With the new cpantesters, the yaml files got redone which broke the ->fetch_report code

Changes for 0.87_02 Sat Jun 13 13:13:58 2009

Fix typo in the help message for the default shell

Changes for 0.87_01 Fri Jun 12 18:54:27 2009

CPANPLUS now supports installing a directory as well. From the shell, try: 'i /path/to/module' or 'i .' for the current directory. Thanks to Chris Williams for the feature.
Skip EU::I tests due to #46890: ExtUtils::Installed + EU::MM PREFIX= don't always work well together
Address #46249: Upgrade requires 'x' because of change in .stored format CPANPLUS now stores it's own version + that of storable in the .stored files to ensure the .stored file is compatible with your CPANPLUS. Additionally, all .stored files are whiped when you update your CPANPLUS
Address #46055: CPANPLUS::Dist::MM::prepare fails when directory has spaces. Thanks to James Mastros for the additional patch
Address #45644: detect broken index. CPANPLUS now checks the header for 02packages.details to see if the file contains at least the amount of entries specified in the header.
Find_configure_requires should return an empty hashref on parse errors, DateTime::Format::Pg triggers this for example

Changes for 0.8601 Mon Apr 27 18:07:34 2009

Older versions of CPANPLUS::Dist::Build use the (private) module CPANPLUS::inc, which got removed in the 0.86 release. C::D::Build versions of 0.24 and higher are not affected by this, and CPANPLUS now specifies 0.24 as a minimum requirement. Users of C::D::Build of version 0.24 or higher need not upgrade.

Changes for 0.86 Sun Apr 26 17:27:54 2009

Promote 0.85_09 to stable
Update bundled modules

Changes for 0.85_09 Thu Apr 23 15:32:49 2009

ExtUtils::Installed functions wouldn't work properly if the install prefix was set to something containing ~, like for example '~/perl'. If we encounter this, substitute the ~ for the real home dir so EU::Installed's path lookups work properly.
Work around a bug in version.pm which causes 64bit 5.8.x installs to fail big version comparisons. See here for details: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=45241

Changes for 0.85_08 Mon Apr 20 18:54:49 2009

Fix issues with $mod->package_is_perl_core; The conditionals were the wrong way around, thanks to BingOS for spotting

Changes for 0.85_07 Tue Feb 24 18:27:37 2009

Address: #44562: $mod->package_is_perl_code: problem comparing version strings. The method would warn when a version contained a non-numeric character. This is now fixed.
Address #43355: (possibly harmless) Warning in CPANPLUS-Dist-MM Make sure to quell the warning when 'makemakerflags' is set to undef instead of the empty string.
ExtUtils::Installed methods were not handed all possible include directories to scan, as they were found to vary on non-Unix OS's. All possible paths are now added for scanning.
Make sure we don't overwrite $mod->status->dist/dist_cpan so ->save_state will DTRT upon restore.
Make sure we call $mod->add_to_include_path again, just in case we came from ->save_state, at which point we need to restore @INC/$PERL5LIB
t/20 now uses global verbosity settings
Avoid duplicates in PERL5LIB, just like we do for @INC when calling $mod->add_to_includepath and add tests for it.
Get rid of CPANPLUS::inc; it's not used anywhere anymore
Remove deleted files from manifest
Update bundled modules

Changes for 0.85_06 Tue Feb 24 18:27:37 2009

This is a test suite fix. Users of 0.85_05 need not upgrade.
With configure_requires/C::D::Build bootstrapping, the tests in t/21_CPANPLUS-Dist-No-Build.t were no longer correct and caused test failures on machines without C::D::Build installed.

Changes for 0.85_05 Mon Feb 16 12:13:18 2009

Address: #39399: configure_requires doesn't quite work yet; CPANPLUS now bootstraps CPANPLUS::Dist::Build and Module::Build if the module-to-beinstalled requires it. Used 't CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Build' to verify against a pristine 5.8.8 as well as adding tests to t/21 to make sure this mechanism works.
Address #43128: Fixes 'no such module perl on CPAN' errors: when 'perl' is listed as a prerequisite, its version should be checked, but should not be checked against the index of modules on CPAN
Address: #40255: Special case for 'perl' requirement: if a requirement for 'perl' is specified in the META.yml/PREREQ_PM/Build.PL, it is now special cased and CPANPLUS will verify the version of perl you are using is uptodate. This is equivalent to the more traditional 'require 5.x.y' at the top of a Makefile.PL
Address #41760: [PATCH] Add 'build_dir_reuse' option. This adds $cb->save_state as an API call, which makes it possible to save state between two sessions.
Inspired by: #39095: Multiple modules with different version numbers in one release go wrong: CPANPLUS now adds the version numbers of the modules in the Contains: line in the default shell
Add all the return values from the CPAN Testers report to $mod->fetch_report, not just selected fields.
Add $module->installed_dir as a feature; this requires a newer Module::Load::Conditional
When a user generated config.pm changes the base dir, CPANPLUS will now rescan for config files in that base dir too
New edge case in package naming discovered; adapt regex and add tests
Address: #41756 (Prerequisite Lists Inconsistent) by using $cb->versionto_number for Bundle::* modules as well
Address: #41157: Module::module_is_supplied_with_perl_core() broken for perl 5.10
Address #39948: Test warnings in 0.85_04; quell more warnings
Address #40892: Fix CPANPLUS::Config docs to be more clear on how to set/change configs
Remove independant version statements; all versions are now derived from CPANPLUS::Internals::Version
Mention the sqlite backend in a tip
Test fix to set makeflags as we intended to do. required to deal with IPC::Cmd 0.42, which parses whitespace slightly different on win32
Updated bundled modules

