Revision history for Perl extension Module::Build.
0.37_01 -
0.3622 - Mon Jan 24 21:06:50 EST 2011
- No changes from 0.36_21
0.36_21 - Fri Jan 21 11:01:28 EST 2011
- Changed YAML::Tiny references to the new CPAN::Meta::YAML module
instead, which is the YAML-variant that is going into the Perl core
0.36_20 - Fri Dec 10 15:36:03 EST 2010
*** DEPRECATIONS ***
- Module::Build::Version has been deprecated. Module::Build now depends
directly upon version.pm. A pure-perl version has been bundled in inc/
solely for bootstrapping in case configure_requires is not supported.
M::B::Version remains as a wrapper around version.pm.
- Module::Build::ModuleInfo has been deprecated. Module::Build now
depends directly upon Module::Metadata (which is an extraction of
M::B::ModuleInfo intended for general reuse). A pure-perl version has
been bundled in inc/ solely for bootstrapping in case
configure_requires is not supported. M::B::ModuleInfo remains as a
wrapper around Module::Metadata.
- Module::Build::YAML has been deprecated. Module::Build now depends
directly upon YAML::Tiny. M::B::YAML remains as a subclass wrapper.
The YAML_support feature has been removed, as YAML is now an ordinary
dependency.
0.36_19 - Tue Dec 7 13:43:42 EST 2010
Bug fixes:
- Perl::OSType is declared as a 'configure_requires' dependency, but is
also bundled in inc (and loaded if needed) [David Golden]
0.36_18 - Mon Dec 6 16:46:49 EST 2010
Changes:
- Added dependency on Perl::OSType to refactor and centralize
management of OS type mapping [David Golden]
- When parsing a version number out of a file, any trailing alphabetical
characters will be dropped to avoid fatal errors when comparing version
numbers. These would have been dropped (with a warning) anyway during
an ordinary numeric comparison. (RT#56071) [David Golden]
Bug fixes:
- A Perl interpreter mismatch between running Build.PL and running Build
is now a fatal error, not a warning (RT#55183) [David Golden]
- Bundled Module::Build::Version updated to bring into sync with CPAN
version.pm 0.86 [David Golden]
- No longer uses fake user 'foo' in t/tilde (RT#61793) [David Golden]
- Won't fail tests if an ancient Tie::IxHash is installed
[Christopher J. Madsen]
- Correctly report missing metafile field names [David Golden]
- Suppress uninitialized value errors during Pod creation
on ActiveState Perl [David Golden]
- Return to starting directory after install action; this is
an attempt to fix an install.t heisenbug (RT#63003) [David Golden]
- A broken version.pm load won't cause Module::Build::Version to
die trying to install itself as a mock version (RT#59499)
[Eric Wilhelm and David Golden]
- PERL_DL_NONLAZY is now always set when tests are run
(RT#56055) [Dmitry Karasik]
- 'fakeinstall' will use .modulebuildrc actions for 'install' if
no specific 'fakeinstall' options are provided (RT#57279)
[David Golden]
- Add install*script to search path for installdeps client
and search site, then vendor, then core paths
- Skip noexec tmpdir check on Windows (RT#55667) [Jan Dubois]
- Arguments with key value pairs may now have keys with "-" in them
(RT#53050) [David Golden]
- Add quotemeta to t/tilde.t test to fix Cygwin fails
[Chris Williams and David Golden]
- Build script now checks that M::B is at least the same version
of M::B as provided in 'configure_requires' in META
(RT#54954) [David Golden]
0.36_17 - Wed Oct 27 18:08:36 EDT 2010
Enhancements:
- Added 'distinstall' action to run 'Build install' inside the
generated distribution directory [Jeff Thalhammer]
0.36_16 - Thu Aug 26 12:44:07 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Better error message in case package declaration is not found
when searching for version. [Alexandr Ciornii]
- Skips 'release_status' tests on perl < 5.8.1 due to buggy
treatment of dotted-decimal version numbers [David Golden]
0.36_15 - Wed Aug 25 10:41:28 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Added a mock Software::License to prevent t/properties/license.t
from failing.
0.36_14 - Sun Aug 22 22:56:50 EDT 2010
Enhancements:
- Adds 'release_status' and 'dist_suffix' properties in preparation
for adding CPAN Meta Spec 2 support. 'dist_suffix' will be set
to 'TRIAL' automatically when necessary. [David Golden]
- Makes 'license' more liberal. You can now specify either a license
key from the approved list (c.f. Module::Build::API) or just a
Software::License subclass name (e.g. 'Perl_5'). This should
provide better support for custom or proprietary licenses.
