+6.31 Mon Oct 9 16:54:47 PDT 2006
+ - Update our META.yml to version 1.2 of the spec.
+ * Update the SEE ALSO to mention Module::Build, Module::Install,
+ ExtUtils::ModuleMaker and Module::Starter.
+ - Fix ARCHITECTURE tag in PPD generation for 5.8 (patch taken from
+ ActiveState 819). [rt.cpan.org 20566]
+ * Bring ExtUtils::Manifest up to 1.48
+
+6.30_04 Mon Sep 11 16:14:06 EDT 2006
+ - EXTRA_META has been undocumented as I don't like the way the
+ interface works but I don't want to hold up 6.31. It will be
+ replaced with something better next version.
+ - Added explaination of distclean behavior and instructions on how to
+ blow away anything not in the MANIFEST to the FAQ.
+ * 6.30_01 broke overrides of PM. MakeMaker would add to a user
+ suplied PM rather than simply accepting it.
+ * Document INSTALL_BASE.
+ * Added "How do I install a module into my home directory?" to the FAQ
+ * Added "How do I get MakeMaker and Module::Build to install to the
+ same place?"
+ - Moving ExtUtils::Mksymlists and ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap back into
+ lib/ because no independent distribution has taken them over.
+
+6.30_03 Fri Sep 1 17:03:11 EDT 2006
+ - Minor fix to Command.t for Win32.
+
+6.30_02 Fri Sep 1 15:03:55 EDT 2006
+ - Updated to ExtUtils::Install 1.41
+ * Won't scan for and build man pages when MAN3PODS is deliberately set
+ empty.
+ - Minor VMS fixes. [bleadperl@26813]
+ - VMS->one_liner must quote "--" argument. [bleadperl@27613]
+ * Split INSTALLSCRIPT into INSTALLSCRIPT, INSTALLSITESCRIPT and
+ INSTALLVENDORSCRIPT so it now honors INSTALLDIRS. [bleadperl@26536]
+ - Minor fix to work with Pod::man 2.04. [bleadperl@26457]
+ - $Revision was broken.
+ - Updated our internal version of Test::More to catch a few warnings.
+ - ExtUtils::Command::test_f() test was broken.
+ - Clarified that test_f() exits.
+
+6.30_01 Tue Aug 16 23:53:27 PDT 2005
+ * Fixed compiling modules using an uninstalled Perl on Win32 by using
+ the proper perl header location for Windows (which is different from
+ Unix). Looks like a very old bug. [bugs.perl.org 36128]
+ - $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Revision accidentally left in a stray "Revision".
+ [thanks pdx.pm for noticing this]
+ - Fixed the $VERSION = $Revision$ example in the MakeMaker docs and the
+ FAQ. [thanks again, pdx.pm]
+ - Elaborated on the differences between CVS, SVN and others when using
+ $Revision$ based $VERSIONs.
+ * ExtUtils::Command, ExtUtils::Install, ExtUtils::Manifest,
+ ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap, ExtUtils::Mksymlists and ExtUtils::Packlist
+ are all now considered to be separate distributions. To avoid a
+ circular dependency, MakeMaker distributes its own versions but CPAN
+ should not index them and they will not overwrite a newer, installed
+ version.
+ * Added EXTRA_META option to allow module authors to append extra
+ text to the generated META.yml.
+ * Added a LICENSE field mirroring Module::Build's license.
+ * META.yml support updated to version 1.1. All required fields
+ now generated. (NOTE: 1.1 isn't yet complete but we're going with
+ it anyway. MakeMaker uses "author" instead of "authored_by" as its
+ expected the former will be used in 1.1 final).
+ * Non-conforming version_from and installdirs META.yml fields removed.
+ * META.yml distribution_type field now intelligent enough to guess at
+ the type rather than hard code 'module'.
+ * INSTALLBASE changed to INSTALL_BASE to match Module::Build.
+ * Added a MAKE parameter for Windows users to say if they're using
+ dmake or nmake.
+
+6.30 Fri May 20 16:05:38 PDT 2005
+ * PL_FILES behavior tweak again to restore old behavior. Sometimes its
+ supposed to run before pm_to_blib, sometimes after.
+ - Some tests shipped with 'no_plan' which will break on older
+ Test::Harness.
+
+6.29 Thu May 19 14:15:21 PDT 2005
+ * The behavior of PL_FILES is restored to its pre-6.26 behavior as several
+ CPAN modules depend on this. PL programs run via PL_FILES have
+ INST_LIB and INST_ARCH in their @INC and so can load any just built
+ modules.
+ - Now honors PERL_CORE environment variable.
+ - Testing to ensure FIRST_MAKEFILE is honored.
+
+6.28 Tue Apr 12 16:17:07 PDT 2005
+ - Fix realclean so it cleans up files installed from ext/ in the core
+ - Fix dir_target() so it doesn't warn should any of the INST_* paths
+ be the same (as with the ext/ modules in the core)
+ - Fix MANIFEST.SKIP so it skips not just _darcs/ but everything inside
+ it and any which happen to be in subdirs.
+ - MM_AIX forgot to import neatvalue() from E::MakeMaker.
+ (bleadperl@24185)
+ - Fixed a minor C<<>> POD nit (Scott Lanning)
+
+6.27 Mon Apr 4 16:36:14 PDT 2005
+ * Added _darcs to the list of revision control administrative
+ directories skipped both in libscan and in MANIFEST.SKIP.
