Revision history for Perl extension Module::Starter
1.52 Mon Jul 27 01:25:03 CDT 2009
* Support for more licenses. Thanks to Shlomi Fish.
* Fix slashing problems for Windows. Thanks Olivier Mengué.
* Complains about extra unparsed options to try to detect
problems that come out of misquoted variables. Thanks to Gunnar Wolf.
* The list of files to ignore is now called ignore.txt,
which you can turn into .cvsignore, .gitignore, MANIFEST.SKIP
or whatever.
* Handles authors with apostrophes in their names better.
Thanks to, not surprisingly, Dave O'Neill.
* Removed module requirements on Test::Pod and Test::Pod::Coverage
for Module::Starter to be built and installed. However,
t/pod.t and t/pod-coverage.t do still both get created even
if either of their two main modules are not installed.
1.50 Tue Oct 28 00:27:37 CDT 2008
* Added Perl Training Australia's getting-started.html

1.43_02 Wed Apr 25 09:37-Wed May 09 14:46 PDT 2007 <cjac@colliertech.org>
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* broke Module::Starter::Simple's README_guts and module_guts
methods into smaller, override-able pieces
* re-factored Module::Starter::Simple's build system; the
build metadata now lives in Module::Starter::BuildSet. This
allows us access to the metadata from the test suite. It
also makes it a bit easier to add supported builders.
* added a test Plugin module (based on Module::Starter::PBP)
* wrote a test suite for running module-starter
* wrote a test suite for Module::Starter::BuildSet
* modified the critic Makefile target to name the policy which
raised the violation
* Split most long lines (>80 chars) on whitespace
[FIXES]
* Ensured that perlcritic succeeds without errors or warnings
* Added perlcriticrc to the MANIFEST
* corrected build -> builder in module-starter --help docs
1.43_01 Wed Mar 28 12:21:00 EDT 2007
[FIXES]
* Now properly reports on all files in --verbose mode.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Add support for Module::Install
1.42 Wed Nov 9 11:25:10 CST 2005
[FIXES]
* Don't build Build.PL or Makefile.PL multiple times
* Move Test::More from require to build_require in Build.PL
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Documentation now includes references to search.cpan, AnnoCPAN,
RT and CPAN Ratings.
* Email addresses are now obfuscated very basically as
"andy at petdance.com".
* Include boilerplate.t to notice unchanged boilerplate text
* Experimental new method to handle plugin loading
1.40 Wed Jul 6 19:30:00 CDT 2005
[FIXES]
* Document --dir option to module-starter
* Proper escaping of $] and $^X
* Never use \ for path delimiters in {Makefile,Build}.PL
* Don't always completely ignore --license
1.38 Wed Mar 16 20:28:00 CST 2005
[FIXES]
* Don't allow invalid module names
1.36 Mon Mar 7 08:38:00 CST 2005
[FIXES]
* 00.load.t is now 00-load.t, so VMS and RiscOS folks can use it.
* Escape apostrophes in author name in Makefile.PL
* Add a link directly to this dist's queue in RT, not just to RT
* Don't set configdir to something in $HOME if it's undef
1.34 Mon Sep 20 19:15:00 CDT 2004
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* module-starter now reads a config file
1.30 Mon Aug 16 14:00:00 CDT 2004
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Module::Starter is now merely a public interface to plugins
* Module::Starter::Simple, the old M::S is now a plugin
* Module::Starter::Plugin::Template added
* module-starter now shows usage if no parms are passed.
* The t/pod.t and t/pod-coverage.t files now use tainting,
and require the appropriate versions of Test::Pod and
Test::Pod::Coverage, respectively.
1.22 Mon Jul 12 17:05:26 CDT 2004
[FIXES]
* Another fix to inline POD, to cope with brain damage in Pod::Parser
1.20 Sun Jul 11 22:28:57 CDT 2004
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Moved some data (distro, basedir) from parameters to object data
* Moved some data (rtname) from routine-local to parameter data
* Correted lies in POD regarding args to create_distro
* Every create_file method now calls a file_guts method to get
contents.
* All the quoted POD inline should now not render in perldoc.
* The module-build script now respects --class
* Minor refactoring of parameters to create_directory and _module
* Everything is now an overridable object method. Thanks to
Ricardo Signes.
* Added verbose() method.
* Added progress() method so subclass can decide how progress
is reported.
All of the above is courtesy the diligent work of Ricard Signes.
[DOCUMENTATION]
* Large expansion of POD (Starter.pm and module-starter)
1.00 Fri Jun 25 17:57:31 CDT 2004
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Added a README file. The README file is somewhat intelligently
constructed, too.
* Now you can specify both EU::MM and M::B as your builders,
so the module can have a double life.
Thanks to Sébastien Aperghis-Tramonifor the help.
