Changes for Perl extension Perl-Dist-WiX
1.102 Thu 28 Jan 2010
1. Fix problems with merge module
2. Make updating "smart" - don't delete the site
directory unless doing a major upgrade.
3. Bring Portable back (install all modules into
"perl/site" for it only.)
4. Work on "gcc-4" toolchains (not done yet)
5. Change to building with Module::Build.
1.101_001 Wed 11 Nov 2009
1. Split most of the build into a merge module.
2. Finished the Moosification.
3. Added ability to build off a git checkout.
4. Started work on documentation.
1.100 Wed 11 Nov 2009
1. Used to make Strawberry Perl October 2009.
2. Used to make Padre Standalone 0.50.
3. Small fixes (adding prerequisite that _103 missed,
removing reordering [had to take out portable for now]
and making sure root directory files got installed.)
1.090_103 Sat 26 Sep 2009
1. Used to make Strawberry Perl October 2009 Beta 2.
2. Portability now works.
3. Small bug fixes.
1.090_102 Mon 14 Sep 2009
1. Major refactoring. (Now uses Moose rather
than Object::InsideOut.)
2. 5.10.1 is now supported.
3. Perl::Dist is not a dependency anymore.
4. Perl::Dist::WiX now installs its non-core
modules into "perl\vendor" as opposed to
"perl\site"
1.000 Sat 25 Jul 2009.
1. Used to make "Padre Standalone Plus Six" for the
Padre Birthday party.
2. Major version number jump - this is stable enough
to not be a 0.x version anymore.
2. build_number can now be 0.
3. minicpan script updated to take command-line options
in order to be able to make minicpans for subclasses.
4. minicpan script is more "PBP-compliant" (i.e.
the standard meta-options like --help are there)
5. The cpan/sources directory is moved to the side when
installing from a minicpan.
6. 'six' is now correctly integrated. (Note that 'six'
is not guaranteed to be stable or usable.)
0.192 Fri 17 Jul 2009.
1. Will be used to make Strawberry Perl July 2009.
2. Windows XP is now the minimum supported Windows
version.
3. Installs Win32::Process and IPC::System::Simple
if autodie is installed.
4. Clears PAR temporary directory.
5. Installs requirements for portability individually.
6. First attempt at Perl 6 support.
0.191 Mon 06 Jul 2009
1. Was used to make Padre Standalone beta 1.
2. Tries to get a DefaultLanguage code for files
that require it.
3. Moving the default fragments directory location under
temp_dir rather than output_dir.
4. Stop CPAN.pm from following prerequisites during
install_module.
5. Updated CPANPLUS::Config template.
0.190 Thu 02 Jul 2009
1. Was used to make Strawberry Perl July 2009
Beta 3.
2. Throw an exception if Archive::Zip version 1.28
will be installed instead. (Forcing 1.26 did not work.)
3. A CPANPLUS::Config has been created that does similar
things to the CPAN::Config that is installed.
4. Building completely offline can now be successfully done.
Because of this, CPAN::SQLite is disabled when actually
installing modules during distribution building.
5. Will attempt to tell you which directories need to be
added to the msi_directory_tree_additions parameter to
Perl::Dist::WiX->new when trace is 2 or greater.
6. Added a distropref so that certain modules will not
be installed when building a distribution. (It is not
installed with the created distribution.)
0.185 Tue 23 Jun 2009
1. Force install of Archive::Zip version 1.26 (1.28
has a bug in it.)
2. Builds a list of CPAN distributions that were
installed as DISTRIBUTIONS.txt in the root directory
of the install.
3. A few more files are removed.
4. Checks of CPAN use the CPAN passed in, not the
CPAN of the host perl or cpan.strawberryperl.com.
5. Required version of Perl::Dist increased to 1.14
(except for Perl::Dist::Util::Toolchain, which has
to be gotten from SVN for now.)
0.184 Tue 16 Jun 2009
1. Allow e-mail of builder and build and beta numbers
to be stored in perl configuration.
2. Text::Iconv will build correctly, as the DLL
file is copied as opposed to moved where libxml
needs it.
3. Perl::Dist::WiX::Filelist has been removed
(actually moved to File::List::Object, so
that has been added as a dependency.)
0.183 Thu 28 May 2009
1. Perl::Dist::WiX::Installer used a regex
metacharacter that was only in 5.10.
2. Perl requirement increased to 5.8.1, since
recent releases of modules used require
that version of Perl.
0.182 Thu 28 May 2009
1. Used to make Strawberry Perl July 2009
Beta 2.
2. Automatically generates its README file
using Pod::Readme
3. Fix bugs in install_distribution_from_file.
4. Updated to Module::Install 0.91.
0.180 Tue 28 Apr 2009
1. If the .packlist is missing, attempt to use
the debug.out file from the install stage
to get a file list.
2. install_distribution will now use Build.PL
files (and will prefer them to Makefile.PL
files except for version.pm)
3. A custom action to clean out the installation
directory is now used on uninstall or upgrade.
4. Added wix_dist_dir for stuff that is supposed
to come out of the Perl-Dist-WiX share
directory even if dist_dir is overridden.
0.171 Sat 18 Apr 2009
1. Adding ability to create RemoveFolder tag
independent of shortcuts.
2. app_name must be legal filename (as it is used
to create the main .wxs filename)
3. Fixed handling of .AAA files in both .zip and
.msi installers.
