Alien::Base 0.007 has been released to CPAN and should be available at a mirror near you shortly.
New features include:
- Better FFI integration via FFI::CheckLib. The Alien::Base->dynamic_libs method should now work with system installs (previously only source code / share installs were supported).
- Dynamic prerequisites needed for source code / share installs will not be included Alien::Base determines that it is doing a system install. Dynamic prerequisites include anything specified using the alien_bin_requires option, and Alien::MSYS on Windows.
- Documentation has also been cleaned up a little bit.
If you have any questions, concerns, or even better patches, please feel free to contact me and the Alien::Base team via this mailing list and the GitHub issue tracker:
Thanks, and Happy New Year,
Graham
