- All three C compilers that perl supports on Windows environments
(MSVC, BCC, and GCC) are now supported by Module::Build. We now
reportedly pass all tests on Windows. [Randy W. Sims]
- The test t/xs.t, which tests building of XS modules, will be
skipped if no C compiler is found. [suggested by Randy W. Sims]
- The "install" action accepts new "destdir" [motivated by Michael
Schwern and Chip Salzenberg] and "uninst" parameters [by Dave
Rolsky]. The former prepends an arbitrary directory to all
installation paths (useful for package management), and the latter
will tell ExtUtils::Install to remove any differing files that are
"shadowing" the stuff you're installing from a different location,
just like MakeMaker's "make install UNINST=1" command will do.
- Made changes to the generated Makefile in Module::Build::Compat
that much better support Windows platforms [after suggestions by
James Freeman]
- Added experimental support for creating distribution SIGNATURE
files via Module::Signature. [Dave Rolsky]
- Added experimental support for installing via the "only.pm" module,
which allows loading specific versions of modules. Since this
module is so new, the interface may still be changing. [Brian
Ingerson]
- Added support for installing executable scripts, via the 'scripts'
parameter to new(), and the scripts() accessor method.
- Fix an infinite loop that occurred when doing 'perl Build.PL
config="foo=bar"'
- Fix up the formatting of the error message the user gets when
prereqs aren't satisfied.
