Revision history for Alien-Build

2.84      2024-10-28 18:51:39 -0600
  - Added is_system_install and is_share_install methods to
    Alien::Build (gh#418, gh#420, shawnlaffan++)
  - Some comment and documentation spelling fixes (gh#250)

2.83      2024-06-05 15:06:15 -0600
  - Production release identical to 2.82_01

2.82_01   2024-05-25 01:49:23 -0600
  - CPU detection with archname arm64- prefix (gh#411, gh#412)

2.81_01   2023-06-24 09:54:28 -0600
  - Added support for xz compression with
    Alien::Build::Plugin::Extract::ArchiveTar (gh#404)
  - Extract negotiator (Alien::Build::Plugin::Extract::Negotiate)
    now prefers the Extract::ArchiveTar plugin for tar.xz files.
    On Windows Extract::ArchiveTar is now always used for tar.xz
    files because the BSD tar that comes with Windows can hang
    on tar.xz if xz is in the PATH (gh#403, gh#404)

2.80      2023-05-11 16:31:46 -0600
  - Documentation improvements (gh#399, gh#400, gh#401, gh#402)
  - Do not generate .../Install/Files.pm if one is provided by the
    Alien (gh#393, gh#397)

2.79      2023-05-05 15:08:46 -0600
  - Updated non-binding support for Perls to match the policy
    of the Perl toolchain (Perls older than 10 years old are
    unsupported, with a one-time exception of Perl 5.16).  The
    intent is not to suddenly drop support for older Perls, but
    the Alien-Build team may take advantage of features in
    supported Perls that will effectively remove compatability
    with unsupported Perls.

2.78      2023-03-07 11:49:27 -0700
  - Test fix to handle Perls with space in the path (gh#391, mohawk++)

  - Documentation improvements (gh#389, #gh#390)

2.76      2022-12-28 18:30:39 -0700
  - Fix inline_auto_include so that it gives priority to
    the .runtime.inline_auto_include property

2.75      2022-12-21 21:03:27 -0700
  - The Download::Negotiate plugin will no longer pick the
    Fetch::CurlCommand plugin (unless bootstrap_ssl option is
    chosen), because it relies on the -J option which is
    unfortunately not reliable.  When a more reliable method
    can be used by Fetch::CurlCommand we will likely go back
    to preferring it (gh#384, gh#385)

2.74      2022-11-27 08:26:06 -0700
  - Patches to Test::Alien to make it safe for C99
    (gh#383, Florian Weimer++)

2.73      2022-11-20 07:23:46 -0700

    digest_or_encrypt (gh#382)

2.72      2022-10-26 06:28:00 -0600
  - Improved diagnostic when all links are excluded by the filter
    stage (gh#380)

  - alien_diag from Test::Alien::Diag now can optionaly take a
    hash reference as its last argument (gh#365, gh#366)
  - alien_diag supports two new options properties and
    list_properties (gh#365, gh#366)

    gracefully (gh#363, gh#364)

  - Validate SSL certificates for Fetch::HTTPTiny plugin if
    ALIEN_DOWNLOAD_RULE is one of encrypt, digest_or_encrypt
    or digest_and_encrypt (gh#362)

2.64      2022-08-30 10:09:42 -0600
  - Production release identical to 2.63.01
  - !!! Notice of Change of Behavior !!!

    In the near future, AB will require by default one of:

     1. Secure https connection
     2. Bundled pacakge (ie file:// URL)
     3. Cryptographic signature

    before extracting archives fetched off the internet.  You can test
    the new behavior yourself by setting
    ALIEN_DOWNLOAD_RULE to `digest_or_encrypt`.  More details can
    be found in the Alien::Build::Manual::Security POD

    !!! Notice of Change of Behavior !!!

    the same as 'warn' but will probably become 'digest_or_encrypt' in
    the future (gh#356)

2.62_01   2022-08-29 15:03:53 -0600

  - Documentation improvements (gh#337, gh#341)
  - Do not allow downgrading from SSL if start_url is https.  This is
    done by filtering non-SSL URLs from the candidate listif the start_url

  - Better support for Alien::MSYS + Test::Alien (gh#323)
  - Better handle it when flags are undef by not passing into

    the target path (gh#290, gh#292 kiwiroy++)

