Here are the changes since the last beta:
- Added the formal concepts of "features" and "config notes" for
distributions. This allows the module author to define a certain
set of features that the user can switch on and off (usually
according to whether they have the proper prerequisites for them),
and to save build-time configuration information in a standardized
format. See the main documentation of Module::Build for more
details.
- Added the 'get_options' parameter, which lets module authors
declare certain command-line arguments their Build.PL can accept
[David Wheeler]
- Passing a PREFIX value to a pass-through Makefile 'make install'
now has the same effect as passing it to 'perl Makefile.PL' (it
dies with a helpful message).
- The "=head3" POD directive isn't supported in older podlators
(particularly Pod::Man), so we don't use it anymore.
- Fixed a fatal error that occurred when the author specified
'dist_author' manually in their Build.PL script. [Spotted by Ron
Savage]
- The 'provides' section of the META.yml file wasn't being built
properly on Win32, because of a mismatch between URL-format and
native-format pathnames. Fixed. [Reported by Robert Rothenberg]
- The progress message "lib/Foo.xs -> lib/Foo.c" was previously being
output even when the Foo.c file wasn't being rebuilt. It's now
fixed.
- Fixed a couple of places in Compat.pm where it could have forgotten
which perl interpreter it had been run with ($^X isn't very
trustworthy).
- On some systems, the way we updated the timestamp on the
"lib/Foo.bs" file (one of the output files for XS-based modules)
was failing. It's been replaced by a simple call to utime().
- Fixed an important typo in the documentation for the 'install_base'
parameter ('libdoc' and 'bindoc' were switched). [Ray Zimmerman]
