Alien::Base 0.022 (and 0.021) released to CPAN

[Graham Ollis]

Alien::Base 0.022 has been released to CPAN and should be available at a mirror near you shortly.

New features include:

• %{pkg_config} is provided as a default helper to mean the pkg-config which is used by Alien::Base (usually either pkg-config or PkgConfig.pm, in that order).
  
• An entry in the FAQ has been added on how to specify minimum or exact versions for pkg-config based libraries.
  

Bug fixes include:

• A bug introduced in 0.016_01 was fixed where using --destdir or $ENV{DESTDIR} would break the install step (./Build install command).  This is important for distribution packagers who are not using the system library for their Alien modules.
  
• A bug introduced in 0.020 was fixed in 0.021 where existing Alien modules that use the system library would break on upgrading to version 0.020.  You do not need to reinstall your Alien modules, but if you are using Alien::Base 0.020 upgrade to Alien::Base 0.022 or 0.021.
  

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 hope everyone had a good Ice Cream Day yesterday.