Changes for 0.85_04 Mon Sep 8 15:37:01 2008

Updated CPAN Testers reporting to follow new project guidelines: modules authors are no longer copied on reports (the dontcc config option has been removed); failures during *.PL or make stages are now reported as UNKNOWN instead of FAIL; output buffer now included in NA reports
Set $ENV{MAILDOMAIN} so that T::R does not try to resolve our maildomain, which can lead to large timeouts for every invocation in T::R < 1.51_01 see: http://code.google.com/p/test-reporter/issues/detail?id=15
Address #38324: no caching of CHECKSUMS Checksum files are now cached for 3600 seconds by default to avoid refetching to often. This can be overrided by force or setting a lower ttl.
Address #38290: CPANPLUS::Backend->install() always reindexes Params::Check::NO_DUPLICATES was enabled, and that meant an empty hash lookup. Use the assigned scalar instead
Some speed ups for the sqlite engine. turns out dbix::simple's (??) expansion is very expensive
Address: #38643: CPANPLUS::Backend methods are not $_ safe. Make sure all while( <$fh> ) is written as while( local $ = <$fh>)
Address #34345: Should be able to send reports via system add 'cpantestreporter_args' so you can add extra arguments to test::reporter's new method sendmail
Address: #37652: Infinite loop in Setup.pm This was merely a wording issue; made the help text more clear

Changes for 0.85_03 Wed Jul 23 02:07:11 2008

Add experimental SQLite backend for sources. This can be used instead of the normal memory/storable implementation. You can enable it by running by starting the default shell and typing: 's conf source_engine CPANPLUS::Internals::Source::SQLite; s save'
Selfupdate now understands the SQLite dependencies
Setup knows how to ask you about SQLite
CPANPLUS::Dist::new() is now implemented as a properly inherited method, with no additional magic. Now, dists are instantiated as: use base 'CPANPLUS::Dist::Base'; CPANPLUS::Dist::YourDist->new;
Add diagnostic to 's mirrors' to show how to edit the list This address #37651: Explain the best way to add mirrors

Changes for 0.85_02 Sun May 18 17:40:56 2008

Speed up search slightly be not checking the template
Speed up $author->distributions call a lot by not using clone (which in the end scans through the entire module tree for dslip info)
Make the package_* functions take an argument for parsing
Speed up clone() a bit
Meta files were showing up in the $author->distributions call. These are now filtered out.

Changes for 0.85_01 Sun Apr 6 15:22:43 2008

Address #34519 Getting Wrong File with SENGER/NET-IPFilterSimple_V1.1.tar.gz The delimiter () was being replaced by - after parsing. This is now fixed.
Depend on a newer EU::Installed (1.42), so we can now install into a non-site wide dir and actually do uninstalls properly. Requires a few clever dir manipulations from our side, but it works.
Change tests in 20.t accordingly so test suite no longer needs to install site wide for testing purposes.
When changing the 'lib' param in your config using 's edit' from the default shell, it wouldn't propagate to the current process. The same applied to changing the @INC or $ENV{PERL5LIB}. This is now fixed.
Address: #12355: Add an 'all' option when asking about dependencies. Users can now select 'yes to all' or 'no to all' when asked about installing prerequisites.
Implement the META.yml directive 'configurerequires:', which states a package needs to be installed before running Makefile.PL. This uses the new module Parse::CPAN::Meta, which is now bundled and part of the core prerequisites.
Address: #31279: CPANPLUS should automatically install Module::Build and necessary tools. We now automatically add CPANPLUS::Dist::Build to 'configure_requires' when it's needed to install a module and not present
Address #32248 to make it possible to turn off custom sources by doing: 's conf enables_custom_sources 0' from the default shell or config file.
Address: #32064: NA reports generated for failing tests where core prereqs are specified. Use CPANPLUS::Module::module_is_supplied_with_perl_core to detect if a module is part of perl core or not.
Add proper support for installing autobundles. $mod->is_bundle recognizes autobundle snapshots too now.
Quell 'non numeric' warnings when loading modules that have a non-float as version numbers.
In the default shell, show version numbers in loaded plugin overview.

Changes for 0.84 Fri Dec 14 13:31:39 2007

Promote 0.83_10 to stable.

Changes for 0.83_10 Wed Nov 14 12:57:45 2007

Various VMS patches from John M.
Skip tests for custom sources on Win32 if the full file path is longer than 260 chars (longest file size supported on Win32).
Depend on File::Fetch 0.13_04 for Win32 & VMS file:// support
Depend on Term::UI 0.18 for default shell option parsing

Changes for 0.83_09 Fri Nov 9 14:17:14 2007

Make sure to use $Config{path_sep} to create environment variables portably. This addresses a test failure on VMS.
Update 'use sudo' heuristics; if you have $ENV{PERL_MM_OPT} set with an INSTALL, LIB or PREFIX option, we assume you have write permissions to your install location, and you do not need sudo. This can of course be overriden using your config.

Changes for 0.83_08 Sat Nov 3 18:35:54 2007

Apply adapted version of dmq's Win32 fixes for fetching file:// URIs. This depends on File::Fetch 0.13_01 or greater.

Changes for 0.83_07 Wed Oct 24 17:42:43 2007

VMS patch from John M: safepath must be called before catdir because catdir on VMS currently will not handle the extra dots in the directories.
Make sure we clean up tempdirs when writing custom index files.

Changes for 0.83_06 Tue Oct 23 11:31:10 2007

More VMS fixes from John M:

C::I::Utils->safepath should do nothing if it is given a path in VMS format already.
In 15_CPANPLUS-Shell.t, two regex's needed to be case insensitive.
In C::Dist::MM, do the safepath on the $dir path, not the path with a file. The safepath must be done before the catfile() builds the path.
In C::Shell::Default::Plugins::CustomSource, try the hash lookup with a lower case key on VMS if the exact case key failed.

