92 | ||
93 | [ENHANCEMENTS] | |

99 | ||
100 | [BUG FIXES] | |
101 | ||
102 | - Autogenerated documentation no longer includes private actions from | |

104 | fix by David Golden] | |
105 | ||
106 | 0.37_06 - Mon Feb 28 21:43:31 EST 2011 | |
107 | ||
108 | [BUG FIXES] | |
109 | ||
110 | - prerequisites with the empty string instead of a version are | |
111 | normalized to "0". (RT#65909) | |
112 | ||
113 | [OTHER] | |
114 | ||
115 | - More Pod typo/link fixes [Hongwen Qiu] | |
116 | ||

a7c7ab1e DG |
127 | 0.37_04 - Wed Feb 16 15:27:21 EST 2011 |
128 | ||
129 | [OTHER] | |
130 | ||
131 | - moved scripts/ to bin/ for less confusing porting to bleadperl | |
132 | ||
133 | 0.37_03 - Wed Feb 16 09:54:05 EST 2011 | |
134 | ||
135 | [BUG FIXES] | |
136 | ||
137 | - removed an irrelevant test in t/actions/installdeps.t that was causing | |
138 | failures on some Cygwin platforms | |
139 | ||
140 | [OTHER] | |
141 | ||
142 | - dropped configure_requires as some CPAN clients apparently get | |
143 | confused by having things in both configure_requires and requires | |
144 | ||
145 | - bumped Parse::CPAN::Meta build prereq to 1.4401 | |
146 | ||
147 | - bumped CPAN::Meta prereq to 2.110420 | |
148 | ||
501ab549 DG |

150 | ||
a7c7ab1e DG |
151 | 0.37_02 - Mon Feb 7 21:05:30 EST 2011 |
152 | ||
153 | [BUG FIXES] | |
154 | ||
155 | - bumped CPAN::Meta prereq to 2.110390 to avoid a regression in 2.110360 | |
156 | ||
157 | 0.37_01 - Thu Feb 3 03:44:38 EST 2011 | |
158 | ||
159 | [ENHANCEMENTS] | |
160 | ||
161 | - Generates META.json and MYMETA.json consistent with version 2 of the | |
162 | CPAN Meta Spec. [David Golden] | |
163 | ||
164 | [BUG FIXES] | |
165 | ||
166 | - t/signature.t now uses a mocked Module::Signature; this should be | |
167 | more robust across platforms as it only needs to confirm that | |
168 | Module::Build is calling Module::Signature when expected | |
169 | ||
170 | [OTHER] | |
171 | ||
172 | - Added CPAN::Meta and Parse::CPAN::Meta to prerequisites and dropped | |
173 | CPAN::Meta::YAML | |
174 | ||
175 | 0.3624 - Thu Jan 27 11:38:39 EST 2011 | |
176 | ||
177 | - Fixed pod2html directory bugs and fixed creation of spurious blib | |
178 | directory in core perl directory when running install.t (RT#63003) | |
179 | [Chris Williams] | |
180 | ||
181 | 0.3623 - Wed Jan 26 17:45:30 EST 2011 | |
182 | ||
183 | - Fixed bugs involving bootstrapping configure_requires prerequisites | |
184 | on older CPANPLUS clients or for either CPAN/CPANPLUS when using | |
185 | the compatibility Makefile.PL | |
186 | ||
187 | - Added diagnostic output when configure_requires are missing for | |
188 | the benefit of users doing manual installation | |
189 | ||
7cf8bfc0 DG |
190 | 0.3622 - Mon Jan 24 21:06:50 EST 2011 |
191 | ||
192 | - No changes from 0.36_21 | |
193 | ||
194 | 0.36_21 - Fri Jan 21 11:01:28 EST 2011 | |
195 | ||
196 | - Changed YAML::Tiny references to the new CPAN::Meta::YAML module | |
197 | instead, which is the YAML-variant that is going into the Perl core | |
198 | ||
199 | 0.36_20 - Fri Dec 10 15:36:03 EST 2010 | |
200 | ||
201 | *** DEPRECATIONS *** | |
202 | ||
203 | - Module::Build::Version has been deprecated. Module::Build now depends | |
204 | directly upon version.pm. A pure-perl version has been bundled in inc/ | |
205 | solely for bootstrapping in case configure_requires is not supported. | |
206 | M::B::Version remains as a wrapper around version.pm. | |
207 | ||
208 | - Module::Build::ModuleInfo has been deprecated. Module::Build now | |
209 | depends directly upon Module::Metadata (which is an extraction of | |
210 | M::B::ModuleInfo intended for general reuse). A pure-perl version has | |
211 | been bundled in inc/ solely for bootstrapping in case | |
212 | configure_requires is not supported. M::B::ModuleInfo remains as a | |
213 | wrapper around Module::Metadata. | |
214 | ||
215 | - Module::Build::YAML has been deprecated. Module::Build now depends | |
216 | directly upon YAML::Tiny. M::B::YAML remains as a subclass wrapper. | |
217 | The YAML_support feature has been removed, as YAML is now an ordinary | |
218 | dependency. | |
219 | ||
220 | 0.36_19 - Tue Dec 7 13:43:42 EST 2010 | |
221 | ||
222 | Bug fixes: | |
223 | ||
224 | - Perl::OSType is declared as a 'configure_requires' dependency, but is | |
225 | also bundled in inc (and loaded if needed) [David Golden] | |
226 | ||
227 | 0.36_18 - Mon Dec 6 16:46:49 EST 2010 | |
228 | ||
229 | Changes: | |
230 | ||
231 | - Added dependency on Perl::OSType to refactor and centralize | |
232 | management of OS type mapping [David Golden] | |
233 | ||
234 | - When parsing a version number out of a file, any trailing alphabetical | |
235 | characters will be dropped to avoid fatal errors when comparing version | |
236 | numbers. These would have been dropped (with a warning) anyway during | |
237 | an ordinary numeric comparison. (RT#56071) [David Golden] | |
238 | ||
239 | Bug fixes: | |
240 | ||
241 | - A Perl interpreter mismatch between running Build.PL and running Build | |
242 | is now a fatal error, not a warning (RT#55183) [David Golden] | |
243 | ||
244 | - Bundled Module::Build::Version updated to bring into sync with CPAN | |
245 | version.pm 0.86 [David Golden] | |
246 | ||
247 | - No longer uses fake user 'foo' in t/tilde (RT#61793) [David Golden] | |
248 | ||
249 | - Won't fail tests if an ancient Tie::IxHash is installed | |
250 | [Christopher J. Madsen] | |
251 | ||
252 | - Correctly report missing metafile field names [David Golden] | |
253 | ||
254 | - Suppress uninitialized value errors during Pod creation | |
255 | on ActiveState Perl [David Golden] | |
256 | ||
257 | - Return to starting directory after install action; this is | |
258 | an attempt to fix an install.t heisenbug (RT#63003) [David Golden] | |
259 | ||
260 | - A broken version.pm load won't cause Module::Build::Version to | |
261 | die trying to install itself as a mock version (RT#59499) | |
262 | [Eric Wilhelm and David Golden] | |
263 | ||
264 | - PERL_DL_NONLAZY is now always set when tests are run | |
265 | (RT#56055) [Dmitry Karasik] | |
266 | ||
267 | - 'fakeinstall' will use .modulebuildrc actions for 'install' if | |
268 | no specific 'fakeinstall' options are provided (RT#57279) | |
269 | [David Golden] | |
270 | ||
271 | - Add install*script to search path for installdeps client | |
272 | and search site, then vendor, then core paths | |
273 | ||
274 | - Skip noexec tmpdir check on Windows (RT#55667) [Jan Dubois] | |
275 | ||
276 | - Arguments with key value pairs may now have keys with "-" in them | |
277 | (RT#53050) [David Golden] | |
278 | ||
279 | - Add quotemeta to t/tilde.t test to fix Cygwin fails | |
280 | [Chris Williams and David Golden] | |
281 | ||
282 | - Build script now checks that M::B is at least the same version | |
283 | of M::B as provided in 'configure_requires' in META | |
284 | (RT#54954) [David Golden] | |
285 | ||
286 | 0.36_17 - Wed Oct 27 18:08:36 EDT 2010 | |
287 | ||
288 | Enhancements: | |
289 | ||
290 | - Added 'distinstall' action to run 'Build install' inside the | |
291 | generated distribution directory [Jeff Thalhammer] | |
292 | ||
293 | 0.36_16 - Thu Aug 26 12:44:07 EDT 2010 | |
294 | ||
295 | Bug fixes: | |
296 | ||
297 | - Better error message in case package declaration is not found | |
298 | when searching for version. [Alexandr Ciornii] | |
299 | ||
300 | - Skips 'release_status' tests on perl < 5.8.1 due to buggy | |
301 | treatment of dotted-decimal version numbers [David Golden] | |
302 | ||
303 | 0.36_15 - Wed Aug 25 10:41:28 EDT 2010 | |
304 | ||
305 | Bug fixes: | |
306 | ||
307 | - Added a mock Software::License to prevent t/properties/license.t | |
308 | from failing. | |
309 | ||
310 | 0.36_14 - Sun Aug 22 22:56:50 EDT 2010 | |
311 | ||
312 | Enhancements: | |
313 | ||
314 | - Adds 'release_status' and 'dist_suffix' properties in preparation | |
315 | for adding CPAN Meta Spec 2 support. 'dist_suffix' will be set | |
316 | to 'TRIAL' automatically when necessary. [David Golden] | |
317 | ||
318 | - Makes 'license' more liberal. You can now specify either a license | |
319 | key from the approved list (c.f. Module::Build::API) or just a | |
320 | Software::License subclass name (e.g. 'Perl_5'). This should | |
321 | provide better support for custom or proprietary licenses. | |
322 | [David Golden] | |
323 | ||
324 | 0.36_13 - Wed Jul 28 22:40:25 EDT 2010 | |
325 | ||
326 | Bug-fixes: | |
327 | ||
328 | - Bundled Module::Build::Version updated to bring into sync with CPAN | |
329 | version.pm 0.82 [David Golden] | |
330 | ||
331 | 0.36_12 - Tue Jul 27 00:08:51 EDT 2010 | |
332 | ||
333 | Enhancements: | |
334 | ||
335 | - Module::Build::Compat will now convert dotted-decimal prereqs into | |
336 | decimal rather than dying (and will warn about this). [Apocalypse] | |
337 | ||
338 | Bug fixes: | |
339 | ||
340 | - Caches case-sensitivity checks to boost performance, fixes | |
341 | RT#55162 and RT#56513 [Reini Urban] | |
342 | ||
343 | - Won't try to use ActivePerl doc generation tools without confirming | |
344 | that they are indeed installed. [David Golden] | |
345 | ||
346 | - Sets temporary $ENV{HOME} in testing to an absolute path, which fixes | |
347 | some issues when tested as part of the Perl core [Nicholas Clark] | |
348 | ||
349 | - Module::Build::ModuleInfo now warns instead of dying when a module | |
350 | has an invalid version. ->version now just returns undef | |
351 | (RT#59593) [David Golden] | |
352 | ||
353 | Changes: | |
354 | ||
355 | - When authors do not specify Module::Build in configure_requires and | |
356 | Module::Build is automatically added, a warning will be issued | |
357 | showing the added prerequisite [David Golden] | |
358 | ||
359 | - Moved automatic configure_requires generation into get_metadata() | |
360 | and added an 'auto' argument to toggle it (on for META and off | |
361 | for MYMETA) [David Golden] | |
362 | ||
363 | 0.36_11 - Thu May 27 09:41:23 EDT 2010 | |
364 | ||
365 | Bug fixes: | |
366 | ||
367 | - Handle META/MYMETA reading and writing within Module::Build to ensure | |
368 | utf8 mode on filehandles. Now passes/gets only strings to YAML::Tiny | |
369 | or Module::Build::YAML | |
370 | ||
371 | 0.36_10 - Wed May 19 18:36:06 EDT 2010 | |
372 | ||
373 | Bug fixes: | |
374 | ||
375 | - Fix failing t/manifypods.t on Windows from 0.36_09 changes [Klaus | |
376 | Eichner] | |
377 | ||
378 | 0.36_09 - Tue May 11 09:19:12 EDT 2010 | |
379 | ||
380 | Bug fixes: | |
381 | ||
382 | - Improve HTML documentation generation on ActivePerl (RT#53478) | |
383 | [Scott Renner and Klaus Eichner] | |
384 | ||
385 | 0.36_08 - Mon Apr 26 08:00:15 EDT 2010 | |
386 | ||
387 | Enhancements: | |
388 | ||
389 | - Give a list of valid licenses when given one we don't recognize | |
390 | (RT#55951) [Yanick Champoux] | |
391 | ||
392 | - Added 'Build manifest_skip' action to generate a default MANIFEST.SKIP | |
393 | [David Golden] | |
394 | ||
395 | Changes: | |
396 | ||
397 | - When temporarily generating a MANIFEST.SKIP when none exists, it will | |
398 | be removed on exit instead of hanging around until 'Build clean'. This | |
399 | is less surprising/confusing and the 'Build manifest_skip' action | |
400 | is now available instead to bootstrap the file [David Golden] | |
401 | ||
402 | Bug fixes: | |
403 | ||
404 | - Fixed runtime error on cygwin when searching for an executable command | |
405 | during installdeps testing [David Golden] | |
406 | ||
40c9afb2 CBW |
407 | 0.3607 - Thu Apr 1 11:27:16 EDT 2010 |
408 | ||
409 | Bug fixes: | |
410 | ||
411 | - The 'dist' action now always ensures a clean dist directory before | |
412 | creating the tarball [David Golden] | |
413 | ||
414 | 0.36_06 - Thu Apr 1 01:23:58 EDT 2010 | |
415 | ||
416 | Other: | |
417 | ||
418 | - Migrated repository to git and updated META.yml to match | |
419 | ||
420 | - Removed bugtracker URL (let search.cpan.org use default) | |
421 | ||
422 | - Disabled SIGNATURE generation | |
423 | ||
424 | 0.3605 - Wed Mar 31 12:05:11 EDT 2010 | |
425 | ||
426 | - No changes from 0.36_04 | |
427 | ||
428 | 0.36_04 - Tue Mar 16 21:41:41 EDT 2010 | |
429 | ||
430 | Bug fixes: | |
431 | ||
432 | - Added missing newline to "Changing sharpbang" messages under verbose | |
433 | output (RT#54474) [David Golden] | |
434 | ||
435 | - Added 'beos' to list of Unix-like os types (RT#53876) [Nigel Horne] | |
436 | ||
437 | - Sets $ENV{HOME} to a temporary directory during testing [David Golden] | |
438 | ||
439 | - For VMS: fixed prefix handling plus other test fixes [Craig Berry] | |
440 | ||
441 | - Support anonymous array of directories for c_source [Alberto Simões] | |
442 | ||
443 | - Small POD formatting fix [James Keenan] | |
444 | ||
7dc9e1b4 DG |
445 | 0.3603 - Mon Jan 18 22:28:59 EST 2010 |
446 | ||
447 | (Oops, I released the last one before I realized this should have been | |
448 | fixed along with it.) | |
449 | ||
450 | Bug fixes: | |
451 | ||
452 | - Module::Build::Compat would croak on distibutions that set requires | |
453 | 'perl' to a dotted decimal like '5.6.2'. We now skip that key | |
454 | since it doesn't go into PREREQ_PM and we numify it properly for | |
455 | 'use 5.006002' in the generated Makefile.PL (RT#53409) | |
456 | [David Golden, adapted from patch by G. Allen Morris III] | |
457 | ||
458 | 0.3602 - Mon Jan 18 22:09:54 EST 2010 | |
459 | ||
460 | Bug fixes: | |
461 | ||
462 | - Fix failures in t/properties/needs_compiler.t when $ENV{CC} is set | |
463 | (RT#53296) [David Golden, adapted from patch by Jens Rehsack] | |
464 | ||
465 | 0.3601 - Mon Dec 21 14:39:33 EST 2009 | |
466 | ||
467 | Bug fixes: | |
468 | ||
469 | - When the currently running Module::Build is not the same as the one | |
470 | that created the Build file, there is now a warning rather than a fatal | |
471 | error. This helps installation of dependency chains where a dependency | |
472 | might configure_requires a new Module::Build after Build.PL was already | |
473 | run for an earlier distribution. [David Golden, on advice of Matt Trout] | |
474 | ||
475 | Other: | |
476 | ||
477 | - t/bundle_inc.t fails in odd ways. This test of an experimental feature | |
478 | should not prevent users from installing Module::Build, so this test | |

