Changes for version 1.12 - 2006-09-25
- Changes from Ken Williams
- New 'makefile_PL' and 'makefile' parameters to the new() method allow Module::Build-based distributions to work more smoothly - set them to 'Build.PL' and 'Build', respectively.
- The 'release_subclass' parameter to new() is un-deprecated again.
- Subclasses previously could not override the new() method when invoked via the 'release_subclass' mechanism, now they can.
- When running under a passive FTP mode, we were telling the server to go into passive mode twice, which causes some servers to bomb out. This is fixed.
- The error message when an FTP PUT operation failed has been improved.
- System calls made during the release process will now read their underlying STDOUT and STDERR using read(), which helps you see what's going on when there are interactive steps.
- The getpass() method will now check for CPAN_PASS and SF_PASS values previously set as member variables. This helps users who might want to, for example, look their values up in the OS X keychain using a custom subclass.
- Fixed a couple of minor POD formatting errors.
