Changes for version 0.11 - 2002-08-23

  • 'module_version' and 'module_version_from' have been replaced by 'dist_version' and 'dist_version_from', which is what they really meant in the first place. 'dist_name' has been added.
  • 'module_name' is now just a way to set 'dist_name' and 'dist_version_from' in a convenient way.
  • The 'name' in META.yaml is now the distribution name, not the (incorrect) module name.
  • Added the check_installed_status() and prereq_failures() methods for checking prerequisite information with the programmatic interface
  • check_installed_version() now uses check_installed_status() internally
  • Documented the create_build_script() method, which had escaped documentation.
  • create_build_script() now writes prerequisite information to the _build/ directory, for use by Module::Build::Compat.
  • Module::Build::Compat has documentation for a safer way to write a dummy Makefile.PL.
