Changes for version 0.99_01 - 2010-02-23

  • Improvements
    • Improved the duplicated or circular dependent package detections (gfx, Yappo)
    • Improved the progressive message format
    • Support .zip files (sekimura)
    • Added --look command, like CPAN shell's look
    • Added --recent command that shows you the recent updated modules
    • Added --interactive option, good middleground when install Task:: modules
    • Added --self-upgrade (NOTE: it will downgrade to the stable if you run from the dev release!)
    • Fixed the installation doc to prefer git over CPAN shell
    • Documented that you need GNU tar >= 1.22
    • Wraps configure and test with alarm timeout to not choke on bad dists (hirose31, yappo, tokuhirom)
  • Bug fixes
    • Fixed a bug where log appending fails on Win32 (xaicron)
    • Various fixes on win32 (charsbar)
    • Fixed a bug failing on dists with dual Build.PL/Makefile.PL (mst, aperion)
    • Fixed a bug where build/ directory is treated as Module::Build's Build file on HFS
  • Developer fixes
    • Changed the ~/.cpanm directroy layout - much easier to dig through
    • Rewrote the documentation to be less defensive
    • set AUTOMATED_TESTING when testing a distribution
    • Mentions pip in the doc (chocolateboy, adamk)
    • Support cpan:// URI
    • Added --perl option to specify which perl path to use (mst)
    • Specify minimum versions for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build and ExtUtils::Install
  • Beta features
    • Rewrote the internal using a sane and simple object oriented programming
    • Implemented plugin architectures - this is unstable and turned off by default
