Changes for version 6.57_08 - 2011-03-27

  • VMS
  • Removed dependency on cc_runtime.h for VMS as well.
  • Misc
  • Changed how modules are bundled to avoid replacing XS version of Scalar::Util with a pure Perl version [github #4]

Changes for version 6.57_07 - 2011-03-25

  • Enhancements
  • Generates META.json and MYMETA.json in addition to META.yml and MYMETA.yml (David Golden)
  • MYMETA has the runtime requirements made priority over META_* keys to allow generation of a correct META.* into the dist while still generating an accurate MYMETA.* locally (Matt S Trout)
  • Distributions should not depend on cc_runtime.h from core as it is only needed for B::CC
  • Now uses CPAN::Meta to generate META files.
  • Bug Fixes
  • MYMETA.yml generation from META.yml actually works (Matt S Trout)
  • All required META fields are generated, even if they must be filled with "unknown" in place of real data (David Golden)
  • Test Fixes
  • miniperl.t is no longer run outside of the perl core. Its only relevant to bleadperl and requires no backwards compatibility [rt.cpan.org 61868]
  • Cygwin
  • Rebase behaviour was improved (Reini Urban)
  • Build man pages (Reini Urban)
  • Win32
  • Spot valid lib files on Win32 when .a and .lib are mixed. (Christian Walde) [github #3]
  • Extensive testing of ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid for Win32 (Christian Walde)
  • Implemented proper emulation of DOS escaping rules in ExtUtils::MM_Win32 (Christian Walde)

Changes for version 6.57_06 - 2010-10-06

  • Win32
  • Work around dmake's limitations on how long a "line" can be.
    • rt.cpan.org 61286
  • ActivePerl 1007 can now see gcc. [rt.cpan.org 55752] (Christian Walde)
  • Bug Fixes
  • Fix for AUTHOR and undocumented usage of MM->new() (Alexandr Ciornii)

Changes for version 6.57_05 - 2010-09-11

  • Bug Fixes
  • AUTHOR compatibility code should also be called after CONFIGURE callback

Changes for version 6.57_04 - 2010-09-09

  • Bug Fixes
  • Fix several_authors.t
  • Upgrade bundled modules: ExtUtils::Manifest 1.58.

Changes for version 6.57_03 - 2010-09-09

  • Bug Fixes
  • Update MANIFEST

Changes for version 6.57_02 - 2010-09-08

  • Bug Fixes
  • Don't do MANIFEST checks in PERL_CORE (Robin Barker)
  • New Features
  • Accept several values (arrayref) in AUTHOR (Alexandr Ciornii)
  • Add MYMETA.yml support (Adam Kennedy, Alexandr Ciornii)
  • NO_MYMETA key to suppress MYMETA.yml generation (Alexandr Ciornii)

Changes for version 6.57_01 - 2010-08-24

  • Improvements
  • parse_abstract() is more robust supporting "Package.pm" and multiple dashes and spaces. [rt.perl.org 74438]
  • Bug Fixes
  • Recognize .so files in AIX. [rt.cpan.org 41360] (Jens Rehsack)
  • Remove manual image-base generation on Win32/gcc [rt.cpan.org 47138] (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
  • Use the bundled versions of our dependencies if they're not installed.
  • Eliminate use of foreach qw() which will be deprecated in 5.14. [rt.cpan.org 57124] (Zefram)
  • Test Fixes
  • Guard against old versions of YAML::Tiny that worked differently.
    • rt.cpan.org 55500
