* Fixed use line in t/edit_file.t to import :edit first
* read_file and write_file work even when interrupted by signals
this includes a test for read_file interrupt
* Fixed bugs in the config synopsis example
Catch up to bundled version in perl-5.14.1, and let not to depend on
external (too new, and troubled) modules with perl-5.14.1.
Revision history for Perl extension Module::Build.
0.3800 - Sat Mar 5 15:11:41 EST 2011
Summary of major changes since 0.3624:
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Generates META.json and MYMETA.json consistent with version 2 of the
CPAN Meta Spec. [David Golden]
Also in this release:
[BUG FIXES]
- Autogenerated documentation no longer includes private actions from
Module::Build's own release subclass. [Report by Timothy Appnel,
fix by David Golden]
0.37_06 - Mon Feb 28 21:43:31 EST 2011
[BUG FIXES]
- prerequisites with the empty string instead of a version are
normalized to "0". (RT#65909)
[OTHER]
- More Pod typo/link fixes [Hongwen Qiu]
0.37_05 - Sat Feb 19 20:43:23 EST 2011
[BUG FIXES]
- fixes failing ppm.t in perl core
[OTHER]
- Pod typo fixes [Hongwen Qiu]
0.37_04 - Wed Feb 16 15:27:21 EST 2011
[OTHER]
- moved scripts/ to bin/ for less confusing porting to bleadperl
0.37_03 - Wed Feb 16 09:54:05 EST 2011
[BUG FIXES]
- removed an irrelevant test in t/actions/installdeps.t that was causing
failures on some Cygwin platforms
[OTHER]
- dropped configure_requires as some CPAN clients apparently get
confused by having things in both configure_requires and requires
- bumped Parse::CPAN::Meta build prereq to 1.4401
- bumped CPAN::Meta prereq to 2.110420
- Pod typo fixes [Hongwen Qiu]
0.37_02 - Mon Feb 7 21:05:30 EST 2011
[BUG FIXES]
- bumped CPAN::Meta prereq to 2.110390 to avoid a regression in 2.110360
0.37_01 - Thu Feb 3 03:44:38 EST 2011
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Generates META.json and MYMETA.json consistent with version 2 of the
CPAN Meta Spec. [David Golden]
[BUG FIXES]
- t/signature.t now uses a mocked Module::Signature; this should be
more robust across platforms as it only needs to confirm that
Module::Build is calling Module::Signature when expected
[OTHER]
- Added CPAN::Meta and Parse::CPAN::Meta to prerequisites and dropped
CPAN::Meta::YAML
0.3624 - Thu Jan 27 11:38:39 EST 2011
- Fixed pod2html directory bugs and fixed creation of spurious blib
directory in core perl directory when running install.t (RT#63003)
[Chris Williams]
0.3623 - Wed Jan 26 17:45:30 EST 2011
- Fixed bugs involving bootstrapping configure_requires prerequisites
on older CPANPLUS clients or for either CPAN/CPANPLUS when using
the compatibility Makefile.PL
- Added diagnostic output when configure_requires are missing for
the benefit of users doing manual installation
0.3622 - Mon Jan 24 21:06:50 EST 2011
- No changes from 0.36_21
0.36_21 - Fri Jan 21 11:01:28 EST 2011
- Changed YAML::Tiny references to the new CPAN::Meta::YAML module
instead, which is the YAML-variant that is going into the Perl core
0.36_20 - Fri Dec 10 15:36:03 EST 2010
*** DEPRECATIONS ***
- Module::Build::Version has been deprecated. Module::Build now depends
directly upon version.pm. A pure-perl version has been bundled in inc/
solely for bootstrapping in case configure_requires is not supported.
M::B::Version remains as a wrapper around version.pm.
- Module::Build::ModuleInfo has been deprecated. Module::Build now
depends directly upon Module::Metadata (which is an extraction of
M::B::ModuleInfo intended for general reuse). A pure-perl version has
been bundled in inc/ solely for bootstrapping in case
configure_requires is not supported. M::B::ModuleInfo remains as a
wrapper around Module::Metadata.
- Module::Build::YAML has been deprecated. Module::Build now depends
directly upon YAML::Tiny. M::B::YAML remains as a subclass wrapper.
