Changes for version 1.016 - 2016-10-07

  • BREAKING CHANGE: fetchware now manually changes its umask to 0022. This is to prevent too lenient umasks from causing fetchware's test suite to fail due to security checks failing.
    • These security checks are important, because without them other users in your group could modify your Fetchwarefiles or fetchware packages, and change the Fetchwarefile in malicious ways.
    • This should fix some CPAN Tester FAILs.
  • Fixed t/bin-fetchware-clean.t's use of cwd() instead of a tempdir(). This should fix some CPAN Tester FAILs.