[David Golden]
0.36_13 - Wed Jul 28 22:40:25 EDT 2010
Bug-fixes:
- Bundled Module::Build::Version updated to bring into sync with CPAN
version.pm 0.82 [David Golden]
0.36_12 - Tue Jul 27 00:08:51 EDT 2010
Enhancements:
- Module::Build::Compat will now convert dotted-decimal prereqs into
decimal rather than dying (and will warn about this). [Apocalypse]
Bug fixes:
- Caches case-sensitivity checks to boost performance, fixes
RT#55162 and RT#56513 [Reini Urban]
- Won't try to use ActivePerl doc generation tools without confirming
that they are indeed installed. [David Golden]
- Sets temporary $ENV{HOME} in testing to an absolute path, which fixes
some issues when tested as part of the Perl core [Nicholas Clark]
- Module::Build::ModuleInfo now warns instead of dying when a module
has an invalid version. ->version now just returns undef
(RT#59593) [David Golden]
Changes:
- When authors do not specify Module::Build in configure_requires and
Module::Build is automatically added, a warning will be issued
showing the added prerequisite [David Golden]
- Moved automatic configure_requires generation into get_metadata()
and added an 'auto' argument to toggle it (on for META and off
for MYMETA) [David Golden]
0.36_11 - Thu May 27 09:41:23 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Handle META/MYMETA reading and writing within Module::Build to ensure
utf8 mode on filehandles. Now passes/gets only strings to YAML::Tiny
or Module::Build::YAML
0.36_10 - Wed May 19 18:36:06 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Fix failing t/manifypods.t on Windows from 0.36_09 changes [Klaus
Eichner]
0.36_09 - Tue May 11 09:19:12 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Improve HTML documentation generation on ActivePerl (RT#53478)
[Scott Renner and Klaus Eichner]
0.36_08 - Mon Apr 26 08:00:15 EDT 2010
Enhancements:
- Give a list of valid licenses when given one we don't recognize
(RT#55951) [Yanick Champoux]
- Added 'Build manifest_skip' action to generate a default MANIFEST.SKIP
[David Golden]
Changes:
- When temporarily generating a MANIFEST.SKIP when none exists, it will
be removed on exit instead of hanging around until 'Build clean'. This
is less surprising/confusing and the 'Build manifest_skip' action
is now available instead to bootstrap the file [David Golden]
Bug fixes:
- Fixed runtime error on cygwin when searching for an executable command
during installdeps testing [David Golden]
0.3607 - Thu Apr 1 11:27:16 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- The 'dist' action now always ensures a clean dist directory before
creating the tarball [David Golden]
0.36_06 - Thu Apr 1 01:23:58 EDT 2010
Other:
- Migrated repository to git and updated META.yml to match
- Removed bugtracker URL (let search.cpan.org use default)
- Disabled SIGNATURE generation
0.3605 - Wed Mar 31 12:05:11 EDT 2010
- No changes from 0.36_04
0.36_04 - Tue Mar 16 21:41:41 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Added missing newline to "Changing sharpbang" messages under verbose
output (RT#54474) [David Golden]
- Added 'beos' to list of Unix-like os types (RT#53876) [Nigel Horne]
- Sets $ENV{HOME} to a temporary directory during testing [David Golden]
- For VMS: fixed prefix handling plus other test fixes [Craig Berry]
- Support anonymous array of directories for c_source [Alberto Simões]
- Small POD formatting fix [James Keenan]
0.3603 - Mon Jan 18 22:28:59 EST 2010
(Oops, I released the last one before I realized this should have been
fixed along with it.)
Bug fixes:
- Module::Build::Compat would croak on distibutions that set requires
'perl' to a dotted decimal like '5.6.2'. We now skip that key
since it doesn't go into PREREQ_PM and we numify it properly for
'use 5.006002' in the generated Makefile.PL (RT#53409)
[David Golden, adapted from patch by G. Allen Morris III]
0.3602 - Mon Jan 18 22:09:54 EST 2010
Bug fixes:
- Fix failures in t/properties/needs_compiler.t when $ENV{CC} is set
(RT#53296) [David Golden, adapted from patch by Jens Rehsack]
0.3601 - Mon Dec 21 14:39:33 EST 2009
Bug fixes:
- When the currently running Module::Build is not the same as the one
that created the Build file, there is now a warning rather than a fatal
error. This helps installation of dependency chains where a dependency
might configure_requires a new Module::Build after Build.PL was already
run for an earlier distribution. [David Golden, on advice of Matt Trout]
Other:
- t/bundle_inc.t fails in odd ways. This test of an experimental feature
should not prevent users from installing Module::Build, so this test
now skips unless $ENV{MB_TEST_EXPERIMENTAL} is true
0.36 - Sun Dec 20 15:02:38 EST 2009
No changes from 0.35_15 other than the version number.