The YAML_support feature has been removed, as YAML is now an ordinary
dependency.
0.36_19 - Tue Dec 7 13:43:42 EST 2010
Bug fixes:
- Perl::OSType is declared as a 'configure_requires' dependency, but is
also bundled in inc (and loaded if needed) [David Golden]
0.36_18 - Mon Dec 6 16:46:49 EST 2010
Changes:
- Added dependency on Perl::OSType to refactor and centralize
management of OS type mapping [David Golden]
- When parsing a version number out of a file, any trailing alphabetical
characters will be dropped to avoid fatal errors when comparing version
numbers. These would have been dropped (with a warning) anyway during
an ordinary numeric comparison. (RT#56071) [David Golden]
Bug fixes:
- A Perl interpreter mismatch between running Build.PL and running Build
is now a fatal error, not a warning (RT#55183) [David Golden]
- Bundled Module::Build::Version updated to bring into sync with CPAN
version.pm 0.86 [David Golden]
- No longer uses fake user 'foo' in t/tilde (RT#61793) [David Golden]
- Won't fail tests if an ancient Tie::IxHash is installed
[Christopher J. Madsen]
- Correctly report missing metafile field names [David Golden]
- Suppress uninitialized value errors during Pod creation
on ActiveState Perl [David Golden]
- Return to starting directory after install action; this is
an attempt to fix an install.t heisenbug (RT#63003) [David Golden]
- A broken version.pm load won't cause Module::Build::Version to
die trying to install itself as a mock version (RT#59499)
[Eric Wilhelm and David Golden]
- PERL_DL_NONLAZY is now always set when tests are run
(RT#56055) [Dmitry Karasik]
- 'fakeinstall' will use .modulebuildrc actions for 'install' if
no specific 'fakeinstall' options are provided (RT#57279)
[David Golden]
- Add install*script to search path for installdeps client
and search site, then vendor, then core paths
- Skip noexec tmpdir check on Windows (RT#55667) [Jan Dubois]
- Arguments with key value pairs may now have keys with "-" in them
(RT#53050) [David Golden]
- Add quotemeta to t/tilde.t test to fix Cygwin fails
[Chris Williams and David Golden]
- Build script now checks that M::B is at least the same version
of M::B as provided in 'configure_requires' in META
(RT#54954) [David Golden]
0.36_17 - Wed Oct 27 18:08:36 EDT 2010
Enhancements:
- Added 'distinstall' action to run 'Build install' inside the
generated distribution directory [Jeff Thalhammer]
0.36_16 - Thu Aug 26 12:44:07 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Better error message in case package declaration is not found
when searching for version. [Alexandr Ciornii]
- Skips 'release_status' tests on perl < 5.8.1 due to buggy
treatment of dotted-decimal version numbers [David Golden]
0.36_15 - Wed Aug 25 10:41:28 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Added a mock Software::License to prevent t/properties/license.t
from failing.
0.36_14 - Sun Aug 22 22:56:50 EDT 2010
Enhancements:
- Adds 'release_status' and 'dist_suffix' properties in preparation
for adding CPAN Meta Spec 2 support. 'dist_suffix' will be set
to 'TRIAL' automatically when necessary. [David Golden]
- Makes 'license' more liberal. You can now specify either a license
key from the approved list (c.f. Module::Build::API) or just a
Software::License subclass name (e.g. 'Perl_5'). This should
provide better support for custom or proprietary licenses.
