Changes for version 0.19_04

  • Fixed yet another bug with installation directories, in which the 'install_base' parameter wasn't being respected on the command line. [Spotted by Jonathan Swartz]
  • Now we don't build man pages when there's nowhere to install them, such as on some Win32 or most Mac systems.
  • Improved comparisons of version strings containing underscore characters (indicating "beta" status). [Steve Purkis]
  • Added documentation for the 'dist_author', 'dist_abstract', and 'codebase' parameters to new(), and for the 'ppd' action. [Dave Rolsky]
  • Added documentation for the up_to_date() and contains_pod() methods. [Dave Rolsky]
  • 'traditional' pass-through Makefile.PLs will now contain an INSTALLDIRS parameter matching the Build.PL's.

Changes for version 0.19_03

  • Added a notes() feature, which helps share data transparently between the Build.PL and t/*.t scripts. (XXX needs documentation)

Changes for version 0.19_02

  • The installation process will now create man(1) and man(3) pages from POD in modules & scripts, and install them. [large patch by Steve Purkis, 5.005 fix by Mathieu Arnold]
  • version_from_file() now ignores $VERSION variables that are defined in POD or comments. It can still be tricked by $VERSIONs in string literals, though. [Steve Purkis]
  • The code to find packages in module files now uses Steve's scanning method (above) to skip package-declaration-lookalikes in POD or comments.
  • The 'disttest' action will now propagate its @INC settings to its subprocesses.

Changes for version 0.19_01 - 2003-07-12

  • Fixed a problem with the 'install_path' parameter given to 'Build.PL' being lost in subsequent actions. [Reported by Mathieu Arnold]