Changes for 0.83_05 Wed Oct 17 15:21:01 2007

Address #29904: make test should not use sudo. Don't try to install if the configuration thinks sudo is needed -- that's no guarantee it will work
More VMS fixes from John M:
- Make sure file look ups are done case insensitively for custom sources
- Make ->module_tree work case insensitive on VMS by calling ->search under the hood
- Revert back to old behaviour in ->allinstalled now that ->module_tree is fixed for vms
Depend on version 0.73, for ~0 bugfixes
Don't depend on File::Fetch for test reporting -- it's already part of the core cpanplus chain
Update bundled modules

Changes for 0.83_04 Mon Oct 15 14:18:40 2007

Set ENV COLUMNS & LINES to make sure Term::ReadKey can figure out dimensions and stop it from dying in the test suite.
More VMS fixes from John Malmberg

Changes for 0.83_03 Mon Oct 15 11:38:39 2007

Make $mod->dslip() query other modules in the same package if there's no dslip entry for this particular module.
Add an --install option to cpan2dist
More VMS fixes from John Malmberg

Changes for 0.83_02 Tue Oct 9 13:46:48 2007

Add a /cs plugin to CPANPLUS::Shell::Default allowing you to add custom sources from outside the CPAN. These custom sources are attributed to the author 'LOCAL' -- See '/cs --help' from the default shell.
Improved parsing for URI targets to parse_module: try to determine module name and version contained in the tarball if posible
Address #29796 (error with funktion 'o' after installing Alien::wxWidgets) File::Find dies when it encounters a dir or symlink twice, which is what A::wxWidgets does. Use follow_skip => 2 to get around this.
Address bug #29716: 20_CPANPLUS-Dist-MM.t fails (and leaves test files installed) when EUMM options include INSTALL_BASE
Address #29430: Remove LWP as a dependency for CPANPLUS::Internals::Report it now uses File::Fetch, like the rest of CPANPLUS. Thanks to BingOS for reporting
Apply patch #29218: Patch to use YAML::Tiny instead of YAML for test reporting
Apply Change 31800 by rgs@stcosmo to recognize 5.10 as a valid perl version
Require Module::Load::Conditional 0.18 -- this uses version.pm for version comparisons
Depend on T::Reporter 1.34 due to many bug fixes
Enable verbose mode in tests if ENV{PERL5_CPANPLUS_TEST_VERBOSE} is true
Load the module tree before attempting to write a bundle, just in case we chdir and things go haywire
Allow passing of a $Conf to C::S::Default->new
Delay plugin initialization until C::S::Default->new time
Delay loading of CPANPLUS::Configure as long as we can, so we can still pass our own $Conf iif possible
Add test cases for CPANPLUS::Shell::Default->dispatch_on_input
Disable pager during tests
Use absolute path to our dummy-cpan dir, as some of the underlying code may chdir
Add constant for author name to be used in tests
Replace 'print' and 'printf' calls with '$self->__print' and '->__printf', so we can do proper tests on the output
Don't use ~0 as a max version number, but divide by two, so we don't get integer overflows in version.pm
Add C::I::Utils->uridecode and C::I::Utils->uriencode for URI encoding to be used by the 'custom sources' code.
Make C::I::Utils->hostto_uri properly unixify a path
Make sure $cb->installed works on vms by dealing with filenames and case sensitivity correctly. This is another patch from John M.
Fix up safepath for VMS, this can now be released
Move all distributions under dummy-CPAN down two levels (from authors/id/E/EU/EUNOXS to authors/id/EUNOXS) to get around VMS/VAX 8 directoy level depth
Another vms fix by John M: 'Makefile' is called 'DESCRIP.MMS' on VMS, depending on what 'make' was used to build perl
Weird Unix vs VMS file type issues on VMS, add a work around provided by John M.
Use a search on VMS when figuring out what moduels are installed, as the OS doesn't retain case, so we can't do a direct lookup in the module tree
1 while unlink fixes from John M. for VMS
Proper %ENV restore fix on VMS from John M.
Apply a VMS patch from John Malmber as offered in his mail to p5p 3rd of Sept. 2007 [patch@31780] fixes for cpanplus on VMS: In lib/CPANPLUS/Internals/Extract.pm, catdir on VMS can not deal with directory components with dots in them. Need to translate them as VMS.C in the default mode expects them. This is a temporary hack that will need to be revised as ODS-5 support is integrated in to Perl.
Reset %ENV explicitly on VMS. John Malmberg reports (on 3/9/07) that changes to %ENV persist on VMS, causing an overflow after a few runs, since we append to it.
Be case tolerant -- especially VMS seems to suffer from this. In the end, almost all FS, except some UNIX ones are case tolerant, so just use a qr//i
Apply Change 31776 by craigb@craigb-brianor on 2007/08/31 22:42:43 catdir was used where catfile was meant in C::I::Extract

Changes for 0.82 Wed Aug 15 15:36:57 2007

Address [perl #43629] Perl 5.9.5. cpanp-run-perl not present as reported by Michael Cartmell. When running the tests, don't scan your include dirs/home dir for other CPANPLUS::Config::* entries, as they might contain data not correct for this test run.
Search the path paralel to your $^X explicitly for cpanp-run-perl (suggested by david cantrell)
Various clean ups in the CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugin::Remote plugin.
Small documentation fixes.

