAL' automatically when necessary. [David Golden]
  • Makes 'license' more liberal. You can now specify either a license key from the approved list (c.f. Module::Build::API) or just a Software::License subclass name (e.g. 'Perl_5'). This should provide better support for custom or proprietary licenses.
    • David Golden

Changes for version 0.36_13 - 2010-07-28

  • Bug-fixes:
  • Bundled Module::Build::Version updated to bring into sync with CPAN version.pm 0.82 [David Golden]

Changes for version 0.36_12 - 2010-07-27

  • Enhancements:
  • Module::Build::Compat will now convert dotted-decimal prereqs into decimal rather than dying (and will warn about this). [Apocalypse]
  • Bug fixes:
  • Caches case-sensitivity checks to boost performance, fixes RT#55162 and RT#56513 [Reini Urban]
  • Won't try to use ActivePerl doc generation tools without confirming that they are indeed installed. [David Golden]
  • Sets temporary $ENV{HOME} in testing to an absolute path, which fixes some issues when tested as part of the Perl core [Nicholas Clark]
  • Module::Build::ModuleInfo now warns instead of dying when a module has an invalid version. ->version now just returns undef (RT#59593) [David Golden]
  • Changes:
  • When authors do not specify Module::Build in configure_requires and Module::Build is automatically added, a warning will be issued showing the added prerequisite [David Golden]
  • Moved automatic configure_requires generation into get_metadata() and added an 'auto' argument to toggle it (on for META and off for MYMETA) [David Golden]

Changes for version 0.36_11 - 2010-05-27

  • Bug fixes:
  • Handle META/MYMETA reading and writing within Module::Build to ensure utf8 mode on filehandles. Now passes/gets only strings to YAML::Tiny or Module::Build::YAML

Changes for version 0.36_10 - 2010-05-19

  • Bug fixes:
  • Fix failing t/manifypods.t on Windows from 0.36_09 changes [Klaus Eichner]

Changes for version 0.36_09 - 2010-05-11

  • Bug fixes:
  • Improve HTML documentation generation on ActivePerl (RT#53478)
    • Scott Renner and Klaus Eichner

Changes for version 0.36_08 - 2010-04-26

  • Enhancements:
  • Give a list of valid licenses when given one we don't recognize (RT#55951) [Yanick Champoux]
  • Added 'Build manifest_skip' action to generate a default MANIFEST.SKIP
    • David Golden
  • Changes:
  • When temporarily generating a MANIFEST.SKIP when none exists, it will be removed on exit instead of hanging around until 'Build clean'. This is less surprising/confusing and the 'Build manifest_skip' action is now available instead to bootstrap the file [David Golden]
  • Bug fixes:
  • Fixed runtime error on cygwin when searching for an executable command during installdeps testing [David Golden]
