Changes for version 0.2805 - 2006-07-29

  • We now embed a copy of version.pm right in the Module::Build::Version source code, with John Peacock's blessing, in case the user has a rough time installing version.pm. This helps alleviate troubles people were still having with working out a seemingly circular dependency (even though version.pm now ships with a standard Makefile.PL too). A version.pm >= 0.661 installed on the system will take precedence over our bundled one. [John Peacock]
  • Fix some test warnings (or failures?) related to version.pm numification. [John Peacock]
  • The top-level 'version' entry in META.yml files we'd generated was in the wrong format (it was being treated as a version.pm object rather than a serialized copy) due to a weird YAML::Node issue. Fixed.
  • Don't 'use base qw(version)' anymore in our M::B::Version wrapper, just set @ISA directly, because some people have reported that the 'use base' line is croaking.
  • Added an 'allow_mb_mismatch' parameter to suppress the startup check that ensures the version of M::B currently running is the same as the one initially used to run the Build.PL. Use with caution.
  • Module::Build::ModuleInfo will no longer detect things that look like $VERSION assignments after an __END__ or __DATA__ token.
  • Updated documentation to mention the new mailing list on perl.org rather than the old one on sourceforge.