Changes for 0.81_01 Sat Jul 7 10:45:37 2007

Add a callback to the CPANPLUS core for munging metafiles
Address #27562 (A way to specify external dependencies would be grand) by adding a --edit-metafile option to cpan2dist to allow you to edit generated metafiles, if your ::Dist::* plugin supports it
Make common shell options clearer in both hints and help message
Address #27914: Make the instructions in the Makefile.PL clearer as to how to install prerequisites. Patch submitted by Andy Dougherty
Address #27910: we didnt check for Module::Signature being present, just it's prereqs when heuristically configuring CPANPLUS for signature checking. Now, we also check for Module::Signature
Address #27913 documentation error in Makefile.PL that incorrectly showed how to invoke interactive configuration after installation
Clearer diagnostic when cpanp-run-perl can't be found

address: #27057: Dry runs and dep tree. Make it possible to view which modules will be updated for what reasons when running 'selfupdate'. 's selfupdate' in the shell now prints this dependency tree out and also offers a --dryrun option
address: #27174: No way to pass case-insensitive patterns to ignorelist; All --ignore/--ban options for cpan2dist are now case insensitive
address: #26583: display of installed/required in report is confusing; Add a header to the columns generated for clarity
tweak test conf to play nicer with perl core
show version number when testing/installing
add callback to allow to continue after a failed 'make test' or 'build test'
reapply core patch #31028 -- it got lost somehow this fixes test setups under perl_core
add --set-config and --set-program to cpan2dist to overwrite random config entries for this invocation only
document all the options in CPANPLUS::Config
make saving cpanp-boxed config Just Work and add a banner to cpanp-boxed to tell you how to
expand the help text for 's' with options where applicable
clarify * and .. hint in default shell
silence warning in config.pm when a path to an .exe is not defined
The test suite now adds the '/nologo' option when the user has 'nmake.exe' configured as their 'make' program, to limit the amount of noise on the terminal.

Changes for 0.79_02 Tue May 8 13:14:12 2007

address #26914 : CPANPLUS depending on Crypt::OpenPGP even when gpg is available. Change heuristics so we always use gpg when it's there and don't suggest to install Crypt::OpenPGP, as it's quite broken on a lot of platforms. This may cause a warning or 2, but all will continue to work
Logic bug in 'selfupdate --latest=0' is now fixed, with --latest=0 selfupdate should no longer be picking the newest version from CPAN if the current version is good enough
let perlwrapper be '' as well -- '-P' actually changes the format of some generated Makefiles
perlwrapper is no longer required to have Dist::MM to be available
apply Change 31121 by steveh@mugwump on 2007/05/03 07:51:17 this gets around the 'read only' issue of some files in perl-core when rsynced/extracted from uupacktool under win32
cleanup t/.cpanplus dir when doing 'make clean' as well.
make sure we pass 'prereq_format' along, so prereqs get packaged properly as well. This addresses a mail from Hans Dieter Pearcey (hdp@icgroup.com) raising the issue.

Changes for 0.79_01 Sun Apr 22 09:57:45 2007

Updates to integrate perl-core integration. Regular users do not need to upgrade.
Add clean up calls at the end of the tests as well if we're run from perl core. this is because perl core doesn't invoke our 'make clean', and files will be left that aren't in the manifest.
Make the scan for 'cpanp-run-perl' also consider cpanp-runperl 5.X.Y as it may be installed with the perl version as suffix explicitly
address: 26077: dependency on itself; CPANPLUS had a depenendency on the shell class you set as a default, even if that was a shell provided with CPANPLUS itself. This caused CPAN.pm to throw a fatal error, as it did not know how to resolve this dependency. CPANPLUS users were unaffected. Now, no dependency is added if the selected shell is bundled with CPANPLUS itself.
Add simple loadtest for CPANPLUS::Shell

Changes for 0.78 Sat Mar 31 18:26:13 CEST 2007

Promote 0.77_07 to stable
Update license & contact information
Make sure we don't install 'cpanp-boxed' when running 'make install'.
Update bundled version of Module::Install
Set install target to 'perl' for perl5.9.5 and higher

Changes for 0.77_07 Fri Mar 23 17:19:07 CET 2007

Smoke test revealed issue that PERL5_CPANPLUS_IS_VERSION may not be formatted identically as $CPANPLUS::VERSION if certain versions of 'version.pm' are loaded. This is now addressed.
Tests for CPANPLUS::Dist::MM would fail on Win32 if the path to the Makefile.PL contains spaces. This is now addressed by calling Win32::GetShortPathName() if run on Win32.

Changes for 0.77_06 Fri Mar 23 13:29:54 CET 2007

Various test reporting fixes;
- Add the leading '!' to missing prereqs, inspired by CPAN::Reporter
- Address bug #25327: do not count as FAIL modules where prereqs are
  not filled. Now, when tests fail and:
  - version of prereqs installed is too low, send NA
    - prereq is not available on CPAN, send NA
Address: #25410: cpan2dist needs posibility for passing arbitary parameters to $obj->install; cpan2dist now accepts --dist-opts foo=bar
Add PERL5_CPANPLUS_IS_VERSION as environment variable. It's set to the version of CPANPLUS running. Requested by Adam Kennedy <cpan@ali.as>.
Last statement evaluated in a Makefile.PL may be undef -- so don't die on that case in cpanp-run-perl
Some users add '.pm' to their package tarballs. fix the package string parser to recognize this and deal with it.
Address #25038 (Wrong platforms for MSDOS) and actually test modules in the MSDOS:: namespace on dos|os2|MSWin32|cygwin

Changes for 0.77_05 Sun Feb 25 17:17:44 CET 2007

Set $ENV{PERL5_CPANPLUS_IS_EXECUTING} to the full path of the Makefile.PL file when running 'perl Makefile.PL'. Requested by Adam Kennedy <cpan@ali.as>.

Changes for 0.77_04 Mon Feb 19 08:05:52 CET 2007

CPAN testers reported test counter mismatches when test reporting was enabled vs disabled. This is purely a test counter issue. No functional code has been replaced. If you have installed 0.77_03, there is no need to upgrade to 0.77_04.

