Module-Build 0.28

on Perl CPAN

When y_n() or prompt() are called without a default value and the
build seems to be unattended (e.g. in automatic CPAN testing), we
now die() with an error message rather than silently returning
undef for prompt(), or looping indefinitely for y_n().

When searching for '.modulebuildrc', return the first HOME-like
directory that actually contains the file instead of the first
existing directory. Document the search locations and the order
searched. [Spotted by David Golden]

Split the API documentation out of Module::Build::Authoring into
its own document: Module::Build::API.

We should not emit a warning if a Module::Build subclass is
required in a Makefile.PL that is not bundled in the current
distribution; it may be installed on the user's system. [Spotted by
Tyler MacDonald]

copy_if_modified() now preserves the executable bit of the source
file. [Spotted by Julian Mehnle]

Fixed compatibility of our screen-scraping the Test::Harness output
so we can recognize the most recent Test::Harness version. [Steve
Hay]

Backing out a requirement added in 0.27_06 on the method y_n()
to always include a default. This behavior would cause existing
build scripts to start failing. We now fail with a missing default
only when $ENV{PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT} is set because there is no
reasonable default.

Make install_types() method smarter with respect to custom install
types.

Add documentation for the install_base_relpaths() and
prefix_relpaths() methods. Improved their usage for a public API,
and added tests.