4. Moved cpan.info file to output_dir.
5. Adding generator comment to main .wxs file.
6. Can override main .wxs file template.
7. Updating to Module::Install 0.84.
0.170 Sat 11 Apr 2009
1. Tests updated to create common download
directory.
2. Requirement for Perl-Dist updated to current
svn version. Check it out at:
http://svn.ali.as/cpan/trunk/Perl-Dist
3. Added test to detect dlltool problem
(dlltool will not work within a path
with extensions.)
4. Updating to Module::Install 0.82
0.169 Thu 09 Apr 2009
1. With previous distributions where build_number
was the only parameter that was different,
Product/@Id attribute would be identical.
This was a bug, and is now corrected.
2. Some error messages are made clearer, and
error messages are documented in the pod for
Perl::Dist::WiX.
3. releaserc not included in distribution.
4. Additions to main .wxs template to disallow
downgrading and correctly detect upgrades.
5. install_distribution_from_file routine added
to support Perl::Dist::Bootstrap.
6. Updating to Module::Install 0.81.
0.162 Fri 27 Mar 2009
1. Test and documentation update only. Do not worry
about upgrading.
0.161 Thu 26 Mar 2009
1. Test and documentation update only. Do not worry
about upgrading.
0.160 Sun 22 Mar 2009
1. install_cpan_upgrades goes through and gets a
list of installations to call install_distribution
on instead of installing all of the distributions
at once using CPAN::Shell::uptodate.
2. _run3 removes directories containing unzip.exe
and gzip.exe from the path (causes perl's
'make test' to fail if this is not done).
3. Checks for spaces in build directory when testing
perl 5.10.0 (Testing CPANPLUS::Shell will fail)
and 5.8.8 (Installing modules will fail.)
Adds Win32 to dependencies, but it was being used
in testing anyway.
4. Add TODO list.
5. Add dependency on Alien::WiX.
0.150 Thu 5 Mar 2009
1. Added a digit to the version number because
having a version numbered 0.1401 messed the
ordering up.
0.15 Thu 5 Mar 2009
1. Updated PDWix::Parameter error class.
2. Used PDWiX::Parameter more places.
3. Added code to Perl::Dist::WiX->new to attempt
to prevent suicide.
4. Minimum perl version is now consistently 5.6.0.
This is tested for throughout the whole distribution.
0.1401 Wed 25 Feb 2009
1. Got bit by new indexing rules implemented as of
December 2008, so creating tar file with correct
permissions.
0.14 Wed 25 Feb 2009
1. Got rid of warning at Directory.pm around line 416
(using comparison with result of Scalar::Util::blessed
instead of Params::Util::_INSTANCE because _INSTANCE
returns undef, rather than a numeric.)
0.13_04 Mon 23 Feb 2009
1. Added PDWiX::Parameter error class
2. Added packlist parameter to install_module
and install_distribution
3. Added DirectoryTree->add_root_directory.
0.13_03 Fri 20 Feb 2009
1. Internals use Object::InsideOut (I have to admit
I was getting confused with all the inheritance.)
Perl::Dist::WiX[::Installer] still uses Object::Tiny
for backwards compatibility.
2. Exception::Class also used (Makes it so errors
change along with the trace level.)
Note that errors generated by Perl::Dist::WiX are
in the PDWiX class.
3. Tests reordered and categorized.
0.13_02 Thu 12 Feb 2009
1. Test sequence completed. Passes, as well.
0.13_01 Mon 02 Feb 2009
1. Generates .msi file!
2. Added routines to help make sure all files are installed.
3. Updated to go with Perl::Dist 1.12 and Perl::Dist::Strawberry 1.09
4. Icons handled.
0.11_07 Tue 27 Jan 2009
1. Documentation completed.
2. Trace now has 6 (0-5) levels.
3. Directory creation simplified. (hopefully bug-free)
4. Still no .msi yet.
0.11_06 Wed 21 Jan 2009
1. Moved Feature.pm up one level, created FeatureTree.pm.
2. Spelling, a little documentation, bug fixes, tests.
(more in _07)
3. CPAN icon, get_component_array methods, build number,
beta number, and msi parameters added.
4. Updated Perl::Dist::WiX to match Perl::Dist::Inno 1.11
5. Creating all .wixout files required - but no .msi yet
(files are being counted twice)
0.11_05 Mon 19 Jan 2009
1. Work in progress debugging routines install_win32_extras needs
2. Documentation of some low-level modules added
3. Compile test updated with all modules.
4. Other tests skipped until rewriting done.
5. Some parameter-checking added.
0.11_04 Sat 17 Jan 2009
- Verified generation of fragments up to step 4
(install_perl_modules) now. (84 fragments, 900K)
- Removed P::D::W::Toolchain, replaced it with ad-hoc
_name_to_module method (I want to affect Perl::Dist
itself as little as possible)
- Added more to list of modules that leave .packlist
files to check.
- Removed create_string_fragment method (not being used)
0.11_03 Sat 17 Jan 2009
- perl, the perl licenses, and the individual
modules of the Perl toolchain are now tested
to generate fragments (now 57 fragments, about
800K .wxs source.)
- Perl::Dist::WiX::Filelist module added to handle
file list arithmetic and operations.
0.11_02 Thu 15 Jan 2009
- First actual code:
1: Most routines collect file names
2: "low-level" routines create strings that
"work up the line" and get assembled.
3: Individual portions of the C toolchain are
individual wix fragments.
0.01_01 Sun 12 Oct 2008
- Creating initial version