481 | 0.36 - Sun Dec 20 15:02:38 EST 2009 |
482 | ||
483 | No changes from 0.35_15 other than the version number. | |
484 | ||
485 | Summary of major changes since 0.35: | |
486 | ||
487 | Enhancements: | |
488 | ||
489 | - Added 'Build installdeps' action to install needed dependencies via | |
490 | a user-configurable command line program. (Defaults to 'cpan'.) | |
491 | ||
492 | - Command line options may be set via the PERL_MB_OPT environment | |
493 | variable (similar to PERL_MM_OPT in ExtUtils::MakeMaker) | |
494 | ||
495 | - Generates MYMETA.yml during Build.PL (new standard protocol for | |
496 | communicating configuration results between toolchain components) | |
497 | ||
498 | - Reduced amount of console output under normal operation (use --verbose | |
499 | to see all output) | |
500 | ||
501 | - Added experimental inc/ bundling; see Module::Build::Bundling for | |
502 | details. | |
503 | ||
504 | New or changed properties: | |
505 | ||
506 | - Added 'share_dir' property to provide File::ShareDir support; | |
507 | File::ShareDir automatically added to 'requires' if 'share_dir' is set | |
508 | ||
509 | - Added 'needs_compiler' property. Defaults to true if XS or c_source | |
510 | exist. If true, ExtUtils::CBuilder is also added to build_requires. | |
511 | ||
512 | - 'C_support' is no longer an optional feature. Modern ExtUtils::CBuilder | |
513 | and ExtUtils::ParseXS added to the 'requires' list. This ensures that | |
514 | upgrading Module::Build will upgrade these critical modules. | |
515 | ||
516 | - Clarified that 'apache' in the license attribute indicates the Apache | |
517 | License 2.0 and added 'apache_1_1' for the older version of the license | |
518 | (RT#50614) | |
519 | ||
520 | Deprecations: | |
521 | ||
522 | - Module::Build::Compat 'passthrough' style has been deprecated. Using | |
523 | 'passthrough' will issue warnings on Makefile.PL generation. See | |
524 | Module::Build::Compat documentation for rationale. | |
525 | ||
526 | Internals: | |
527 | ||
528 | - Replaced use of YAML.pm with YAML::Tiny; Module::Build::YAML is now | |
529 | based on YAML::Tiny as well | |
530 | ||
531 | - A new get_metadata() method has been added as a simpler wrapper around | |
532 | the old, kludgy prepare_metadata() API. | |
533 | ||
534 | - Replaced guts of new_from_context(). Build.PL is now executed in a | |
535 | separate process before resume() is called. (This is generally only of | |
536 | interest to Module::Build or toolchain developers) (RT#49350) | |
537 | ||
538 | - Add support for 'package NAME VERSION' syntax added in Perl 5.11.1 | |
539 | ||
540 | Notable bug fixes: | |
541 | ||
542 | - The "test" action now dies when using the 'use_tap_harness' | |
543 | option and tests fail, matching the behavior under Test::Harness. | |
544 | (RT#49080) [initial patch from David Wheeler; revised by David Golden] | |
545 | ||
546 | - Updated PPM generation to PPM v4 (RT#49600) [Olivier Mengue] | |
547 | ||
548 | - When module_name is not supplied, no packlist was being written; fixed | |
549 | by guessing module_name from dist_version_from or the directory name | |
550 | (just like ExtUtils::Manifest does without NAME) [David Golden] | |
551 | ||
552 | - Failure to detect a compiler will now warn during Build.PL and be a | |
553 | fatal error when trying to compile during Build. (RT#48918) [David | |
554 | Golden] | |
555 | ||
556 | - Auto-detection of abstract and author fixed for mixed-case POD headers | |
557 | (RT#51117) [David Wheeler] | |
558 | ||
559 | - resume() was not restoring additions to @INC added in Build.PL | |
560 | (RT#50145) [David Golden] | |
561 | ||
562 | - When tarball paths are less than 100 characters, disables 'prefix' | |
563 | mode of Archive::Tar for maximum compatibility (RT#50571) [David Golden] | |
564 | ||
565 | - Merging 'requires' and 'build_requires' in Module::Build::Compat could | |
566 | lead to duplicate PREREQ_PM entries; now the highest version is used | |
567 | for PREREQ_PM. (RT#50948) [David Golden] | |
568 | ||
569 | - Module::Build::Compat will now die with an error if advanced, | |
570 | non-numeric prerequisites are given, as these are not supported by | |
571 | ExtUtils::MakeMaker in PREREQ_PM [David Golden] | |
572 | ||
573 | ||
229c5935 DG |
574 | 0.35_15 - Thu Dec 17 17:51:22 EST 2009 |
575 | ||
576 | Bug fixes: | |
577 | ||
578 | - Make sure PPM tests are skipped if IO::File is too old [David Golden] | |
579 | ||
53fc1c7e DG |
580 | 0.35_14 - Thu Dec 17 16:02:14 EST 2009 |
581 | ||
582 | Bug fixes: | |
583 | ||
584 | - If not set, the 'module_name' is detected from 'dist_version_from' | |
585 | or from 'dist_name'. The directory is no longer used. [David Golden] | |
586 | ||
587 | - The 'share_dir' property no longer defaults to 'share' and must be | |
588 | explicitly set instead; this fixes problems for CPAN distributions that | |
589 | already have a 'share' directory for whatever reason [David Golden] | |
590 | ||
591 | - Change t/00-compile.t test for more portability [David Golden] | |
592 | ||
593 | - Skip ppm.t if Pod::Html is not available [David Goldenj] | |
594 | ||
595 | - Changed guts of inc::latest to work properly on older versions of Perl | |
596 | [David Golden] | |
597 | ||
598 | - Ensure bundle_inc.t doesn't accidentally uninstall the installed M::B | |
599 | during testing if the user had 'uninst=1' set during Build.PL | |
600 | [David Golden] | |
601 | ||
602 | 0.35_13 - Sat Dec 5 11:26:36 EST 2009 | |
603 | ||
604 | Bug fixes: | |
605 | ||
606 | - Protect against tempfile errors when checking ExtUtils::Installed | |
607 | [David Golden] | |
608 | ||
609 | 0.35_12 - Fri Dec 4 23:06:49 EST 2009 | |
610 | ||
611 | Bug fixes: | |
612 | ||
613 | - Protect inc/ bundling tests against broken ExtUtils::Installed | |
614 | [David Golden] | |
615 | ||
616 | 0.35_11 - Thu Dec 3 11:07:44 EST 2009 | |
617 | ||
618 | *** API CHANGE *** | |
619 | ||
620 | - The old API for prepare_metadata() has been restored to avoid breaking | |
621 | distributions that were overriding it (e.g. BioPerl), but the method | |
622 | has been marked deprecated and may be made private or may disappear in | |
623 | some future version of Module::Build. [David Golden] | |
624 | ||
625 | - A new get_metadata() method has been added as a simpler wrapper around | |
626 | the old, kludgy prepare_metadata() API. [David Golden] | |
627 | ||
628 | 0.35_10 - Tue Nov 24 22:49:19 EST 2009 | |
629 | ||
630 | Bug fixes: | |
631 | ||
632 | - bundle_inc.t is more careful about permissions and open filehandles | |
633 | to avoid failures/skips on Win32 [David Golden] | |
634 | ||
635 | - Fix compilation error in Module::Build::Platform::VMS (RT#51766) | |
636 | [David Golden] | |
637 | ||
638 | - Don't generate a MANIFEST.SKIP during distclean and add any generated | |
639 | MANIFEST.SKIP to cleanup list [reported by Zefram, fixed by David Golden] | |
640 | ||
641 | - Module::Build::ModuleInfo version parsing would fail if a module sets | |
642 | its $VERSION from another module, but the other module is not installed. | |
643 | We now try to detect such failures, prepend 'lib' to @INC and try again. | |
644 | [David Golden] | |
645 | ||
646 | - MYMETA.yml used to be generated from scratch, overriding any | |
647 | customizations used to create META.yml. Now, if META.yml exists, that | |
648 | will be used as the base for MYMETA and only prereq fields will be | |
649 | updated (to reflect any dynamic configuration); also, 'dynamic_config' | |
650 | will be set to false and 'generated_by' will be updated [David Golden] | |
651 | ||
08fc25ad DG |
652 | 0.35_09 - Thu Nov 19 01:30:42 EST 2009 |
653 | ||
654 | Bug fixes: | |
655 | ||
656 | - The DB package should not be included in 'provides' in META files | |
657 | [David Golden] | |
658 | ||
659 | - Fixed t/xs.t build failures in bleadperl for noexec temp directories | |
660 | [Nicholas Clark] | |
661 | ||
662 | - Adjusted order of @INC in resume() (fixes par.t, ppm.t, xs.t fails): | |
663 | @INC = @new_additions_to_inc, @saved_additions_to_inc, @default_inc | |
664 | [David Golden] | |
665 | ||
666 | - Skip bundle_inc.t tests if bundled Module::Build for test can't be | |
667 | tweaked (Works around test crashes on Win2) [David Golden] | |
668 | ||
669 | Other: | |
670 | ||
671 | - 'C_support' is no longer an optional feature. Modern ExtUtils::CBuilder | |
672 | and ExtUtils::ParseXS added to the 'requires' list. This ensures that | |
673 | upgrading Module::Build will upgrade this critical modules. | |
674 | ExtUtils::CBuilder no longer requires a compiler, so it is "safe" to | |
675 | require. | |
676 | ||
613f422f DG |
677 | 0.35_08 - Mon Nov 16 22:38:28 EST 2009 |
678 | ||
679 | Bug fixes: | |
680 | ||
681 | - Multiple tests were failing due to dependency problems. Author | |
682 | dependencies have been largely removed from core 'requires' into | |
683 | optional features. Feature prereq detection and messaging have been | |
684 | expanded and bugs on older Perls have been removed. | |
685 | ||
686 | 0.35_07 - Sat Nov 14 17:14:39 EST 2009 | |
687 | ||
688 | Bug fixes: | |

691 | (RT#51117) [David Wheeler] | |
692 | ||
693 | - resume() was not restoring additions to @INC added in Build.PL | |
694 | (RT#50145) [David Golden] | |
695 | ||
696 | - When tarball paths are less than 100 characters, disables 'prefix' | |
697 | mode of Archive::Tar for maximum compatibility (RT#50571) [David Golden] | |
698 | ||
699 | 0.35_06 - Fri Nov 13 14:51:28 EST 2009 | |
700 | ||
701 | Enhancements: | |
702 | ||
703 | - Added experimental inc/ bundling; see Module::Build::Bundling for | |
704 | details. [David Golden and Eric Wilhelm] | |
705 | ||
706 | - Clarified that 'apache' in the license attribute indicates the Apache | |
707 | License 2.0 and added 'apache_1_1' for the older version of the license | |
708 | (RT#50614) [David Golden] | |
709 | ||
710 | Bug fixes: | |
711 | ||
712 | - Merging 'requires' and 'build_requires' in Module::Build::Compat could | |
713 | lead to duplicate PREREQ_PM entries; now the highest version is used | |
714 | for PREREQ_PM. (RT#50948) [David Golden] | |
715 | ||
716 | - Module::Build::Compat will now die with an error if advanced, | |
717 | non-numeric prerequisites are given, as these are not supported by | |
718 | ExtUtils::MakeMaker in PREREQ_PM [David Golden] | |
719 | ||
720 | - Made MYMETA generation non-fatal if fields required for META.yml | |
721 | are missing [David Golden] | |
722 | ||
723 | - Added Pod::Simple to requirements for manpage support; avoids | |
724 | problems if a user has a broken Pod::Man/Pod::Simple. (RT#50081) | |
725 | [David Golden] | |
726 | ||
727 | - Won't die if installed Pod::Readme is broken [David Golden] | |
728 | ||
729 | Other: | |
730 | ||
731 | - Fixed Module::Build::Notes POD [David Golden] | |
732 | ||
733 | - Some commands had become silent by default, so added a few short status | |
734 | messages so users know something actually happened [David Golden] | |
735 | ||
736 | - Cleaned up Changes file formatting [David Golden] | |
737 | ||
738 | - Removed most PERL_CORE customizations from test files due to | |
739 | reorganization of dual-life modules in core (RT#49522) [David Golden] | |
740 | ||
741 | 0.35_05 - Wed Oct 28 17:20:59 EDT 2009 | |
742 | ||

745 | - Fix test failure in t/actions/installdeps.t when $^X is not the default | |
746 | perl [David Golden] | |
747 | ||
748 | - Work around $VERSION numbers in ActiveState with multiple underscores | |
749 | that prevent Module::Build from installing on Win32 [David Golden] | |
750 | ||
751 | - Fix bug cleaning compatibility Makefile when older ExtUtils::Manifest is | |
752 | installed [David Golden with help from David Cantrell] | |
753 | ||
754 | Other: | |
755 | ||
756 | - Suppressed more warnings from tests [David Golden] | |
757 | ||
758 | - Add provisional support for 'package NAME VERSION' syntax added in | |
759 | Perl 5.11.1 [David Golden] | |
760 | ||

770 | ||
771 | 0.35_03 - Wed Oct 21 21:20:59 EDT 2009 | |
772 | ||
773 | *** API CHANGE *** | |
774 | ||
775 | - The prepare_metadata() method used to take a YAML::Node object as an | |
776 | argument for modification. The method now takes no arguments and just | |
777 | returns a hash reference of metadata. [David Golden] | |
778 | ||
779 | Enhancements | |
780 | ||
781 | - Command line options may be set via the PERL_MB_OPT environment | |
782 | variable (similar to PERL_MM_OPT in ExtUtils::MakeMaker) | |
783 | ||
784 | Bug fixes: | |
785 | ||
786 | - Updated PPM generation to PPM v4 (RT#49600) [Olivier Mengue] | |
787 | ||
788 | - When c_source is specified, the directory scan will include additional, | |
789 | less-common C++ extensions (RT49298) [David Golden] | |
790 | ||
791 | - When module_name is not supplied, no packlist was being written; fixed | |
792 | by guessing module_name from dist_version_from or the directory name | |
793 | (just like ExtUtils::Manifest does without NAME) [David Golden] | |
794 | ||
795 | - Bumped IO::File prereq to fix binmode failures in PPMMaker on Perl | |
796 | prior to 5.8.8 [David Golden] | |
797 | ||
798 | Other: | |
799 | ||
800 | - Replaced use of YAML.pm with YAML::Tiny; Module::Build::YAML is now | |
801 | based on YAML::Tiny as well [David Golden] | |
802 | ||
803 | - Reduced amount of console output under normal operation (use --verbose | |
804 | to see all output) [David Golden] | |
805 | ||
806 | 0.35_02 - Mon Sep 7 22:37:42 EDT 2009 | |
807 | ||
808 | Enhancements: | |
809 | ||
810 | - Added 'needs_compiler' property. Defaults to true if XS or c_source | |
811 | exist. If true, ExtUtils::CBuilder is also added to build_requires. | |
812 | [David Golden] | |
813 | ||
814 | - File::ShareDir automatically added to 'requires' if 'share_dir' is set | |
815 | [David Golden] | |
816 | ||
817 | - Added 'Build installdeps' action to install needed dependencies via | |
818 | a user-configurable command line program. (Defaults to 'cpan'.) | |
819 | [Eric Wilhelm] | |
820 | ||
821 | Bug fixes: | |
822 | ||
823 | - Failure to detect a compiler will now warn during Build.PL and be a | |
824 | fatal error when trying to compile during Build. (RT#48918) [David | |
825 | Golden] | |
826 | ||
827 | - Fixed directory sorting failure in share_dir.t [David Golden] | |
828 | ||
829 | - Property defaults that are data structures were being assigned as | |
830 | references to new objects. Changed so that defaults are cloned instead. | |
831 | (This mostly affects testing, which often creates multiple objects in the | |
832 | same process) [David Golden] | |
833 | ||
834 | - Simplified error message on exit under use_tap_harness [suggested by | |
835 | David Wheeler] | |
836 | ||
837 | - Fixed typemap search to use a dist-level typemap if a typemap is not | |
838 | found in the directory with the *.xs file; (was manifesting as warnings | |
839 | in Perl 5.6 tests) [David Golden] | |
840 | ||
841 | Other: | |
842 | ||
843 | - Replaced guts of new_from_context(). Build.PL is now executed in a | |
844 | separate process before resume() is called. (This is generally only of | |
845 | interest to Module::Build or toolchain developers) (RT#49350) [David | |
846 | Golden, Eric Wilhelm, Ken Williams] | |
847 | ||
848 | - Revised test helper classes to fix potential bugs and add new features | |
849 | to make writing tests simpler and easier. Changes incorporated into | |
850 | t/README.pod and t/sample.t as examples for new testing. [David Golden] | |
851 | ||
852 | 0.35_01 - Mon Aug 31 12:11:10 EDT 2009 | |
853 | ||
854 | Enhancements: | |
855 | ||
856 | - Generates MYMETA.yml during Build.PL (new standard protocol for | |
857 | communicating configuration results between toolchain components) | |
858 | [David Golden] | |
859 | ||
860 | - Added 'share_dir' property to provide File::ShareDir support; | |
861 | set automatically if a directory called 'share' exists | |
862 | [David Golden] | |
863 | ||
864 | Bug fixes: | |
865 | ||
866 | - Fix the t/destinations.t fix. [David Golden, with thanks to Eric Wilhelm] | |
867 | ||

873 | option and tests fail, matching the behavior under Test::Harness. | |
874 | (RT#49080) [initial patch from David Wheeler; revised by David Golden] | |
875 | ||
876 | Other: | |
877 | ||
878 | - Added t/README.pod and t/sample.t to guide developers writing new tests | |
879 | [David Golden, with some code from Eric Wilhelm] | |
880 | ||
881 | - Module::Build::Compat 'passthrough' style has been deprecated. Using | |
882 | 'passthrough' will issue warnings on Makefile.PL generation. See | |
883 | Module::Build::Compat documentation for rationale. | |

909 | - When auto_configure_requires is true (the default), Module::Build will | |
cdbde1c3 DG |
910 | only add last 'major' version of Module:Build (e.g. 0.XX) to |
911 | configure_requires to avoid specifying a minor development release not | |

1292 | [Schwern] | |
1293 | ||
1294 | - Added build_requires for Test::More 0.49 and Test::Harness 2.03. | |
1295 | Removed bundled Test::More (was not working for 5.005x anyway). | |
1296 | [Schwern] | |
1297 | ||
1298 | - Minimum required perl version is now 5.6.1. [Schwern] | |

1301 | ||
1302 | - Backed-out incompatible Module::Build::ModuleInfo change (first in | |
1303 | 0.2808_02.) | |
1304 | ||
1305 | 0.2808_03 - Mon Sep 1 14:43:27 PDT 2008 | |
1306 | ||
1307 | - Made adjustments for the format changes of recent Test::Harness | |
1308 | output. [Nicholas Clark] | |
1309 | ||
1310 | - Fixed the documentation for script_files to indicate that we search | |
1311 | bin/ for scripts by default. It has been this way for several | |
1312 | years. [Spotted by Ron Savage] | |
1313 | ||
1314 | 0.2808_02 - Wed Jul 9 16:45:08 PDT 2008 | |
1315 | ||
1316 | - Experimental support for TAP::Harness with --use-tap-harness option | |
1317 | and the tap_harness_args property. [David Wheeler & Eric Wilhelm] | |
1318 | ||
1319 | - Added test_file_exts property for main-run tests other than '*.t'. | |
1320 | [David Wheeler] | |
1321 | ||
1322 | - Fixed getcwd()/rmtree() failure case on 5.10+mac where something is | |
1323 | unhappy about all of the tests deleting their distgen directory | |
1324 | before leaving it. [Eric Wilhelm & David Wheeler] | |
1325 | ||
1326 | - Improved support for parsing qv() in modules' $VERSION | |
1327 | declarations, and made $VERSION-parsing errors more verbose. [Jos | |
1328 | Boumans] | |
1329 | ||
1330 | - Integrated an omnibus patch for various VMS fixes. [Craig Berry & | |
1331 | John E. Malmberg] | |
1332 | ||
1333 | - Some versions of Test::Harness (or something) seem to not be | |
1334 | stripping the ".t" suffix when outputting test reports, which was | |
1335 | causing one of our tests in t/compat.t to fail. Fixed. [Spotted by | |
1336 | a smoke tester] | |
1337 | ||
1338 | - Most Unix platforms seem to allow hyphens in usernames, so we honor | |
1339 | this in our de-tilde-fying methods now. [Spotted by s-murata] | |
1340 | ||
1341 | - If there are multiple assignments to the $VERSION variable in | |
1342 | someone's module and this generates warnings, tell the user what | |
1343 | line number the problem is at. | |
1344 | ||
1345 | - Added 'gnu' and 'gnukfreebsd' as Unix variants. [Niko Tyni] | |
1346 | ||
1347 | - Fixed a couple bugs in how we quote arguments to external processes | |
1348 | when they have to pass through the shell. Also much more | |
1349 | thoroughly tested our quoting now. | |
1350 | ||
1351 | - Edited the Module::Build::API docs prose about the 'license' field | |
1352 | in response to some comments on the module-authors mailing list. | |
1353 | ||
1354 | - Fixed a typo in some example code in the Cookbook. [Jeremy Leader] | |
1355 | ||
1356 | - Custom typemaps were being looked for in places that don't quite | |
1357 | exist; fixed. [Michael G Schwern] | |
1358 | ||
1359 | - QNX/Neutrino is now considered to be Unix. [rt.cpan.org 32214] | |
1360 | ||
1361 | - Added 'gpl2' and 'gpl3' to the list of valid licenses. [Allen | |
1362 | Engelhardt] | |
1363 | ||
1364 | - Fixed our Data::Dumper wrapper's sensitivity to users who might set | |
1365 | $Data::Dumper::Terse. [Spotted by Dominique Dumont] | |
1366 | ||
1367 | - Documented the fix_shebang_line() method. [Elliot Shank] | |
1368 | ||
1369 | - Applied the 'const' modifier to version() and xs_version() XS | |
1370 | functions we use during testing. [Robin Barker] | |
1371 | ||
1372 | - Fixed processing of INC=, POLLUTE=, INSTALLDIRS=, and LIB= for | |
1373 | passthrough/small Makefile.PLs. | |
1374 | ||
1375 | - perl Build.PL --sign=1 now signs. [Michael G Schwern] | |
1376 | ||
1377 | - Fixed processing of INSTALLDIRS=whatever for compatibility | |
1378 | Makefiles. [Spotted by John Peacock] | |
1379 | ||
1380 | - Zillions of special-cases have been added in Compat.pm for dealing | |
1381 | with the special Makefile system on VMS. [John E. Malmberg] | |
1382 | ||
1383 | - Fixed some stuff in how VMS command-args get quoted. [John E. Malmberg] | |
1384 | ||
1385 | - VMS now overrides localize_file_path() and localize_dir_path() so | |
1386 | we don't need to do special stuff in the general case. [John | |
1387 | E. Malmberg] | |
1388 | ||
1389 | - Added a few more VMS-specific entries to the default MANIFEST.SKIP | |
1390 | file that (sometimes) gets created during the 'manifest' | |
1391 | action. [John E. Malmberg] | |
1392 | ||
1393 | - Fixed a catdir() that should have been a catfile() when creating a | |
1394 | ppmdist. [John E. Malmberg] | |
1395 | ||
1396 | - Removed some assumptions about what makefiles are called (not | |
1397 | necessarily "Makefile") and how they take their arguments, to get | |
1398 | VMS tests working better. [John E. Malmberg] | |
1399 | ||
1400 | - Fixed our check for Archive::Tar in the t/runthrough.t test, which | |
1401 | fixes a common failure on Win32. [Spotted by Chris Williams] | |
1402 | ||
1403 | - Fixed a File::Spec mal-ism in t/destinations.t [Craig A. Berry] | |
1404 | ||
1405 | - Exposed the internal ExtUtils::CBuilder object as part of our API, | |
1406 | via the cbuilder() method. [Zefram] | |
1407 | ||
1408 | - Upgraded to version.pm 0.74 (fixes bug #30004.) | |
1409 | ||
1410 | - Overwrite core (post-5.9.4) Module::Build installs (bug #20528.) | |
1411 | ||
1412 | - Pass quiet() option to ExtUtils::CBuilder object. | |
1413 | ||

