Changes for version 0.999_01 - 2010-04-12

  • This is the first release candidate for 1.00
  • INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES
    • Do not support (undocumented) CPANMINUS_* environment variable anymore. Use PERL_CPANM_* instead
    • Plugins are not supported anymore. They will be available as part of a new client!
    • Deleted --look command
    • Deleted --recent command
  • Improvements
    • Get metadata from search.cpan.org before fetching tarballs, which makes commands like --info or --skip-installed much faster. #3, #8, #9
    • Added --mirror option where you can specify the mirror base URL
    • Added --prompt option that asks users to skip, force install, retry or look when test fails #23
    • When one of the dependencies fail to install, cpanm bails out the installation of source dist by default. --prompt will ask if you want to install anyway
    • Added a man page for cpanm
  • Developer Fixes
    • Do not display 'Already tried...' message by default
    • Set non-zero exit code if one or more modules failed to build