[David Golden]
0.36_13 - Wed Jul 28 22:40:25 EDT 2010
Bug-fixes:
- Bundled Module::Build::Version updated to bring into sync with CPAN
version.pm 0.82 [David Golden]
0.36_12 - Tue Jul 27 00:08:51 EDT 2010
Enhancements:
- Module::Build::Compat will now convert dotted-decimal prereqs into
decimal rather than dying (and will warn about this). [Apocalypse]
Bug fixes:
- Caches case-sensitivity checks to boost performance, fixes
RT#55162 and RT#56513 [Reini Urban]
- Won't try to use ActivePerl doc generation tools without confirming
that they are indeed installed. [David Golden]
- Sets temporary $ENV{HOME} in testing to an absolute path, which fixes
some issues when tested as part of the Perl core [Nicholas Clark]
- Module::Build::ModuleInfo now warns instead of dying when a module
has an invalid version. ->version now just returns undef
(RT#59593) [David Golden]
Changes:
- When authors do not specify Module::Build in configure_requires and
Module::Build is automatically added, a warning will be issued
showing the added prerequisite [David Golden]
- Moved automatic configure_requires generation into get_metadata()
and added an 'auto' argument to toggle it (on for META and off
for MYMETA) [David Golden]
0.36_11 - Thu May 27 09:41:23 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Handle META/MYMETA reading and writing within Module::Build to ensure
utf8 mode on filehandles. Now passes/gets only strings to YAML::Tiny
or Module::Build::YAML
0.36_10 - Wed May 19 18:36:06 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Fix failing t/manifypods.t on Windows from 0.36_09 changes [Klaus
Eichner]
0.36_09 - Tue May 11 09:19:12 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Improve HTML documentation generation on ActivePerl (RT#53478)
[Scott Renner and Klaus Eichner]
0.36_08 - Mon Apr 26 08:00:15 EDT 2010
Enhancements:
- Give a list of valid licenses when given one we don't recognize
(RT#55951) [Yanick Champoux]
- Added 'Build manifest_skip' action to generate a default MANIFEST.SKIP
[David Golden]
Changes:
- When temporarily generating a MANIFEST.SKIP when none exists, it will
be removed on exit instead of hanging around until 'Build clean'. This
is less surprising/confusing and the 'Build manifest_skip' action
is now available instead to bootstrap the file [David Golden]
Bug fixes:
- Fixed runtime error on cygwin when searching for an executable command
during installdeps testing [David Golden]
version 0.005; 2011-07-25
* bugfix: work around core bug [perl #73174] affecting Unicode swash
loading, and apply entire workaround arrangement to 5.11.{0..5}
where [perl #73174] exists but [perl #68590] does not
* correct dynamic_config setting to 0
* include META.json in distribution
* add MYMETA.json to .cvsignore
version 0.004; 2010-11-21
* bugfix: don't attempt to use XS version of the workaround on Win32,
where it can't work properly due to linker restriction on access to
core symbols
* only define PERL_CORE for compilation on Perl versions where the
bug workaround (and thus interference with core-private stuff)
is actually necessary
* in XS, use PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT for efficiency
* in XS, declare "PROTOTYPES: DISABLE" to prevent automatic generation
of unintended prototypes
* in XS, provide a reserve definition of croak, so that the Perl_croak
circumlocution is avoided even with PERL_CORE defined
* in XS, give symbolic names to the Perl version thresholds
* jump through hoops to avoid compiler warnings
* use full stricture in test suite
* also test POD coverage of pure Perl implementation
* in t/setup_pp.pl, avoid a warning that occurs if XSLoader::load()
is given no arguments, which is now a valid usage
* in Build.PL, explicitly set needs_compiler to avoid bogus
auto-dependency on ExtUtils::CBuilder
* in Build.PL, complete declaration of configure-time requirements
* Various patches by Chorny at cpan dot org and fREW frioux at gmail dot com:
* Windows NTFS compatibility fixes.
* Allow PID to be negative.
* Lexically scope temp file handles to reduce changes of memory leak and
avoid unintentional glob clobberation.
* Security fix: 3 arg open().
* Repair test suites logics.
* Fixed infinite freezing on Strawberry Perl v5.10.0.
* Fixed infinite freezing on ActiveState Perl v5.12.1.
* Sorry for the past 8 years of suffering.
* Updating to Module::Install 1.01
* If Win32::GetFolderPath returns a \\UNC type path do not do the
normal -d sanity check, as strange and unusual bugs may occur.
* Fixed code generation for package_static methods.
Changes 0.1601:
* Do not try to rebuld the grammar during CPAN installation.
Changes 0.16:
* Allow renaming destructors and fixed parsing of virtual ones.
v0.6.3
* Document the :connect_timeout option.
* Add support for specifying client-side timeouts when using FramedTransport

invoked at a certain event.
* Fixup socket timeouts.