1415 | ||
7a827510 RGS |
1416 | - All .pm files in the Module-Build distribution (except for |
1417 | M::B::Version.pm, which is kind of tied to version.pm) now have the | |
1418 | same $VERSION number explicitly specified. | |
1419 | ||
1420 | - When checking prerequisites, the required version of perl is now | |
1421 | checked before we start finding the $VERSION declaration of the | |
1422 | distribution, which results in much more intuitive error messages | |
1423 | e.g. if the author is using 5.6-isms in their declaration but the | |
1424 | user doesn't have 5.6. [Slaven Rezic] | |
1425 | ||
1426 | - Added 'artistic_2' license, corrected 'lgpl' license url (bug #29783) | |
1427 | [David Thomas] | |
1428 | ||
1429 | - VMS find_perl_interpreter() is just $^X (bug #29810) [Craig A. Berry] | |
1430 | ||
1431 | - Some large VMS fixes, mostly having to do with the non-case- | |
1432 | preserving nature of most VMS filesystems, but also correcting for | |
1433 | illegal characters in VMS file specs. [John E. Malmberg and Craig | |
1434 | A. Berry] | |
1435 | ||
1436 | - Fixed the _detildefy() method on VMS. [John E. Malmberg and Craig | |
1437 | A. Berry] | |
1438 | ||
1439 | - We now use a much more reliable method when Data::Dumper-ing saved | |
1440 | state data. [Yves] | |
1441 | ||
1442 | - When a module had 0.000 as its version, a few places in the code | |
1443 | thought the module had no version at all. This is now | |
1444 | fixed. [Andrew "Zefram" Main] | |
1445 | ||
1446 | - When finding the default set of script_files, we now compute them | |
1447 | as relative paths, not absolute. [Spotted by Curtis "Ovid" Poe] | |
1448 | ||
1449 | - Got rid of a call to eliminate_macros, which isn't needed in | |
1450 | Module::Build since there is no external make utility involved. | |
1451 | Override expand_test_dir to make up for the fact that the | |
1452 | home-grown glob() returns absolute, not relative, paths. [Craig | |
1453 | A. Berry] | |
1454 | ||
1455 | - Fixed a catdir() that needed to be catfile() in the .packlist | |
1456 | creation code. [John E. Malmberg] | |
1457 | ||
1458 | - If a *.PL file ended abnormally during the build, processing should | |
1459 | have stopped, but it didn't. Fixed. [Matthew Cast and David | |
1460 | Golden] | |
1461 | ||
613f422f | 1462 | - Module::Build::Compat adds "require 5.XXXXX" to Makefile.PL when |
7a827510 RGS |
1463 | 'perl' is specified as a 'requires' prerequisite [David Golden] |
1464 | ||
613f422f DG |
1465 | - Refactored t/compat.t for modularity and transparency; added |
1466 | labels for all tests; supressed subprocess output to | |
7a827510 RGS |
1467 | STDOUT and STDERR [David Golden] |
1468 | ||
1469 | - Fixed bug in perl_version_to_float when version is already a float | |
1470 | [David Golden] | |
1471 | ||
1472 | - Removed a mention of $build->{config} from the documentation, the | |
1473 | official interface to Config.pm settings is now via the | |
1474 | $build->config() and has been for some time. [Suggested by Michael | |
1475 | Schwern] | |
1476 | ||
1477 | - Tweaked some text in the Cookbook to bring it into the modern age, | |
1478 | and added a recipe for accessing Config.pm settings. [Ibid] | |
1479 | ||
1480 | - Lots of POD link/readability improvements to the Module::Build::API | |
1481 | documentation [Salve J. Nilsen] | |
1482 | ||
1483 | - Added configure_requires as a new type of prereq. [Suggested by Adam | |
1484 | Kennedy] | |
1485 | ||
1486 | - Patch 31156 from bleadperl: some filename dot and extension help | |
1487 | for Module::Build on VMS. [Craig Berry] | |
1488 | ||
1489 | - Reworked the _detildefy() method so it doesn't depend on glob() | |
1490 | anymore. This gets rid of a problem with spaces or other special | |
1491 | shell characters in things like 'prefix' or 'install_path' | |
1492 | entries. [Prodding by Eric Wilhelm] | |
1493 | ||
1494 | - Added midnightbsd to the list of Unix-like OSes we know about | |
1495 | [Rafael Garcia-Suarez] | |
1496 | ||
1497 | 0.2808 - Sat Apr 28 12:59:43 2007 | |
1498 | ||
1499 | - Added is_vmsish(), is_windowsish(), and is_unixish() boolean | |
1500 | convenience functions. Fixes some test failures on platforms where | |
1501 | $^O is set to a value we don't know about (like 'gnu'). | |
1502 | ||
1503 | - Upgraded to version.pm 0.7203. [John Peacock] | |
1504 | ||
1505 | - Support get_action_docs() =head2 style. [ewilhelm] | |
1506 | ||
1507 | - Workaround Test::Pod::Coverage @INC bug. [Eric Wilhelm] | |
1508 | ||
1509 | - Fixed the command-line args --extra_compiler_flags and | |
1510 | --extra_linker_flags so they properly shell-split their arguments. | |
1511 | ||
1512 | 0.2807 - Sat Mar 24 22:19:02 2007 | |
1513 | ||
1514 | - Upgraded to version.pm 0.71. [John Peacock] | |
1515 | ||
1516 | - Removed a couple small constructs in the tests ("use warnings;" and | |
1517 | "qw$foo bar$[1]") that caused test failures under perl 5.005. | |
1518 | ||
1519 | - Added support for an explicit default value of undef in prompt(). | |
1520 | [Eric Wilhelm] | |
1521 | ||
1522 | - Improved our prompt() method, which could sometimes hang before the | |
1523 | user got a chance to see a prompt. [Andreas Koenig] | |
1524 | ||
1525 | - Added a note about --allow_mb_mismatch to the error message that | |
1526 | happens right before someone might want to use that parameter. | |
1527 | ||
1528 | - Added DragonflyBSD to the list of known Unix OSes. | |
1529 | ||
1530 | - get_action_docs() dies on error rather than twiddling $@ | |
1531 | ||
1532 | - Made ModuleInfo's _evaluate_version_line() compatible with 'use | |
1533 | version ...$VERSION' lines. [Eric Wilhelm] | |
1534 | ||
1535 | - Added some verbiage in Module::Build::API that officially blesses | |
1536 | the _build/prereqs file for external consumption. [Suggested by Andreas Koenig] | |
1537 | ||
1538 | - Added test profiles support via the test_types property and "testall" | |
1539 | target. [Eric Wilhelm, Jeff Lavallee] | |
1540 | ||
1541 | - Use syscopy() on OS/2 in copy_if_modified() so we make sure to | |
1542 | overwrite any existing target file. [Ilya Zakharevich] | |
1543 | ||
1544 | - Removed seemingly silly '~~' test in t/tilde.t. | |
1545 | ||
1546 | - In our test-time utility library t/lib/MBTest.pm, we need to know | |
1547 | about a few .exe-like extensions on OS/2. [Ilya Zakharevich] | |
1548 | ||
1549 | - In t/ppm.t, use DynaLoader::mod2fname() (if available) to determine | |
1550 | the correct translation of our test module's name into a DLL | |
1551 | name. [Ilya Zakharevich] | |
1552 | ||
1553 | - Avoid an unlink() error on OS/2 when fixing shebang lines. [Ilya | |
1554 | Zakharevich] | |
1555 | ||
1556 | - When we're protecting the world from the evils of long RedHat | |
1557 | $ENV{PERL5LIB} variables, don't assume $ENV{PERL5LIB} is already | |
1558 | defined. This gets rid of a huge number of warnings for some | |
1559 | people. [Dave Rolsky] | |
1560 | ||
1561 | 0.2806 - Fri Dec 15 22:20:14 2006 | |
1562 | ||
77e96e88 RGS |
1563 | - On some systems (haven't identified the actual problem yet) |
1564 | $ENV{PERL5LIB} can grow to enormous enough sizes that we can't | |
1565 | launch any more subprocesses because the environment table is full. | |
1566 | This is the now-infamous "Couldn't run Build.PL: Argument list too | |
1567 | long" error. Now we detect such situations and trim the directory | |
1568 | list to only include directories that actually exist, listed only | |
1569 | once each. Not the ideal solution, but it should work. | |
1570 | ||
1571 | - Silence a warning in M::B::ModuleInfo that happens when the author | |
1572 | is using the "$VERSION = eval $VERSION" idiom. | |
1573 | ||
1574 | - When running the 'testcover' action, do "cover --delete" if any of | |
1575 | the test files have changed (we already did so if any of the code | |
1576 | under test has changed). [Suggested by Chris Dolan, RT #23584] | |
1577 | ||
1578 | - Fixed a broken link in the documentation about PREFIX. [Spotted by | |
1579 | David Steinbrunner] | |
1580 | ||
1581 | - Changes to do_system() & friends on VMS to get system calls working | |
1582 | much better there. [Craig Berry] | |
1583 | ||
1584 | - Added the "pardist" target which creates a PAR binary distribution | |
1585 | akin to a PPM distribution. [Steffen Mueller] | |
1586 | ||
1587 | - Added the Interix platform as a Unix variant. [Stephen Hartland] | |
1588 | ||
1589 | - Improved the error message we emit when a distribution contains XS | |
1590 | files but the user has no C compiler. [Suggested by Andreas Koenig] | |
1591 | ||
1592 | 0.2805_01 Thu Sep 7 21:57:29 CDT 2006 | |
1593 | ||
1594 | - Because of a weird behavior of YAML::Node, any distribution that | |
1595 | used version.pm objects to define their versions was generating the | |
1596 | wrong syntax for the versions in their META.yml file. They will | |
1597 | now appear as strings like v3.42.1 or similar, including the | |
1598 | leading v. | |
1599 | ||
1600 | - Upgraded to version 0.67 of version.pm. [John Peacock] | |
1601 | ||
1602 | - Added a contrib/ directory with a bash completion function for M::B | |
1603 | actions and switches. [Julian Mehnle] | |
1604 | ||
1605 | - When we eval() the embedded version.pm code we will now die() if | |
1606 | the eval() was unsuccessful, rather than continuing blindly on and | |
1607 | dying mysteriously later. | |
1608 | ||
1609 | - Added a 'retest' action that lets users run the current regression | |
1610 | tests on a previously-installed version of a distribution. | |
1611 | ||
1612 | * Instead of storing an entire dump of the Config.pm hash in the | |
1613 | _build/ directory upon startup, we now just store any overrides the | |
1614 | user or author has specified. Note that if you were doing anything | |
1615 | you weren't supposed to be doing, like poking around in the | |
1616 | internals of $buld->{config}, your code might break, so I've put | |
1617 | the asterisk of incompatibility on this one just to cover my | |
1618 | tuchus. [Idea originally by Randy Sims] | |
1619 | ||
1620 | - Made copying files via copy_if_modified() a little less chatty. | |
1621 | ||
0ec9ad96 SP |
1622 | 0.2805 Sat Jul 29 22:01:24 CDT 2006 |
1623 | ||
1624 | - We now embed a copy of version.pm right in the | |
1625 | Module::Build::Version source code, with John Peacock's blessing, | |
1626 | in case the user has a rough time installing version.pm. This | |
1627 | helps alleviate troubles people were still having with working out | |
1628 | a seemingly circular dependency (even though version.pm now ships | |
1629 | with a standard Makefile.PL too). A version.pm >= 0.661 installed | |
1630 | on the system will take precedence over our bundled one. [John | |
1631 | Peacock] | |
1632 | ||
1633 | - Fix some test warnings (or failures?) related to version.pm | |
1634 | numification. [John Peacock] | |
1635 | ||
1636 | - The top-level 'version' entry in META.yml files we'd generated was | |
1637 | in the wrong format (it was being treated as a version.pm object | |
1638 | rather than a serialized copy) due to a weird YAML::Node issue. | |
1639 | Fixed. | |
1640 | ||
1641 | - Don't 'use base qw(version)' anymore in our M::B::Version wrapper, | |
1642 | just set @ISA directly, because some people have reported that the | |
1643 | 'use base' line is croaking. | |
1644 | ||
1645 | - Added an 'allow_mb_mismatch' parameter to suppress the startup | |
1646 | check that ensures the version of M::B currently running is the | |
1647 | same as the one initially used to run the Build.PL. Use with | |
1648 | caution. | |
1649 | ||
1650 | - Module::Build::ModuleInfo will no longer detect things that look | |
1651 | like $VERSION assignments after an __END__ or __DATA__ token. | |
1652 | ||
1653 | - Updated documentation to mention the new mailing list on perl.org | |
1654 | rather than the old one on sourceforge. | |
1655 | ||
1656 | 0.2804 Sun Jul 16 16:41:25 CDT 2006 | |
1657 | ||
1658 | - Added 'use version;' in Module::Build::Version, because some | |
1659 | versions of base.pm won't automatically load version.pm when we do | |
1660 | 'use base qw/version/;'. [Spotted by Erik Tank] | |

1662 | 0.2803 Sat Jul 15 08:26:34 CDT 2006 |
1663 | ||
1664 | - The META.yml file in the last release was all screwed up, so the | |
1665 | distribution wasn't indexed properly. Fixed in this release. | |
1666 | ||
b3dfda33 SP |
1667 | 0.2802 Fri Jul 14 22:40:34 CDT 2006 |
1668 | ||
1669 | - Added reliance on version.pm, which means we should deal much | |
1670 | better with the wide range of version specifications one finds on | |
1671 | CPAN. This is made possible by recent releases of version.pm that | |
1672 | give the user a pure-perl option, so installing version.pm | |
1673 | shouldn't be too onerous for most users. [John Peacock] | |
1674 | ||
1675 | - We should be accepting the default when we're in unattended mode, | |
1676 | not acting dumb and ignoring both the default and the [empty] | |
1677 | answer from the user. Fixed. [Spotted by Nik Clayton] | |

1680 | ||
1681 | - Module::Build::Compat's emulation of INC is incorrectly prepending | |
1682 | a -I to the value of INC. This is incorrect because there should | |
1683 | already be a -I on the value. I.E. it's "perl Makefile.PL INC=-Ifoo" | |
1684 | not "perl Makefile.PL INC=foo" so Compat should not prefix a -I. | |
1685 | [Michael Schwern] | |
1686 | ||
1687 | - Native batch scripts under Windows should not be converted by | |
1688 | pl2bat. [Spotted by Ron Savage] | |
1689 | ||
1690 | - Tweaked the way we determine whether a file is executable on Unix. | |
1691 | We use this determination to decide whether to make it executable | |
1692 | during installation. [Julian Mehnle] | |
1693 | ||
1694 | - Replaced a vestigial 'next' with 'return' now that the code is in a | |
1695 | subroutine (htmlify_pods()), not a loop. [Ron Savage] | |
1696 | ||
1697 | - Fixed a guaranteed failure in t/signature.t when TEST_SIGNATURE was | |
1698 | set. [Eric R. Meyers] | |
1699 | ||
1700 | - Fixed a test failure that occurred when testing or installing in | |
1701 | unattended mode - the code to test whether unattended mode and | |
1702 | attended mode are working properly was assuming that we started out | |
1703 | in attended mode. [Steve Peters] | |
1704 | ||
1705 | - Improved our stand-in YAML generator that we use to generate | |
1706 | META.yaml when authors don't have a copy of YAML.pm installed on | |
1707 | their machine. It was unable to handle things like embedded | |
1708 | newlines in the data, now it has a much more extensive escaping | |
1709 | mechanism. [Stephen Adkins] | |
1710 | ||
1711 | - Revised the docs for --prefix and PREFIX. [Michael Schwern] | |

1714 | ||
1715 | - When y_n() or prompt() are called without a default value and the | |
1716 | build seems to be unattended (e.g. in automatic CPAN testing), we | |
1717 | now die() with an error message rather than silently returning | |
1718 | undef for prompt(), or looping indefinitely for y_n(). | |
1719 | ||
1720 | - When searching for '.modulebuildrc', return the first HOME-like | |
1721 | directory that actually contains the file instead of the first | |
1722 | existing directory. Document the search locations and the order | |
1723 | searched. [Spotted by David Golden] | |
1724 | ||
1725 | - Split the API documentation out of Module::Build::Authoring into | |
1726 | its own document: Module::Build::API. | |
1727 | ||
1728 | - We should not emit a warning if a Module::Build subclass is | |
1729 | required in a Makefile.PL that is not bundled in the current | |
1730 | distribution; it may be installed on the user's system. [Spotted by | |
1731 | Tyler MacDonald] | |
1732 | ||
1733 | - copy_if_modified() now preserves the executable bit of the source | |
1734 | file. [Spotted by Julian Mehnle] | |
1735 | ||
1736 | - Fixed compatibility of our screen-scraping the Test::Harness output | |
1737 | so we can recognize the most recent Test::Harness version. [Steve | |
1738 | Hay] | |
1739 | ||
1740 | - Backing out a requirement added in 0.27_06 on the method y_n() | |
1741 | to always include a default. This behavior would cause existing | |
1742 | build scripts to start failing. We now fail with a missing default | |
1743 | only when $ENV{PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT} is set because there is no | |
1744 | reasonable default. | |
1745 | ||
1746 | - Make install_types() method smarter with respect to custom install | |
1747 | types. | |
1748 | ||
1749 | - Add documentation for the install_base_relpaths() and | |
1750 | prefix_relpaths() methods. Improved their usage for a public API, | |
1751 | and added tests. | |
1752 | ||

a314697d RS |
1754 | |
1755 | - Added the create_packlist property, default true, which controls | |
1756 | whether packlist files will be written during installation. This | |
1757 | was already part of Module::Build 0.2609, but for some reason we've | |
1758 | forgotten it in the 0.27_xx series. [Spotted by Steve Kirkup] | |
1759 | ||
1760 | - Document the versions of Module::Build where each feature, action, | |
1761 | constructor argument, and method was first publicly documented. | |
1762 | ||
1763 | - More fixes for find_perl_interpreter() to work with BSD flavored | |
1764 | UNIX: Ensure we always return absolute paths; throw an exception | |
1765 | upon failure to find correct interperter; document everything. | |
1766 | ||
1767 | - We now include our own YAML.pm work-alike that we can use when the | |
1768 | real YAML isn't installed. We might soon even start using it when | |
1769 | YAML is installed, because the YAML API and dependency chain have | |
1770 | been changing in unfavorable ways lately. [Stephen Adkins] | |
1771 | ||
1772 | - Fixed some shell-argument-quoting issues on VMS. In the process, | |
1773 | we have added some support for avoiding tripping over | |
1774 | shell-argument-quoting issues on other platforms too. [Initial | |
1775 | patch by Craig A. Berry] | |

1777 | 0.27_09 Sat Mar 11 22:48:54 EST 2006 |
1778 | ||
1779 | - Fixed find_perl_interpreter() so we can find the perl executable | |
1780 | when running from uninstalled perl even when $^X contains a | |
1781 | relative path. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] | |
1782 | ||
1783 | - Fixed warning message where we were printing the wrong field names. | |
1784 | [Chris Dolan] | |
1785 | ||
1786 | - Added a 'testpodcoverage' action that runs a POD coverage check for | |
1787 | all modules in the distribution. [Yanick Champoux] | |
1788 | ||
1789 | - Added a Cookbook example of subclassing to modify an action. [Dylan | |
1790 | Martin and David Golden] | |
1791 | ||
1792 | - When building HTML documentation, we were opening the POD file and | |
1793 | not checking whether the open succeeded, which of course caused | |
1794 | problems down the line if it failed. Now we do "or die(...)" like | |
1795 | everywhere else. [Spotted by Joerg Braun] | |

