Alien::Base 0.011, 0.012 and 0.014 released to CPAN

[Graham Ollis]

Alien::Base 0.014 has been released to CPAN and should be available at a mirror near you shortly.

New features include:

• PkgConfig.pm (The pure perl replacement for pkg-config) is now preferred and required on Solaris 64bit as it is considered more reliable for finding 64 bit libraries on that platform
  
• Alien-Base installs are now relocatable
  
• For example you can expect this to work more reliably:
• cpanm -l ~/mylib1 Alien::Foo
• mv ~/mylib1 ~/mylib2
• cpanm -l ~/mylib2 Foo::XS

Bug fixes in 0.012 include:

• Fixed bug introduced in 0.011 where the Alien::Base bin_dir method dies when install_type = system
  
• 0.011 was only on CPAN for a couple of hours before being replaced by 0.012 so hopefully you didn't even notice :)

New features in 0.011 include:

• When doing a "share" (build from source) install it is now always a fatal exception if the share directory cannot be found.
  
• Previously this might not throw and exception if a blib install had been attempted
• Note that means calling dist_dir on a install_type = system install is now always an exception, so be sure to check the install type if you are calling the dist_dir method.

If you have any questions, concerns, or even better patches, please feel free to contact the Alien::Base team via this mailing list and the GitHub issue tracker:

Thank you and Happy Birthday Zeppo Marx.
