Hey,
Any outstanding issues before I release 0.22 to CPAN? If there's still
a significant CVS lag, here's the list of changes since the last beta:
- When building a 'traditional' Makefile.PL with
Module::Build::Compat, we now use 'VERSION_FROM' when possible,
rather than always using 'VERSION'. This way the Makefile.PL
doesn't have to get modified every release.
- Made some fixups to the 'PPM' info-file that improve compatibility
with ActiveState's PPM tools. [Randy Sims, Glenn Linderman]
- The 'dist_author' property can now accept multiple authors, see the
docs for more info. [Randy Sims]
- If the user doesn't have YAML.pm installed during ACTION_dist, we
now create a minimal YAML.pm anyway, without any dependency
information.
- The 'distribution_type' field is no longer created in META.yml
files, in accordance with the finding made at the London CLPAN
meeting that it's essentially meaningless and ill-defined.
Versions 0.21_01 and 0.21_02 had significant bug fixes, particularly
for the Windows crowd, so I'd like to get 0.22 out as soon as it makes
sense.
-Ken