1797 | 0.27_08 Fri Mar 3 21:22:41 CST 2006 |
1798 | ||
1799 | - Due to shell quoting issues and differences in syntax between | |
1800 | various flavors of Windows, the code for the 'pl2bat' utility | |
1801 | distributed with Perl has been incorporated into M::B::P::Windows. | |
1802 | [Thanks to Dr Bean and Ron Savage for help testing and isolating | |
1803 | the problem.] | |
1804 | ||
1805 | - Modify add_build_element() so that it only adds elements if they | |
1806 | don't already exist. [David Wheeler] | |
1807 | ||
1808 | - Fixed a bug in the 'pass-through' Makefile.PL in which we would die | |
1809 | if CPAN::Shell->install returned false, but apparently this return | |
1810 | value is unreliable. Now we only die if the module is actually | |
1811 | unavailable after installation. | |
1812 | ||
1813 | - Fixed testing problems on VMS related to non-case-preserving | |
1814 | filesystems. We now bundle Tie::CPHash in the distribution (just | |
1815 | for testing purposes, it doesn't get installed) to help with | |
1816 | this. [Craig Berry and Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] | |
1817 | ||
1818 | - We incorrectly documented the 'dynamic_config' flag in the META.yml | |
1819 | file as having a default value of false, but according to the | |
1820 | META.yml spec (which, for heaven's sake, we wrote) its default | |
1821 | value is true. Fixed. [Spotted by Adam Kennedy] | |
1822 | ||
1823 | - The have_c_compiler() method was dying if the ExtUtils::CBuilder | |
1824 | module wasn't around, which is obviously an unhelpful thing to do. | |
1825 | Now it just returns false. [Spotted by John Peacock] | |
1826 | ||
1827 | - Fix detection of $VERSION expressions that are not | |
1828 | assignments. [Spotted by Chris Dolan] | |
1829 | ||
1830 | - Obfuscate one of our constructs that uses a $VERSION variable, | |
1831 | because it was getting picked up by ExtUtils::MakeMaker's | |
1832 | version-finder. [Spotted by Randal Schwartz] | |
1833 | ||
1834 | - The config_data script for querying and/or setting a module's | |
1835 | config data was forgetting to call write() after setting config | |
1836 | values (though setting feature values was working fine). | |
1837 | Fixed. [Brian Duggan] | |
1838 | ||
1839 | - On Windows, remove the pl2bat generated 'Build.bat' script without | |
1840 | the annoying "The batch file cannot be found." error. [Solution | |
1841 | provided by RazTK and foxidrive on newsgroup alt.msdos.batch] | |
1842 | ||
1843 | - Our version comparisons should now work correctly with modules that | |
1844 | use version.pm to delcare their versions (e.g. "our $VERSION = | |
1845 | version->new('1.0.0')"). [John Peacock and Ron Savage] | |
1846 | ||
1847 | - We now create a Build.bat script on versions of Windows where it | |
1848 | makes sense. [Yves] | |
1849 | ||
1850 | - Fixed the verbiage around choosing the correct make-alike on | |
1851 | different platforms to suggest using 'perl -V:make'. [Suggested by | |
1852 | anonymous user] | |
1853 | ||
1854 | 0.27_07 Wed Feb 1 20:07:45 CST 2006 | |
1855 | ||
1856 | - The notes() method now returns the new value when called with two | |
1857 | arguments, just like when it's called with one argument. [Tyler | |
1858 | MacDonald] | |
1859 | ||
1860 | - The notes() method now distinguishes among the values undef, 0, and | |
1861 | the empty string, where previously it didn't. [Tyler MacDonald] | |
1862 | ||
1863 | - We now unshift(@INC) rather than push(@INC) for the directory where | |
1864 | a build subclass lives, so that we're sure to pick up the right | |
1865 | version and not some already-installed version. [perlmonkey] | |
1866 | ||
1867 | - The SIGNATURE file for version 0.27_06 (and I'm sure for lots of | |
1868 | versions before that too!) was messed up, since we were modifying | |
1869 | some files after signing. This has been band-aided for the time | |
1870 | being by signing twice. [Reported by Chris Dolan] | |
1871 | ||
1872 | 0.27_06 Mon Jan 23 21:44:54 CST 2006 | |
1873 | ||
1874 | - Fixed an undefined-variable warning when building the META.yml file | |
1875 | and the author hasn't used the 'module_name' mechanism. [Chris Dolan] | |
1876 | ||
1877 | - We should now work with recent (> 0.49) versions of YAML.pm when | |
1878 | creating the META.yml file. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] | |
1879 | ||
1880 | - The y_n() method now requires the default parameter, and the | |
1881 | prompt() and y_n() methods have been improved with respect to | |
1882 | how they behave/detect when there is no user to ask. We're now | |
1883 | more consistent with MakeMaker, including respecting the | |
1884 | PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT environment variable. [Tyler MacDonald and | |
1885 | Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] | |
1886 | ||
1887 | - When building a README file using Pod::Text, work around a bug in | |
1888 | Pod::Text 3.01, which expects Pod::Simple::parse_file to take input | |
1889 | and output filehandles when it actually only takes an input | |
1890 | filehandle. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] | |
1891 | ||
1892 | 0.27_05 Thu Jan 12 17:39:21 CST 2006 | |
1893 | ||
1894 | - In t/common.pl, we were attempting to let the user's installed | |
1895 | Test::More take precedence over ours, but getting thwarted by all | |
1896 | the test scripts' loading Test::More beforehand. Fixed. [Spotted | |
1897 | by Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] | |
1898 | ||
1899 | - In various test scripts, we were outputting some strings that | |
1900 | weren't strictly conformant with Test::Harness's expected input, | |
1901 | though it didn't actually cause problems. Now we're more | |
1902 | conformant, though not yet strict. [Spotted by Yitzchak | |
1903 | Scott-Thoennes] | |
1904 | ||
1905 | 0.27_04 Fri Dec 23 10:43:34 CST 2005 | |
1906 | ||
1907 | - Removed experimental feature that extended the prerequisite system | |
1908 | to apply ('requires', 'recommends', and 'conflicts') prereqs to all | |
1909 | actions. Most of the internal extensiblity has been retained so | |
1910 | that prereq types can easily be added, more selectively. | |
1911 | ||
1912 | - Added a 'prereq_report' action that shows the user a well-formatted | |
1913 | list of all prerequisites, the versions required, and the versions | |
1914 | actually installed. [David Wheeler] | |
1915 | ||
1916 | - Clarified the directory name that's created during the 'distdir' | |
1917 | action. [Suggested by Tyler MacDonald] | |
1918 | ||
1919 | - Fixed a bug when creating the META.yml file without the help of | |
1920 | YAML.pm - some common strings weren't quoted & escaped properly. | |
1921 | Now only some uncommon ones are. [Spotted by Joshua ben Jore] | |
1922 | ||
1923 | - Fixed a bug in which an "UNINST=1" argument specified to a | |
1924 | passthrough Makefile's "make install" wasn't actually seen by | |
1925 | Module::Build. | |
1926 | ||
1927 | - Rather than dying when the Build script is run from the wrong | |
1928 | directory, it now simply chdir()s into the right directory and | |
1929 | keeps going. [Suggested by Dominique Quatravaux] | |
1930 | ||
1931 | - Added an "Examples on CPAN" section to the cookbook, with an | |
1932 | initial entry pointing to John Peacock's SVN-Notify-Mirror | |
1933 | distribution. | |
1934 | ||
1935 | - Add an invoked_action() method to return the name of the original | |
1936 | action invoked by the user. | |
1937 | ||
1938 | - Add 'meta-spec' field to the generated META.yml file, including the | |
1939 | version of the specification followed by the current Module::Build | |
1940 | and the url where the specification can be found. | |
1941 | ||
1942 | - Introduced two actions, 'html' & 'manpages', that generate | |
1943 | documentation for POD when the respective feature is enabled. The | |
1944 | actions will generate the documents even if there is no set place | |
1945 | to install to. However, if the actions are invoked as a dependency | |
1946 | of another action (e.g. build), the documentation will only be | |
1947 | built when there is a default or user-specified place to install to. | |
1948 | ||
1949 | - Added support for environment variable, 'MODULEBUILDRC', which can | |
1950 | be used to specify the full path to an option file to use instead | |
1951 | of the default location of ~/.modulebuildrc. A special undocumented | |
1952 | setting of 'NONE' tells Module::Build not to load any user settings, | |
1953 | so tests can be run without tainting from user options. | |
1954 | ||
1955 | - Documented and improved preliminary support for more Getopt::Long | |
1956 | style options are supported, including boolean options (--verbose, | |
1957 | --no-verbose), and use of hyphens in option names in addition to | |
1958 | underscores. | |
1959 | ||
1960 | - The option to disable/enable reading of the ~/.modulebuildrc file | |
1961 | is changed from 'skip_rcfile' to 'use_rcfile' | |
1962 | ||
1963 | - Allow the 'distmeta' action to continue when 'MANIFEST' is missing, | |
1964 | omitting the generation of the 'provieds' field. [Steven Schubiger] | |
1965 | ||
1966 | - Fixed some failing regex from generated MANIFEST.SKIP file. | |
1967 | ||
1968 | - Fixed an edge case in $VERSION parsing where we thought a package() | |
1969 | declaration was happening but it wasn't. [David Golden] | |
1970 | ||
1971 | - Added docs for the install_destination() and install_types() methods. | |
1972 | ||
1973 | 0.27_03 (Beta for 0.28) Mon Oct 10 11:19:23 EDT 2005 | |
1974 | ||
1975 | - We now use ExtUtils::CBuilder to do all compiling of C code (for | |
1976 | example, when compiling XS modules). (This change actually | |
1977 | occurred in 0.27_01, but it was mistakenly omitted from the Changes | |
1978 | file.) | |
1979 | ||
1980 | - Fixed an issue on Win32 (and other case-tolerant | |
1981 | non-case-preserving systems, possibly like VMS?) in which the | |
1982 | current working directory would sometimes be reported with | |
1983 | different case, fooling us into thinking that we were in the wrong | |
1984 | directory. [David Golden] | |
1985 | ||
1986 | - The extra_compiler_flags setting was not actually being passed | |
1987 | along to ExtUtils::CBuilder so it could pass it along to the | |
1988 | compiler. Now it is. | |
1989 | ||
1990 | - The synonyms 'scripts' and 'prereq' for 'script_files' and | |
1991 | 'requires' were broken in a previous version (0.27_01, probably), | |
1992 | but now they're fixed. [David Golden] | |
613f422f | 1993 | |
bb4e9162 YST |
1994 | - Previously, we assumed that any custom subclass of Module::Build |
1995 | was located in _build/lib/. This is only true if the author used | |
1996 | the subclass() method, though. We now use %INC to find where the | |
1997 | custom subclass really is, so that we can "use lib" it. We also | |
1998 | issue a warning if it seems to be outside the build directory. | |
1999 | [Spotted by Peter Tandler] | |
2000 | ||
2001 | - Added a URL for each license type that we know about, which will | |
2002 | appear as resources=>license: in the generated META.yml file. | |
2003 | ||
2004 | - If the user passes a no_index parameter to our constructor, we now | |
2005 | pass that through when building the META.yml file. [Richard | |
2006 | Soderberg, RT #9603] | |
2007 | ||
2008 | - A few more status messages can now be suppressed by using 'quiet' | |
2009 | mode. [Dave Rolsky] | |
2010 | ||
2011 | - Added some more entries to the default MANIFEST.SKIP file. [Chris | |
2012 | Dolan] | |
2013 | ||
2014 | - Our POD parser will now accept "AUTHORS" as well as "AUTHOR" when | |
2015 | looking for the author list in a module. [David Wheeler] | |
2016 | ||
2017 | - When looking for the POD to auto-generate a README file, or for the | |
2018 | AUTHOR or ABSTRACT for the distribution, we now also look for a | |
2019 | *.pod with the same name as the *.pm file specified by | |
2020 | 'version_from'. [David Golden] | |
2021 | ||
2022 | - The recommended dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS has been moved into | |
2023 | the "C_support" auto_feature. | |
2024 | ||
2025 | - When building XS files, we now pass the -DVERSION and -DXS_VERSION | |
2026 | flags to the compiler. [Spotted by Jerry Hedden] | |
2027 | ||
2028 | - If a distribution has XS files and Module::Build has not been | |
2029 | configured with the "C_support" feature, we now issue a | |
2030 | warning. [Suggested by Jerry Hedden] | |
2031 | ||
2032 | - Added a dir_contains() method. | |
2033 | ||
2034 | - Some versions of MakeMaker, CPANPLUS, and/or PAUSE thought that a | |
2035 | certain line of our code was declaring a $VERSION when we didn't | |
2036 | intend to. The line has been obscurified so they won't think that | |
2037 | anymore. [Jos Boumans, RT #14226] | |
2038 | ||
2039 | - Added the Apache, MIT, and Mozilla licenses to the list of licenses | |
2040 | that this module knows about. [Bob Ippolito] | |
2041 | ||
2042 | - Fixed a pretty significant typo in the documentation for | |
2043 | auto_features. [Spotted by Jonas B. Nielsen] | |
2044 | ||
2045 | - In order to aid people who want to do customization of the META.yml | |
2046 | file, we've added a "metafile" property that can then be easily | |
2047 | overridden in subclasses, changed do_create_meta_yml() to | |
2048 | do_create_metafile(), and split out the code that actually | |
2049 | generates the YAML into a new method, write_metafile(). [David | |
2050 | Wheeler] | |
2051 | ||
2052 | - Fixed a couple of non-helpful behaviors with extra_compiler_flags | |
2053 | and extra_linker_flags. These will automatically be run through | |
2054 | split_like_shell() when given to new() as strings. | |
2055 | ||
2056 | - When the user doesn't have ExtUtils::ParseXS installed and we use | |
2057 | the old 'xsubpp', the displayed command line for creating the .c | |
2058 | file from the .xs file was missing its newline. Now it's got it. | |
2059 | ||
2060 | 0.27_02 (Beta for 0.28) Fri Jul 15 07:34:58 CDT 2005 | |
2061 | ||
2062 | - Provided initial support for the --prefix installation parameter, | |
2063 | which acts like MakeMaker's PREFIX. It is still highly recommended | |
2064 | NOT to use it when you could reasonably use --install_base or | |
2065 | --install_path or --install_dest, but that's just because the way | |
2066 | --prefix is designed is weird and unpredictable. Ultimately the | |
2067 | choice rests with the installing user. [Patches by Michael Schwern | |
2068 | and Rob Kinyon] | |
2069 | ||
2070 | - Fixed a bug in subclass() which prevented people from using it to | |
2071 | subclass subclasses of Module::Build. [Chris Dolan] | |
2072 | ||
2073 | - Added a 'pure_install' action, which for the time being is | |
2074 | identical to the 'install' action. [Jos Boumans] | |
2075 | ||
2076 | - Fixed a POD error in an L<http://...> tag. [Offer Kaye] | |
2077 | ||
2078 | - Note several options for automatically creating a new module dev | |
2079 | tree. [Suggested by Eric Wilhelm] | |
2080 | ||
2081 | - Removed some hard-coded references to File::Spec::Unix in the | |
2082 | creation of HTML docs, which should help that code work in more | |
2083 | places, and help people not to panic when they look at it. [Spotted | |
2084 | by Yves] | |
2085 | ||
2086 | - We now use Pod::Readme by default (instead of Pod::Text) to | |
2087 | generate the README file when the 'create_readme' option is used. | |
2088 | If Pod::Readme is not installed, we will still fall back to using | |
2089 | Pod::Text. [Robert Rothenberg] | |
2090 | ||
2091 | - The values of the "prefix", "install_base", "install_path", and | |
2092 | "install_dest" parameters can now begin with "~" or "~user", and | |
2093 | we'll de-tilde-ify them by using glob(). | |
2094 | ||
2095 | - The (optional) auto-creation of the README and Makefile.PL files | |
2096 | have been moved from the 'distdir' action to the 'distmeta' | |
2097 | action. [David Golden] | |
2098 | ||
2099 | - When looking for a .modulebuildrc file, we now use a fancier method | |
2100 | of trying to find the home directory, because $ENV{HOME} isn't a | |
2101 | very cross-platform variable. [Robert Rothenberg] | |
2102 | ||
2103 | - We now memoize the output of the internal _default_INC() method, | |
2104 | since it uses backticks and might be kind of slow. | |
2105 | ||
2106 | - When processing XS files, we now look for a typemap in lib/ as well | |
2107 | as using the system's default typemap. [John Peacock] | |
2108 | ||
2109 | - The DESTDIR, PREFIX, and INSTALL_BASE arguments to "make install" | |
2110 | are now supported for pass-through Makefiles (they've been | |
2111 | supported for quite a while as arguments to "perl | |
2112 | Makefile.PL"). [Requested by Guillaume Rousse] | |
2113 | ||
2114 | - Test::Harness has changed its output format in recent versions, | |
2115 | which threw off one of our tests. We now allow for this different | |
2116 | format. [Reported by Scott Godin] | |
2117 | ||
2118 | - Fixed an issue that prevented Module::Build from upgrading itself | |
2119 | using its own API (which is how CPANPLUS uses it). There are still | |
2120 | some issues with this solution, however. See ticket #13169 in | |
2121 | rt.cpan.org. [Reported by Jos Boumans] | |
2122 | ||
2123 | - Fixed a fatal error that occurred when a distribution's author | |
2124 | could not be determined from its POD nor from the call to | |
2125 | Module::Build->new() in its Build.PL. See ticket #12318 in | |
2126 | rt.cpan.org. [Reported by Jos Boumans] | |
2127 | ||
2128 | - Apparently on Windows and cygwin it's not possible to use the "-pi" | |
2129 | switch to perl without a backup extension, so now we use ".bak" and | |
2130 | remove the backup file when we're done. Thus the "dist" action for | |
2131 | Module::Build itself can now be run on those platforms. [Yitzchak | |
2132 | Scott-Thoennes] | |
2133 | ||
2134 | - Improved the handling of auto_features in the config_data access | |
2135 | script. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] | |
2136 | ||
2137 | 0.27_01 (Beta for 0.28) Fri Apr 15 21:12:57 CDT 2005 | |
2138 | ||
2139 | Backward-incompatible (but better) changes: | |
2140 | ||
2141 | * When using the 'install_base' option to choose a directory for | |
2142 | installing everything, perl modules now go into lib/perl5/ instead | |
2143 | of just lib/. It seems this is more consistent with people's | |
2144 | expectations, and the way I had it before was a bit peculiar to the | |
2145 | way I like things in my own home directory. [Michael Schwern] | |
2146 | ||
2147 | * When the user is using the 'install_base' option, scripts will now | |
2148 | be installed by default in $install_base/bin/ rather than | |
2149 | $install_base/script/ . [Jan Hudec and Michael Schwern] | |
2150 | ||
2151 | Major changes: | |
2152 | ||
2153 | - The auto_features mechanism will now re-evaluate dependencies every | |
2154 | time feature() is called for an auto-feature, rather than freezing | |
2155 | the success/failure value during 'perl Build.PL' and using that | |
2156 | value for all eternity (or module update, whichever comes first). | |
2157 | This applies to both $build->feature() and | |
2158 | FooModule::ConfigData->feature() calls. [Requested by many] | |
2159 | ||
2160 | - Added the meta_add and meta_merge mechanisms, which let the module | |
2161 | author add/merge arbitrary entries into the META.yml file. | |
2162 | ||
2163 | - Now reads per-action default options from '$ENV{HOME}/.modulebuildrc' | |
2164 | if it exists. Command line options override anything set in the rc file. | |
2165 | ||
2166 | - We now use ExtUtils::CBuilder to do all compiling of C code (for | |
2167 | example, when compiling XS modules). | |
2168 | ||
2169 | - The creation of Unix man pages is no longer a strict necessity - it | |
2170 | has now been turned into an 'auto-feature' contingent on the | |
2171 | presence of Pod::Man and a location specified for man pages to go. | |
2172 | ||
2173 | - A user-specified 'install_path' setting will now take precedence | |
2174 | over an 'install_base' setting. This allows the user to use | |
2175 | 'install_base' to set the base for all elements in one go, and then | |
2176 | use 'install_path' to override specific paths or add paths for | |
2177 | additional kinds of targets. | |
2178 | ||
2179 | - Split the main documentation from 'Module/Build.pm' into two | |
2180 | sections. The user level documentation and overview remains in | |
2181 | 'Module/Build.pm', while a new document, | |
2182 | 'Module/Build/Authoring.pod', has been created for module authors. | |
2183 | ||
2184 | Minor changes: | |
2185 | ||
2186 | - new_from_context() was losing its arguments in some cases (and not | |
2187 | because of inadequate training in forensic debate) - we now pass its | |
2188 | arguments directly to the Build.PL script rather than merging them | |
2189 | in afterwards. | |
2190 | ||
2191 | - Let resume() return an object blessed into the appropriate class | |
2192 | if the user has provided a subclass, as specified by the | |
2193 | 'build_class' property. This allows current() and new_from_context() | |
2194 | to behave more like factory methods returning objects of the correct | |
2195 | class based on context. [Ray Zimmerman] | |
2196 | ||
2197 | - Refactored methods relating to parsing perl module files for | |
2198 | package, version, and pod data into a new class: | |
2199 | Module::Build::ModuleInfo. It should not be considered part of | |
2200 | Module::Build's API, because we may split it out entirely as a | |
2201 | separate CPAN module that we depend on. | |
2202 | ||
2203 | - Added new method Module::Build::prepare_metadata() for authors to | |
2204 | override in order to add custom fields to META.yml. | |
2205 | ||
2206 | - We now use Test::More for our regression tests. If the user | |
2207 | doesn't have it installed, we include a copy in t/lib/ that we can | |
2208 | use during testing. | |
2209 | ||
2210 | - When copying files in the 'distdir' action, set permissions to match | |
2211 | the original files. [Julian Mehnle] | |
2212 | ||
2213 | - When adding files like META.yml to the MANIFEST, we now tell the | |
2214 | user we're doing so by printing one of the "Added to MANIFEST: ..." | |
2215 | lines. [Ron Savage] | |
2216 | ||
2217 | - Added a runtime_params() method, which lets a module author see | |
2218 | which parameters were overridden by the user on the command line | |
2219 | (or in whatever paradigm the user originally invoked Module::Build | |
2220 | from). [David Wheeler] | |
2221 | ||
2222 | - Added the current_action() method, which, surprisingly, returns the | |
2223 | name of the currently running action. [David Wheeler] | |
2224 | ||
2225 | - Added docs for run_perl_script(). | |
2226 | ||
2227 | - Added some stuff to the docs about why PREFIX is unsupported, and | |
2228 | what to use instead. [Steve Purkis] | |
2229 | ||
2230 | - The simple get/set accessor methods for all the 'parameters' like | |
2231 | verbose(), license(), etc. now have auto-generated documentation in | |
2232 | Module/Build.pm. | |
2233 | ||
2234 | - Created a Cookbook entry for 'Adding new elements to the install | |
2235 | process' | |
2236 | ||
2237 | - We now add META.yml to the MANIFEST when META.yml is created, not | |
2238 | when MANIFEST is created. [Spotted by Ron Savage] | |
2239 | ||
2240 | - Added some additional patterns to the suggested MANIFEST.SKIP | |
2241 | contents, and changed the docs so that we encourage the user to use | |
2242 | the MANIFEST.SKIP. [Ron Savage] | |
2243 | ||
2244 | - Eliminated a redundant recipe from the Cookbook, now that there are | |
2245 | some more extensive recipes on how to add stuff to the | |
2246 | build/install sequences. | |
2247 | ||
2248 | - Eliminated an undefined-variable warning when testing under perl 5.005 | |
2249 | ||
2250 | - When building HTML documentation, 'html_backlink' and 'html_css' | |
2251 | properties are now first-class properties, so they can be set from | |
2252 | the command line. [Suggested by Sagar R. Shah] | |
2253 | ||
2254 | - Have script_files default to everything in bin. I believe this is | |
2255 | the least surprising behavior. [Suggested by Michael Schwern] | |
2256 | ||
2257 | - If script_files is given a directory, consider each file in that | |
2258 | directory tree as a script to be installed. This avoids having to | |
2259 | remember to add to the script_files list every time you add a | |
2260 | program. [Suggested by Michael Schwern] | |
2261 | ||
2262 | - We now only load Pod::Man when we actually need to build man pages. | |
2263 | ||
2264 | - We now make Test::Harness use our carefully-selected path to a perl | |
2265 | executable regardless of Test::Harness's version. Previously we | |
2266 | let it figure stuff out for itself if it was a reasonably modern | |
2267 | version, but it's safer to make sure we're using the same perl | |
2268 | everywhere. | |
2269 | ||
2270 | 0.2610 Fri Apr 15 08:25:01 CDT 2005 | |
2271 | ||
2272 | - new_from_context() was losing its arguments in some cases (and not | |
2273 | because of inadequate training in debate) - we now pass its | |
2274 | arguments directly to the Build.PL script rather than merging them | |
2275 | in afterwards. [Ray Zimmerman] | |
2276 | ||
2277 | - Fixed a bug in which config_data and feature data were being | |
2278 | forgotten and no ConfigData.pm module would get written. [Ray | |
2279 | Zimmerman] | |
2280 | ||
2281 | - Added a recipe to the cookbook showing how to run a single test | |
2282 | file from the command line. [William McKee] | |
2283 | ||
2284 | - For command-line arguments, we now accept the syntax "--foo=bar" in | |
2285 | addition to "--foo bar" and "foo=bar". This seems to fit well with | |
2286 | what GNU getopt and Getopt::Long do, and with people's | |
2287 | expectations. [Adam Spiers] | |
2288 | ||
2289 | 0.2609 Wed Mar 16 22:18:35 CST 2005 | |
2290 | ||
2291 | - The html docs that were created during the first invokation of | |
2292 | './Build' were being found and treated as pod that needed to be | |
2293 | converted to html during subsequent invokations. We now are more | |
2294 | specific about the directories we scan for pod that needs to be | |
2295 | converted, effectively avoiding blib/html. [Ray Zimmerman] | |
2296 | ||
2297 | - If Pod::Man is not available, we now skip building man pages | |
2298 | (rather than dying) and tell the user why. | |
2299 | ||
2300 | - We now write a .packlist file upon installation, in the same place | |
2301 | that ExtUtils::MakeMaker does. [Johnny Lam] | |
2302 | ||
2303 | - On some Unix platforms (BSD derivatives, mostly) perl's $^X | |
2304 | variable isn't set to the full path of the perl executable, just | |
2305 | 'perl', when the 'Build' script is run as './Build' and not 'perl | |
2306 | ./Build'. This can lead to some other modules (maybe | |
