Change Log

Revision history for Perl extension PAR::Dist::FromCPAN.

0.10  Thu Aug 28 15:17 2008
    - Require Archive::Zip to prevent users from running into
      RT #24057.

0.09  Wed May 28 22:37 2008
    - New option to cpan2par: -a or --auto-detect-pure-perl.
      Automatically flags a distribution as pure-perl if it doesn't
      seem to contain files that need compilation.
    - Upgrade to newest Module::Install.
    - No more SIGNATURE.
    - Depend on PAR::Dist 0.31.

0.08  Sat Jun 30 17:05 2007
    - If the --pattern argument to cpan2par is omitted, we look at @ARGV
      for patterns:
      "cpan2par Foo::Bar" should now package Foo::Bar

0.07  Wed Jun 20 14:46 2007
    - Circular dependencies of Email::Simple and Email::MIME caused
      trouble. From now on, circular deps should be broken and
      *skipped*.

0.06  Fri Jun  1 15:22 2007
    - Somehow, 'follow' was still broken...

0.05  Thu May 24 11:22 2007
    - Fix the 'follow' option as per RT ticket #27246.
    - Upgrade Module::Install to 0.67
    - Upgrade dependency on PAR::Dist to 0.22 because of a critical
      bug fix in PAR::Dist.

0.04  Wed Oct  4 09:00 2006
    - Upgraded to Module::Install 0.64.
    All of these changes were provided by Jesse Vincent: (thanks!)
    - Add a "_diag" method, to clean up all the code that checks
      'verbose' and send output
    - Improved dependency resolution
    - for loop was very unhappy as we modified its list on the fly
    - actually PAR dependencies _before_ the thing that depends on them
    - When a module depends on a dual-lifed module that was already in
      the core as of $^V, use the core version. Without this change,
      Module::Build can't be autopared

0.03  Thu Jul 21 15:48 2006
    - Added VERSION to cpan2par.
    - Added some (probably redundant) dependencies to
      Makefile.PL (File::Spec, File::Path).
    - Added the --merge and --no-docs switches and the
      corresponding parameters to the module.
    - Added the --skip switch for skipping som modules.

0.02  Thu Jun 11 17:51 2006
    - cpan2par registered as script in Makefile.PL.
    - We also need at least CPAN 1.84.
    - Corrected syntax errors in cpan2par (yuck).

0.01  Thu Jun  1 14:08 2006
    - original version as uploaded to CPAN