Summary of major changes since 0.35:
Enhancements:
- Added 'Build installdeps' action to install needed dependencies via
a user-configurable command line program. (Defaults to 'cpan'.)
- Command line options may be set via the PERL_MB_OPT environment
variable (similar to PERL_MM_OPT in ExtUtils::MakeMaker)
- Generates MYMETA.yml during Build.PL (new standard protocol for
communicating configuration results between toolchain components)
- Reduced amount of console output under normal operation (use --verbose
to see all output)
- Added experimental inc/ bundling; see Module::Build::Bundling for
details.
New or changed properties:
- Added 'share_dir' property to provide File::ShareDir support;
File::ShareDir automatically added to 'requires' if 'share_dir' is set
- Added 'needs_compiler' property. Defaults to true if XS or c_source
exist. If true, ExtUtils::CBuilder is also added to build_requires.
- 'C_support' is no longer an optional feature. Modern ExtUtils::CBuilder
and ExtUtils::ParseXS added to the 'requires' list. This ensures that
upgrading Module::Build will upgrade these critical modules.
- Clarified that 'apache' in the license attribute indicates the Apache
License 2.0 and added 'apache_1_1' for the older version of the license
(RT#50614)
Deprecations:
- Module::Build::Compat 'passthrough' style has been deprecated. Using
'passthrough' will issue warnings on Makefile.PL generation. See
Module::Build::Compat documentation for rationale.
Internals:
- Replaced use of YAML.pm with YAML::Tiny; Module::Build::YAML is now
based on YAML::Tiny as well
- A new get_metadata() method has been added as a simpler wrapper around
the old, kludgy prepare_metadata() API.
- Replaced guts of new_from_context(). Build.PL is now executed in a
separate process before resume() is called. (This is generally only of
interest to Module::Build or toolchain developers) (RT#49350)
- Add support for 'package NAME VERSION' syntax added in Perl 5.11.1
Notable bug fixes:
- The "test" action now dies when using the 'use_tap_harness'
option and tests fail, matching the behavior under Test::Harness.
(RT#49080) [initial patch from David Wheeler; revised by David Golden]
- Updated PPM generation to PPM v4 (RT#49600) [Olivier Mengue]
- When module_name is not supplied, no packlist was being written; fixed
by guessing module_name from dist_version_from or the directory name
(just like ExtUtils::Manifest does without NAME) [David Golden]
- Failure to detect a compiler will now warn during Build.PL and be a
fatal error when trying to compile during Build. (RT#48918) [David
Golden]
- Auto-detection of abstract and author fixed for mixed-case POD headers
(RT#51117) [David Wheeler]
- resume() was not restoring additions to @INC added in Build.PL
(RT#50145) [David Golden]
- When tarball paths are less than 100 characters, disables 'prefix'
mode of Archive::Tar for maximum compatibility (RT#50571) [David Golden]
- Merging 'requires' and 'build_requires' in Module::Build::Compat could
lead to duplicate PREREQ_PM entries; now the highest version is used
for PREREQ_PM. (RT#50948) [David Golden]
- Module::Build::Compat will now die with an error if advanced,
non-numeric prerequisites are given, as these are not supported by
ExtUtils::MakeMaker in PREREQ_PM [David Golden]
0.35_15 - Thu Dec 17 17:51:22 EST 2009
Bug fixes:
- Make sure PPM tests are skipped if IO::File is too old [David Golden]
0.35_14 - Thu Dec 17 16:02:14 EST 2009
Bug fixes:
