Changes for version 1.59_01 - 2019-02-27

  • Fix test fail for download negotiation plugin introduced in 1.58_01 which was expressed on systems without curl installed.

Changes for version 1.58_01 - 2019-02-27

  • Prefer Fetch::CurlCommand over Fetch::HTTPTiny for https when:
    • Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL are not installed
    • AND curl is installed
    • AND curl supports https
    • This makes AB more reliable on platforms like OS X when openssl is broken without a third party package system like homebrew, and on older Perls like 5.8.x where Net::SSLeay frequently does not install or pass tests. The existing behavior of prefer Fetch::HTTPTiny when:
      • Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL are already installed
      • OR the URL is http
      • OR curl is not already installed
    • is still in effect. (gh#93, gh#94)

Changes for version 1.57_01 - 2019-02-26

  • Test unzip command before blindly using it (tests were already being made for tarballs) (gh#90)

Changes for version 1.56_01 - 2019-02-24

  • Prefer Alien::unzip over Archive::Zip. The latter turns out to be broken on one platform or another for much of the time. (gh#74, gh#89).
