Changes for version 0.36_21 - 2011-01-21

  • Changed YAML::Tiny references to the new CPAN::Meta::YAML module instead, which is the YAML-variant that is going into the Perl core

Changes for version 0.36_20 - 2010-12-10

  • DEPRECATIONS ***
  • Module::Build::Version has been deprecated. Module::Build now depends directly upon version.pm. A pure-perl version has been bundled in inc/ solely for bootstrapping in case configure_requires is not supported. M::B::Version remains as a wrapper around version.pm.
  • Module::Build::ModuleInfo has been deprecated. Module::Build now depends directly upon Module::Metadata (which is an extraction of M::B::ModuleInfo intended for general reuse). A pure-perl version has been bundled in inc/ solely for bootstrapping in case configure_requires is not supported. M::B::ModuleInfo remains as a wrapper around Module::Metadata.
  • Module::Build::YAML has been deprecated. Module::Build now depends directly upon YAML::Tiny. M::B::YAML remains as a subclass wrapper. The YAML_support feature has been removed, as YAML is now an ordinary dependency.

Changes for version 0.36_19 - 2010-12-07

  • Bug fixes:
  • Perl::OSType is declared as a 'configure_requires' dependency, but is also bundled in inc (and loaded if needed) [David Golden]

Changes for version 0.36_18 - 2010-12-06

  • Changes:
  • Added dependency on Perl::OSType to refactor and centralize management of OS type mapping [David Golden]
  • When parsing a version number out of a file, any trailing alphabetical characters will be dropped to avoid fatal errors when comparing version numbers. These would have been dropped (with a warning) anyway during an ordinary numeric comparison. (RT#56071) [David Golden]
  • Bug fixes:
  • A Perl interpreter mismatch between running Build.PL and running Build is now a fatal error, not a warning (RT#55183) [David Golden]
  • Bundled Module::Build::Version updated to bring into sync with CPAN version.pm 0.86 [David Golden]
  • No longer uses fake user 'foo' in t/tilde (RT#61793) [David Golden]
  • Won't fail tests if an ancient Tie::IxHash is installed
    • Christopher J. Madsen
  • Correctly report missing metafile field names [David Golden]
  • Suppress uninitialized value errors during Pod creation on ActiveState Perl [David Golden]
  • Return to starting directory after install action; this is an attempt to fix an install.t heisenbug (RT#63003) [David Golden]
  • A broken version.pm load won't cause Module::Build::Version to die trying to install itself as a mock version (RT#59499)
    • Eric Wilhelm and David Golden
  • PERL_DL_NONLAZY is now always set when tests are run (RT#56055) [Dmitry Karasik]
  • 'fakeinstall' will use .modulebuildrc actions for 'install' if no specific 'fakeinstall' options are provided (RT#57279)
    • David Golden
  • Add install*script to search path for installdeps client and search site, then vendor, then core paths
  • Skip noexec tmpdir check on Windows (RT#55667) [Jan Dubois]
  • Arguments with key value pairs may now have keys with "-" in them (RT#53050) [David Golden]
  • Add quotemeta to t/tilde.t test to fix Cygwin fails
    • Chris Williams and David Golden
  • Build script now checks that M::B is at least the same version of M::B as provided in 'configure_requires' in META (RT#54954) [David Golden]

Changes for version 0.36_17 - 2010-10-27

  • Enhancements:
  • Added 'distinstall' action to run 'Build install' inside the generated distribution directory [Jeff Thalhammer]

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]
