[BUG FIXES]
- In the 'installdeps' action, w don't need to check for an
executable bit on the CPAN client, just try executing it.
Otherwise we needlessly fail on e.g. VMS.
- Actually handle utf8 correctly in utf8-man tests. [Leon Timmermans]
- Don't clobber standard array/hash attributes in subclasses that
have their own array/hash attributes. [Graham Ollis]
- We now allow underscores in package names, when extracting the
name & abstract from POD. [Ricardo Signes, Shlomi Fish]
- When building HTML docs, fix a problem with setting the --htmlroot
argument. [Ken Williams]
- Lower Test::More dependency in the test metadata, so distgen
output won't mess up console with older Test::More installed.
[Tatsuhiko Miyagawa]
- Revised detildification on VMS [Craig Berry]
- Fix run_test_harness for case when $Switches is an empty string
[Victor Efimov, Ken Williams]
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Significantly sped up some tests by not forcing HTML docs to be
built when the user's config doesn't ask for them anyway.
[Ken Williams]
- The Module::Metadata package was split out from this distro back
in 2010. Removed its regression tests. [Ken Williams]
- Removed dependence on IO::File, replacing it with safe invocations
of open(). [Sven Dowideit]
- Added an 'extra_manify_args' parameter to facilitate man pages
containing Unicode. [Joenio Costa]
- Added an '--html_links 0' argument for the 'html' action, which
can hugely speed things up. The main effect is speeding up the
M::B tests themselves. [Ken Williams]
- Added continuous integration support for the Module::Build code
itself, through the Travis-CI project
(https://travis-ci.org/). [Tatsuhiko Miyagawa, Olivier Mengué]
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Removed suggestion in the INSTALL document to use the Makefile.PL
for installation. Making the Makefile.PL lower-profile in
general. [Ken Williams]
- Fix link from UpperCase CPAN::META::Spec to CPAN::Meta::Spec in
API.pod. [Sven Dowideit]
[OTHER]
- Removed unused platform specific modules that never contained
anything. [Leon Timmermans]
- Lots of typo fixes in comments & documentation. [David Steinbrunner]
0.4005 - Thu Apr 25 15:10:14 CEST 2013
[ENHANCEMENTS]

Summary of major changes since 0.3624:
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Generates META.json and MYMETA.json consistent with version 2 of the
CPAN Meta Spec. [David Golden]
Also in this release:
[BUG FIXES]
- Autogenerated documentation no longer includes private actions from
Module::Build's own release subclass. [Report by Timothy Appnel,
fix by David Golden]
0.37_06 - Mon Feb 28 21:43:31 EST 2011
[BUG FIXES]
- prerequisites with the empty string instead of a version are
normalized to "0". (RT#65909)

[BUG FIXES]
- removed an irrelevant test in t/actions/installdeps.t that was causing
failures on some Cygwin platforms
[OTHER]
- dropped configure_requires as some CPAN clients apparently get
confused by having things in both configure_requires and requires
- bumped Parse::CPAN::Meta build prereq to 1.4401
- bumped CPAN::Meta prereq to 2.110420
- Pod typo fixes [Hongwen Qiu]
0.37_02 - Mon Feb 7 21:05:30 EST 2011

- bumped CPAN::Meta prereq to 2.110390 to avoid a regression in 2.110360
0.37_01 - Thu Feb 3 03:44:38 EST 2011
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Generates META.json and MYMETA.json consistent with version 2 of the
CPAN Meta Spec. [David Golden]
[BUG FIXES]
- t/signature.t now uses a mocked Module::Signature; this should be
more robust across platforms as it only needs to confirm that
Module::Build is calling Module::Signature when expected
[OTHER]
- Added CPAN::Meta and Parse::CPAN::Meta to prerequisites and dropped
CPAN::Meta::YAML
0.3624 - Thu Jan 27 11:38:39 EST 2011
- Fixed pod2html directory bugs and fixed creation of spurious blib
directory in core perl directory when running install.t (RT#63003)
[Chris Williams]
0.3623 - Wed Jan 26 17:45:30 EST 2011
- Fixed bugs involving bootstrapping configure_requires prerequisites
on older CPANPLUS clients or for either CPAN/CPANPLUS when using
the compatibility Makefile.PL
- Added diagnostic output when configure_requires are missing for
the benefit of users doing manual installation
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]
