Happy one year (and two weeks) last MakeMaker alpha release anniversary! I know, its sad. This release is mostly about syncing up with bleadperl. Let's call this a release candidate. If it tests out well I'll release it as 6.31. Windows & VMS folks, I want to hear from you about your passes. 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. [EMAIL PROTECTED] - VMS->one_liner must quote "--" argument. [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Split INSTALLSCRIPT into INSTALLSCRIPT, INSTALLSITESCRIPT and INSTALLVENDORSCRIPT so it now honors INSTALLDIRS. [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Minor fix to work with Pod::man 2.04. [EMAIL PROTECTED] - $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.