Changes for 0.77_03 Sun Feb 18 17:35:12 CET 2007

Rework the parse_module code; regex is more complex, but also more correct
Allow for more lenient parsing of module names, when the module name and package name do not match
Extend parse_module documentation to include URI
Patch Module.pm->package_name regex to also parse 'perl5.6.1' style packages
The package_[name, version, extension] subroutines are also reworked and use the same regular expression as parse_module does now
Add 'name' to the list of accessors returned by $mod->accessors (it's an alias to ->module)
'installsiteman3dir' is a 5.8'ism which causes warnings under 5.6 so only check it if it is defined
Add the version number to the install log file name
Add "rescan" option to $conf->init to re-check your path for valid CPANPLUS::Config::* files
Warn if you're using the old "PERL5_CPANPLUS_CONFIG" env var to point to specific config files ( rt #23721 )
Make $conf->save return the file name it saved to
Apply the suggested patch from Grant Mclean that calls $cb->flush(lib) just before 'make install' is called, so the blib/ dir is no longer at the front of the path. XML::SAX was writing a file dynamically based on @INC.
address RT #22962 Funky error messages when command-line args are missed: the default shell now has increased parsing logic
The check to see if the 'storable' feature was enabled was faulty. This has now been fixed.
Use the full path to a module's Makefile.PL when installing a module, so we don't pick up another Makefile.PL that happens to be in your @INC path.
No longer use can_run() to find cpanp-run-perl, as it's not an executable. Scan path manually in CPANPLUS::Config.
Document details() items properly
Show installed file in the details section
Fix documentation error for $cb->homedir (#rt 23196)
Log which configs are loaded at startup time; The shell default's banner shows you how to view these logs.
Make /showtips a plugin command
Extend CPANPLUS::Shell::Default synopsis with --xxx style options
Move to dummy modules for our tests, rather than bundled real modules.
All .t files now use t/inc/conf.pl exclusively for changes in the PATH/ENV/etc settings. This fix allows CPANPLUS to test cleanly with bleadperl (5.9.5)
Clean up the .cpanplus dir in the dummy-cpanplus directory at the start of every test to make sure we're running with a clean cache
Test fixes for Win32
Disable IPC::Run on Win32 during 'make test'. IPC::Run gets unhappy about having 'odd' FDs allocated to it under Win32.
Update bundled modules
update bundled modules, includes version.pm for the first time
Add realclean targets for our dummy perl directory

Changes for 0.077_02 Fri Oct 20 15:28:22 CEST 2006

Implemented selfupdate functionality. You can use 's selfupdate' from the default shell. This will also work for bootstrapping purposes
Hints to use 'Bundle::CPANPLUS::Dependencies' have been removed in favour of 's selfupdate'
The default shell now shows tips at start up
Dont throw an error if a core module has the same version as it's duallifed counterpart on CPAN -- we can still install from CPAN
Update bundled modules
Remove cpanplus inc dir from @INC once we dispatch to cpanp from cpanp-boxed
Depend on newer versions of Object::Accessor and IPC::Cmd

Changes for 0.076 Fri Oct 13 14:37:27 CEST 2006

run external perl commands using cpanp-run-perl to enable autoflushing cross-platform, cross-ipc-module.
separate formats for printing 'conf' and 'program' sections
Add Module::ThirdParty support [rt #12131], see 'CPANPLUS::Module' documentation for usage
add cpantest_mx config option [rt #21346], see 'CPANPLUS::Internals::Report' documentation for usage.
update bundled modules, most notably IPC::Cmd, which should improve executing sub-commands significantly.

Changes for 0.075_01 Thu Oct 5 17:08:27 CEST 2006

Various small fixes to make CPANPLUS work better on Win32 Most of these fixes are done in the bundled modules or dependencies of CPANPLUS
update bundled modules from CPAN
no longer bundle IPC::Run, it's too unreliable
delete failed requires from %INC in cpanp-boxed
make sure we use 4-arg substr to avoid warning in default shell
skip undefined messages to error()/msg()

Changes for 0.074 Fri Sep 8 13:12:37 CEST 2006

remove the requires: section in META.yml; CPAN.pm thinks it's authoritive for requirement declarations and therefor gets our prereqs wrong.
replace CPANPLUS::Dist::Sample with the actual functional CPANPLUS::Dist::Base
increase the number of digits after the comma displayed in version numbers from 4 to 6, so that stringified x.y.z versions display properly in the Default shell.
add the writing of intsall-logs automatically from the default shell
update bundled modules

Changes for 0.073_01 Wed Aug 2 15:40:38 CEST 2006

'install Bundle::CPANPLUS::Dependencies' should now work properly from cpanp-boxed, even without a --force option
Up requirements to more recent versions of among others Archive::Extract, CPANPLUS::Dist::Build, File::Fetch & Module::Load::Conditional.
Update bundled modules for cpanp-boxed
Don't change versions of bundled modules, this breaks 'use Foo 1.0' statements in our dependencies Uptodate check is now done with a new feature in Module::Load::Conditional that can check %INC.
Rework cpanp-boxed to deal better with bundled modules and their uptodateness
Move module::pluggable code to runtime rather than compiletime this makes 'require CPANPLUS' not run around the FS looking for config files until they are needed
Address #20737 (Failed to Setup CLI Programs with Arguments) where the interactive configuration wouldn't let you specify options to CLI programs
Address #20640: Always Sent 'pass' Report With 'force' => 1. Test reports are now marked as 'fail' when they fail, even when 'force' is true.
- sent mail to module-build@perl.org with the patch for C::D::Build to have the same behaviour

Changes for 0.072 Fri Jun 23 18:17:00 CEST 2006

This is a major release of CPANPLUS. It includes all the changes from release 0.070_01, including the following changes made after the beta was

released
The POD text of CPANPLUS.pm has been revamped to
be more of a guide than a technical reference.
$module->status is now lazily initialized, lowering overall RAM usage and startup time at the cost of a runtime penalty. Overall, this improves performance significantly.
Address #20005: CPANPLUS does not check size of downloaded module this adds code that checks if the downloaded size is equal to the size specified by the checksums file
Fix file fetching testing issue on Win32 (#18702)

