Changes for version 0.2805_01 - 2006-09-07

  • Because of a weird behavior of YAML::Node, any distribution that used version.pm objects to define their versions was generating the wrong syntax for the versions in their META.yml file. They will now appear as strings like v3.42.1 or similar, including the leading v.
  • Upgraded to version 0.67 of version.pm. [John Peacock]
  • Added a contrib/ directory with a bash completion function for M::B actions and switches. [Julian Mehnle]
  • When we eval() the embedded version.pm code we will now die() if the eval() was unsuccessful, rather than continuing blindly on and dying mysteriously later.
  • Added a 'retest' action that lets users run the current regression tests on a previously-installed version of a distribution.
  • Instead of storing an entire dump of the Config.pm hash in the _build/ directory upon startup, we now just store any overrides the user or author has specified. Note that if you were doing anything you weren't supposed to be doing, like poking around in the internals of $buld->{config}, your code might break, so I've put the asterisk of incompatibility on this one just to cover my tuchus. [Idea originally by Randy Sims]
  • Made copying files via copy_if_modified() a little less chatty.
