By: smueller on 2009/01/03
Apply correct patch for blib_to_par across file system boundaries from Radek. (Radek's patch was correct, just not my application.)
This is 0.42.
By: smueller on 2008/12/17

This is 0.37.

merge_par now requires a (i.e. any) YAML reader
merge_par now merges the "provides" sections of the META.yml's

Make file://foo.par URLs installable.
This is 0.29.
By: smueller on 2008/02/05
Setting installation targets to undef with installpar should remove them altogether now. This way, you can make sure, some parts aren't installed. (Such as manpages on win32)
This is 0.28.
Now hopefully back to bi-annual releases ;)
By: smueller on 2008/02/04
No more signature. I keep breaking things with it.
This is 0.27.

By: smueller on 2008/02/03

If the return code from LWP::Simple is 304/not modified, then that's a success. So we shouldn't throw an error.
This is 0.26.

By: smueller on 2007/06/29

Use Archive::Unzip::Burst for unzipping if available.
Some refactoring and code cleanup.
This is 0.25.
By: smueller on 2007/07/20
Remove shebang from Makefile.PL. No assumptions about the user's perl.
Port Makefile.PL to use ExtUtils::MakeMaker so I no longer need to release for Module::Install upgrades. PAR::Dist wasn't using any of the advanced features anyway!
This is 0.24.
By: smueller on 2007/06/20
Add contains_binaries.
This is 0.23
By: smueller on 2007/04/30
Patch from Jos Boumans: Remove use of "static" variable.
By: smueller on 2006/10/28
parse_dist_name now supports versions starting with a 'v'.
By: smueller on 2006/10/12
installor_uninstall tries to remove the temporary directory while cwd() is in that directory. That fails on win32 leaving temporary directories on disk. This is now fixed.
This is 0.21
By: smueller on 2006/10/11
Added a more flexible way of using PAR::Dist::install_par's custom target logic.
This is 0.20
By: smueller on 2006/10/02
Repaired PAR::Dist::install_par's custom target logic.
By: smueller on 2006/09/03 Log:
It's not possible to specify your own installation paths.
Installation paths now documented.
This is 0.19.
By: smueller on 2006/08/28 Log:
Added optional POD tests.
By: smueller on 2006/08/25 Log:
Added the generate_blib_stub method.
Added parse_dist_name to @EXPORT_OK
Upgraded Module::Install to 0.64
This is PAR::Dist 0.18.
By: smueller on 2006/08/23 Log:
Fixed merge_par for relative paths.
This is PAR::Dist 0.17.
By: smueller on 2006/08/09 Log:
Fixed tests for parse_dist_name.
Release 0.15_02
By: smueller on 2006/08/02 Log:
Added the parse_dist_name routine which was previously shipped with both PAR::Repository and PAR::Repository::Client.
Changed the distribution name detection heuristics to favour the distribution name determined from META.yml and then those from parse_dist_name.
Version bump to 0.15_01.
By: smueller on 2006/07/28 Log:
PAR::Dist would previously generate bad file names and META.yml if the newlines contained Windows' \r. That's history.
This is 0.15.
By: smueller on 2006/07/25 Log:
Changed the calling conventions of remove_man to better resemble those of the other functions. (This is backwards compatible.)
Added get_meta() function.
Slight documentation fixes.
Version bump to 0.15.
By: audreyt on 2006/07/19 Log:
The "version" field of META.yml files written by Module::Build was not parsed correctly by the ad-hoc YAML parser. Reported by: Jesse Vincent
Remove the 0-signature.t.
This be 0.14
By: smueller on 2006/07/22 Log:
Added rudimentary support for installing to a prefix-ed location.
Documented the new parameter "prefix" to install_par();
By: smueller on 2006/07/22 Log:
Module::Install didn't regenerate META.yml because author bit wasn't set.
This is 0.13. (Sorry again, need to do this to make CPAN.pm happy.)
By: smueller on 2006/07/21 Log:
Found a couple of path-related bugs in the new functions of 0.11.
This be 0.12. Sorry!
By: smueller on 2006/07/21 Log:
Fixed potential bugs where slashes were used as path separators. Now using File::Spec everywhere (I think).
Added merge_par() which merges two or more .par archives.
Added remove_man() which removes all man pages and html docs from a .par archive.
Fixed a bit of indentation. (I know. Don't do it.)
This be 0.11
By: smueller on 2006/07/05 Log:
.par distributions fetched from URLs will now be installed as distributions named "Module-Name" instead of "http://foo.bar/path/Module-Name-0.01-architecture-version.par".
Updated Module::Install to 0.63
This be 0.10
By: smueller on 2006/05/20 Log:
Updated Module::Install to 0.62
This be 0.09