2.45      2021-10-28 04:55:28 -0600
  - On macOS / OS X the Build::Copy plugin now uses cp -pPR instead of
    cp -aR; on modern macOS this does the same thing, on very old versions

  - Use parent instead of base in code and documentation (gh#268)

2.40      2021-05-13 06:44:37 -0600
  - Test::Alien tests will issue a diagnostic if you call them without
    alien_ok which is probably a mistake (gh#262, gh#263)

2.39_01   2021-05-12 04:14:06 -0600
  - Add support for HTTP request headers on all appropriate core fetch plugins

  - The fetch method on Alien::Build  now has a http_headers option
    (gh#256, gh#259)
  - Fix bug where symlinks to directories were incorrectly being skipped

2.38      2021-01-11 14:35:54 -0700
  - Fixed a bug the can cause an array dereference error in pkg-config command line
    plugin on MSYS2 / MinGW environment (gh#243)

    directory on MSWin32 (gh#183)

2.15      2020-03-16 06:53:31 -0600
  - Tests on Windows will use the system temp directory rather than
    a temp directory under the install directory. A temp directory
    under the install directory was used to work around typically
    Linux systems that have noexec set on /tmp.  Since this is less
    normal on Windows, and can cause mkpath errors if the install
    directory is too deep we will use the windows system temp directory.

  - Improved documentation (gh#106).
  - Updated spec for ALIEN_INSTALL_TYPE.  When set, Alien consumers that

    which was expressed on systems without curl installed.

1.58_01   2019-02-27 12:50:20 -0500
  - Prefer Fetch::CurlCommand over Fetch::HTTPTiny for https when:
     * Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL are not installed
     * AND curl is installed
     * AND curl supports https
    This makes AB more reliable on platforms like OS X when openssl
    is broken without a third party package system like homebrew,
    and on older Perls like 5.8.x where Net::SSLeay frequently does
    not install or pass tests.
    The existing behavior of prefer Fetch::HTTPTiny when:
     * Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL are already installed
     * OR the URL is http
     * OR curl is not already installed
    is still in effect. (gh#93, gh#94)

  - Prefer Alien::unzip over Archive::Zip.  The latter turns out to be broken
    on one platform or another for much of the time.  (gh#74, gh#89).

1.53_01   2019-02-21 11:35:47 -0500
  - Prefer PkgConfig::PP on MSWin32 where it is more reliable. (gh#82, gh#85)
  - Test tar command before blindly using it (tests were already
    being made for compressed tars "tar.gz", "tar.xz", etc) (gh#86, gh#87)
  - Tweaks to test suite to hopefully accommodate a haiku install (gh#81)
  - Add atleast_version, exact_version and max_version properties for
    pkg-config plugins (gh#78, gh#79)

1.52      2019-02-09 05:45:12 -0500
  - Use $alien->libs -L flags to help find system dynamic libs.

1.51      2019-01-19 14:23:23 -0500

    for cmake projects using GNUInstallDirs on platforms that default to
    something other than lib.

  - Removed temp testing files unintentionally included in the previous
    release.

    sometimes have its BUILD_REQUIRES or TEST_REQUIRES overridden by
    Dist::Zilla otherwise.

1.49      2018-11-04 15:22:40 -0500
  - Added Alien::Build::Plugin::Test::Mock
  - Added alienfile_skip_if_missing_prereqs function to Test::Alien::Build

    Test2::API is still a run-time dependency, but that has
    been in-core since 5.26.

    capability missing from Alien::Role::Alt
  - Fix bug in Alien::Build::MM where 'make alien_prop_runtime' printed
    install instead of runtime properties

1.44_01   2018-06-20 06:36:57 -0600
  - Added Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::GoodVersion

1.43      2018-06-03 06:41:28 -0400
  - Documentation fixes
  - Use a custom site.config to ensure libraries are installed in lib

    (this was already handled correctly by Alien::Base::Wrapper).
  - Remove cpp and C++ options for xs_ok (I don't believe these were used in practice
    and were issuing deprecation warnings for a while).
  - A number of documentation errors have been fixed (jjatria++ leto++)