Changes for 0.070_01 Mon Jun 19 17:23:38 CEST 2006

This is a major beta release of CPANPLUS, revamping the configuration mechanism. From now on, CPANPLUS no longer requires a setup to be run at installation time and should work 'out of the box' on most systems using a pre-built configuration file.
CPANPLUS now supports stacked configuration files:
- CPANPLUS::Config is the heuristic config file which will always be installed sytemwide.
- CPANPLUS::Config::System is the systemwide config file which can be installed by an admin in your perl installation path. This file will be available for everyone and override settings from CPANPLUS::Config
- CPANPLUS::Config::User is the per-user config which can be installed by any user in their $HOME/.cpanplus directory. This file will be available for the user only and override settings from CPANPLUS::Config and CPANPLUS::Config::System
- $HOME/.cpanplus/lib gets added automatically to your config search path.
- All configuration types can be created and saved via the interactive Setup. You can invoke it from the default shell as follows:
  CPAN Terminal> s conf user # per user config CPAN Terminal> s conf system # system wide config
  
  or during installation time like this:
  
  $ perl Makefile.PL --setup
Makefile.PL has been stripped from all it's magic
Setup is now menu based for a better user experience.
make loading plugin configs work, with priority for system & user configs before the rest
address #19438: Key 'file' is of invalid type Turns out it's a bug in Module::Build, reported as #19741, which creates a 'Build' file when running 'perl Makefile.PL' on a M::B generated Makefile.PL Add a patch that detects this situation and informs the user
Demand Test::Harness 2.62 to be installed due to bug #19505 in earlier versions
IPC::Run is now required for Win32 & Cygwin
use $Config{path_ext} instead of hardcoded ':' to seperate $PATH in cpanp-boxed
Small test changes in 20.t to make sure no test output counter mismatches occur.
remove all 'clever' code from CPANPLUS::inc, as the new config methodology makes it obsolete. Basic functionality is retained only for backwards compat.
remove CPANPLUS config version checks back and forth -- should work without from now on
make cpanp-boxed work from others dirs than just bin/..
make use of package::constants
Make sure Bundle-Foo.tgz also gets recognized as bundle
Data::Dumper indenting style set to '1' in default shell
make constants for libdir etc accept a list, not just a single param
address #19738: bogus entry in @INC
address: #18270: cpan2dist --archive breaks with relative path
address #18121: invalid value for 'checksum_value' which showed that old .stored files can mess up CPANPLUS untill they are rebuilt. From now on, Makefile.PL will delete old .stored files when installing a new version
mark all the versions of inc/ modules as -1, so we are always 'not uptodate' when asked to install them
remove old api that lets you set values in configure object via backend->new or configure->new, which was impractical and unused.
updated our bugreporting address to point at the rt.cpan.org queue.
Clean up source tree from obsolete files
Have 'make clean' clean up all the generated files

Changes for 0.061 Wed Mar 15 16:09:03 CET 2006

The template for the original configuration got shipped with a few default values that will not work on every system. Anyone who manually configures should not be affected, but the automated configuration may draw the wrong conclusion. For safetey sake, and to minimize possible issues for users, this release ships a template with sensible cross-platform defaults again

Changes for 0.060 Fri Mar 10 17:19:06 CET 2006

This is a major release of CPANPLUS, supporting 3rd party package creation and shell plugins
include bin/cpanp-boxed for a bootstrapped version of cpanp; this allows you to use cpanp without configuring/installing anything.
Include clear installation instructions in the README, beyond the simple 'perl Makefile.PL; make; make install'
save sources to disk after creating the trees, not at end of script this should speed up closing the application, at a one time overhead when parsing the sourcefiles
add more diagnostics on updating source files
Make CPANPLUS::inc redundant -- bundled modules required for boot strapping no longer get installed.
Update bundled modules for bootstrapping to most recent versions
Various tweaks to Makefile.PL to make installing friendlier
perl Makefile.PL AUTOINSTALL=1 now no longer requires any user input (just like $ENV{PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT} already did).
Filter out .meta files from the CHECKSUMS file
apply patch from yperl@club-internet.fr to stop Makefile.PL from dying if user doesn't want to configure now, and doesn't have an existing config.pm
fix typo introduced in 0.052 that broke Classic.pm
fix cpan2dist's ungraceful dying if the dist object was undefined (fixes part of [#17568] bad diagnostics from checksum errors/cpan2dist)
address #17655: [WISHLIST] Report bad signature send out a fail test report when a signature check fails
address #17984: (Two Problems in Makefile.PL)

Changes for 0.059_01 Sat Oct 15 14:20:16 CEST 2005

This is a development release supporting 3rd party package creation and shell plugins
Add new callback to filter prereqs
Add plugin support to the default shell
Add a howto on writing plugins: CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::HOWTO
Set Data::Dumper::Indent to 1 in the default shell
Document --update_source switch in the default shell
Add 's mirrors' to the default shell documentation
Improve Internals.pm documentation
Add basic documentation to undocumented functions in Utils.pm
Implement proper 'ignore' option for cpan2dist and rename old 'ignore' to 'ban'
Allow the --*list options to cpan2dist to be given more than once.
Fix typo in cpan2dist that wasn't setting the makefile preference correctly
Add an option to redirect output to cpan2dist
Add alarm functionality to cpan2dist
The 'sudo' setting is now being defaulted to its previous setting during setup
Attempt to show what previous config was found during setup if possible.
Disable checksums fetch when downloading readme
Store found prereqs in the dist object when we can
Use constants for strings where possible.
Determine installer type in CPANPLUS::Module::dist() if we haven't already
Support both cp_error/error and cp_msg/msg as diagnostic functions
When extracting files, make sure +x is set on directories
When extracting files, store their names
Renamed vcmp() to vcmp() to mark it's privateness.
Add a seperate method in Dist.pm to check if a prereq has been satisfied, so modules subclassing Dist.pm may override it (thanks to Ken Williams).
Add an 'addto_includepath' method to Module.pm, so modules can add their build paths to @INC.
Module::Build's 'perl version too low' diagnostic changed between releases. Make sure our test reporter understands both (fixes [#15197], thanks to Barbie)
t/01_CPANPLUS-Configure.t doesn't load CPANPLUS::Config directly anymore, as there may be an %ENV setting
Fix t/05_CPANPLUS-Internals-Fetch.t to compensate when being on non-unixy platforms [#1455] pointing to the config file instead
Update bundled modules to their latest version

Changes for 0.0561 Sat Aug 20 19:57:15 CEST 2005

This release holds no functional changes over 0.056
The META.yml did not get included in this distribution, meaning the PAUSE indexer indexed our include modules as well.

