Revision history for Perl extension Module::Build.
+ - All .pm files in the Module-Build distribution (except for
+ M::B::Version.pm, which is kind of tied to version.pm) now have the
+ same $VERSION number explicitly specified.
+
+ - When checking prerequisites, the required version of perl is now
+ checked before we start finding the $VERSION declaration of the
+ distribution, which results in much more intuitive error messages
+ e.g. if the author is using 5.6-isms in their declaration but the
+ user doesn't have 5.6. [Slaven Rezic]
+
+ - Added 'artistic_2' license, corrected 'lgpl' license url (bug #29783)
+ [David Thomas]
+
+ - VMS find_perl_interpreter() is just $^X (bug #29810) [Craig A. Berry]
+
+ - Some large VMS fixes, mostly having to do with the non-case-
+ preserving nature of most VMS filesystems, but also correcting for
+ illegal characters in VMS file specs. [John E. Malmberg and Craig
+ A. Berry]
+
+ - Fixed the _detildefy() method on VMS. [John E. Malmberg and Craig
+ A. Berry]
+
+ - We now use a much more reliable method when Data::Dumper-ing saved
+ state data. [Yves]
+
+ - When a module had 0.000 as its version, a few places in the code
+ thought the module had no version at all. This is now
+ fixed. [Andrew "Zefram" Main]
+
+ - When finding the default set of script_files, we now compute them
+ as relative paths, not absolute. [Spotted by Curtis "Ovid" Poe]
+
+ - Got rid of a call to eliminate_macros, which isn't needed in
+ Module::Build since there is no external make utility involved.
+ Override expand_test_dir to make up for the fact that the
+ home-grown glob() returns absolute, not relative, paths. [Craig
+ A. Berry]
+
+ - Fixed a catdir() that needed to be catfile() in the .packlist
+ creation code. [John E. Malmberg]
+
+ - If a *.PL file ended abnormally during the build, processing should
+ have stopped, but it didn't. Fixed. [Matthew Cast and David
+ Golden]
+
+ - Module::Build::Compat adds "require 5.XXXXX" to Makefile.PL when
+ 'perl' is specified as a 'requires' prerequisite [David Golden]
+
+ - Refactored t/compat.t for modularity and transparency; added
+ labels for all tests; supressed subprocess output to
+ STDOUT and STDERR [David Golden]
+
+ - Fixed bug in perl_version_to_float when version is already a float
+ [David Golden]
+
+ - Removed a mention of $build->{config} from the documentation, the
+ official interface to Config.pm settings is now via the
+ $build->config() and has been for some time. [Suggested by Michael
+ Schwern]
+
+ - Tweaked some text in the Cookbook to bring it into the modern age,
+ and added a recipe for accessing Config.pm settings. [Ibid]
+
+ - Lots of POD link/readability improvements to the Module::Build::API
+ documentation [Salve J. Nilsen]
+
+ - Added configure_requires as a new type of prereq. [Suggested by Adam
+ Kennedy]
+
+ - Patch 31156 from bleadperl: some filename dot and extension help
+ for Module::Build on VMS. [Craig Berry]
+
+ - Reworked the _detildefy() method so it doesn't depend on glob()
+ anymore. This gets rid of a problem with spaces or other special
+ shell characters in things like 'prefix' or 'install_path'
+ entries. [Prodding by Eric Wilhelm]
+
+ - Added midnightbsd to the list of Unix-like OSes we know about
+ [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
+
+0.2808 - Sat Apr 28 12:59:43 2007
+
+ - Added is_vmsish(), is_windowsish(), and is_unixish() boolean
+ convenience functions. Fixes some test failures on platforms where
+ $^O is set to a value we don't know about (like 'gnu').
+
+ - Upgraded to version.pm 0.7203. [John Peacock]
+
+ - Support get_action_docs() =head2 style. [ewilhelm]
+
+ - Workaround Test::Pod::Coverage @INC bug. [Eric Wilhelm]
+
+ - Fixed the command-line args --extra_compiler_flags and
+ --extra_linker_flags so they properly shell-split their arguments.
+
+0.2807 - Sat Mar 24 22:19:02 2007
+
+ - Upgraded to version.pm 0.71. [John Peacock]
+
+ - Removed a couple small constructs in the tests ("use warnings;" and
+ "qw$foo bar$[1]") that caused test failures under perl 5.005.
+
+ - Added support for an explicit default value of undef in prompt().
+ [Eric Wilhelm]
+
+ - Improved our prompt() method, which could sometimes hang before the
+ user got a chance to see a prompt. [Andreas Koenig]
+
+ - Added a note about --allow_mb_mismatch to the error message that
+ happens right before someone might want to use that parameter.
+
+ - Added DragonflyBSD to the list of known Unix OSes.
+
+ - get_action_docs() dies on error rather than twiddling $@
+
+ - Made ModuleInfo's _evaluate_version_line() compatible with 'use
+ version ...$VERSION' lines. [Eric Wilhelm]
+
+ - Added some verbiage in Module::Build::API that officially blesses
+ the _build/prereqs file for external consumption. [Suggested by Andreas Koenig]
+
+ - Added test profiles support via the test_types property and "testall"
+ target. [Eric Wilhelm, Jeff Lavallee]
+
+ - Use syscopy() on OS/2 in copy_if_modified() so we make sure to
+ overwrite any existing target file. [Ilya Zakharevich]
+
+ - Removed seemingly silly '~~' test in t/tilde.t.
