Another big alpha release of MakeMaker. Here's the really interesting things... * All HTMLifying code has been removed. It never worked anyway. http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00153.html * 5.49_01 broke some modules like CPAN that make Naughty Assumptions about the ExtUtils::MakeMaker and MM (maybe because they're by the same author...) 5.50_01 has temporarily "fixed" that. * MakeMaker on DOS will now act more like Win32 instead of Unix. This gives MM a somewhat better chance of working on DOS. * Emacs backup files (ie. *~) are no longer copied into blib and thus installed. So you won't get Foo.pm~ installed after working on your module. * I've begun testing the actual build, test & installation of a basic module. Next version will include... * Syncing up with bleadperl (its drifted a lot). * More testing on VMS. Version after that will include... * Fixing PREFIX and LIB as discussed here: http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00157.html After that we make a stable release. 5.50_01 Mon Mar 4 23:44:48 EST 2002 *---> **API CHANGES!** <--- htmlifypods and all HTML targets have been removed. It didn't work properly. A target for HTMLifying of docs will be added sometime in the future (read: send a patch). - Deprecated ROOTEXT variable removed (its been deprecated for more than five years). * 5.49_01 broke anything that depended on the MM class to be loaded with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, like CPAN. Temporarily fixed. * Many places wrongfully assume MM methods can be called as class methods! Inside and outside of MakeMaker. * DOS now acts like Win32 instead of Unix. This should be less wrong. - Removed ExtUtils::Miniperl from the CPAN distribution. Can't see how its useful outside the core. * Emacs backup files (ie. *~) are no longer copied into blib (this means you won't get Foo.pm~ accidentally installed anymore). - prefixify() now returns if the prefixification worked or not. - Netware tweak from Ananth Kesari (perl change 14780) - added the Perl patchlevel info to the description embedded in DLLs (Ilya Zakharevich perl change 14810) * made the docs about the behavior of PREFIX a bit more vague reflecting its odd behavior. - Put PREFIX before LIB in the docs. - Replaced references to %Config with things people are more likely to understand in PREFIX & LIB docs. *---> Internal Refactorings - File::Spec wrappers consolidated in MM_Any - test_via_harness/script consolidated in MM_Any * Added ExtUtils::Command::MM to replace large -e "one-liners" * Added ExtUtils::MM_UWIN, took UWIN specific code out of MM_Unix. * Added ExtUtils::MM_DOS, took some DOS specific code out of MM_Unix - Added a dist() override to MM_OS2. - Took the OS/2 specific code out of MM_Unix's dist() - Starting to quote as many command line switches as possible to make VMS have to override less of MM_Unix. -- Michael G.
