Release 1.58 of perl-workflow, a maintenance release

Finally we were able to squeeze out another maintenance release of the Perl distribtution Workflow.

We have one outstanding discussion on the forthcoming 2.0 release, should we merge validators and conditionals, I hope we will be able to conclude something, so our first development releases of 2.0 can be shipped. Do see issue #137 for discussion and proposal.

More information on the roadmap to 2.0 can be found here:

• The 2.0 milestone, as in a list of PRs and issues
• And the 2.0 projected road map as a set of notes and issues.

If you are interested in Workflow and possibly contributing, do not hesitate to reach out.

Here follows the change log of release 1.58.

• Requirement for Perl 5.14 has been made more explicit, see also PR #185 by Erik Huelsmann (@ehuelsmann)

• Delay of instantation, prevents additional loggings attempts, this makes logging less noisy when running tests. Via PR #174 from Erik Huelsmann (@ehuelsmann)

Comments

Unfortunately we discovered a minor mishap in release 1.58, where a dependency was referenced without being properly declared as a dependency, which could result in inability for the distribution to work in a clean environment.

This has now been addressed via PR #190 and has been shipped as release 1.59 2022-02-02 and update is required.

We are sorry about any inconvenience this might have caused