- If not set, the 'module_name' is detected from 'dist_version_from'
or from 'dist_name'. The directory is no longer used. [David Golden]
- The 'share_dir' property no longer defaults to 'share' and must be
explicitly set instead; this fixes problems for CPAN distributions that
already have a 'share' directory for whatever reason [David Golden]
- Change t/00-compile.t test for more portability [David Golden]
- Skip ppm.t if Pod::Html is not available [David Goldenj]
- Changed guts of inc::latest to work properly on older versions of Perl
[David Golden]
- Ensure bundle_inc.t doesn't accidentally uninstall the installed M::B
during testing if the user had 'uninst=1' set during Build.PL
[David Golden]
0.35_13 - Sat Dec 5 11:26:36 EST 2009
Bug fixes:
- Protect against tempfile errors when checking ExtUtils::Installed
[David Golden]
0.35_12 - Fri Dec 4 23:06:49 EST 2009
Bug fixes:
- Protect inc/ bundling tests against broken ExtUtils::Installed
[David Golden]
0.35_11 - Thu Dec 3 11:07:44 EST 2009
*** API CHANGE ***
- The old API for prepare_metadata() has been restored to avoid breaking
distributions that were overriding it (e.g. BioPerl), but the method
has been marked deprecated and may be made private or may disappear in
some future version of Module::Build. [David Golden]
- A new get_metadata() method has been added as a simpler wrapper around
the old, kludgy prepare_metadata() API. [David Golden]
0.35_10 - Tue Nov 24 22:49:19 EST 2009
Bug fixes:
- bundle_inc.t is more careful about permissions and open filehandles
to avoid failures/skips on Win32 [David Golden]
- Fix compilation error in Module::Build::Platform::VMS (RT#51766)
[David Golden]
- Don't generate a MANIFEST.SKIP during distclean and add any generated
MANIFEST.SKIP to cleanup list [reported by Zefram, fixed by David Golden]
- Module::Build::ModuleInfo version parsing would fail if a module sets
its $VERSION from another module, but the other module is not installed.
We now try to detect such failures, prepend 'lib' to @INC and try again.
[David Golden]
- MYMETA.yml used to be generated from scratch, overriding any
customizations used to create META.yml. Now, if META.yml exists, that
will be used as the base for MYMETA and only prereq fields will be
updated (to reflect any dynamic configuration); also, 'dynamic_config'
will be set to false and 'generated_by' will be updated [David Golden]
0.35_09 - Thu Nov 19 01:30:42 EST 2009
Bug fixes:
- The DB package should not be included in 'provides' in META files
[David Golden]
- Fixed t/xs.t build failures in bleadperl for noexec temp directories
[Nicholas Clark]
- Adjusted order of @INC in resume() (fixes par.t, ppm.t, xs.t fails):
@INC = @new_additions_to_inc, @saved_additions_to_inc, @default_inc
[David Golden]
- Skip bundle_inc.t tests if bundled Module::Build for test can't be
tweaked (Works around test crashes on Win2) [David Golden]
Other:
- 'C_support' is no longer an optional feature. Modern ExtUtils::CBuilder
and ExtUtils::ParseXS added to the 'requires' list. This ensures that
upgrading Module::Build will upgrade this critical modules.
ExtUtils::CBuilder no longer requires a compiler, so it is "safe" to
require.
0.35_08 - Mon Nov 16 22:38:28 EST 2009
Bug fixes:
- Multiple tests were failing due to dependency problems. Author
dependencies have been largely removed from core 'requires' into
optional features. Feature prereq detection and messaging have been
expanded and bugs on older Perls have been removed.
