XML-LibXML-2.0212

Changes for version 2.0212 - 2026-05-19

  • BUG FIXES
    • Ship POD files in the CPAN tarball. The per-class .pod files generated from docs/libxml.dbk were gitignored, and nothing in the dist chain was producing them, so recent tarballs shipped without POD. The .pod files are now tracked in git (bison-style), so `make dist` includes them via MANIFEST and the documentation reaches CPAN consumers again. Also eliminates the bootstrap problem of needing XML::LibXML installed to build XML::LibXML's docs, and silences the "kit incomplete" warning from `perl Makefile.PL` on a fresh checkout.
  • MAINTENANCE
    • Add a `pod-drift` CI job that runs `make pod_docs` and fails on any diff, catching forgotten POD regenerations after edits to docs/libxml.dbk.
    • Move xmllibxmldocs.pl from example/ to scripts/. It is a maintenance tool that emits source files (POD), not a usage example of XML::LibXML; scripts/ already houses similar build/dev tooling.
    • Skip t/release-kwalitee.t outside a dist tarball. The Test::Kwalitee `has_meta_yml` check was failing under `make test` in author mode because META.yml is only generated by `make dist`. The test now skips cleanly when META.yml is absent and still runs the full 18-check suite under `make disttest` against the unpacked tarball.
