News file for Stow.
* Changes in version 2.3.0
** New --dotfiles option
Enable special handling for "dotfiles" (files or folders whose name
begins with a period) in the package directory. If this option is
enabled, Stow will add a preprocessing step for each file or folder
whose name begins with "dot-", and replace the "dot-" prefix in the
name by a period ("."). This is useful when Stow is used to manage
collections of dotfiles, to avoid having a package directory full
of hidden files.
For example, suppose we have a package containing two files,
stow/dot-bashrc and stow/dot-emacs.d/init.el. With this option,
Stow will create symlinks from .bashrc to stow/dot-bashrc and from
.emacs.d/init.el to stow/dot-emacs.d/init.el. Any other files,
whose name does not begin with "dot-", will be processed as usual.
Thanks to Joris Vankerschaver for this feature!
** Fixed naming of man page
The title of the generated man page was previously ending up as
something like:
IO::FILE=IO(0XA719C0)(1)
Thanks to @Corin-EU on GitHub highlighting this and proposing a
fix.
** Fix for test suite on Cygwin
Thanks to Lucas Theisen for this fix!
** Convert README and INSTALL to Markdown
** Add Docker files for convenient testing across multiple Perl versions
This is the first release which has been tested across 5 different
versions of Perl prior to release! The versions are:
perl-5.22.2
perl-5.20.3
perl-5.18.4
perl-5.16.3
perl-5.14.4
Thanks to Charles LeDoux for this!
** Add Coveralls integration with GitHub
This means that test coverage analysis will be automatically be run
on any pull requests submitted to GitHub.
** Set up continuous testing via Travis CI
This means that the test suite will be automatically run on any
pull requests submitted to GitHub, as well as "make distcheck"
and "./Build distcheck".
** Miscellaneous fixes to the build and distribution process
** Improve handling of directories with unusual names
Various fixes for corner cases where directories are named "0"
or begin with a space character, or where STOW_DIR is empty.
Thanks to Cuong Manh Le for highlighting some of the issues and
proposing fixes!
* Changes in version 2.2.2
** @VERSION@ substitution was set up for the Stow::Util module.