2307 | Test::Harness, maybe IO::File, I dunno...) getting very confused | |
2308 | about where they are, and they try to load stuff from the wrong | |
2309 | perl lib, and big trouble ensues. To fix this, we now set $^X to | |
2310 | the value of Module::Build->find_perl_interpreter(). | |
2311 | ||
2312 | - The 'distcheck' action will now die() if it finds an error in the | |
2313 | MANIFEST, rather than just printing on STDOUT. [David Golden] | |
2314 | ||
2315 | - When the README and/or Makefile.PL are autogenerated using | |
2316 | create_readme or create_makefile_pl, we now automatically make sure | |
2317 | they're also listed in the MANIFEST file. [Suggested by Michael | |
2318 | Schwern] | |
2319 | ||
2320 | - Got rid of the t/MANIFEST file - it's superfluous, and it had | |
2321 | zero-length, which some versions of Tar don't like. [William | |
2322 | Underwood] | |
2323 | ||
2324 | - Added a mention in the documentation that each property that new() | |
2325 | accepts also has a corresponding get/set accessor. (In the version | |
2326 | 0.27_0x series each accessor method is mentioned explicitly in the | |
2327 | docs.) [Omission spotted by Ian Langworth] | |
2328 | ||
2329 | 0.2608 Wed Jan 26 19:46:09 CST 2005 | |
2330 | ||
2331 | - Add workaround for test files because Devel::Cover causes | |
2332 | require to fail when the argument to require is an expression | |
2333 | involving File::Spec. We now assign the result of the File::Spec | |
2334 | call to a variable and then call require with that variable. | |
2335 | ||
2336 | - Tilde-expansion is now performed on arguments passed to a | |
2337 | compatibility-Makefile.PL [Spotted by Sam Vilain] | |
2338 | ||
2339 | - We now run the 'gzip' and 'tar' values through split_like_shell() | |
2340 | when running the 'dist' action, so that e.g. the 'gzip' value can | |
2341 | be set to something like "gzip -f --best" and it'll work | |
2342 | correctly. [Spotted by Chris Dolan] | |
2343 | ||
2344 | - Work around some bad mojo between Fedora Core [with its very long | |
2345 | @INC] and old versions of Test::Harness [with its propensity to | |
2346 | compound the number of @INC entries] that produced an "argument | |
2347 | list too long" error during testing. [assisted by Ville Skytta, | |
2348 | David Golden, & Randy Sims] | |
2349 | ||
2350 | - Killed an infinite loop that would happen in y_n() in interactive | |
2351 | mode if the author provided no default value. [Max Maischein] | |
2352 | ||
2353 | 0.2607 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Sat Dec 18 14:14:09 CST 2004 | |
2354 | ||
2355 | - Instead of freezing @INC in the 'Build' script to the value it had | |
2356 | when Build.PL was run, we now just add those additional values that | |
2357 | aren't part of the default compiled-in @INC. [Michael Schwern] | |
2358 | ||
2359 | - The run_perl_script() method will now propagate any extra entries | |
2360 | in @INC (such as those added by "use lib" or the -I command-line | |
2361 | switch) to the subprocess. This helps situations in which you want | |
2362 | to tell the subprocess where to find a certain module, for | |
2363 | instance. [Michael Schwern] | |
2364 | ||
2365 | 0.2606 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Tue Dec 7 22:33:11 CST 2004 | |
2366 | ||
2367 | - Fixed a linking bug on Win32, in which compiled C code object files | |
2368 | never got linked in with the modules being built. [Dominic | |
2369 | Mitchell] | |
2370 | ||
2371 | - Fixed a bug in the new_from_context() method in which any arguments | |
2372 | passed made us die. [Spotted by Jos Boumans] | |
2373 | ||
2374 | 0.2605 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Tue Nov 30 07:16:13 CST 2004 | |
2375 | ||
2376 | - Fixed a bug in which zero-length arguments for hash-valued | |
2377 | parameters (e.g. " --config foo= ") weren't being allowed. | |
2378 | ||
2379 | - The tests now play better with environments in which version.pm is | |
2380 | pre-loaded, like in bleadperl. [John Peacock & Michael Schwern] | |
2381 | ||
2382 | - Fixed a syntax error in one of the tests under perl 5.005. | |
2383 | ||
2384 | 0.2604 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Wed Nov 17 14:32:42 CST 2004 | |
2385 | ||
2386 | - Fixed a split_like_shell() bug introduced in 0.2603 for Windows, in | |
2387 | which an array reference passed as an argument was returned as an | |
2388 | array reference, rather than as a list. [Spotted by Steve Hay] | |
2389 | ||
2390 | - module_name() will now return '' instead of undef when module_name | |
2391 | is not set. This eliminates a couple uninitialized-value | |
2392 | warnings. [Suggested by Michael Schwern] | |
2393 | ||
2394 | - The expand_test_dir() method will now skip dotfiles (like ._foo.t, | |
2395 | which sometimes gets automatically created on Mac systems) when | |
2396 | 'recursive_test_files' is in effect. [Tom Insam] | |
2397 | ||
2398 | 0.2603 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Mon Nov 15 10:28:00 CST 2004 | |
2399 | ||
2400 | - Added documentation for the new_from_context() method. | |
2401 | ||
2402 | - Completely rewrote the split_like_shell() method for the Windows | |
2403 | platform so it works like the command.com shell. [Randy Sims] | |
2404 | ||
2405 | 0.2602 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Thu Nov 4 11:19:29 CST 2004 | |
2406 | ||
2407 | - The two bug fixes in 0.2601 gnashed against each other incorrectly, | |
2408 | resulting in a Win32 bug in split_like_shell(). Fixed. [Spotted | |
2409 | by Steve Hay & Randy Sims] | |
2410 | ||
2411 | - Removed a couple of 'use warnings' statements from the code - they | |
2412 | were causing compile failures on 5.005_04, where warnings.pm isn't | |
2413 | available. [Blair Zajac] | |
2414 | ||
2415 | 0.2601 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Wed Nov 3 20:09:27 CST 2004 | |
2416 | ||
2417 | - Fixed some backslash problems with split_like_shell() on | |
2418 | Win32. [Steve Hay] | |
2419 | ||
2420 | - Fixed a bug in split_like_shell() in which leading whitespace was | |
2421 | creating an empty word, manifesting as something like "gcc - no | |
2422 | such file or directory" during tests. [Spotted by Warren L. Dodge] | |
2423 | ||
2424 | 0.26 Sat Oct 9 17:51:01 CDT 2004 | |
2425 | ||
2426 | - Removed some language from the Module::Build::Compat documentation | |
2427 | that encouraged people to include a Build.PL without a Makefile.PL. | |
2428 | Also changed "a replacement for MakeMaker" to "an alternative to | |
2429 | MakeMaker" in the main documentation, which is basically what I | |
2430 | meant all along (i.e. a replacement for MakeMaker in your | |
2431 | particular build process - MakeMaker is never going to be fully | |
2432 | replaced in the perl world at large, of course), but some people | |
2433 | got the impression I was a little more truculent toward MakeMaker | |
2434 | than I really am. | |
2435 | ||
2436 | - Added the formal concepts of "features" and "config data" for | |
2437 | distributions. This allows the module author to define a certain | |
2438 | set of features that the user can switch on and off (usually | |
2439 | according to whether they have the proper prerequisites for them), | |
2440 | and to save build-time configuration information in a standardized | |
2441 | format. See the main documentation of Module::Build for more | |
2442 | details. (Note that the name of this system was called | |
2443 | "BuildConfig" for a while in beta, but now it's called | |
2444 | "ConfigData".) | |
2445 | ||
2446 | - Added an 'auto_features' capability, which simplifies the process | |
2447 | of defining features that depend on a set of prerequisites. | |
2448 | ||
2449 | - Added the 'get_options' parameter, which lets module authors | |
2450 | declare certain command-line arguments their Build.PL can accept | |
2451 | [David Wheeler] | |
2452 | ||
2453 | - Changed the split_like_shell() method to use the shellwords() | |
2454 | function from Text::ParseWords (a core module since 5.0), which | |
2455 | does a much better job than the split() we were using. | |
2456 | ||
2457 | - Added a 'testpod' action, which checks the syntactic validity of | |
2458 | all POD files in the distribution using Test::Pod. This eliminates | |
2459 | the need for doing so in a regression test. [Initial patch by Mark | |
2460 | Stosberg] | |
2461 | ||
2462 | - Added a process_files_by_extension() method, which generalizes the | |
2463 | kind of processing (essentially just copying) that happens for .pm | |
2464 | and .pod files, and makes it available to other user-defined types | |
2465 | of files. See the new cookbook entry. | |
2466 | ||
2467 | - Improved compatibility with version.pm when authors are using | |
2468 | version objects as their $VERSION variables. Now | |
2469 | version_from_file() can deal with these objects. Currently we | |
2470 | stringify them right away, but perhaps in the future we will | |
2471 | preserve them as objects for a while. | |
2472 | ||
2473 | - During 'distdir' and 'distmeta' actions, die a bit more gracefully | |
2474 | if there's no MANIFEST (i.e. explicitly say that a MANIFEST is | |
2475 | required). [Spotted by Adrian Howard] | |
2476 | ||
2477 | - Eliminated a recursive dependency between creating the MANIFEST | |
2478 | file and creating the META.yml file. [Spotted by Dave Rolsky] | |
2479 | ||
2480 | - On Win32, where a single directory might be known variously as | |
2481 | "Module-Build-0.25_03" or "MODULE~1.25_", we now use | |
2482 | Win32::GetShortPathName($cwd) to verify that the 'Build' script is | |
2483 | being run from the correct directory, rather than just a string | |
2484 | comparison. | |
2485 | ||
2486 | - The add_to_cleanup() method will now accept glob()-style patterns | |
2487 | in addition to explicit filenames. Also documented the fact that | |
2488 | they can be specified in either Unix-style or native-style | |
2489 | notation. | |
2490 | ||
2491 | - Passing a PREFIX value to a pass-through Makefile 'make install' | |
2492 | now has the same effect as passing it to 'perl Makefile.PL' (it | |
2493 | dies with a helpful message). | |
2494 | ||
2495 | - Added the 'testcover' action, which runs a test suite using | |
2496 | Devel::Cover. [Dave Rolsky] | |
2497 | ||
2498 | - Added the 'lib' and 'arch' installation directories to the search | |
2499 | path for the 'diff' action, since they won't necessarily (though | |
2500 | they usually will) be in @INC at installation time. [Suggested by | |
2501 | Kevin Baker] | |
2502 | ||
2503 | - The "=head3" POD directive isn't supported in older podlators | |
2504 | (particularly Pod::Man), so we don't use it anymore. | |
2505 | ||
2506 | - Fixed a typo & improved the docs in the SUBCLASSING section. [Ron | |
2507 | Savage] | |
2508 | ||
2509 | - Added the '.tmp' suffix to the default MANIFEST.SKIP file, which | |
2510 | should avoid adding things like pod2htmi.tmp to the MANIFEST [Ron | |
2511 | Savage] | |
2512 | ||
2513 | - Backup files from Emacs, containing the string '.#' in their names, | |
2514 | should no longer find their way into the blib/ directory (and from | |
2515 | there into installation directories). | |
2516 | ||
2517 | - Worked around an unpleasant interaction between version.pm and the | |
2518 | version-checking code that makes sure Module::Build's version | |
2519 | hasn't changed during the lifetime of the 'Build' script. [Reported | |
2520 | by Trevor Schellhorn] | |
2521 | ||
2522 | - Fixed a problem in htmlify_pods() that would produce test failures | |
2523 | on Cygwin (and probably elsewhere). [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] | |
2524 | ||
2525 | - Fixed a test failure on Cygwin (and probably elsewhere) in | |
2526 | t/compat.t, resulting from empty environment variables being set to | |
2527 | the empty string (as opposed to simply being unset) by their mere | |
2528 | presence in the "EXPORT:" list. | |
2529 | ||
2530 | - Fixed a fatal error that occurred when the author specified | |
2531 | 'dist_author' manually in their Build.PL script. [Spotted by Ron | |
2532 | Savage] | |
2533 | ||
2534 | - The 'provides' section of the META.yml file wasn't being built | |
2535 | properly on Win32, because of a mismatch between URL-format and | |
2536 | native-format pathnames. Fixed. [Reported by Robert Rothenberg] | |
2537 | ||
2538 | - The progress message "lib/Foo.xs -> lib/Foo.c" was previously being | |
2539 | output even when the Foo.c file wasn't being rebuilt. It's now | |
2540 | fixed. | |
2541 | ||
2542 | - Fixed a couple of places in Compat.pm where it could have forgotten | |
2543 | which perl interpreter it had been run with ($^X isn't very | |
2544 | trustworthy). | |
2545 | ||
2546 | - On some systems, the way we updated the timestamp on the | |
2547 | "lib/Foo.bs" file (one of the output files for XS-based modules) | |
2548 | was failing. It's been replaced by a simple call to utime(). | |
2549 | ||
2550 | - Fixed a problem in t/compat.t that prevented it from being run | |
2551 | individually using 'make test TEST_FILES=t/compat.t'. The problem | |
2552 | was that a couple environment variables (TEST_FILES, MAKEFLAGS) | |
2553 | were being passed through to subprocesses, and confused them. | |
2554 | ||
2555 | - Fixed an important typo in the documentation for the 'install_base' | |
2556 | parameter ('libdoc' and 'bindoc' were switched). [Ray Zimmerman] | |
2557 | ||
2558 | - The pass-through Makefiles (type 'small' or 'passthrough') now | |
2559 | support the TEST_FILES parameter to 'make test'. | |
2560 | ||
2561 | - Fixed a fatal error that would occur on perl 5.005 when building | |
2562 | HTML documentation, because its version of Pod::Html was old and | |
2563 | didn't like some of the parameters we fed it. [Spotted by Blair | |
2564 | Zajac] | |
2565 | ||
2566 | - The final line of the generated pass-through Makefile was missing | |
2567 | its trailing newline, which is now fixed. [Chip Salzenberg] | |
2568 | ||
2569 | - We now depend on YAML version at least 0.35 and at most version | |
2570 | 0.49, so that we don't pick up a new (and backward-incompatible) beta | |
2571 | version from CPAN. | |
2572 | ||
2573 | - Squashed a warning in t/basic.t about '"Foo::Module::VERSION" used | |
2574 | only once', and one in PPMMaker about $^V being undefined. [Blair | |
2575 | Zajac] | |
2576 | ||
2577 | - Added a couple temporary output files from HTML documentation | |
2578 | generation to the cleanup list. [Toby Ovod-Everett] | |
2579 | ||
2580 | - The PodParser module will now only extract paragraphs in the | |
2581 | 'AUTHOR' section of the pod if they contain an '@' character. This | |
2582 | tends to do a better job, heuristically speaking, of returning | |
2583 | relevant stuff. | |
2584 | ||
2585 | - Added regression tests and a helper method ( add_build_elements() ) | |
2586 | for adding new elements to the build process. Also some | |
2587 | documentation. | |
2588 | ||
2589 | - Wrote a recipe in the Cookbook for adding new elements to the build | |
2590 | process, and a recipe for changing the order in which the steps in | |
2591 | the build process will occur. | |
2592 | ||
2593 | 0.25 Sun Apr 25 11:12:36 CDT 2004 | |
2594 | ||
2595 | - During the 'distdir' action, if no MANIFEST.SKIP file exists, we | |
2596 | will now create a reasonable default one. [Randy Sims] | |
2597 | ||
2598 | - In Makefile compatibility mode, some arguments (like UNINST, | |
2599 | TEST_VERBOSE, etc.) given to 'make' are now recognized and passed | |
2600 | through to Module::Build. [Randy Sims] | |
2601 | ||
2602 | - The regression tests now make sure that several pass-through | |
2603 | Makefile.PL parameters are dealt with correctly. | |
2604 | ||
2605 | - Added support for the 'LIB' parameter to passthrough | |
2606 | Makefile.PLs. [Spotted by Jesse Erlbaum] | |
2607 | ||
2608 | - Passing a 'PREFIX' parameter to a passthrough Makefile.PL was | |
2609 | supposed to make it die with a helpful error message, but instead | |
2610 | it just ignored it and blindly tried to install to the wrong place. | |
2611 | This is now fixed. [Spotted by Jesse Erlbaum] | |
2612 | ||
2613 | - Added an extra_compiler_flags() accessor method. | |
2614 | ||
2615 | - If the 'recursive_test_files' option was turned on, the test files | |
2616 | weren't sorted, but returned in an apparently random order. Now | |
2617 | they're sorted. [Martyn Peck] | |
2618 | ||
2619 | - Documented the 'tar' and 'gzip' parameters to the 'dist' and | |
2620 | 'ppmdist' actions. | |
2621 | ||
2622 | - The generation of HTML documentation now works (it was accidentally | |
2623 | partially implemented with an itchy patch-application finger in | |
2624 | 0.24). [Randy Kobes] | |
2625 | ||
2626 | - Fixed a fatal bug when building META.yml with YAML.pm and | |
2627 | 'dynamic_config' is set. [Reported by Jaap Karssenberg] | |
2628 | ||
2629 | - Fixed some incorrect error messages that occurred when | |
2630 | compiling/linking C sources went awry. | |
2631 | ||
2632 | - If the author uses a custom builder subclass, that subclass will | |
2633 | now be loaded correctly in the passthrough Makefile.PL if the | |
2634 | author uses the 'small' or 'passthrough' Makefile.PL options in | |
2635 | Module::Build::Compat. [Martyn Peck and Jaap Karssenberg] | |
2636 | ||
2637 | - If the author uses a custom builder subclass created dynamically | |
2638 | through the subclass() method, passthrough Makefile.PLs (of type | |
2639 | 'passthrough' or 'small') didn't work properly, because the custom | |
2640 | builder module wouldn't be loaded at the right time. This has been | |
2641 | fixed. [Reported by Toby Ovod-Everett] | |
2642 | ||
2643 | - In M::B-generated 'traditional' Makefile.PLs, the entries in | |
2644 | 'PREREQ_PM' are now sorted ASCIIbetically rather than randomly. | |
2645 | ||
2646 | - The install_types() method will now return any additional types | |
2647 | given as 'install_path' arguments, as well as all elements of the | |
2648 | current 'install_sets' entry. This makes it easier to add new | |
2649 | types of installable objects to the mix. | |
2650 | ||
2651 | - As a consequence of the previous change, there is no longer any | |
2652 | need to have an explicit 'install_types' data member, so it has | |
2653 | been removed. | |
2654 | ||
2655 | - In the second example code for the Module::Build->subclass() | |
2656 | method, the Module::Build module needed to be loaded before calling | |
2657 | its methods. [John Peacock] | |
2658 | ||
2659 | - Fixed minor error in the POD structure of Module::Build and | |
2660 | Module::Build::Platform::VMS docs. | |
2661 | ||
2662 | ||
2663 | 0.24 Wed Feb 25 15:57:00 CST 2004 | |
2664 | ||
2665 | - Fixed a problem with incude_dirs not being propagated to the 'ccs' | |
2666 | file when compiling XS files on Win32. [Randy Sims and Steve Hay] | |
2667 | ||
2668 | - In 0.23, Module::Build::Compat->fake_makefile() started choking | |
2669 | when no 'build_class' parameter was supplied in the Makefile.PL. | |
2670 | Since these Makefile.PLs still exist on CPAN, we now default | |
2671 | 'build_class' to 'Module::Build', which was the old 0.22 behavior | |
2672 | anyway. [Reported by Martin Titz and Jeremy Seitz] | |
2673 | ||
2674 | - Added documentation for the 'include_dirs' parameter to | |
2675 | new(). [Steve Hay] | |
2676 | ||
2677 | - Changed the no-op command on Win32 from 'rem' to 'rem>nul' inside | |
2678 | pass-through Makefiles. [Randy Sims] | |
2679 | ||
2680 | - The 'autosplit' parameter now accepts an array reference if | |
2681 | multiple files should be split. [Jaap Karssenberg] | |
2682 | ||
2683 | - find_perl_interpreter() will now use $^X (if absolute), $ENV{PATH} | |
2684 | (if $^X isn't absolute), and $Config{perlpath}, in that order. | |
2685 | Also, we now make darn sure the result is the same version of perl, | |
2686 | by checking Config::myconfig() for a match against the current | |
2687 | perl. [Reported by Edward Sabol] | |
2688 | ||
2689 | - Fixed a fatal error on Win32 (and any other platform that doesn't | |
2690 | define an installation location for Unix-style man pages) during | |
2691 | installation. | |
2692 | ||
2693 | 0.23 Sun Feb 8 22:01:18 CST 2004 | |
2694 | ||
2695 | - Fixed a compatibility problem in pass-through Makefiles (created by | |
2696 | Module::Build::Compat). Some 'make' utilities (for example, BSD | |
2697 | make) didn't like a '@' by itself on a line, so we stole some | |
2698 | 'NOOP' code from MakeMaker to fix it. [Reported by Mathieu Arnold] | |
2699 | ||
2700 | - Added a 'ppm_dist' action, which just makes the PPD file and then | |
2701 | makes a tarball out of the blib/ directory. [Randy Sims] | |
2702 | ||
2703 | - The @INC of the parent process is now propagated to child processes | |
2704 | when processing *.PL files. [Reported by Jaap Karssenberg] | |
2705 | ||
2706 | - We now only attempt to fix the shebang line on a script if the | |
2707 | shebang line matches the regex /perl/i . This fixes some instances | |
2708 | where people put shell scripts in their distributions. [Jaap | |
2709 | Karssenberg] | |
2710 | ||
2711 | - We no longer generate a 'requires', 'recommends', 'conflicts', | |
2712 | etc. entry in the META.yml file if there's no data to go in it. | |
2713 | ||
2714 | - Added a documentation reference to Michael Schwern's wiki for tips | |
2715 | on conversion from MakeMaker to M::B. [Randy Sims] | |
2716 | ||
2717 | - If there are script_files, we now add EXE_FILES to the | |
2718 | 'traditional' Makefile.PL generated by M::B::Compat. [Suggested by | |
2719 | Yuval Kogman] | |
2720 | ||
2721 | - Documented the 'test_files' parameter to new(). [Reported by Tony | |
2722 | Bowden] | |
2723 | ||
2724 | - Fixed a problem in "Build help <action>", which didn't find the | |
2725 | correct help chunk if <action> was the final element in a POD | |
2726 | list. [Jaap Karssenberg] | |
2727 | ||
2728 | - Fixed a problem in the get_action_docs() method which gave | |
2729 | incorrect results if the method was called more than once in the | |
2730 | same program. | |
2731 | ||
2732 | - Fixed a problem in which actions defined by user subclasses | |
2733 | wouldn't be available via the pass-through Makefiles created by | |
2734 | Module::Build::Compat. [Reported by Jaap Karssenberg] | |
2735 | ||
2736 | - We now use Data::Dumper instead of our own ad-hoc serialization | |
2737 | routines to create the 'traditional' Makefile.PL | |
2738 | arguments. [Suggested by Yuval Kojman] | |
2739 | ||
2740 | 0.22 Sat Jan 10 22:05:39 CST 2004 | |
2741 | ||
2742 | - On Unixish platforms, the syntax "FOO=BAR /bin/baz arg arg" now | |
2743 | works when present in $Config{ld}. This solves a problem on Mac OS | |
2744 | X 10.3. [Reported by Adam Foxson] | |
2745 | ||
2746 | - The have_c_compiler() now also tests whether the linker seems to | |
2747 | work too. | |
2748 | ||
2749 | - Fixed a problem with creating the distribution tarball in which | |
2750 | permissions would usually be all read-only. We now use our own | |
2751 | file-copying routines rather than those in ExtUtils::Manifest, | |
2752 | because those do some annoying extra permissions-setting stuff for | |
2753 | no apparent reason. It makes me happy that this was a very very | |
2754 | easy patch to make. [Reported by Thomas Klausner] | |
2755 | ||
2756 | - The compile_c() method now includes $Config{cccdlflags} in its | |
2757 | command invocation. It's usually empty, but not always, so we | |
2758 | didn't notice for a while. [Richard Clamp] | |
2759 | ||
2760 | - On some platforms it's common to have a $Config{make} defined, but | |
2761 | no 'make' utility actually available. We now detect this and skip | |
2762 | some 'make' compatibility tests. [Randy Sims] | |
2763 | ||
2764 | - Fixed a spurious testing failure on non-Unix platforms that | |
2765 | happened because we accidentally call localize_file_path() on empty | |
2766 | strings in the test suite. [Spotted by Randy Sims on Windows] | |
2767 | ||
2768 | - Made the 'name', 'abstract', 'author', and 'version' properties | |
2769 | required when building a PPD file. [Spotted by Randy Sims, Dave | |
2770 | Rolsky, & Glenn Linderman] | |
2771 | ||
2772 | - When building a 'traditional' Makefile.PL with | |
2773 | Module::Build::Compat, we now use 'VERSION_FROM' when possible, | |
2774 | rather than always using 'VERSION'. This way the Makefile.PL | |
2775 | doesn't have to get modified every release. | |
2776 | ||
2777 | - Made some fixups to the 'PPM' info-file, improving compatibility | |
2778 | with ActiveState's PPM tools. [Randy Sims, Glenn Linderman] | |
2779 | ||
2780 | - The 'dist_author' property can now accept multiple authors, see the | |
2781 | docs for more info. [Randy Sims] | |
2782 | ||
2783 | - If the user doesn't have YAML.pm installed during ACTION_dist, we | |
2784 | now create a minimal YAML.pm anyway, without any dependency | |
2785 | information. | |
2786 | ||
2787 | - The 'distribution_type' field is no longer created in META.yml | |
2788 | files, in accordance with the finding made at the London CLPAN | |
2789 | meeting that it's essentially meaningless and ill-defined. | |
2790 | ||
2791 | - The 'dist' action now accepts an optional 'tar' parameter to use a | |
2792 | system utility for building the tarball, and a 'gzip' parameter for | |
2793 | compressing it. If these are used, Archive::Tar won't be invoked. | |
2794 | This was added because Archive::Tar is producing some very | |
2795 | non-cross-platform tarballs that many tar utilities can't handle. | |
2796 | ||
2797 | - During testing, if YAML.pm isn't installed, then we won't try | |
2798 | making a tarball either, since this would invoke YAML to create the | |
2799 | META.yml file. | |
2800 | ||
2801 | - Fixed a problem with chmod() being called incorrectly on MacOS | |
2802 | (i.e. MacPerl, not Mac OS X). [Spotted by Paul Sanford Toney] | |
2803 | ||
2804 | - Fixed a problem with the --config flag not being treated properly | |
2805 | (essentially ignored) on the command line for 'perl Build.PL' or | |
2806 | 'Build <action>'. [Spotted by Jakub Bogusz] | |
2807 | ||
2808 | - Added a new config() method to get at the Build object's notion of | |
2809 | the %Config hash. | |
2810 | ||
2811 | - Test::Harness is starting to contend for the Most Crotchety Module | |
2812 | Award. Work around a few of its nits when setting harness | |
2813 | switches. [Spotted by Diab Jerius] | |
2814 | ||
2815 | - Now the Build script will die() if we're run from the wrong | |
2816 | directory, rather than trying to chdir() to what it thinks is the | |
2817 | right directory and do its work there. See | |
2818 | https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4039 . [Chris Dolan] | |
2819 | ||
2820 | - Changed the manpage separator on OS/2 to '.'. [Ilya Zakharevich] | |
2821 | ||
2822 | - On OS/2, disable C compilation, since apparently it isn't working | |
