Changes for version 0.07

  • We now generate a 'META.yaml' metadata file during 'Build dist'. This can be very useful for lots of things, none of which are implemented yet.
  • Added a 'dynamic_config' parameter, defaulting to false. This lets distribution systems (CPAN.pm, etc.) build, test, and install "easy" modules without having to execute the Build.PL at runtime. It's also a guarantee that the list of dependencies is exactly what is present in the metadata file, and won't be changed during the build process.
  • Added support for "recommended" and "build-time requirement" modules, besides those that are absolutely required. Also added a "conflicts" field.
  • Changed the 'prereq' field to 'requires' (the old name will continue to work).
  • Added support for checking the installed version of perl as an explicit dependency.
  • Added a 'license' parameter to specify one of a fixed number of licenses for the distribution.
  • Fixed a bug in Module::Build::Compat that was preventing arguments from being processed properly. [patch by Ilya Martynov]
  • Make sure we're in the right directory when we write the cleanup file, since various ExtUtils::Install errors might leave us in an unknown directory. [patch by Ilya Martynov]
  • Specified the 'license', 'recommends', and 'dynamic_config' values in Build.PL, and changed 'prereq' to 'requires'.
