News file for Stow.
* Changes in version 2.1.2
Many thanks to Stefano Lattarini for help with numerous autoconf and
automake issues which are addressed in this release.
** Significantly improve the handling of --with-pmdir.
*** Calculation of the default value for --with-pmdir is now done safely in Perl.
Previously non-POSIX-compliant shells could cause issues.
*** The output of ./configure and make are now much more helpful.
*** The Makefile will now check whether pmdir is in Perl's built-in @INC.
If not, it will insert a
use lib "...";
line into the generated stow script to ensure that it can always
locate the Perl modules without needing to manually set PERL5LIB.
*** Updated INSTALL and HOWTO-RELEASE accordingly.
** ./configure now aborts if Perl isn't found.
** Ensured the ChangeLog is up-to-date when making a new distribution.
Thanks to Stefano Lattarini for this suggestion.
** Fixed bug with `make clean' removing files which the user may not be able to rebuild.
* Changes in version 2.1.1
** Fixed bug where ./configure --with-pmdir=X was ineffectual.
** Calculated the correct default value for pmdir based on the local Perl installation.