2823 | there. [Reported by Ilya Zakharevich] | |
2824 | ||
2825 | - Inserted a comment into auto-generated Makefile.PLs saying it was | |
2826 | auto-generated. [Randy Sims] | |
2827 | ||
2828 | - Fixed some annoying behavior in generated passthrough Makefile.PLs | |
2829 | when the user chose not to install Module::Build, or if | |
2830 | installation failed. [Reported by Ilya Zakharevich and Richard | |
2831 | Clamp] | |
2832 | ||
2833 | - Moved the documentation for 'codebase' to the section where it's | |
2834 | relevant. [Randy Sims, Glenn Linderman] | |
2835 | ||
2836 | - Fixed a have_c_compiler() failure on some platforms, we now define | |
2837 | a boot_compilet() function (since we're compiling a library, not an | |
2838 | executable). [Randy Sims] | |
2839 | ||
2840 | - Added a recipe to the Module::Build::Cookbook describing how to | |
2841 | maintain compatibility with older versions of CPAN.pm [Jim Cromie] | |
2842 | ||
2843 | - Removed caveat about "looking for alternatives" in how hashes are | |
2844 | specified on the command line, since an alternative has been found. | |
2845 | ||
2846 | - Previously most warnings about optional prerequisites looked like | |
2847 | they were actually error messages about required prerequisites. | |
2848 | This has been corrected. [Reported again by Sagar Shah] | |
2849 | ||
2850 | - Added support for building XS (and C in general) stuff on AIX. | |
2851 | This was done by a small reorganization of prelink_c() method from | |
2852 | Windows.pm to Build.pm, and it is only invoked for the platforms | |
2853 | that need it invoked. AIX also massages some very naughty bits | |
2854 | (MakeMaker macro variables) in $Config{lddlflags} that should never | |
2855 | have been put there, but alas, they're there, so we find & resolve | |
2856 | them. | |
2857 | ||
2858 | - Added OS/2 ($^O = 'os2') to the list of Unix-like platforms. This | |
2859 | basically means that most platform-specific operations will be done | |
2860 | in a Unix-like manner. | |
2861 | ||
2862 | - Pass-through Makefiles will now die() when they're given a PREFIX | |
2863 | parameter, and suggest using 'destdir' or 'install_base' instead. | |
2864 | Previously they just ignored the parameter and tried to install to | |
2865 | the default location, which is clearly not what the user wanted. | |
2866 | ||
2867 | - Updated my email address in the documentation to a more recent | |
2868 | variant. | |
2869 | ||
2870 | - Add NetBSD to the list of Unix-like systems. [Adrian Bunk] | |
2871 | ||
2872 | - Add SVR5 to the list of Unix-like systems. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez] | |
2873 | ||
2874 | - We now use Pod::Parser to find the ABSTRACT and AUTHOR when it's | |
2875 | available on the system. [initial patch by Randy Sims] | |
2876 | ||
2877 | - Fixed a little scalar/list buglet in a documentation example. | |
2878 | ||
2879 | 0.21 Wed Oct 15 20:47:05 CDT 2003 | |
2880 | ||
2881 | - Added a have_c_compiler() method. | |
2882 | ||
2883 | - Added documentation for the requires(), recommends(), | |
2884 | build_requires(), and conflicts() methods. | |
2885 | ||
2886 | - On Unix platforms, we now create the "Build" script with a #! line | |
2887 | matching the perl interpreter that was used to invoke the Build.PL | |
2888 | script, rather than whatever is in $Config{startperl}. This avoids | |
2889 | a potential warning about the interpreters not matching. [Spotted | |
2890 | by Ken Y. Clark] | |
2891 | ||
2892 | - The Unix version now uses the safer multi-argument form of system() | |
2893 | when building distribution tarballs. | |
2894 | ||
2895 | - Added a regression test for the 'dist' action to the t/runthrough.t | |
2896 | test. | |
2897 | ||
2898 | - Fixed a problem with File::Spec usage when creating the names of | |
2899 | 'libdoc' manual pages - the code wasn't dealing with the volume or | |
2900 | file portions correctly on certain platforms. | |
2901 | ||
2902 | - When creating the names of the 'libdoc' manual pages, we no longer | |
2903 | assume that pods are under the hard-coded paths 'blib/lib' or | |
2904 | 'blib/arch'. | |
2905 | ||
2906 | - Fixed a crashing bug that could sometimes occur when the | |
2907 | distribution contained no 'lib' directory. [Chris Dolan] | |
2908 | ||
2909 | - Fixed a crashing bug that happened when the user had .PL files in | |
2910 | the lib/ directory and didn't explicitly name them in a hash | |
2911 | reference to the new() constructor. [Chris Reinhardt, bug #4036] | |
2912 | ||
2913 | - .PL files are now passed the names of their target file(s) on the | |
2914 | command line when they run. | |
2915 | ||
2916 | - When YAML.pm wasn't installed, t/runthrough.t wasn't properly | |
2917 | skipping some tests that required YAML. This is now fixed. | |
2918 | [Stephen J. Smith] | |
2919 | ||
2920 | - Added documentation for the dist_version() and dist_name() | |
2921 | methods. [Spotted by Johan Vromans] | |
2922 | ||
2923 | - Existing values in $ENV{HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES} are now respected | |
2924 | and not squashed when we run the 'test' action. [Paul Johnson] | |
2925 | ||
2926 | - On cygwin, the separator string for manual page names has been set | |
2927 | to '.'. Previously it was '::', inherited from Unix. [Yitzchak | |
2928 | Scott-Thoennes] | |
2929 | ||
2930 | - Avoid a warning when Build.PL is run (i.e. when the new() method is | |
2931 | called) and no MANIFEST file exists. [Michael Schwern and Kevin | |
2932 | Ruscoe] | |
2933 | ||
2934 | - Added documentation for the 'code' and 'docs' actions. [Steve | |
2935 | Purkis and Mark Stosberg] | |
2936 | ||
2937 | - The internal method compile_support_files() has been renamed to | |
2938 | process_support_files() in order to make it consistent with other | |
2939 | processing methods. Note that it was never documented using the | |
2940 | old name. It's still not documented, actually. Maybe later. | |
2941 | ||
2942 | - Skip the 'write' pseudo-entry in the 'diff' action's installation | |
2943 | map. [Chris Dolan] | |
2944 | ||
2945 | - Fixed a bug in which notes() set in the Build.PL before | |
2946 | create_build_script() was called would get lost unless more notes() | |
2947 | were also set afterwards. [Spotted by Dave Rolsky] | |
2948 | ||
2949 | - The process of building elements of the distribution is now driven | |
2950 | by a list of build elements, paving the way for letting people add | |
2951 | their own types of build elements in future versions of | |
2952 | Module::Build (or in the current version with some difficulty). | |
2953 | ||
2954 | - Fixed some linking errors on Cygwin. [Randy Sims, Terrence Brannon] | |
2955 | ||
2956 | - Fixed a line-ending problem with detecting the dist_abstract | |
2957 | properly on Cygwin. [Randy Sims] | |
2958 | ||
2959 | - Fixed a problem with signatures that occurred if 'distsign' was | |
2960 | called before 'distdir' - the signature would be generated twice. | |
2961 | ||
2962 | - Added a 'create_readme' parameter to new(), which will use | |
2963 | Pod::Text to generate a README from the main (dist_version_from) | |
2964 | module file during the 'distdir' action. | |
2965 | ||
2966 | - We now refuse to run the 'Build' script if it was created using a | |
2967 | different version of Module::Build. This has caused a couple of | |
2968 | nasty bugs in the past, I don't want to know what it would cause in | |
2969 | the future. | |
2970 | ||
2971 | - Documentation for do_system() has been added. [Dave Rolsky] | |
2972 | ||
2973 | - run_perl_script() is now available as a class method, though it | |
2974 | will need to (re-)find the perl interpreter in this case. | |
2975 | ||
2976 | - Added a new_from_context() method that authors of automated tools | |
2977 | like CPANPLUS and CPAN can use instead of running all tasks as | |
2978 | sub-processes. We also use it in the regression tests for | |
2979 | Module::Build itself. ** Note that this method is currently | |
2980 | undocumented because its name may change in the future. ** | |
2981 | ||
2982 | - When signing distributions with Module::Signature, we now | |
2983 | automatically add the SIGNATURE file to the MANIFEST, avoiding an | |
2984 | unpleasant chicken/egg problem for the module author. | |
2985 | [unpleasantness spotted by sungo] | |
2986 | ||
2987 | - In Module::Build::Compat, added support for the 'verbose' parameter | |
2988 | to Makefile.PL [spotted by Soren Andersen, fixed by Michael | |
2989 | Schwern] | |
2990 | ||
2991 | - The Module::Build distribution now has a cryptographic 'SIGNATURE' | |
2992 | file created by Module::Signature. | |
2993 | ||
2994 | - Added proper documentation for the subclass() method. [spotted by | |
2995 | Jonathan Steinert] | |
2996 | ||
2997 | - Worked around a Config.pm bug in Red Hat 9 which prevented man | |
2998 | pages from being installed in the correct places. [spotted by Ville | |
2999 | Skytta] | |
3000 | ||
3001 | - Fixed a Module::Build::Compat bug in which setting INSTALLDIRS | |
3002 | caused a crash. [spotted by Ilya Martynov] | |
3003 | ||
3004 | 0.20 Tue Aug 26 14:34:07 CDT 2003 | |
3005 | ||
3006 | - Separated the 'build' action into two separate actions, 'code' and | |
3007 | 'docs'. This is similar to MakeMaker's separation of the 'all' | |
3008 | target into 'pure_all' and 'manifypods'. This fixes a permissions | |
3009 | hassle in which doing 'sudo Build install' would often create local | |
3010 | doc files that needed superuser permissions to delete. | |
3011 | ||
3012 | - Enhanced the 'help' action - 'Build help foo' will now show the POD | |
3013 | documentation for the 'foo' action. | |
3014 | ||
3015 | - Added a notes() feature, which helps share data transparently | |
3016 | between the Build.PL and t/*.t scripts. | |
3017 | ||
3018 | - The installation process will now create man(1) and man(3) pages | |
3019 | from POD in modules & scripts, and install them. We don't build | |
3020 | man pages when there's nowhere to install them, such as on some | |
3021 | Win32 or most Mac systems. [large patch by Steve Purkis, 5.005 fix | |
3022 | by Mathieu Arnold] | |
3023 | ||
3024 | - The 'distdir' action now copies files to the distribution | |
3025 | directory, rather than making them hard links to the original | |
3026 | files. This allows authors to do last-minute alterations of the | |
3027 | files without affecting the originals. [Dave Rolsky] | |
3028 | ||
3029 | - If the author uses XS files in nonstandard locations, the copied | |
3030 | versions of those files will now be cleaned up properly. | |
3031 | ||
3032 | - In invoking the 'test' action or invoking 'xsubpp', we now use the | |
3033 | same perl executable as we use everywhere else, rather than blindly | |
3034 | using $^X or $Config{perlpath} (neither of which are very | |
3035 | reliable). | |
3036 | ||
3037 | - Fixed a problem with the 'install_path' parameter given to | |
3038 | 'Build.PL' being lost in subsequent actions. [Reported by Mathieu | |
3039 | Arnold] | |
3040 | ||
3041 | - Fixed yet another bug with installation directories, in which the | |
3042 | 'install_base' parameter wasn't being respected on the command | |
3043 | line. [Spotted by Jonathan Swartz] | |
3044 | ||
3045 | - Changed the way the depends_on() method works inside action | |
3046 | subroutines - now each action will only run once per dispatch() | |
3047 | invocation (similar to how perl's require() function works). This | |
3048 | helps avoid some difficult problems with dependency loops. | |
3049 | ||
3050 | - Changed the documentation for the 'autosplit' parameter to give | |
3051 | reasons why it may not be a good idea to use, but no longer | |
3052 | threaten to remove it. [Suggested by Martyn J. Pearce] | |
3053 | ||
3054 | - Improved the formatting of the 'traditional' Makefile.PL generated | |
3055 | by Module::Build::Compat->create_makefile_pl. [Michael Schwern] | |
3056 | ||
3057 | - The 'traditional' Makefile.PL will now use the 'module_name' | |
3058 | parameter (as NAME) if it's available, otherwise it will continue | |
3059 | to use the 'dist_name' (as DISTNAME). [Michael Schwern] | |
3060 | ||
3061 | - Created read/write accessor methods for all our 'properties'. | |
3062 | [Michael Schwern] | |
3063 | ||
3064 | - The 'test_files' parameter can now be specified using glob() syntax | |
3065 | (i.e. 't/*.t'), and the corresponding test_files() method is now a | |
3066 | read/write accessor. | |
3067 | ||
3068 | - The location of the 'blib' directory is now a property of the Build | |
3069 | object - nobody is likely to notice this change, with any luck, but | |
3070 | it makes the design and code cleaner. | |
3071 | ||
3072 | - The 'disttest' and 'distsign' methods now chdir() back to the | |
3073 | directory where they started, rather than to the base_dir of the | |
3074 | build. | |
3075 | ||
3076 | - Improved comparisons of version strings containing underscore | |
3077 | characters (indicating "beta" status). [Steve Purkis] | |
3078 | ||
3079 | - Added documentation for the 'dist_author', 'dist_abstract', and | |
3080 | 'codebase' parameters to new(), and for the 'ppd' action. [Dave | |
3081 | Rolsky] | |
3082 | ||
3083 | - Added documentation for the up_to_date() and contains_pod() | |
3084 | methods. [Dave Rolsky] | |
3085 | ||
3086 | - 'traditional' pass-through Makefile.PLs will now contain an | |
3087 | INSTALLDIRS parameter matching the Build.PL's 'installdirs' | |
3088 | setting. | |
3089 | ||
3090 | - version_from_file() now ignores $VERSION variables that are defined | |
3091 | in POD or comments. It can still be tricked by $VERSIONs in string | |
3092 | literals, though. [Steve Purkis] | |
3093 | ||
3094 | - The code to find packages in module files now uses Steve's scanning | |
3095 | method (above) to skip package-declaration-lookalikes in POD or | |
3096 | comments. | |
3097 | ||
3098 | - The 'disttest' action will now propagate its @INC settings to its | |
3099 | subprocesses. | |
3100 | ||
3101 | 0.19 Wed Jul 9 22:34:02 CDT 2003 | |
3102 | ||
3103 | - Added support for the 'install_path' parameter, which allows custom | |
3104 | specification of where things should be installed. This is a major | |
3105 | improvement to Module::Build's functionality. | |
3106 | ||
3107 | - Added the 'install_base' parameter. Provides an easy way to | |
3108 | install to local or alternative directory trees. | |
3109 | ||
3110 | - We now install scripts by default to $Config{installsitebin} | |
3111 | instead of $Config{installscript}. Neither is a great choice, but | |
3112 | the former is likely to be [analogous to] /usr/local/bin, and the | |
3113 | latter is likely to be [something like] /usr/bin . If/when there's | |
3114 | a $Config{installsitescript}, we'll start using that automatically. | |
3115 | ||
3116 | - Fixed a problem on Win32 in which C and XS files wouldn't be | |
3117 | compiled properly, and the user would see an error about 'Can't | |
3118 | locate object method "format_compiler_cmd"'. | |
3119 | (http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2391) | |
3120 | ||
3121 | - We now use the correct perl interpreter (via | |
3122 | Module::Build->find_perl_interpreter) in pass-through makefiles. | |
3123 | ||
3124 | - The t/compat.t test now uses $Config{make} instead of just 'make' | |
3125 | to test makefile compatibility. This fixes some failures on Win32. | |
3126 | We also skip this test entirely if no make utility is available. | |
3127 | ||
3128 | - Alternative distribution layouts are now supported via the | |
3129 | 'pm_files', 'pod_files', 'xs_files', 'PL_files', and 'script_files' | |
3130 | parameters to new(). This should help people transition from | |
3131 | MakeMaker, and might even help us write an automatic transition | |
3132 | tool. | |
3133 | ||
3134 | - Added tests to t/runthrough.t that check to see installation is | |
3135 | happening correctly. | |
3136 | ||
3137 | - Added experimental code to build a .ppd file, in support of | |
3138 | ActiveState's "Perl Package Manager". [original patch by Dave | |
3139 | Rolsky] | |
613f422f | 3140 | |
bb4e9162 YST |
3141 | - For authors who use Module::Signature to sign their distributions, |
3142 | we now create the SIGNATURE file right in the distribution | |
3143 | directory, rather than creating it in the top-level directory and | |
3144 | copying it into place. This solves problems related to having | |
3145 | files get out of date with respect to their signatures. | |
613f422f | 3146 | |
bb4e9162 YST |
3147 | - We now don't depend on Module::Info to scan for packages during the |
3148 | 'dist' action anymore, because it's way too aggressive about | |
3149 | loading other modules that you may not want loaded. We now just | |
3150 | (ick, yuck) scan the .pm files with a regular expression to find | |
3151 | "package Foo::Bar;" statements. | |
3152 | ||
3153 | - Silenced some annoying copyright/logo output from Microsoft 'nmake' | |
3154 | during Makefile compatibility testing. [Randy W. Sims] | |
3155 | ||
3156 | - Command-line arguments may now either be specified using the syntax | |
3157 | '--foo foovalue' as well as the traditional syntax 'foo=foovalue'. | |
3158 | The former is often more convenient for shell tab-completion when | |
3159 | the value is a filename (as in 'Build test --test_files t/basic.t'). | |
3160 | ||
3161 | - Command-line arguments may now include non-named parameters, which | |
3162 | make some actions more natural. For instance, the 'diff' action | |
3163 | may now be invoked as 'Build diff -u' rather than as | |
3164 | 'Build diff flags=-u'. | |
3165 | ||
3166 | - Pass-through Makefile.PLs now convert unknown Makefile.PL | |
3167 | parameters to lower-case and hand them to Build.PL, rather than | |
3168 | ignoring them. This means we only have to account for the | |
3169 | differences in the interface, not the entire interface, in | |
3170 | translating parameters. | |
3171 | ||
3172 | - We now issue a warning & don't proceed if asked to make a distdir | |
3173 | and there's no MANIFEST or it's empty. | |
3174 | ||
3175 | - Moved INSTALL to INSTALL.txt to increase compatibility with various | |
3176 | odd versions of 'make' during 'make install' on case-insensitive | |
3177 | filesystems (like nmake on Win32, often). Only affects the | |
3178 | Makefile compatibility layer. [reported by Andrew Savige] | |
3179 | ||
3180 | - Module::Build->known_actions() now works as a class method. | |
3181 | ||
3182 | - Pass-through makefiles now list each action individually rather | |
3183 | than using a ".DEFAULT" catch-all. This improves compatibility | |
3184 | with 'nmake' on Win32, and probably some other less common 'make' | |
3185 | dialects. [Andrew Savige] | |
3186 | ||
3187 | - We're now more aggressive about testing the pass-through makefiles, | |
3188 | e.g. making sure they can run 'all' and 'test' targets, and making | |
3189 | sure the Makefile itself actually exists. | |
3190 | ||
3191 | - Fixed a problem with check_installed_status() when installed | |
3192 | version contains non-numeric characters like underscores. | |
3193 | ||
3194 | - Fixed a problem with a bareword 'File::Spec' in one of the test | |
3195 | scripts that caused it not to compile under 5.8.0 (but is fine | |
3196 | under 5.6). | |
3197 | ||
3198 | - Fixed a problem with the 'destdir' installation parameter on | |
3199 | platforms that have volume identifiers in path names (like "C:" on | |
3200 | Win32). The identifier is now stripped from installation | |
3201 | directories before prepending the destdir path. The destdir path | |
3202 | may still have a volume identifier on it. | |
3203 | ||
3204 | - Added an 'add_to_cleanup' parameter to new() that calls | |
3205 | add_to_cleanup() immediately for the given files. | |
3206 | ||
3207 | - The distribution directory (e.g. Sample-Module-0.13/ ) will now be | |
3208 | deleted during the 'clean' or 'realclean' actions. | |
613f422f | 3209 | |
bb4e9162 YST |
3210 | - During testing of modules, blib/lib and blib/arch are now added as |
3211 | absolute paths, not relative. This helps tests that load the | |
3212 | modules at runtime and may change the current working directory | |
3213 | (like Module::Build itself does during testing). | |
613f422f | 3214 | |
bb4e9162 YST |
3215 | - The $Config{cc} entry on some people's systems is something like |
3216 | 'ccache gcc', so we now split that string using split_like_shell(). | |
3217 | [Richard Clamp] | |
3218 | ||
3219 | - Added documentation for 'extra_linker_flags' parameter, and added a | |
3220 | corresponding 'extra_compiler_flags' parameter. [original patch by | |
3221 | Richard Clamp] | |
738349a8 SH |
3222 | |
3223 | - The pass-through Makefile created by Module::Build::Compat now | |
3224 | supports MakeMaker options like POLLUTE=1 and INC. We also just | |
3225 | warn & skip when we see any unknown MM parameters, rather than | |
3226 | dying. [Dave Rolsky] | |
3227 | ||
3228 | - Fixed an error about how @INC and $ENV{PERL5LIB} interact during | |
3229 | the testing of M::B itself. [jk <billy2000@fastmail.fm>] | |
3230 | ||
3231 | - The pass-through Makefile doesn't include 'recommended' M::B | |
3232 | dependencies in the Makefile anymore, since they're not strictly | |
3233 | necessary. In particular, this makes installing M::B itself | |
3234 | easier. | |
3235 | ||
3236 | - A new 'create_makefile_pl' parameter lets you use | |
3237 | Module::Build::Compat during the 'distdir' (or 'dist') action to | |
3238 | automatically create a Makefile.PL for compatibility with | |
3239 | ExtUtils::MakeMaker. The parameter's value should be one of the | |
3240 | styles named in the Module::Build::Compat documentation. | |
3241 | ||
3242 | - When compiling C code, we now respect 'pollute' and 'inc' | |
3243 | parameters. (XXX - needs docs) [Dave Rolsky] | |
613f422f | 3244 | |
738349a8 SH |
3245 | - Made the creation of the "install map" more generic. (XXX - needs |
3246 | documentation) | |
3247 | ||
3248 | - Fixed a problem in which add_to_cleanup() didn't note cleanup files | |
3249 | unless create_build_script() had been called already. [Dave Rolsky] | |
3250 | ||
3251 | - During 'Build dist', we no longer have to load each .pm file (via | |
3252 | Module::Info) to determine the $VERSION numbers inside. Instead, | |
3253 | we call our internal version_from_file() method, which is the same | |
3254 | thing MakeMaker and PAUSE and search.cpan.org do. Also fixes a | |
3255 | failure when Module::Info is installed in a nonstandard directory. | |
3256 | [reported by Teun Burgers] | |
3257 | ||
3258 | - Fixed some failing test code on Windows - open files can't be | |
3259 | deleted. [Andrew Savige] | |
3260 | ||
3261 | - The Cygwin platform is now treated as a flavor of Unix rather than | |
3262 | a flavor of Windows. [chocolateboy] | |
3263 | ||
3264 | - We're now more aggressive about adding temporary C compilation | |
3265 | files (*.c, *.bs) to the cleanup list. [Dave Rolsky] | |
3266 | ||
3267 | - When constructing the list in META.yml of packages provided by this | |
3268 | distribution, we now use the same rules as the PAUSE scanner does | |
3269 | when a single .pm file contains multiple VERSIONs. [Andreas Koenig] | |
3270 | ||
3271 | - check_installed_status() now works as both a class method and an | |
3272 | object method (and is documented so). [Spotted by Dave Rolsky] | |
3273 | ||
3274 | 0.18 Tue Apr 8 13:24:23 CDT 2003 | |
3275 | ||
3276 | - We now rewrite the shebang lines of scripts ourselves, rather than | |
3277 | relying on MakeMaker routines to do it. MakeMaker changed the way | |
3278 | this happened (not the result, but where the code lived) a few | |
3279 | times. [Suggested by Richard Clamp] | |
3280 | ||
3281 | - The scripts() method has changed to script_files(), and likewise | |
3282 | the 'scripts' parameter has changed to 'script_files'. The old | |
3283 | names can still be used for backward compatibility. | |
3284 | ||
3285 | - Support for the 'scripts' parameter (which is now 'script_files') | |
3286 | was broken in 0.17, now it's fixed. [Richard Clamp] | |
3287 | ||
3288 | - We now recommend ExtUtils::ParseXS 2.02, which will fail to load | |
3289 | with perl 5.005 or earlier (which is proper, because it doesn't | |
3290 | work with those versions). When it fails to load, we still fall | |
3291 | back to using the xsubpp script for XS parsing. [spotted by Dave | |
3292 | Rolsky, fix suggested by Richard Clamp] | |
3293 | ||
3294 | - Now works on VMS - the Build script's shebang-line-equivalent | |
3295 | wasn't being formed correctly there - though just about everything | |
3296 | else worked fine. [Tested & patched by Michael Schwern] | |
3297 | ||
3298 | - Eliminated a warning that occurred if 'perl Build.PL' or the | |
3299 | check_installed_status() method was run with -w. [Spotted by | |
3300 | Michael Schwern] | |
3301 | ||
3302 | 0.17 Sat Mar 29 18:06:01 CST 2003 | |
3303 | ||
3304 | - Now works under perl 5.005_03. [Richard Clamp] | |
3305 | ||
3306 | - When building blib/ , .PL files are now processed before doing | |
3307 | anything else. This means .PL files can be used in any of the | |
3308 | other contexts. | |
3309 | ||
3310 | - The locating and processing of .pm, .pod, .xs, .PL files and script | |
3311 | files are now isolated into their own methods. This is aimed | |
3312 | toward providing a stable interface for this stuff, so they can be | |
3313 | overridden, parameterized, etc. They're not quite stable yet, | |
3314 | though. | |
3315 | ||
3316 | - The internal lib_to_blib() method has gone away, because processing | |
3317 | is now done by smaller specialized methods. This method had some | |
3318 | duplicate assumptions about filenames that it's nice to get rid of. | |
3319 | ||
3320 | - .PL files are no longer automatically processed in the c_source | |
3321 | directory, they must be specified manually in a 'PL_files' | |
3322 | parameter. | |
3323 | ||
3324 | - Mention in the docs that it's useful to do "PL_FILES => {}" in a | |
3325 | Makefile.PL if you're using both a Makefile.PL and a | |
3326 | Build.PL. [Dom] | |
3327 | ||
3328 | - Add several options to the 'license' field, so that we're in better | |
3329 | sync with PAUSE and CPAN options. [Andreas Koenig] | |
3330 | ||
3331 | - Created a find_perl_interpreter() method that tries to locate the | |
3332 | currently executing perl interpreter. Following a suggestion from | |
3333 | Nicholas Clark <nick@ccl4.org> for Inline, we prefer an absolute | |
3334 | path in $^X, then an existent path in $Config{perlpath}, then | |
3335 | whatever's in $^X. | |
3336 | ||
3337 | - Use the aforementioned perl to run scripts in run_perl_script(). | |
3338 | This fixes the spurious warning "WARNING: Configuration was | |
3339 | initially created with 'foo', but we are now using 'bar'" that | |
3340 | appeared a lot in version 0.16. | |