0.35_07 - Sat Nov 14 17:14:39 EST 2009
Bug fixes:
- Auto-detection of abstract and author fixed for mixed-case POD headers
(RT#51117) [David Wheeler]
- resume() was not restoring additions to @INC added in Build.PL
(RT#50145) [David Golden]
- When tarball paths are less than 100 characters, disables 'prefix'
mode of Archive::Tar for maximum compatibility (RT#50571) [David Golden]
0.35_06 - Fri Nov 13 14:51:28 EST 2009
Enhancements:
- Added experimental inc/ bundling; see Module::Build::Bundling for
details. [David Golden and Eric Wilhelm]
- Clarified that 'apache' in the license attribute indicates the Apache
License 2.0 and added 'apache_1_1' for the older version of the license
(RT#50614) [David Golden]
Bug fixes:
- Merging 'requires' and 'build_requires' in Module::Build::Compat could
lead to duplicate PREREQ_PM entries; now the highest version is used
for PREREQ_PM. (RT#50948) [David Golden]
- Module::Build::Compat will now die with an error if advanced,
non-numeric prerequisites are given, as these are not supported by
ExtUtils::MakeMaker in PREREQ_PM [David Golden]
- Made MYMETA generation non-fatal if fields required for META.yml
are missing [David Golden]
- Added Pod::Simple to requirements for manpage support; avoids
problems if a user has a broken Pod::Man/Pod::Simple. (RT#50081)
[David Golden]
- Won't die if installed Pod::Readme is broken [David Golden]
Other:
- Fixed Module::Build::Notes POD [David Golden]
- Some commands had become silent by default, so added a few short status
messages so users know something actually happened [David Golden]
- Cleaned up Changes file formatting [David Golden]
- Removed most PERL_CORE customizations from test files due to
reorganization of dual-life modules in core (RT#49522) [David Golden]
0.35_05 - Wed Oct 28 17:20:59 EDT 2009
Bug fixes:

perl [David Golden]
- Work around $VERSION numbers in ActiveState with multiple underscores
that prevent Module::Build from installing on Win32 [David Golden]
- Fix bug cleaning compatibility Makefile when older ExtUtils::Manifest is
installed [David Golden with help from David Cantrell]
Other:
- Suppressed more warnings from tests [David Golden]
- Add provisional support for 'package NAME VERSION' syntax added in
Perl 5.11.1 [David Golden]
0.35_04 - Fri Oct 23 11:20:41 EDT 2009
Bug fixes:
- Fix test failure if IPC::Cmd isn't installed [David Golden]
Other:
- Suppressed warning messages from various tests [David Golden]
0.35_03 - Wed Oct 21 21:20:59 EDT 2009
*** API CHANGE ***
- The prepare_metadata() method used to take a YAML::Node object as an
argument for modification. The method now takes no arguments and just
returns a hash reference of metadata. [David Golden]
Enhancements
- Command line options may be set via the PERL_MB_OPT environment
variable (similar to PERL_MM_OPT in ExtUtils::MakeMaker)
Bug fixes:
- Updated PPM generation to PPM v4 (RT#49600) [Olivier Mengue]
- When c_source is specified, the directory scan will include additional,
less-common C++ extensions (RT49298) [David Golden]
- When module_name is not supplied, no packlist was being written; fixed
by guessing module_name from dist_version_from or the directory name
(just like ExtUtils::Manifest does without NAME) [David Golden]
- Bumped IO::File prereq to fix binmode failures in PPMMaker on Perl
prior to 5.8.8 [David Golden]
Other:
- Replaced use of YAML.pm with YAML::Tiny; Module::Build::YAML is now
based on YAML::Tiny as well [David Golden]
- Reduced amount of console output under normal operation (use --verbose
to see all output) [David Golden]
0.35_02 - Mon Sep 7 22:37:42 EDT 2009
Enhancements:
- Added 'needs_compiler' property. Defaults to true if XS or c_source
exist. If true, ExtUtils::CBuilder is also added to build_requires.
[David Golden]
- File::ShareDir automatically added to 'requires' if 'share_dir' is set
[David Golden]
- Added 'Build installdeps' action to install needed dependencies via
a user-configurable command line program. (Defaults to 'cpan'.)
[Eric Wilhelm]
Bug fixes:
- Failure to detect a compiler will now warn during Build.PL and be a
fatal error when trying to compile during Build. (RT#48918) [David
Golden]
- Fixed directory sorting failure in share_dir.t [David Golden]
- Property defaults that are data structures were being assigned as
references to new objects. Changed so that defaults are cloned instead.
(This mostly affects testing, which often creates multiple objects in the
same process) [David Golden]
- Simplified error message on exit under use_tap_harness [suggested by
David Wheeler]
- Fixed typemap search to use a dist-level typemap if a typemap is not
found in the directory with the *.xs file; (was manifesting as warnings
in Perl 5.6 tests) [David Golden]
Other:
- Replaced guts of new_from_context(). Build.PL is now executed in a
separate process before resume() is called. (This is generally only of
interest to Module::Build or toolchain developers) (RT#49350) [David
Golden, Eric Wilhelm, Ken Williams]
- Revised test helper classes to fix potential bugs and add new features
to make writing tests simpler and easier. Changes incorporated into
t/README.pod and t/sample.t as examples for new testing. [David Golden]
0.35_01 - Mon Aug 31 12:11:10 EDT 2009
Enhancements:
- Generates MYMETA.yml during Build.PL (new standard protocol for
communicating configuration results between toolchain components)
[David Golden]
- Added 'share_dir' property to provide File::ShareDir support;
set automatically if a directory called 'share' exists
[David Golden]
Bug fixes:
- Fix the t/destinations.t fix. [David Golden, with thanks to Eric Wilhelm]
- Fix recursive test files in generated Makefile.PL (RT#49254) [Sawyer X]
- Guard against trying :utf8 when :utf8 isn't available
- The "test" action now dies when using the 'use_tap_harness'
option and tests fail, matching the behavior under Test::Harness.
