Changes for version 6.44 - 2008-02-28

  • Bug Fixes
  • Updated bundled ExtUtils::Install to 1.45 which should fix some Cygwin issues. [rt.cpan.org 33291]

Changes for version 6.43_01 - 2008-01-01

  • Bug Fixes
  • Change the "is this really a Perl core library directory" checks to look for strict instead of Exporter. Now that Exporter is on CPAN it can wind up in site_perl.
  • split_command() will now set aside a little more space for macro expansion. This should help on systems with cramped command line lengths. Specifically, Pugs on Win32. [rt.cpan.org 20145]
  • Installation
  • MakeMaker would not install if the installed MakeMaker was too old, like on 5.6.1. The installation process was still using the installed MakeMaker in a few places. This has been fixed.
    • rt.cpan.org 24746
  • OS X
  • "make dist" will no longer bundle up resource fork files (._foo).
    • rt.cpan.org 29525
  • Docs
  • The documentation of VERSION_FROM was recommending vstrings (1.2.3) which have never worked right.
  • The documentation for the accepted values of LICENSE moved to Module::Build::API. [rt.cpan.org 32020]
  • Tests
  • The compilation test was testing the installed modules, not the about-to-be-installed.
  • xs.t would fail if ExtUtils::CBuilder was not installed.
  • Misc
  • Cleanups brought to you by no more 5.5 compatibility!
  • MakeMaker is now perlcritic clean at severity level 5... except the really silly ones.
  • DIE use vars DIE!
  • Added some resources to the META.yml
