'module_version' and 'module_version_from' have been replaced by
'dist_version' and 'dist_version_from', which is what they really
meant in the first place. 'dist_name' has been added.'module_name' is now just a way to set 'dist_name' and
'dist_version_from' in a convenient way.The 'name' in META.yaml is now the distribution name, not the
(incorrect) module name. [spotted by Graham Barr]Added the check_installed_status() and prereq_failures() methods
for checking prerequisite information with the programmatic
interfacecheck_installed_version() now uses check_installed_status()
internallyDocumented the create_build_script() method, which had escaped
documentation.create_build_script() now writes prerequisite information to the
_build/ directory, for use by Module::Build::Compat.Module::Build::Compat has documentation for a safer way to write a
dummy Makefile.PL. [patch by Autrijus Tang]
