DocKnot 3.03

DocKnot is the software that I use to generate package documentation and web pages, and increasingly to generate release tarballs.

The main change in this release is to use IO::Uncompress::Gunzip and IO::Compress::Xz to generate a missing xz tarball when needed, instead of forking external programs (which causes all sorts of portability issues). Thanks to Slaven Rezić for the testing and report.

This release adds two new badges to README.md files: a version badge for CPAN packages pushed to GitHub, and a Debian version badge for packages with a corresponding Debian package.

This release also makes the tarball checking done as part of the release process (to ensure all files are properly included in the release) a bit more flexible by adding a distribution/ignore metadata setting containing a list of regular expressions matching files to ignore for checking purposes.

Finally, this release fixes a bug that leaked $@ modifications to the caller of App::DocKnot::Config.

You can get the latest version from the DocKnot distribution page.
