Changes for version 0.04

  • Added a 'manifest' action. It's just like MakeMaker's 'make manifest', it brings your MANIFEST file up to date with your distribution directory.
  • Reorganized some of the responsibilities of various methods, which allows modules to be built and tested programmatically.
  • The 'clean' action will now clean up files that were created more recently than the on-disk cleanup registry was written.
  • Undefined values from Config.pm are handled correctly now.
  • The dispatch() method will now accept explicit dispatch parameters, for use in a programmatic setting.
  • $ENV{TEST_VERBOSE} will be set in test scripts if the 'verbose=1' parameter is set.
  • Moved the test.pl script to t/basic.t
  • Created the t/xs.t script, which tests building a module with a .xs component.
  • Fixed the loading of $^O-specific modules (there were no such modules before).
  • Added a 'darwin' platform module, which removes -flat_namespace from $Config{ccflags} while building .xs modules (it's a linker flag, not a compiler flag).
  • Now uses $^W instead of the 'warnings' pragma, which apparently provides compatibility with perl 5.005 (I've only tested it with 5.6.x myself).
  • If a file called C<visual.pl> exists in the top-level directory, this file will be executed as a Perl script during 'Build test' and its output will be shown to the user. This is a good place to put speed tests or other tests that don't use the C<Test::Harness> format for output.
  • The 'Build install' step will now put .xs-related things in the correct architecture-dependent libraries.
  • Added the 'autosplit' option, even though I think autosplitting is a load of hooie.
