1.12 - Mon Sep 25 22:38:35 CDT 2006
* 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.
1.08 - Sat May 20 03:04:01 2006
* Added MANIFEST checking feature. If `make manifest` has to change
MANIFEST, check_manifest() dies. You'll have to check in MANIFEST
before you can go on anyway, so you might as well stop and take a
look at it (and maybe update MANIFEST.SKIP too). I needed this
because although I had a lot of pod_coverage tests lying about,
they never made it into the dists because I never added them to
MANIFEST. Stoopid me.
* This updates the release(1) script too. Make sure you want this
feature before you overwrite your old release(1).
1.07 - Wed May 17 21:06:39 2006
* Minor updates to the distro - no code changes. No need to upgrade
0.25 - Fri Dec 17 15:53:15 CST 2004
* No changes to functionality.
* Released only because I (Andy) deleted the latest version,
because I thought brian had newer ones, when he didn't.
This meant that the indexer got all confused. I hope this
stops people from now wondering "Where did Module::Release go?"
* Modernized t/pod.t
* Made tests in t/load.t more inclusive
* Updated the Makefile.PL
0.24 - Sat Nov 29 09:29:36 2003
* fixed a problem in Module::Release's check_cvs routine where
it was not checking each line of output
0.23 - Sun Jun 22 23:40:00 2003 (Andy Lester)
* All output now goes to the screen if --debug is on. Thanks to
Ken Williams. "High school students."
0.23
* release will show the user all STDOUT of the subprocesses
whenever debug is on. This will prevent the machine from waiting
for a response from you because you don't know it's there.
0.22 - Wed Apr 9 16:05:08 2003 (Andy Lester)
* release will not run if there are any switch errors
* Added many error checks in ftp_upload.
* Added some docs on how to find sf_group_id and sf_release_id.
* Removed a "last CVS" in cvs() method. It would have
blown up if someone didn't have a CVS directory.
* Renamed perl() method to build_makefile()
* Renamed cvs() to check_cvs()
* Added basic POD docs for the functions
0.21 - Sat Mar 29 16:19:00 2003 (Andy Lester)
Many more patches, thanks to Ken Williams. I fear it won't be
long until Module::Release is sending & receiving mail.
* release only checks for passwords if they're necessary.
This means you don't have to have a password if you're running
"release -t" to test.
* A more complete dependency list in Makefile.PL
* A new 'release_subclass' config file entry lets you subclass
Module::Release. There's an example in the docs.
* After FTP upload, we check to see whether the two versions of
the file have the same size. This should catch my FTP-ing bug.
* The cvs_tag() method now calls make_cvs_tag() to make the
tag string. This lets me override make_cvs_tag() in a subclass.
0.20 - Wed Mar 26 11:05:00 2003 (Andy Lester)
* Moved all the real work into Module::Release. Thanks to
Ken Williams for doing all the dirty work on this.
* Fixed the Test::Pod dependency
0.16 - Wed Mar 19 15:38:00 2003 (Andy Lester)
* No new features
* Removed the dependency on Test::Pod
0.15 - Fri Mar 14 17:23:30 2003 (Andy Lester)
* Support for the PERL environment variable.
* Cleaned up tabs 'n' spaces in the source. Shouldn't
affect anything in how you use the program.
0.14 - Wed Mar 12 10:09:00 2003 (Andy Lester)
* 0.13 is an incorrect distro. This is what you want.
0.13 - Wed Mar 12 09:58:00 2003 (Andy Lester)
Most of these changes are from Max Maischein. Cross-platform
compatibility should be a lot better. Thanks, Max!
* Prompts for passwords that are not set in the environment.
* Fixed a bug in checking for required fields
* Uses "$Config{make}" instead of "make".
* Moved all backticks into a subroutine "run", that also echoes
the command if "-d" is set.
* Added a check whether the file-to-distribute actually exists,
before making the ftp connection.
* The regex to guess the distname from the tardist output
needed some whitespace added to work with Win32.
* Added support for passive FTP.
0.12 - Thu Mar 6 13:55:47 2003 (Andy Lester)
Most of the changes in this revision are from Chris Nandor:
* Add basic help page
* Add more debugging information (dump `` output)
* Add command-line switches for help, debug, and test (exits after
testing phase)
* Allow not using either the CPAN or SourceForge.net (but not both)
* Check cvs exit status
* Do not update CVS automatically; release will exit if it sees a U
anyway, so might as well just let the developer handle it
* Allow modification of "release name" via regex in .releaserc
* Update docs
* General cleanup
0.11 - Mon Mar 3 11:58:42 2003 (Andy Lester)
* Patches to make this less brian-specific. Thanks to Chris
Nandor for taking it upon himself to do so.
* Removed a lot of dependencies on external modules.
0.10 - Wed Dec 11 16:40:53 2002 (brian d foy)
* prompt for comments to put in Changes, commit Changes, and
use comments in SourceForge change log notes
* guess the release file name from 'make dist' so the first
argument is now optional
* put the right date in the SourceForge release date
