*** 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.
