After a surge of activity Friday and over the weekend, including a good number of patches from others in response to my call for help (thank you!), I released 0.33_03 with 13 tickets closed. The bug queue is down to 9 Normal bugs, 13 Unimportant bugs and the rest are Wishlist items. There are a few that will require some thought and may not make it into 0.34 and I think that's OK.
I'll be firing up a regression test of 0.33_03 against 0.33 for about 3000 distributions soon and should have results in the next couple days. Given the number of bug fixes, now would be a great time to test out 0.33_03 on your OS/platform/perl of choice and see if anything unexpected pops up. Changes excerpt follows. 0.33_03 - Mon Jun 22 17:22:56 EDT 2009 Bug-fixes: - Removes Module::Build from its own configure/build_requires - ConfigData->feature() confirms that modules actually load successfully, not just that they are present.