Changes for 0.056 Sat Aug 20 13:31:17 CEST 2005

This release is identical to 0.056_01 but no longer marked as 'development release'.

Changes for 0.056_01 Thu Aug 18 16:26:52 CEST 2005

This is a development release testing the splitting off of CPANPLUS::Dist::Buid into it's own package.
CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb got branched into it's own package
Make 'i URI' work from the default shell, enabling commands like 'i http://example.com/module.tgz'. parse_module() understands this as well (for API users) -- #11479
Add test cases for lack of CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb
Add new test tarballs that provide the simples possible distributions
Add prereq to CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb if the user prefers to use Build.PL over Makefile.PL
Add a depencendency on Win32::Process on Win32 (bundled with AS perl, needed by IPC::Run)
Quell warnings about empty prerequisite lists (#13111)
Quell warnings about beta-versions being non-numeric (#14106)
Platform dependant modules were /always/ getting an NA grade regardless whether they failed or not (#13224)
Config keys are now sorted when printed in the default shell (as requested by Tux)
Extracted files now only get +w for the owner, not '755', as this interferes with some modules test suite ([#13358])
Some modules uses module_name_version.ext rather than the usual module-name-version.ext. CPANPLUS now parses both correctly (#13367)
's mirrors' in the default shell now lists your mirrors. To alter them you must still edit the config using 's edit'
Buffers are now autoflushed while invoking 'perl Makefile.PL'; Modules that asked questions during interactive install sometimes had their output held back in the buffer. Since not all modules do $|++ in their Makefile.PL, we do it for them (#12121)
The diagnostic reporting functions 'msg' and 'error' from CPANPLUS::Error got renamed to 'cp_msg' and 'cp_error' respectively, to avoid conflicts with Log::Message::Simple. (This only affects API developers).
All bundled modules are updated to their most recent version.

Changes for 0.055 Sat Jun 4 15:53:37 CEST 2005

This release just affects users of the Test::Reporter and 'cpantest' utilities.
The 'munge_test_report' callback was getting the grade passed as of 0.054, but the default callback was now returning the wrong item. [#13086]

Changes for 0.054 Fri Jun 3 17:44:40 CEST 2005

This release paves the way for the CPANPLUS::Dist::* plugins, providing a framework from which to automatically create distributions from CPAN packages
Redo the 'cpan2dist' commandline tool, adding many new options
Record all messages from the 'make' command on the stack regardless.
Use the word 'test' when testing modules, not 'create'
Note in test reports that we skipped tests [#11587]
Fix some small documentation error [#11570]
Double check if a module is uptodate before asking the user -- another prereq may have installed it already [#11840]
Do a 'grep unique' on missing prerequisites, so we dont list them more than once, even if the test output does -- fixes bug [#11637]
Make sure we use an empty 'dist_type' in the tests in case the user set on in his config
Add a copy function to Utils.pm
Make sure the 'force' flag is propagated properly to the 'resolveprereqs' function
Add build_prereq flag to indicate prereqs should be built even when uptodate when run under a packagemanager
When running CPANPLUS from a path not (absolutely) in your @INC, we add our own path to 'original_inc' which we restore on shell outs
Pass the grade to the 'munge_report' handler
Many test report improvements as provided by Barbie in ticket #12302
Not all prereqs live on CPAN -- skip noting them as a loaded prereq if we can't find it in the module tree (as reported in #12723)
Bundled a version of T::H that does supports the 'no_plan' feature of Test::More (#13019): We can't automatically do 'the right thing' as 'make test' invokes 'test_harness' which loads T::H before we can even interfere so we add a msg about too low version to the Makefile.PL instead and fall back to basic tests
Tell users why their sudo password might be asked during 'make test'

Changes for 0.053 Fri Feb 11 10:07:08 CET 2005

0.052 did not ship with its META.yml, causing a few of the bundles modules to be indexed. This release is only relevant to the PAUSE indexer, and changes nothing on the client side whatsoever.

Changes for 0.052 Wed Feb 9 18:44:13 CET 2005

Make auto-installation work (with some guess work) if $ENV{PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT} is set.
Setup decent defaults for the callbacks, so scripts don't have to set them unless they want actual callback behaviour (This helps ExtUtils::AutoInstall greatly).
chmod() extracted files to 755 so we do not get permission denied errors when trying to remove them or copy over them if they were not +w for the user.
Don't use sudo, even if it's configured, if the user is root already.
Default to 'prefer binary programs' if Compress::Zlib is not installed.
Make 'parse_module' deal better with paths that have sub directories in them.
Make 'parse_module' deal better with version numbers that have letters in them.
Don't shell out to get the perl version if the perl we looking for is $^X;
Improve finding a proper homedir for cpanplus on VMS
Accept the perl version as an optional argument to 'module_is_supplied_with_perl_core'
Require Test::Reporter 1.27 for test reporting; it fixes many bugs.
Only load Module::Build when we really needed it, not on any installation.
Fix a bug that made 's reconfigure' not use the defaults from your current config.
RedHat 9.0's stock perl has a few serious bugs in it (they applied custom patches) and will break CPANPLUS badly. Add a note to the makefile.pl that redhat users should upgrade their perl.
CPANPLUS::inc was encountering 'use' calls that had windows paths rather than unix paths (???). Patch to compensate for this.
Module::Load::Conditional cache is being flushed in standard flush runs now, allowing use of LWP (and similar) when it becomes available, even if it previously wasn't.
Don't copy 'Config.pm-orig' to 'Config.pm' during Makefile.PL stage -- if the user has a custom config and forgets to set the environment var, CPANPLUS' tests will use the wrong config.
Some tarballs have '.' as directory, rather than project sub directory. Guess first for extraction dir and verify, only then try the actual extract path.
Improve documentation in the Default shell
Improve test reporting texts as supplied by Barbie
Add a callback to munge test reports before they are sent
Add versions of loaded dependencies to the test reports.
Make limited tests on skipped configuration work properly.
Don't use sudo to install into our own sandbox for Module::Build tests
Skip module::build tests if we're under PERL_CORE and M::B is not available (not yet integrated)
Skip install tests if run under PERL_CORE
Adjust include paths and paths to perl when tests are run under PERL_CORE
Update bundled IPC::Run to version 0.80
Update bundled Module::Build to version 0.26081
Improve tests

