Updated Module::Build to 0.35_08

0.35_08 - Mon Nov 16 22:38:28 EST 2009

 Bug fixes:

 - Multiple tests were failing due to dependency problems.  Author
   dependencies have been largely removed from core 'requires' into
   optional features.  Feature prereq detection and messaging have been
   expanded and bugs on older Perls have been removed.

0.35_07 - Sat Nov 14 17:14:39 EST 2009

 Bug fixes:

 - 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]

0.35_06 - Fri Nov 13 14:51:28 EST 2009

 Enhancements:

 - Added experimental inc/ bundling; see Module::Build::Bundling for
   details.  [David Golden and Eric Wilhelm]

 - 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) [David Golden]

 Bug fixes:

 - 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]

 - Made MYMETA generation non-fatal if fields required for META.yml
   are missing [David Golden]

 - Added Pod::Simple to requirements for manpage support; avoids
   problems if a user has a broken Pod::Man/Pod::Simple.  (RT#50081)
   [David Golden]

 - Won't die if installed Pod::Readme is broken [David Golden]

 Other:

 - Fixed Module::Build::Notes POD [David Golden]

 - Some commands had become silent by default, so added a few short status
   messages so users know something actually happened [David Golden]

 - Cleaned up Changes file formatting [David Golden]

 - Removed most PERL_CORE customizations from test files due to
   reorganization of dual-life modules in core (RT#49522) [David Golden]

0.35_05 - Wed Oct 28 17:20:59 EDT 2009

 Bug fixes:

 - Fix test failure in t/actions/installdeps.t when $^X is not the default
   perl [David Golden]

 - Work around $VERSION numbers in ActiveState with multiple underscores
   that prevent Module::Build from installing on Win32 [David Golden]

 - Fix bug cleaning compatibility Makefile when older ExtUtils::Manifest is
   installed [David Golden with help from David Cantrell]

 Other:

 - Suppressed more warnings from tests [David Golden]

 - Add provisional support for 'package NAME VERSION' syntax added in
   Perl 5.11.1 [David Golden]

0.35_04 - Fri Oct 23 11:20:41 EDT 2009

 Bug fixes:

 - Fix test failure if IPC::Cmd isn't installed [David Golden]

 Other:

 - Suppressed warning messages from various tests [David Golden]

0.35_03 - Wed Oct 21 21:20:59 EDT 2009

 *** API CHANGE ***

 - The prepare_metadata() method used to take a YAML::Node object as an
   argument for modification.  The method now takes no arguments and just
   returns a hash reference of metadata. [David Golden]

 Enhancements

 - Command line options may be set via the PERL_MB_OPT environment
   variable (similar to PERL_MM_OPT in ExtUtils::MakeMaker)

 Bug fixes:

 - Updated PPM generation to PPM v4 (RT#49600) [Olivier Mengue]

 - When c_source is specified, the directory scan will include additional,
   less-common C++ extensions (RT49298) [David Golden]

 - 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]

 - Bumped IO::File prereq to fix binmode failures in PPMMaker on Perl
   prior to 5.8.8 [David Golden]

 Other:

 - Replaced use of YAML.pm with YAML::Tiny; Module::Build::YAML is now
   based on YAML::Tiny as well [David Golden]

 - Reduced amount of console output under normal operation (use --verbose
   to see all output) [David Golden]

0.35_02 - Mon Sep  7 22:37:42 EDT 2009

 Enhancements:

 - Added 'needs_compiler' property.  Defaults to true if XS or c_source
   exist.  If true, ExtUtils::CBuilder is also added to build_requires.
   [David Golden]

 - File::ShareDir automatically added to 'requires' if 'share_dir' is set
   [David Golden]

 - Added 'Build installdeps' action to install needed dependencies via
   a user-configurable command line program.  (Defaults to 'cpan'.)
   [Eric Wilhelm]

 Bug fixes:

 - 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]

 - Fixed directory sorting failure in share_dir.t [David Golden]

 - Property defaults that are data structures were being assigned as
   references to new objects. Changed so that defaults are cloned instead.
   (This mostly affects testing, which often creates multiple objects in the
   same process) [David Golden]

 - Simplified error message on exit under use_tap_harness [suggested by
   David Wheeler]

 - Fixed typemap search to use a dist-level typemap if a typemap is not
   found in the directory with the *.xs file; (was manifesting as warnings
   in Perl 5.6 tests) [David Golden]

 Other:

 - 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) [David
   Golden, Eric Wilhelm, Ken Williams]

 - Revised test helper classes to fix potential bugs and add new features
   to make writing tests simpler and easier.  Changes incorporated into
   t/README.pod and t/sample.t as examples for new testing. [David Golden]

0.35_01 - Mon Aug 31 12:11:10 EDT 2009

 Enhancements:

 - Generates MYMETA.yml during Build.PL (new standard protocol for
   communicating configuration results between toolchain components)
   [David Golden]

 - Added 'share_dir' property to provide File::ShareDir support;
   set automatically if a directory called 'share' exists
   [David Golden]

 Bug fixes:

 - Fix the t/destinations.t fix. [David Golden, with thanks to Eric Wilhelm]

 - Fix recursive test files in generated Makefile.PL (RT#49254) [Sawyer X]

 - Guard against trying :utf8 when :utf8 isn't available

 - 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]

 Other:

 - Added t/README.pod and t/sample.t to guide developers writing new tests
   [David Golden, with some code from Eric Wilhelm]

 - Module::Build::Compat 'passthrough' style has been deprecated.  Using
   'passthrough' will issue warnings on Makefile.PL generation.  See
   Module::Build::Compat documentation for rationale.
