v1.0.4 - 2026-10-07

ExtUtils::Install installs files as readonly (mode 0444) so Xmake's templates (used by xmake create, etc.) would copy readonly files into a project and then try to modify them which obviously does not work. I just copy them to the global xmake directory on first use and fix permissions.
In situations like prebuilt libs bundled in a single archive, libpath used to resolve to whichever lib the filesystem happened to sort first. The runtime library now uses the package's links; falling back to the first lib when none match.

system recipe option. With system => 1 a package is allowed to resolve from the system (Homebrew, apt, vcpkg, ...), which makes add_extsources() in a package recipe usable again. Without it an install is a private build into its own store, as before.

system installs no longer automatically collapse into a source build.
A package reported with an install tree but no libfiles is no longer mistaken for a header-only package.

Make some of the flaky tests Author's tests. Their failure means very little, honestly, and could fail for a lot of reasons.

Alien::Xrepo::MB and Alien::Xrepo::MM, generic Module::Build and ExtUtils::MakeMaker integrations for Alien distributions
Build engine share_dir option: per-package installs land under <share>/<pkg> via installdir, and the snapshot records share-relative paths so an installed dist resolves packages after relocation to the site sharedir.
Example distributions demonstrating the new recipe shapes:
- Exotic::SDL3 installs multiple shared libraries for FFI consumers with one Alien
- Exotic::Ninja demos a binary tool alien
- Exotic::Zstandard and Exotic::Lsquic demonstrate Alien::Xrepo::MB
- Exotic::Raylib6 example distribution on the using Alien::Xrepo::MM
- Exotic::SQLite3
- Exotic::Zlib demos static library building for cc_lib_flags consumers like Inline::C or XS
- Exotic::Vcpkg::zlib installs a lib from a 3rd party repo