3344 | ||
3345 | - All three C compilers that perl supports on Windows environments | |
3346 | (MSVC, BCC, and GCC) are now supported by Module::Build. We now | |
3347 | reportedly pass all tests on Windows. [Randy W. Sims] | |
3348 | ||
3349 | - The test t/xs.t, which tests building of XS modules, will be | |
3350 | skipped if no C compiler is found. [suggested by Randy W. Sims] | |
3351 | ||
3352 | - The "install" action accepts new "destdir" [motivated by Michael | |
3353 | Schwern and Chip Salzenberg] and "uninst" parameters [by Dave | |
3354 | Rolsky]. The former prepends an arbitrary directory to all | |
3355 | installation paths (useful for package management), and the latter | |
3356 | will tell ExtUtils::Install to remove any differing files that are | |
3357 | "shadowing" the stuff you're installing from a different location, | |
3358 | just like MakeMaker's "make install UNINST=1" command will do. | |
3359 | ||
3360 | - Made changes to the generated Makefile in Module::Build::Compat | |
3361 | that much better support Windows platforms [after suggestions by | |
3362 | James Freeman] | |
3363 | ||
3364 | - Added experimental support for creating distribution SIGNATURE | |
3365 | files via Module::Signature. [Dave Rolsky] | |
3366 | ||
3367 | - Added experimental support for installing via the "only.pm" module, | |
3368 | which allows loading specific versions of modules. Since this | |
3369 | module is so new, the interface may still be changing. [Brian | |
3370 | Ingerson] | |
3371 | ||
3372 | - Added support for installing executable scripts, via the 'scripts' | |
3373 | parameter to new(), and the scripts() accessor method. | |
3374 | ||
3375 | - Fix an infinite loop that occurred when doing 'perl Build.PL | |
3376 | config="foo=bar"' | |
3377 | ||
3378 | - Fix up the formatting of the error message the user gets when | |
3379 | prereqs aren't satisfied. | |
3380 | ||
3381 | 0.15 Fri Jan 17 15:00:24 CST 2003 | |
3382 | ||
3383 | - In link_c(), extra object files were mistakenly being treated as | |
3384 | output files, not input files, in the up-to-date check. Fixed. | |
3385 | ||
3386 | - In up_to_date(), don't make an unnecessary copy of the file lists | |
3387 | when they're specified as array references. | |
3388 | ||
3389 | - Split off the C compilation phase into its own method, | |
3390 | compile_support_files(), for easier subclassing. | |
3391 | ||
3392 | - Start a stub of a 'manifypods' action. | |
3393 | ||
3394 | - Compiler optimizations weren't being included in C compilation | |
3395 | statements. Fixed. | |
3396 | ||
3397 | - The 'extra_linker_flags' parameter wasn't being honored. Fixed. | |
3398 | ||
3399 | - The 'ccflags' Config.pm entry wasn't being properly split into | |
3400 | separate arguments. Fixed. | |
3401 | ||
3402 | ||
3403 | 0.14 Fri Dec 13 14:06:29 AEST 2002 | |
3404 | ||
3405 | - Added support for MacPerl (Mac OS version 9 and below), which (as | |
3406 | far as I know) was never natively supported by MakeMaker. Still | |
3407 | lacks support for the 'test' action (because Test::Harness | |
3408 | requires forking, which MacPerl won't do) and compiling XS/C files | |
3409 | (because I don't know how to invoke a compiler on MacOS, and one | |
3410 | may not even be available). This change is brought to you by | |
3411 | Michael Schwern and the letter '('. | |
3412 | ||
3413 | - Improved processing of .xs files. Now we use the new | |
3414 | ExtUtils::ParseXS module if it's available, otherwise we use | |
3415 | backticks and write the result to a .c file ourselves. This | |
3416 | avoids the need to do cross-platform shell redirection. | |
3417 | ||
3418 | - Make sure all parts of 'Build test' use the not-yet-installed | |
3419 | version of Module::Build. This only affects the tests for this | |
3420 | module, not any of the module code itself. [Spotted by Schwern] | |
3421 | ||
3422 | - Oopsie - use $Config{ld} instead of $Config{cc} for linking. | |
3423 | ||
3424 | - Added a 'diff' action, which is useful for comparing the details | |
3425 | of what you're about to install with what is already installed on | |
3426 | your system. This uses File::Compare, which is in the core. | |
3427 | ||
3428 | - Fixed a problem on Windows in which the _build/ directory wasn't | |
3429 | getting deleted during the 'realclean' action, because we had a | |
3430 | file open in that directory. [Spotted by Michael Schwern] | |
3431 | ||
3432 | - delete_filetree() now always uses File::Path::rmtree(), regardless | |
3433 | of whether the thing being deleted is a file or a directory. This | |
3434 | helps remove things on obscure platforms with strange locking | |
3435 | rules (or even not so obscure ones like MacOS). It also now | |
3436 | reports the number of files or directories deleted (without | |
3437 | recursing directory contents). | |
3438 | ||
3439 | - rm_previous_build_script() is gone, replaced by calls to | |
3440 | delete_filetree(). | |
3441 | ||
3442 | - 'Build' now chdir()s in a BEGIN block, so the 'use Module::Build' | |
3443 | statement will work correctly. Solves a problem on MacOS, where | |
3444 | the 'Build' script may often be invoked from the wrong working | |
3445 | directory. [Fix by Michael Schwern] | |
3446 | ||
3447 | - Internally we now use the multi-argument form of system() to run | |
3448 | external commands (such as 'diff' or 'cc') whenever possible (and | |
3449 | whenever we can't avoid system() altogether). Note that this | |
3450 | means we have to handle splitting some strings (such as | |
3451 | $Config{ccflags}) into argument lists like the shell would, which | |
3452 | is a drag. However, the alternative would be to handle shell | |
3453 | quoting of all arguments to commands ourselves, which is an even | |
3454 | bigger drag across platforms and involves arbitrary filenames and | |
3455 | so on. | |
3456 | ||
3457 | - To handle the argument splitting mentioned above, a method | |
3458 | split_like_shell() has been created. So far it's just doing naive | |
3459 | processing. In practice, I've yet to actually see a %Config entry | |
3460 | that uses quotes & spaces, so the splitting task is usually not | |
3461 | very error-prone. | |
3462 | ||
3463 | - The 'test' action now takes a 'test_files' parameter, similar to | |
3464 | the (undocumented) ExtUtils::MakeMaker TEST_FILES argument. Handy | |
3465 | during development when fixing bugs. | |
3466 | ||
3467 | - Internally, the rscan_dir() method can now accept a predicate | |
3468 | function that decides whether a file/directory should be matched. | |
3469 | ||
3470 | - We now issue a warning message when the author hasn't specified a | |
3471 | license type. | |
3472 | ||
3473 | 0.13 Wed Nov 20 20:07:53 AEST 2002 | |
3474 | ||
3475 | - 'cleanup' file lists are now written immediately, rather than at | |
3476 | program termination. This helps avoid "phantom files" that don't | |
3477 | get handled by the 'realclean' action. The internal | |
3478 | write_cleanup() method (which was never documented) is now gone. | |
3479 | ||
3480 | - The 'blib/' directory is now properly cleaned up in more (all?) | |
3481 | circumstances. Previously it could become a phantom if | |
3482 | create_build_script() was never called. | |
3483 | ||
3484 | - Now scan the 'c_source' directory for .cpp (C++) files as well as | |
3485 | .c files, and compiles them. | |
3486 | ||
3487 | - Use a 'phony' target for 'make manifest' in the pass-through | |
3488 | Makefile, for the same reason as 'make install' (see version 0.12 | |
3489 | notes below). | |
3490 | ||
3491 | - Module::Build::Compat now accepts any known Config.pm key and | |
3492 | passes it through to the Build.PL. Fixes a problem with CPANPLUS, | |
3493 | which was passing INSTALLMAN1DIR. | |
3494 | ||
3495 | - The file 'META.yaml' has been re-named to 'META.yml' in order to | |
3496 | cooperate better with systems that can only handle 3 characters | |
3497 | after the dot. | |
3498 | ||
3499 | - The t/xs.t test should give more informative error messages upon | |
3500 | failure. | |
3501 | ||
3502 | 0.12 Thu Nov 14 18:31:47 AEST 2002 | |
3503 | ||
3504 | - The META.yaml file was erroneously looking for 'build_depends' | |
3505 | instead of 'build_requires'. [spotted by Iain Truskett] | |
3506 | ||
3507 | - Add prompt() and y_n() methods for use in Build.PLs | |
3508 | ||
3509 | - Do more to work with all versions of Test::Harness when setting | |
3510 | the TEST_VERBOSE flag and running under the debugger [patch by | |
3511 | Dave Rolsky] | |
3512 | ||
3513 | - Include a test for verbosity handling | |
3514 | ||
3515 | - Make sure the blib/ directory is always cleaned up with the | |
3516 | 'clean' or 'realclean' action. | |
3517 | ||
3518 | - In a pass-through Makefile.PL, inform 'make' that 'install' is a | |
3519 | "fake target", so that it works properly on case-insensitive | |
3520 | filesystems like HFS+ with distributions that contain an INSTALL | |
3521 | file. [patch by Brian Ingerson] | |
3522 | ||
3523 | - In Module::Build::Compat, show an example Makefile.PL that can | |
3524 | install Module::Build and re-invoke itself in one fell swoop [Dave | |
3525 | Rolsky and Autrijus Tang] | |
3526 | ||
3527 | - Improve the formatting of the Module::Build and | |
3528 | Module::Build::Compat documentation. | |
3529 | ||
3530 | 0.11 Fri Aug 23 18:50:46 AEST 2002 | |
3531 | ||
3532 | - 'module_version' and 'module_version_from' have been replaced by | |
3533 | 'dist_version' and 'dist_version_from', which is what they really | |
3534 | meant in the first place. 'dist_name' has been added. | |
3535 | ||
3536 | - 'module_name' is now just a way to set 'dist_name' and | |
3537 | 'dist_version_from' in a convenient way. | |
3538 | ||
3539 | - The 'name' in META.yaml is now the distribution name, not the | |
3540 | (incorrect) module name. [spotted by Graham Barr] | |
3541 | ||
3542 | - Added the check_installed_status() and prereq_failures() methods | |
3543 | for checking prerequisite information with the programmatic | |
3544 | interface | |
3545 | ||
3546 | - check_installed_version() now uses check_installed_status() | |
3547 | internally | |
3548 | ||
3549 | - Documented the create_build_script() method, which had escaped | |
3550 | documentation. | |
3551 | ||
3552 | - create_build_script() now writes prerequisite information to the | |
3553 | _build/ directory, for use by Module::Build::Compat. | |
3554 | ||
3555 | - Module::Build::Compat has documentation for a safer way to write a | |
3556 | dummy Makefile.PL. [patch by Autrijus Tang] | |
3557 | ||
3558 | 0.10 Wed Aug 7 19:36 2002 | |
3559 | - Recommend YAML 0.35 instead of 0.30. | |
3560 | ||
3561 | - Don't die during 'Build disttest' if YAML isn't installed. This | |
3562 | fixes tests 5-10 in runthrough.t if YAML isn't installed. | |
3563 | ||
3564 | - Die if an unknown license type is used, but still default to | |
3565 | 'unknown' if no license is specified. | |
3566 | ||
3567 | - Use YAML::DumpFile() if we're using a recent YAML, | |
3568 | YAML::StoreFile() otherwise. | |
3569 | ||
3570 | - Show specific error messages in runthrough.t. | |
3571 | ||
3572 | - Add a generated_by entry to the META.yaml file. | |
3573 | ||
3574 | - Skip a few tests if YAML isn't installed. | |
3575 | ||
3576 | 0.09 Fri Jun 28 11:07:08 EST 2002 | |
3577 | ||
3578 | - The 'distdir' action wasn't deleting the distribution directory | |
3579 | before building it again. This meant that, say, if you did 'Build | |
3580 | disttest' then 'Build dist', you'd end up with a blib/ directory | |
3581 | in your distribution. I actually had this happen for version | |
3582 | 0.08, and it's not nice to distribute a blib/ on CPAN. | |
3583 | ||
3584 | - We now keep track of the 'base_dir', i.e. the top-level build | |
3585 | directory, so we can change back into it if we change out of it. | |
3586 | This necessitated a cwd() method, which uses the Cwd.pm module. | |
3587 | I'm aware of Cwd's limitations, particularly under taint-mode, but | |
3588 | I don't know a way around using it here. | |
3589 | ||
3590 | - The 'dist_dir' action now changes back into 'base_dir' directory. | |
3591 | ||
3592 | - We now do write_config() inside the create_build_script() method, | |
3593 | not inside the new() method. | |
3594 | ||
3595 | - Simplified the find_version() method, and improved its error | |
3596 | messages. | |
3597 | ||
3598 | - Renamed module_name_to_file() to find_module_by_name(), and added | |
3599 | a parameter specifying the directories to search in. Previously | |
3600 | we searched in 'lib' and @INC, which wasn't correct in all | |
613f422f | 3601 | situations. |
738349a8 SH |
3602 | |
3603 | - Patched the docs to change "Build test" to "./Build test" | |
3604 | [Elizabeth Mattijsen] | |
3605 | ||
3606 | 0.08 Wed Jun 26 20:30:56 EST 2002 | |
3607 | ||
3608 | - Fixed the 'prereq' alias for the 'requires' parameter | |
3609 | ||
3610 | - Added some tests in t/basic.t to test the dependency checking | |
3611 | ||
3612 | - Added 'artistic' as a licensing option [Arthur Bergman] | |
3613 | ||
3614 | - Fixed some bugs in requires/prereq/recommends/conflicts/build_depends | |
3615 | ||
3616 | - Fixed a typo in the 'distclean' action that prevented its | |
3617 | execution [Arthur Bergman] | |
3618 | ||
3619 | - Separated the linking phase of building XS items into its own | |
3620 | link_c() method. Its interface is still unstable, so it's not | |
3621 | documented yet. [suggested by Arthur Bergman] | |
3622 | ||
3623 | 0.07 Jun 9 2002 15:46 | |
3624 | ||
3625 | - We now generate a 'META.yaml' metadata file during 'Build dist'. | |
3626 | This can be very useful for lots of things, none of which are | |
3627 | implemented yet. | |
3628 | ||
3629 | - Added a 'dynamic_config' parameter, defaulting to false. This | |
3630 | lets distribution systems (CPAN.pm, etc.) build, test, and install | |
3631 | "easy" modules without having to execute the Build.PL at runtime. | |
3632 | It's also a guarantee that the list of dependencies is exactly | |
3633 | what is present in the metadata file, and won't be changed during | |
3634 | the build process. | |
3635 | ||
3636 | - Added support for "recommended" and "build-time requirement" | |
3637 | modules, besides those that are absolutely required. Also added a | |
3638 | "conflicts" field. | |
3639 | ||
3640 | - Changed the 'prereq' field to 'requires' (the old name will | |
3641 | continue to work). | |
3642 | ||
3643 | - Added support for checking the installed version of perl as an | |
3644 | explicit dependency. | |
3645 | ||
3646 | - Added a 'license' parameter to specify one of a fixed number of | |
3647 | licenses for the distribution. | |
3648 | ||
3649 | - Fixed a bug in Module::Build::Compat that was preventing arguments | |
3650 | from being processed properly. [patch by Ilya Martynov] | |
3651 | ||
3652 | - Make sure we're in the right directory when we write the cleanup | |
3653 | file, since various ExtUtils::Install errors might leave us in an | |
3654 | unknown directory. [patch by Ilya Martynov] | |
3655 | ||
3656 | - Specified the 'license', 'recommends', and 'dynamic_config' | |
3657 | values in Build.PL, and changed 'prereq' to 'requires'. | |
3658 | ||
3659 | 0.06 Apr 2 2002 17:44 | |
3660 | ||
3661 | - Added the Module::Build::Compat module for assisting and | |
3662 | explaining compatibility with ExtUtils::Makemaker and cohorts. | |
3663 | ||
3664 | - State is now saved using Data::Dumper instead of my ad-hoc | |
3665 | mechanism, guaranteeing data integrity. Whitespace values broke | |
3666 | in the former scheme. | |
3667 | ||
3668 | - Added the 'recommended' option, which works like 'prereq' but | |
3669 | isn't insistent. | |
3670 | ||
3671 | - Separated the various parameters into three groups: parameters | |
3672 | that tell Module::Build what to do, Config.pm parameters, and | |
3673 | user-defined parameters for each build (the module author is the | |
3674 | 'user' here). This helps avoid conflicts between names, and it | |
3675 | was silly to have them all together. The three groups of | |
3676 | parameters are subject to the same rules for overriding: values | |
3677 | specified during a Build action take precedence over values | |
3678 | specified at 'perl Build.PL' time, which in turn take precedence | |
3679 | over values specified in the call to new(). | |
3680 | ||
3681 | - Improved support for .PL files. Any .PL file in the lib/ | |
3682 | directory or the directory specified by 'c_source' will now get | |
3683 | properly executed. I also added a 'PL_files' parameter that you | |
3684 | can use in case the .PL doesn't create an obviously-named output | |
3685 | file. | |
3686 | ||
3687 | - If a prerequisite condition is malformed, we now report a prereq | |
3688 | failure and say why. Previously we issued a warning and kept | |
3689 | going. | |
3690 | ||
3691 | ||
3692 | 0.05 10-Jan-2002 20:26 | |
3693 | - Added the Module::Build->subclass() method, which makes it easier to | |
3694 | make quick-and-dirty subclasses of Module::Build. | |
3695 | ||
3696 | - Reorganized the docs a bit. | |
3697 | ||
3698 | - Added the 'testdb' action, and the 'debugger=1' argument to the | |
3699 | 'test' action, both of which run tests under the perl | |
3700 | debugger. (idea: Dave Rolsky) | |
3701 | ||
3702 | - Added prerequisite checking (Dave Rolsky) | |
3703 | ||
3704 | - Fixed an unlikely-to-occur bug with misquoted strings in the | |
3705 | 'Build' script (spot: Dave Rolsky) | |
3706 | ||
3707 | - We're more careful about shush-ing warnings that | |
3708 | ExtUtils::Manifest might emit (Dave Rolsky) | |
3709 | ||
3710 | - The 'help' action now auto-generates the list of actions (Dave Rolsky) | |
3711 | ||
3712 | - Added the 'distcheck', 'skipcheck', 'distclean', 'distdir', and | |
3713 | 'disttest' actions (Dave Rolsky) | |
3714 | ||
3715 | - We're a little more aggressive about cleaning up temporary files - | |
3716 | we'll try to clean them up even when we don't have write permission | |
3717 | on them. This isn't as dastardly as it sounds; if we /really/ | |
3718 | don't have permission, we won't be able to remove them no matter | |
3719 | how hard we try. | |
3720 | ||
3721 | 0.04 Fri Nov 16 16:55 2001 | |
3722 | - Added a 'manifest' action. It's just like MakeMaker's 'make manifest', it | |
3723 | brings your MANIFEST file up to date with your distribution directory. | |
3724 | ||
3725 | - Reorganized some of the responsibilities of various methods, which | |
3726 | allows modules to be built and tested programmatically. | |
3727 | ||
3728 | - The 'clean' action will now clean up files that were created more | |
3729 | recently than the on-disk cleanup registry was written. | |
3730 | ||
3731 | - Undefined values from Config.pm are handled correctly now. | |
3732 | ||
3733 | - The dispatch() method will now accept explicit dispatch | |
3734 | parameters, for use in a programmatic setting. | |
3735 | ||
3736 | - $ENV{TEST_VERBOSE} will be set in test scripts if the 'verbose=1' | |
3737 | parameter is set. | |
3738 | ||
3739 | - Moved the test.pl script to t/basic.t | |
3740 | ||
3741 | - Created the t/xs.t script, which tests building a module with a | |
3742 | .xs component. | |
3743 | ||
3744 | - Fixed the loading of $^O-specific modules (there were no such | |
3745 | modules before). | |
3746 | ||
3747 | - Added a 'darwin' platform module, which removes -flat_namespace | |
3748 | from $Config{ccflags} while building .xs modules (it's a linker | |
3749 | flag, not a compiler flag). | |
3750 | ||
3751 | - Now uses $^W instead of the 'warnings' pragma, which apparently | |
3752 | provides compatibility with perl 5.005 (I've only tested it with | |
3753 | 5.6.x myself). | |
3754 | ||
3755 | - If a file called C<visual.pl> exists in the top-level directory, | |
3756 | this file will be executed as a Perl script during 'Build test' and | |
3757 | its output will be shown to the user. This is a good place to put | |
3758 | speed tests or other tests that don't use the C<Test::Harness> format | |
3759 | for output. | |
3760 | ||
3761 | - The 'Build install' step will now put .xs-related things in the | |
3762 | correct architecture-dependent libraries. | |
3763 | ||
3764 | - Added the 'autosplit' option, even though I think autosplitting is | |
3765 | a load of hooie. | |

