Revision history for CPAN-Meta 2.150010 2016-08-18 12:10:08-04:00 America/New_York [FIXED] - the YAML and JSON backend variables are ignored when building/testing the perl core itself, where non-core backends are not yet installed. [CHANGED] - Added "use warnings" to Parse::CPAN::Meta 2.150009 2016-07-02 21:07:49-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE) [FIXED] - Fixed used of Encode in Parse::CPAN::Meta::load_json_string (Cherry picked from Parse::CPAN::Meta 1.4422) 2.150008 2016-06-28 17:01:03-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE) [ADDED] - Merged Parse::CPAN::Meta 1.4420 into this distribution 2.150007 2016-06-28 03:48:16-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE) [FIXED] - The cloning routine would raise an error on expected types when it previously would stringify. The old behavior is restored. 2.150006 2016-06-23 20:05:46-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE) [FIXED] - CPAN::Meta::Prereqs now fully accepts phases and types starting with 'x_'. New 'phases' and 'types_in' interfaces have been added. - No longer relies on JSON backend for data structure cloning. This is much faster than using JSON::PP. [TESTS] - The 'extra_mappings' feature for meta merging is now tested and documented. - During tests, delete new environment variables added by Parse::CPAN::Meta 1.4418 [SPEC] - Clarifies acceptable values for booleans - Cleaned up text and links of historical specs. 2.150005 2015-06-09 19:08:44-06:00 America/Denver [TESTING] - Changed some test data from UTF-8 to ASCII 2.150004 2015-05-19 11:25:53-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE) [DOCUMENTED] - Noted explicitly that historical META spec files are licensed under the same terms as Perl [TESTING] - Added test for 'x_deprecated' field in "provides" [META] - declared extra developer prereq 2.150003 2015-04-21 19:41:15-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE) [CHANGED] - Serialized CPAN::Meta objects now include a x_serialization_backend entry 2.150002 2015-04-19 01:00:10+02:00 Europe/Berlin (TRIAL RELEASE) [CHANGED] - Metadata merging now does deep hash merging as long as keys don't conflict 2.150001 2015-03-09 14:41:39-04:00 America/New_York [DOCUMENTED] - Include allowed values for license field in 1.x historic licenses rather than linking to Module::Build - Documented when fragment merging became available 2.143240 2014-11-20 10:26:30-05:00 America/New_York [FIXED] - Give correct path in nested merges such as resources - Removed strings test that should have been removed when CPAN::Meta::Requirements was removed to a separate dist 2.142690 2014-09-26 11:06:34-04:00 America/New_York [FIXED] - Fixed use of incorrect method in CPAN::Meta::Merge implementation [DOCUMENTED] - Clarified that no_index is a list of exclusions, and that indexers should generally exclude 'inc', 'xt' and 't' as well. - CPAN::Meta::History::Meta_1_0 through 1_4 are added as a permanent record of 1.x versions of the metaspec 2.142060 2014-07-25 13:30:06-04:00 America/New_York [ADDED] - CPAN::Meta::Merge is a new class for merging two possibly overlapping instances of metadata. It will accept both CPAN::Meta objects and (possibly incomplete) hashrefs of metadata. 2.141520 2014-05-31 23:41:13-04:00 America/New_York [DOCUMENTED] - Clarified use of 'file' for the 'provides' field in the Spec 2.141170 2014-04-27 13:03:37-04:00 America/New_York [ADDED] - Added ability for CPAN::Meta::Converter to convert metadata fragments (incomplete portions of a metadata structure) [CHANGED] - Optimized internal use of JSON for datastructure cloning [FIXED] - Removed dependency on List::Util 1.33 [DOCUMENTED] - Clarified language around 'dynamic_config' in the Spec 2.140640 2014-03-05 09:07:05-05:00 America/New_York [FIXED] - A change to the default meta-spec URL in 2.140630 from search.cpan.org to metacpan.org broke Module::Build and ExtUtils::MakeMaker. This reverts that change. Also added the missing change note to the prior version. 2.140630 2014-03-04 15:23:40-05:00 America/New_York [CHANGED] - Default meta-spec URL points to metacpan.org instead of search.cpan.org [ADDED] - Added a 'load_string' method that guesses whether the string is YAML or JSON 2.133380 2013-12-03 23:01:07 America/New_York [FIXED] - Improved bad version handling during META conversion - When downgrading multiple licenses to version 1.x META formats, if all the licenses are open source, the downgraded license will be "open_source", not "unknown" 2.132830 2013-10-10 16:04:30 America/New_York [ADDED] - CPAN::Meta::Prereqs now has a 'merged_requirements' method for combining requirements across multiple phases and types [FIXED] - Invalid 'meta-spec' is no longer a fatal error: instead, it will usually be treated as spec version "1.0" (prior to formalization of the meta-spec field). Conversion has some heuristics for guessing a version depending on other fields if 'meta-spec' is missing or invalid. 