+
+6.26_01 Mon Mar 28 21:34:39 PST 2005
+ * PL_FILES was broken in the last release. The .PL files were not being
+ passed the file they were to generate.
+ * How PL_FILES runs the programs and what it does with the value is
+ now documented.
+ * The default behavior of PL_FILES is now documented.
+
+6.26 Mon Mar 21 20:36:22 PST 2005
+
+6.25_12 Fri Mar 18 16:15:35 PST 2005
+ - Use the generic dmake search.cpan.org URL in the README so the newest
+ version is found.
+ - Fixed pm_to_blib trouble on VMS introduced in 6.25_10.
+
+6.25_11 Tue Mar 15 02:00:20 PST 2005
+ - Fixed minor parent class dependency loop in ExtUtils::MM_Any.
+ - Fixed a circular dependency on processed PL files introduced as part
+ of RT 6460 in 6.25_02.
+
+6.25_10 Sun Mar 13 16:14:04 PST 2005
+ - pm_to_blib.ts is gone, back to pm_to_blib (except on VMS). I
+ couldn't make it work and still retain backwards compatibility.
+ This fixes the recompilation problems that plagued _09 and various
+ previous alpha releases.
+
+6.25_09 Sat Mar 12 10:10:34 PST 2005
+ - Stubbing out PASTHRU on VMS. $(MMSQUALIFIERS) should do the equivalent
+ and better.
+ - Added test to check for the existence of a compiler so XS tests are
+ now possible.
+
+6.25_08 Tue Feb 8 09:04:36 EST 2005
+ - Fixing xsubpp on VMS. Had a foo/bar path in it.
+ - Turning XSUBPP into a runable command by the addition of PERLRUN
+ made it unusable as a dependency. Added XSUBPPRUN for that and left
+ XSUBPP alone.
+ - Removed DESTDIR from PASTHRU as install is not recursive and it can
+ make commands too long on VMS.
+ - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. Using
+ .exists files everywhere.
+ - Restore missing *.Opt clean on VMS.
+ - Fix .exists files accidentally getting caught in static builds.
+ - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all.
+ - Add Interix support (bleadperl@33892)
+ - distsign target changed to distsignature to avoid clash with
+ Module::Install
+
+6.25_07 Fri Dec 31 03:47:20 EST 2004
+ - perllocal on VMS was inserting executables twice.
+ - No longer using $(IGNORE) macro. Turns out MMS/K was not honoring
+ it. Using "-$(NOECHO) command" which seems to make everybody happy.
+ - Executables with no extension weren't getting installed on VMS due to
+ a bug in rename(). Broken sometime in this series of alphas.
+
+6.25_06 Sun Dec 26 17:21:37 EST 2004
+ - Forgot to define BOOTDEP macro.
+ - .exists files are back. Directories cannot be used directly as
+ targets as their mod time changes too frequently.
+ * Added INSTALLBASE as an alternative to PREFIX but haven't documented
+ it yet. I'll do that next release.
+
+6.25_05 Wed Dec 22 07:59:02 EST 2004
+ - One of the 6.25 alphas broke BSD make. It doesn't like "- @ command".
+ Fixed by adding an $(IGNORE) macro.
+ - 6.25 alphas caused a Makefile to be added to the dist. Fixed.
+ - The new cd() code needed to be dependent on dmake or nmake for
+ Windows. Not Win9x vs WinNT/XP.
+
+6.25_04 Tue Dec 21 00:53:06 EST 2004
+ - 6.25_03 was always rebuilding XS modules.
+
+6.25_03 Mon Dec 20 23:04:22 EST 2004
+ - dir_target() is back. Now each directory to be created has its own
+ target like before, but no more .exists or blibdirs.ts files. This
+ ensures that each blib directory is created as necessary and fixes
+ things like SVN's perl bindings.
+
+6.25_02 Mon Dec 20 03:31:49 EST 2004
+ - Set PM_FILTER as late as possible so it can see all the earlier
+ macro definitions. Necessary for challenged make implementations
+ like nmake. Should fix Mail::SpamAssassin installs on Win32.
+ [rt.cpan.org 4545]
+ - clean and realclean are now more careful about accidentally deleting
+ directories instead of files. [rt.cpan.org 6851]
+ - small fix for parallel builds, make sure pm_to_blib has run before
+ we try to use stuff in blib. [rt.cpan.org 6460]
+ - MAKEFILE=foo appears to have been broken for recursive builds and
+ several other things. I think this was broken by 6.18.
+
+6.25_01 Fri Dec 17 21:29:04 EST 2004
+ * *.bak added to the default MANIFEST.SKIP.
+ * META.yml will no longer be generated in the build directory. It will
+ only appear in the distdir. This should make it easier on developers,
+ they don't have to worry about checking the file in all the time.
+ * Similarly, the SIGNATURE file will not be updated in the build
+ directory. It will only be generated in the distdir.
+ - A bunch of redundant Win9x and VMS code removed.
+ - 'make test' on Windows no longer pre-expands its list of test files.
+ This caused problems on large distributions like bioperl. Thanks to
+ Tim Bunce for suggesting the obvious fix.
+
6.25 Wed Dec 15 06:59:46 EST 2004
- Build.PL was being considered like Module_pm.PL. Build.PL is now
ignored. [radek@karnet.pl] [rt.cpan.org 8809]
