Changes for version 1.000000 - 2014-08-14

  • 00 Major
    • Changes that will affect hand operated downstreams.
  • 01 Version Scheme
    • Migrated to x.yyyzzz from x.y.z
    • This is the primary reason for the 1.x on the box.
    • https://questhub.io/realm/perl/quest/5388d3a9bbd0be2224000129
  • 02 Tooling
    • Moved to ExtUtils::MakeMaker
    • "Latest" deps for toolchain parts are now only "recommended"
    • https://questhub.io/realm/perl/quest/5388cc12bbd0be5b2500011f
  • 03 Cleanup functions nuked from orbit
    • The persist function is now handled on a tempdir basis by directly using File::Temp tricks.
    • This means that any tempdir that is to be freed will be freed as soon as it is no longer referenced
    • so ->_clear_dir will wipe it
    • and program termination should wipe it.
    • so cleanse and DESTROY are no longer needed
