This is Release Candidate 3. Unless something pops up on some less-commonly tested platform, I expect this to be the final release candidate before Module::Build 0.36. Craig B. or John M. -- I'd particularly like one more test from you on VMS before I release 0.36 and write a patch for blead. Anyone else with platforms not typically covered by CPAN Testers, please test Module::Build 0.35_13 by hand and let me know if it fails. Anyone who uses custom Module::Build subclasses, please test them with this version. Thank you! -- David P.S. Here is a list of changes since the last Release Candidate: 0.35_13 - Sat Dec 5 11:26:36 EST 2009 - Protect against tempfile errors when checking ExtUtils::Installed 0.35_12 - Fri Dec 4 23:06:49 EST 2009 Bug fixes: - Protect inc/ bundling tests against broken ExtUtils::Installed 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]
