Revision history for Perl extension Module::Build.
+0.36 - Sun Dec 20 15:02:38 EST 2009
+
+No changes from 0.35_15 other than the version number.
+
+Summary of major changes since 0.35:
+
+ Enhancements:
+
+ - Added 'Build installdeps' action to install needed dependencies via
+ a user-configurable command line program. (Defaults to 'cpan'.)
+
+ - Command line options may be set via the PERL_MB_OPT environment
+ variable (similar to PERL_MM_OPT in ExtUtils::MakeMaker)
+
+ - Generates MYMETA.yml during Build.PL (new standard protocol for
+ communicating configuration results between toolchain components)
+
+ - Reduced amount of console output under normal operation (use --verbose
+ to see all output)
+
+ - Added experimental inc/ bundling; see Module::Build::Bundling for
+ details.
+
+ New or changed properties:
+
+ - Added 'share_dir' property to provide File::ShareDir support;
+ File::ShareDir automatically added to 'requires' if 'share_dir' is set
+
+ - Added 'needs_compiler' property. Defaults to true if XS or c_source
+ exist. If true, ExtUtils::CBuilder is also added to build_requires.
+
+ - 'C_support' is no longer an optional feature. Modern ExtUtils::CBuilder
+ and ExtUtils::ParseXS added to the 'requires' list. This ensures that
+ upgrading Module::Build will upgrade these critical modules.
+
+ - Clarified that 'apache' in the license attribute indicates the Apache
+ License 2.0 and added 'apache_1_1' for the older version of the license
+ (RT#50614)
+
+ Deprecations:
+
+ - Module::Build::Compat 'passthrough' style has been deprecated. Using
+ 'passthrough' will issue warnings on Makefile.PL generation. See
+ Module::Build::Compat documentation for rationale.
+
+ Internals:
+
+ - Replaced use of YAML.pm with YAML::Tiny; Module::Build::YAML is now
+ based on YAML::Tiny as well
+
+ - A new get_metadata() method has been added as a simpler wrapper around
+ the old, kludgy prepare_metadata() API.
+
+ - Replaced guts of new_from_context(). Build.PL is now executed in a
+ separate process before resume() is called. (This is generally only of
+ interest to Module::Build or toolchain developers) (RT#49350)
+
+ - Add support for 'package NAME VERSION' syntax added in Perl 5.11.1
+
+ Notable bug fixes:
+
+ - The "test" action now dies when using the 'use_tap_harness'
+ option and tests fail, matching the behavior under Test::Harness.
+ (RT#49080) [initial patch from David Wheeler; revised by David Golden]
+
+ - Updated PPM generation to PPM v4 (RT#49600) [Olivier Mengue]
+
+ - When module_name is not supplied, no packlist was being written; fixed
+ by guessing module_name from dist_version_from or the directory name
+ (just like ExtUtils::Manifest does without NAME) [David Golden]
+
+ - Failure to detect a compiler will now warn during Build.PL and be a
+ fatal error when trying to compile during Build. (RT#48918) [David
+ Golden]
+
+ - Auto-detection of abstract and author fixed for mixed-case POD headers
+ (RT#51117) [David Wheeler]
+
+ - resume() was not restoring additions to @INC added in Build.PL
+ (RT#50145) [David Golden]
+
+ - When tarball paths are less than 100 characters, disables 'prefix'
+ mode of Archive::Tar for maximum compatibility (RT#50571) [David Golden]
+
+ - Merging 'requires' and 'build_requires' in Module::Build::Compat could
+ lead to duplicate PREREQ_PM entries; now the highest version is used
+ for PREREQ_PM. (RT#50948) [David Golden]
+
+ - Module::Build::Compat will now die with an error if advanced,
+ non-numeric prerequisites are given, as these are not supported by
+ ExtUtils::MakeMaker in PREREQ_PM [David Golden]
