Changes for version 0.23_01 - 2009-02-02

  • "static_dependencies" option for automatic resolution of the statically declared dependencies.
  • "get_module_dependencies" and "get_script_dependencies" methods returning a list of all PAR distributions from the repository required to use a given module or script.
  • Much better abstraction of the (internal) X_dbm methods
  • Upgrading the testing repositories to include deps.
  • Require PAR 0.985 due to minor bug fix for the "run script from repository" use case.

Changes for version 0.22_01 - 2009-01-25

  • Implement/fix auto-upgrading.
  • Require PAR 0.984 for upgrading.
  • Require PAR::Dist 0.43 so install_module doesn't fail with newer ExtUtils::Installs

Changes for version 0.21_03 - 2009-01-14

  • Disable File::Temp exclusive locking or else BSD is unhappy.

Changes for version 0.21_02 - 2009-01-13

  • Support for setting custom cache directories with the cache_dir parameter to new().
  • Set PAR_TEMP to a real temporary directory with cleanup for the tests so there are not files leftover after testing (RT #30018)

Changes for version 0.21_01 - 2009-01-13

  • Fix return values of modules_dbm and scripts_dbm: Formerly, they would only return the hash (not the file) if the checksums matched.
  • Fix return value of need_dbm_update on success. Documented to be the empty list, was 0.
  • Fix need_dbm_update in case the checksums had never been fetched before.
  • Fix autovivification bug in _fetch_module(). (very minor)
  • Fix bug in _fetch_module()
  • Much, MUCH better tests.
