  [BUG FIXES]

  - In the 'installdeps' action, w don't need to check for an
    executable bit on the CPAN client, just try executing it.
    Otherwise we needlessly fail on e.g. VMS.

  - Actually handle utf8 correctly in utf8-man tests. [Leon Timmermans]

  - Don't clobber standard array/hash attributes in subclasses that
    have their own array/hash attributes. [Graham Ollis]

  - We now allow underscores in package names, when extracting the
    name & abstract from POD. [Ricardo Signes, Shlomi Fish]

  - When building HTML docs, fix a problem with setting the --htmlroot
    argument. [Ken Williams]

  - Lower Test::More dependency in the test metadata, so distgen
    output won't mess up console with older Test::More installed.
    [Tatsuhiko Miyagawa]

  - Revised detildification on VMS [Craig Berry]

  - Fix run_test_harness for case when $Switches is an empty string
    [Victor Efimov, Ken Williams]

  [ENHANCEMENTS]

  - Significantly sped up some tests by not forcing HTML docs to be
    built when the user's config doesn't ask for them anyway.
    [Ken Williams]

  - The Module::Metadata package was split out from this distro back
    in 2010.  Removed its regression tests. [Ken Williams]

  - Removed dependence on IO::File, replacing it with safe invocations
    of open(). [Sven Dowideit]

  - Added an 'extra_manify_args' parameter to facilitate man pages
    containing Unicode. [Joenio Costa]

  - Added an '--html_links 0' argument for the 'html' action, which
    can hugely speed things up.  The main effect is speeding up the
    M::B tests themselves. [Ken Williams]

  - Added continuous integration support for the Module::Build code
    itself, through the Travis-CI project
    (https://travis-ci.org/). [Tatsuhiko Miyagawa, Olivier Mengué]

  [DOCUMENTATION]

  - Removed suggestion in the INSTALL document to use the Makefile.PL
    for installation.  Making the Makefile.PL lower-profile in
    general. [Ken Williams]

  - Fix link from UpperCase CPAN::META::Spec to CPAN::Meta::Spec in
    API.pod. [Sven Dowideit]

  [OTHER]

  - Removed unused platform specific modules that never contained
    anything. [Leon Timmermans]

  - Lots of typo fixes in comments & documentation. [David Steinbrunner]


0.4005 - Thu Apr 25 15:10:14 CEST 2013

  [ENHANCEMENTS]

  - Added --pureperl-only support

  [BUG FIXES]

  - #72176: pod2html will fail with an empty podpath in some cases. [Phillip Moore]

  - Fix links between modules in HTML docs output [Michael Wild, Leon Timmermans]

"Module::Build" is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl
modules. It is meant to be an alternative to "ExtUtils::MakeMaker".
Developers may alter the behavior of the module through subclassing in a
much more straightforward way than with "MakeMaker". It also does not
require a "make" on your system - most of the "Module::Build" code is
pure-perl and written in a very cross-platform way. See "MOTIVATIONS" for
more comparisons between "ExtUtils::MakeMaker" and "Module::Build". To
install "Module::Build", and any other module that uses "Module::Build" for
its installation process, do the following: perl Build.PL # 'Build.PL'
script creates the 'Build' script ./Build # Need ./ to ensure we're using
this "Build" script ./Build test # and not another one that happens to be
in the PATH ./Build install This illustrates initial configuration and the
running of three 'actions'. In this case the actions run are 'build' (the
default action), 'test', and 'install'. Other actions defined so far
include: build manifest clean manifest_skip code manpages config_data
pardist diff ppd dist ppmdist distcheck prereq_data distclean prereq_report
distdir pure_install distinstall realclean distmeta retest distsign
skipcheck disttest test docs testall fakeinstall testcover help testdb html
testpod install testpodcoverage installdeps versioninstall You can run the
'help' action for a complete list of actions.
