Revision history for CPAN-Meta 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.

That has been fixed. 2.110360 2011-02-04 19:46:21 America/New_York [OTHER] - Remove autodie dependency so CPAN::Meta can be used on older Perls - Remove unused Data::Dumper dependency 2.110350 2011-02-03 19:57:32 America/New_York [ENHANCEMENTS] - Added "as_string" method similar to "as_struct" [OTHER] - Bumped Parse::CPAN::Meta prereq to 1.43 and uses that to determine proper YAML/JSON backends - Removed unused prereqs 2.110330 2011-02-02 09:42:57 EST5EDT [ENHANCEMENTS] - Saved META.json files are now sorted by key - as_struct() method takes an optional "version" argument to return a down-converted metadata hashref 2.110320 2011-01-31 23:14:30 EST5EDT [ENHANCEMENTS] - The 'save' method now allows an optional hashref argument, which can be used to set the desired meta spec version. Metadata is automatically converted to the specified output. 2.110240 2011-01-24 16:28:25 EST5EDT - Reading JSON/YAML is delegated entirely to Parse::CPAN::Meta (1.4200) - JSON.pm is dropped as a prerequisite and JSON::PP is added to prepare for CPAN::Meta to be added to the Perl core - JSON writing uses the same JSON backend selection as Parse::CPAN::Meta to allow "upgrading" to a non-core JSON backend module if desired 2.102400 2010-08-28 14:06:34 America/New_York - 'as_struct' method now returns unblessed data (reported by Chris Prather) 2.102160 2010-08-04 12:27:10 EST5EDT - Fix bugtracker conversion bug (RT#60017) 2.101670 2010-06-15 21:02:42 EST5EDT - converting 1.x 'repository' field now puts converted url into the 'url' sub-field of 'repository' instead of the 'web' sub-field 2.101610 2010-06-10 18:51:30 EST5EDT - fixed converter bug that output 'artistic2' instead of 'artistic_2' for license in 1.X specs - 'artistic2' is now converted to 'artistic_2' if it occurs - corrected validation for 'artistic_2' and disallowed 'artistic-2.0' 2.101600 2010-06-09 10:07:31 EST5EDT - improve conversion of restricted/restrictive license keys between spec versions 1.4 and 2 [reported by Alexander Hartmaier] 2.101591 2010-06-08 09:56:17 EST5EDT - added 'as_struct' method to CPAN::Meta to get a deep copy of the metadata hash_ref - won't add an optional_features 'description' field if missing - improved documentation of CPAN::Meta::Converter and how it deals with bad/missing data 2.101590 2010-06-07 21:49:36 EST5EDT - won't automatically add 'unknown' as repository type when converting; instead, will only add a repository type if a repository 'url' is present and it is of the 'svn:' or 'git:' scheme. - squelched some uninitialized value warnings [Graham Barr] 2.101580 2010-06-07 16:44:13 EST5EDT - add "lazy_validation" option to constructors - add ability to "convert" to same version and clean-up any fixable errors - fix validation bugs (adhere closer to the spec) - improve lots of heuristics during conversion 2.101461 2010-05-26 16:57:02 America/New_York - accessors deep clone list and map keys before returning them - add custom_keys() and custom() methods 2.101460 2010-05-25 23:12:27 America/New_York - loosen URL validation -- only a scheme and authority are required without restrictions on either 2.101450 2010-05-25 17:59:32 America/New_York - when downconverting from 2, leave custom keys unchanged (except in resources, where x_ is changed to X_) - when converting to 2, don't prepend x_ to custom keys that already matched qr{\Ax_}i 2.101410 2010-05-21 10:39:18 EST5EDT - when downconverting from 2, merge test requirements into build requirements 2.101390 2010-05-19 10:49:50 EST5EDT - do not clobber generated_by when converting 2.101380 2010-05-17 23:39:23 EST5EDT - added support for down-converting to older versions of the spec - improved test coverage for conversion and validation 2.101110 2010-04-21 11:06:52 EST5EDT - clarified that .XXXXXX versions of the CPAN-Meta distribution will not change the meaning of the CPAN::Meta::Spec, but may fix typos or clarify prose - fixed a typo regarding dotted-integer versions: keeping components in the range 0-999 was corrected to a "should" instead of a "must" - fixed validation bugs for certain types of nested data structures (based on a patch provided by Barbie) 2.101091 2010-04-19 06:32:13 EST5EDT - keep the old specs from getting indexed so as not to confuse people