3768 | - The 'perl Build.PL' step will now detect whether the current | |
3769 | environment is "unixish", "windowsish", etc., and load the correct | |
3770 | module (i.e. Module::Build::Platform::Unix). More specific | |
3771 | modules may also be written for particular values of $^O. | |
3772 | ||
3773 | - Module::Build will now process any .xs files in the lib/ | |
3774 | directory. Please let me know whether this works or not with your | |
3775 | distribution & platform. I'll be trying out various distributions | |
3776 | on my platform. | |
3777 | ||
3778 | - Corrected some embarassing errors in the POD documentation. Also | |
3779 | added a long documentation section on the various build actions | |
3780 | (test, install, build, etc.) and added some neato ASCII art. | |
3781 | ||
3782 | - Added a 'cleanup' mechanism - any method may call the | |
3783 | $self->add_to_cleanup(@files) method to register files which need | |
3784 | to be cleaned up during 'Build clean'. | |
3785 | ||
3786 | - Added a 'Build help' action that gives a little syntax help, and | |
3787 | lists all the actions available. | |
3788 | ||
3789 | - Fixed a bug in which 'blib/' wasn't properly being added to @INC | |
3790 | when running 'Build test'. | |
3791 | ||
3792 | - For the 'Build dist' action, we'll use the 'tar' and 'gzip' | |
3793 | programs (as specified by Config.pm) on Unix platforms, otherwise | |
3794 | we'll use Archive::Tar and Compress::Zlib. | |

3797 | - Added POD documentation. | |
3798 | ||
3799 | - Added the 'install', 'fakeinstall', and 'dist' actions. | |
3800 | ||
3801 | - new() will now determine version string based on 'module_version', or | |
3802 | 'module_version_from', or 'module_name', in that order. | |
3803 | ||
3804 | - Module::Build::Base handles its file paths in a platform-independent | |
3805 | way, using the File:: modules | |