Changes for 0.051 Fri Jan 14 15:10:02 CET 2005

First official release in the ground-up rewrite '0.05x' series
When determining installed versions, don't parse commented out versions
Version numbers of 'undef' aren't really versions, they are now treated as '0.0'
Split out 'create' into 'prepare' and 'create' so that package manager plugins can provide an option to alter metadata before actually building the package
Add convenience methods for 'prepare' and 'create'
Update CPANPLUS::Dist::Sample docs to reflect new prepare functionality
Use constants where possible
Add new methods 'contains' to get a list of modules contained in a package
Update to bundle Module::Build 0.2607
Return to prefering Build.PL over Makefile.PL
Update various other bundled modules
Bundle Module::Pluggable for Dist:: plugin support
Missing test suites of module was not detected properly, resultings in undeserved 'pass' grade
dslip data with ';' in it caused parse errors
Mark a fatal error when loading the shell and not being able to load a valid config file
Various spelling fixes
Improve tests

Changes for 0.050_04 Sun Dec 26 16:54:46 CET 2004

Add rsync support to CPANPLUS
List rsync mirrors during setup
Default to the email mentioned in Config.pm during setup
Add timeout support for fetching files from mirrors
Config version has gone up because of new timeout version -- reconfiguration required
Mention Bundle::CPANPLUS::Dependencies in the Makefile.PL
Add license information to dslip output
Send N/A Grade to cpantesters when your perl version is too low according to the Makefile.PL
Drop dependancy on Mail::Send for test reporting, use a fixed version of Test::Reporter instead
Alias $modobj->name to $modobj->module for more DWIMery
cpan2dist now allows creation of distributions from local tarballs as well
cpan2dist now uses the newly defined dist standard to find out where distributions were created
cpan2dist (and CPANPLUS::Dist) plugin detection is now regex based
Specifying CPANPLUS object id's when creating fake module or author objects is now optional
Small backward-compat hack to make sure old versions of ExtUtils::AutoInstall keep working with the new CPANPLUS
Various documentation patches
Update various bundled modules

Changes for 0.050_03 Fri Dec 17 13:54:48 CET 2004

Move to Module::Pluggable to find CPANPLUS::Dist:: plugins.
Make CPANPLUS::Dist:: generate a few required accessors itself, rather than making all submodules do it themselves
Rename cpan2dist.pl to cpan2dist to be more 'unixish'
Improve cpan2dist diagnostics
Add pod to cpan2dist
Change config layout for distribution types (incompatible change -- will require reconfiguration)
Add 2-way version checking so cpanplus + its config can both verify if their counterparts are compatible
Move logic for 'best_path_to_module_build' to Module.pm
Make logic to detect installed modules follow symlinks (required for among others, debian)
'force install' will try even harder to install a module if it can, even if it previously failed.
Make test reports report the version of CPANPLUS, not the version of the constants file the headers are in.
Update various bundled modules to their newest versions
Stringify '$@' to avoid clobbering by sub routine calls
Various documentation improvements
Various spelling fixes
Clean up trailing whitespace from sources
Add more files to MANIFEST.skip
Update MANIFEST

Changes for 0.050_02 Fri Dec 10 15:03:39 CET 2004

Move CPANPLUS::Dist::(Deb|Ports) to it's own repository
Fix error when Test::Reporter is unavaliable
Various spelling fixes
Added CPANPLUS::Hacking pod with instructions how to hack on CPANPLUS
Added an environment variable 'PERL5_CPANPLUS_IS_RUNNING' which will be set to the current process id, so subprocesses can recognize that they are running under CPANPLUS
Some wordings have changed for the setup, to make things a bit clearer
Add 'do we have test::reporter support' probing code (used in test suite)
Add Mail::Send as a prerequisite for test::reporter support
Don't attempt to actually send test reports from our test suite -- Test::Reporter doesn't do that itself either, we might have failed tests due to Test::Reporter rather than ourselves
Mention 'bundle::cpanplus::test::reporter' which has all the modules needed to have test::reporter support enabled
Improved accuracy for core module detection logic and errors
More support for connecting to remote machines using CPANPLUS::Daemon (not yet released, but will be soon)
Add extra clean up arguments to our own Makefile to remove temp files
Extensive overhaul of CPANPLUS::Dist::Build to get Module::Build support working properly (lots of workarounds for bugs in the M::B API -- we now bundle a custom patched M::B (0.26061) to cope)
Module::Build now accepts buildflags
Seperate inc path for installers (defacto only Module::Build right now)
Update various bundled modules like Object::Accessor, IPC::Cmd, Archive::Extract.
Smarter loading of bundled modules
Various speed optimizations
't --force' can send a new test::report now
Don't force current installer format onto prereqs, unless it's explicitly requested
Make the default shell be aware when it's running in noninteractive mode, making sure it makes no suggestions with require interactivity
Add a message about where the module was extracted to in verbose mode