2.132661 2013-09-23 13:27:46 America/New_York [FIXED] - updated Makefile.PL logic to support PERL_NO_HIGHLANDER [PREREQS] - Dropped ExtUtils::MakeMaker configure_requires dependency to 6.17 2.132660 2013-09-23 06:04:04 America/New_York [FIXED] - Installation on Perls < 5.12 will uninstall older versions installed due to being bundled with ExtUtils::MakeMaker 2.132620 2013-09-19 11:18:33 America/New_York [CHANGED] - META validation used to allow a scalar value when a list (i.e. array reference) was required for a field. This has been tightened and validation will now fail if a scalar value is given. Conversion will continue to turn scalars into an array reference as it previously did. 2.132510 2013-09-08 10:17:29 America/New_York [FIXED] - Fixed incorrectly encoded META.yml 2.132140 2013-08-02 11:54:17 America/New_York [DOCUMENTATION] - Fixed some typos in CPAN::Meta::Spec [OTHER] - migrated repository to Perl-Toolchain-Gang organization on Github and updated metadata accordingly 2.131560 2013-06-05 15:26:36 America/New_York [DOCUMENTATION] - Replaced CPAN::Meta SYNOPSIS with code that actually works 2.131490 2013-05-29 14:15:16 America/New_York [BUGFIX] - Downconversion of custom resources was not dropping the leading "x_". Now "x_MailingList" will downconvert correctly to "MailingList". [SPEC] - Per the Lancaster Consensus, the 'file' subkey of a package listed in 'provides' must refer to an actual file in the distribution, either the .pm file that provides the package or another file (*.PL) that generates it 2.130880 2013-03-29 09:51:00 America/New_York [BUGFIX] - Fix provides 'version' bug introduced in the 2.130870 fix 2.130870 2013-03-28 11:08:50 America/New_York [BUGFIX] - Don't add 'version' to 'provides' during conversion if one didn't exist in the original [Reported by Miyagawa; fixed by David Golden] 2.120921 2012-04-01 15:20:24 Europe/Paris [REMOVED] - CPAN::Meta::Requirements has been split out into its own distribution so it can be used by CPAN.pm without requiring all of CPAN::Meta 2.120920 2012-04-01 11:30:43 Europe/Paris [ADDED] - CPAN::Meta::Requirements now has a 'requirements_for_module' method to retrieve a version requirements string for a specific module [Leon Timmermans] [OTHER] - Parse::CPAN::Meta prerequisite bumped to 1.4403 - JSON::PP prerequisites bumped to 2.27200 - CPAN::Meta::YAML prerequisite bumped to 0.008 2.120900 2012-03-30 13:15:15 Europe/Paris [BUGFIX] - CPAN::Meta::Requirements now treats undef requirements given to from_string_hash() as '0' and warns about it; add_string_requirements() dies if it does not get a requirements string to parse 2.120630 2012-03-03 14:48:35 EST5EDT [BUGFIX] - CPAN::Meta::Requirements now ensures that dotted-decimal versions are represented in normalized form when stringified. This fixes a regression in META conversion in 2.120620. [Reported by Kent Fredric; fixed by David Golden] 2.120620 2012-03-02 12:28:59 EST5EDT [ADDED] - CPAN::Meta::Requirements::add_string_requirements allows building a requirements specification piecemeal [Cory G. Watson] [BUGFIX] - Version range handling fixed [rt.cpan.org #75424] - CPAN::Meta::Converter handles bad version strings more gracefully, truncating alphanumerics and otherwise falling back to "0". This is likely better than dropping a prerequisite or dying. [rt.cpan.org #75427] 2.120530 2012-02-22 16:15:31 EST5EDT [OTHER] - Dialed back perl prereq to 5.006 2.120351 2012-02-03 23:01:45 America/New_York [OTHER] - Fixed CPAN packaging errors 2.120350 2012-02-03 22:46:59 America/New_York [BUGFIX] - Work around a memory leak bug involving version objects in boolean context. 2.113640 2011-12-30 15:19:46 America/New_York [OTHER] - Version::Requirements has now been merged as CPAN::Meta::Requirements, rendering Version::Requirements itself redundant 2.112621 2011-09-19 12:15:16 America/New_York [BUGFIX] - Spell BACKEND environment variables correctly this time [noticed by Stevan Little] 2.112620 2011-09-18 20:56:06 America/New_York [BUGFIX] - Protect tests against PERL_(YAML|JSON)_BACKEND settings that could cause tests to fail.
