    • guard against concurrent extraction attempts
    • bump "requires" on PAR to a version with additional guards
  • Fix RT#118903: Does not install when '.' is not in @INC
    • apply patch from Graham Ollis (PLICEASE), thanks!
    • make the Module::Install stuff work in the "author" case NOTE: "use lib '.'" does *not* work in this case
  • Move to GitHub. Thanks, OpenFoundry, for years of service.
    • add Perl_5 LICENSE file, make "repository" point to GitHub
    • always refer to the included LICENSE file
    • point bug reports to bug-par-packer@rt.cpan.org