(RT#49080) [initial patch from David Wheeler; revised by David Golden]
Other:
- Added t/README.pod and t/sample.t to guide developers writing new tests
[David Golden, with some code from Eric Wilhelm]
- Module::Build::Compat 'passthrough' style has been deprecated. Using
'passthrough' will issue warnings on Makefile.PL generation. See
Module::Build::Compat documentation for rationale.
0.35 - Thu Aug 27 09:12:02 EDT 2009
Bug fixes:
- Fix t/destinations.t segfault on 5.6.2 [David Golden]

[David Golden]
- Warn instead of crashing when Pod::Man tries to create files with
colons on vfat partitions on unix (RT#45544) [David Golden]
0.34_05 - Sun Aug 9 22:31:37 EDT 2009
Bug fixes:
- When auto_configure_requires is true (the default), Module::Build will
only add last 'major' version of Module:Build (e.g. 0.XX) to
configure_requires to avoid specifying a minor development release not
available on CPAN [David Golden]
0.34_04 - Sat Aug 8 11:02:24 EDT 2009
Other:
- Added documentation warning that 'get_options' should be capitalized
to avoid conflicting with future Module::Build options and changed
the examples accordingly.
0.34_03 - Sat Aug 8 07:39:16 EDT 2009
Bug fixes:
- Fixed failing xs.t if /tmp is mounted noexec (RT#47331) [David Golden]

- Prevent par.t from dying on error in .zip extraction [David Golden]
- Fixed potential runthrough.t failure on 5.6.2 [David Golden]
Other:
- Archive::Tar changed from 'requires' to 'recommends' so non-authors
without IO::Zlib can still use Module::Build to install modules
[reported by Matt Trout, fix by David Golden]
0.340201 - Sun Aug 9 22:11:04 EDT 2009

No changes from 0.33_06
0.33_06 - Sun Jul 5 10:11:40 EDT 2009
Bug-fixes:
- Bundled version code will use pure Perl on 5.10.0 to work around
a corner case involving eval and locale [John Peacock]
- Reversed VMS patch from 0.33_03 [Craig Berry]
- PL_files in Build.PL that are in the bin/scripts directory should not be
installed as if they are scripts (fixed for case-tolerant systems).
[David Golden, reported by Craig Berry]
0.33_05 - Sun Jun 28 22:06:49 EDT 2009
Enhancements:
- New 'auto_configure_requires' parameter (default 1) controls
whether Module::Build should add itself to configure_requires
in META.yml if not specified in Build.PL [David Golden]
Bug-fixes:
- The default MANIFEST.SKIP created by the "manifest" action
was out of date. It will now use the installed MANIFEST.SKIP
and add some Module::Build and distribution specific items
to it. [Michael Schwern]
Other:
- configure_requires do not necessarily need to be in requires
or build_requires; warning to that effect has been removed
[David Golden]

Bug-fixes:
- Don't try utf8 YAML I/O on Perl 5.6 [David Golden]

[David Golden]
- skip failing test in par.t if Archive::Zip is broken [David Golden]
- Added YAML utf8 patch in 0.33_03 changes list

- Fixed RT#46338: passthrough Makefile.PL cleans Makefile during distclean
- Fixed RT#45700: t/compat.t for HP/UX make
Other:
- Adds current Module::Build to configure_requires (and build_requires)
if no configure_requires is specified
- Always normalizes version number tuples in META.yml (e.g. 'v1.2.0')
(Partially addresses RT#46150)
- Normalizes a generated dist_version (e.g. from a .pm file) --

Bug-fixes:
- Module::Build::Compat had stopped adding "PL_FILES => {}" when no
PL_files property was set in Build.PL; restored old behavior and fixed
tests and documentation related to this issue [David Golden]
- Caches ExtUtils::CBuilder object in a temporary stash instead of properties
- Fixed undef resources->license in META.yml (RT #44453).
- Use $^X instead of 'perl' in t/ext.t [David Golden] (RT #43485)
