Module-Build 0.2805

on Perl CPAN

We now embed a copy of version.pm right in the
Module::Build::Version source code, with John Peacock's blessing,
in case the user has a rough time installing version.pm. This
helps alleviate troubles people were still having with working out
a seemingly circular dependency (even though version.pm now ships
with a standard Makefile.PL too). A version.pm >= 0.661 installed
on the system will take precedence over our bundled one. [John
Peacock]

Fix some test warnings (or failures?) related to version.pm
numification. [John Peacock]

The top-level 'version' entry in META.yml files we'd generated was
in the wrong format (it was being treated as a version.pm object
rather than a serialized copy) due to a weird YAML::Node issue.
Fixed.

Don't 'use base qw(version)' anymore in our M::B::Version wrapper,
just set @ISA directly, because some people have reported that the
'use base' line is croaking.

Added an 'allow_mb_mismatch' parameter to suppress the startup
check that ensures the version of M::B currently running is the
same as the one initially used to run the Build.PL. Use with
caution.

Module::Build::ModuleInfo will no longer detect things that look
like $VERSION assignments after an END or DATA token.

Updated documentation to mention the new mailing list on perl.org
rather than the old one on sourceforge.
