  • All three C compilers that perl supports on Windows environments
    (MSVC, BCC, and GCC) are now supported by Module::Build. We now
    reportedly pass all tests on Windows. [Randy W. Sims]

  • The test t/xs.t, which tests building of XS modules, will be
    skipped if no C compiler is found. [suggested by Randy W. Sims]

  • The "install" action accepts new "destdir" [motivated by Michael
    Schwern and Chip Salzenberg] and "uninst" parameters [by Dave
    Rolsky]. The former prepends an arbitrary directory to all
    installation paths (useful for package management), and the latter
    will tell ExtUtils::Install to remove any differing files that are
    "shadowing" the stuff you're installing from a different location,
    just like MakeMaker's "make install UNINST=1" command will do.

  • Made changes to the generated Makefile in Module::Build::Compat
    that much better support Windows platforms [after suggestions by
    James Freeman]

  • Added experimental support for creating distribution SIGNATURE
    files via Module::Signature. [Dave Rolsky]

  • Added experimental support for installing via the "only.pm" module,
    which allows loading specific versions of modules. Since this
    module is so new, the interface may still be changing. [Brian
    Ingerson]

  • Added support for installing executable scripts, via the 'scripts'
    parameter to new(), and the scripts() accessor method.

  • Fix an infinite loop that occurred when doing 'perl Build.PL
    config="foo=bar"'

  • Fix up the formatting of the error message the user gets when
    prereqs aren't satisfied.
