| Win32::API v0.53 released to CPAN                                  |

I just released version 0.53 of Win32::API. It should be available at
your local CPAN mirror very soon. This version should play nicer with
CPAN testers, since it checks if the OS makes sense before going through
Makefile.PL, so no more failures with Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, and such
are expected.

Please note that I published 0.51 one hour ago, but it's broken, so I
have already scheduled its deletion. Please don't use 0.51. Enjoy and
please report to me any problems you have.

For the real list of changes, look at CPAN's Changes file.

0.52-0.53:

  * Devel::AssertOS was not properly set up in 0.51.

0.51:

  * Cleaned up API.pm pod docs and clearly stated Win32::API license

  * Fixed $$/pid tests for Cygwin

  * Now uses Devel::AssertOS to check that we are on a Win32 or Cygwin
    system. This should ease the work of CPAN testers.

The deadline for Google's [0]summer of code applications from mentor
organizations is fast approaching and I need your help to keep perl from
getting left behind like it did [1]last year. The [2]wiki page has links
where you can post your ideas for students and signup to be a mentor.
Please post your ideas and signup before March 8th -- to increase our
chances of getting accepted, we need to demonstrate a significant pool of
willing mentors and lots of potential projects to inspire students.

If you speak for a large Perl project, consider volunteering yourself as
a manager. I would like to delegate most of the cat-herding, as the Perl
community (and the number of projects) is quite large.

Contact Eric Wilhelm (ewilhelm at cpan dot org) or join us in #soc on
irc.perl.org if you would like to be a project manager or have questions
about mentoring. Stay tuned for more details.