+
+ - In our test-time utility library t/lib/MBTest.pm, we need to know
+ about a few .exe-like extensions on OS/2. [Ilya Zakharevich]
+
+ - In t/ppm.t, use DynaLoader::mod2fname() (if available) to determine
+ the correct translation of our test module's name into a DLL
+ name. [Ilya Zakharevich]
+
+ - Avoid an unlink() error on OS/2 when fixing shebang lines. [Ilya
+ Zakharevich]
+
+ - When we're protecting the world from the evils of long RedHat
+ $ENV{PERL5LIB} variables, don't assume $ENV{PERL5LIB} is already
+ defined. This gets rid of a huge number of warnings for some
+ people. [Dave Rolsky]
+
+0.2806 - Fri Dec 15 22:20:14 2006
+
+ - On some systems (haven't identified the actual problem yet)
+ $ENV{PERL5LIB} can grow to enormous enough sizes that we can't
+ launch any more subprocesses because the environment table is full.
+ This is the now-infamous "Couldn't run Build.PL: Argument list too
+ long" error. Now we detect such situations and trim the directory
+ list to only include directories that actually exist, listed only
+ once each. Not the ideal solution, but it should work.
+
+ - Silence a warning in M::B::ModuleInfo that happens when the author
+ is using the "$VERSION = eval $VERSION" idiom.
+
+ - When running the 'testcover' action, do "cover --delete" if any of
+ the test files have changed (we already did so if any of the code
+ under test has changed). [Suggested by Chris Dolan, RT #23584]
+
+ - Fixed a broken link in the documentation about PREFIX. [Spotted by
+ David Steinbrunner]
+
+ - Changes to do_system() & friends on VMS to get system calls working
+ much better there. [Craig Berry]
+
+ - Added the "pardist" target which creates a PAR binary distribution
+ akin to a PPM distribution. [Steffen Mueller]
+
+ - Added the Interix platform as a Unix variant. [Stephen Hartland]
+
+ - Improved the error message we emit when a distribution contains XS
+ files but the user has no C compiler. [Suggested by Andreas Koenig]
+
+0.2805_01 Thu Sep 7 21:57:29 CDT 2006
+
+ - Because of a weird behavior of YAML::Node, any distribution that
+ used version.pm objects to define their versions was generating the
+ wrong syntax for the versions in their META.yml file. They will
+ now appear as strings like v3.42.1 or similar, including the
+ leading v.
+
+ - Upgraded to version 0.67 of version.pm. [John Peacock]
+
+ - Added a contrib/ directory with a bash completion function for M::B
+ actions and switches. [Julian Mehnle]
+
+ - When we eval() the embedded version.pm code we will now die() if
+ the eval() was unsuccessful, rather than continuing blindly on and
+ dying mysteriously later.
+
+ - Added a 'retest' action that lets users run the current regression
+ tests on a previously-installed version of a distribution.
+
+ * Instead of storing an entire dump of the Config.pm hash in the
+ _build/ directory upon startup, we now just store any overrides the
+ user or author has specified. Note that if you were doing anything
+ you weren't supposed to be doing, like poking around in the
+ internals of $buld->{config}, your code might break, so I've put
+ the asterisk of incompatibility on this one just to cover my
+ tuchus. [Idea originally by Randy Sims]
+
+ - Made copying files via copy_if_modified() a little less chatty.
+
+0.2805 Sat Jul 29 22:01:24 CDT 2006
+
+ - We now embed a copy of version.pm right in the
+ Module::Build::Version source code, with John Peacock's blessing,
+ in case the user has a rough time installing version.pm. This
+ helps alleviate troubles people were still having with working out
+ a seemingly circular dependency (even though version.pm now ships
+ with a standard Makefile.PL too). A version.pm >= 0.661 installed
+ on the system will take precedence over our bundled one. [John
+ Peacock]
+
+ - Fix some test warnings (or failures?) related to version.pm
+ numification. [John Peacock]
+
+ - The top-level 'version' entry in META.yml files we'd generated was
+ in the wrong format (it was being treated as a version.pm object
+ rather than a serialized copy) due to a weird YAML::Node issue.
+ Fixed.
+
+ - Don't 'use base qw(version)' anymore in our M::B::Version wrapper,
+ just set @ISA directly, because some people have reported that the
+ 'use base' line is croaking.
+
+ - Added an 'allow_mb_mismatch' parameter to suppress the startup
+ check that ensures the version of M::B currently running is the
+ same as the one initially used to run the Build.PL. Use with
+ caution.
+
+ - Module::Build::ModuleInfo will no longer detect things that look
+ like $VERSION assignments after an __END__ or __DATA__ token.
+
+ - Updated documentation to mention the new mailing list on perl.org
+ rather than the old one on sourceforge.
+
+0.2804 Sun Jul 16 16:41:25 CDT 2006
+
+ - Added 'use version;' in Module::Build::Version, because some
+ versions of base.pm won't automatically load version.pm when we do
+ 'use base qw/version/;'. [Spotted by Erik Tank]
