Hi all,

GNU Stow 2.3.1 is now available for download from 

     http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/stow/

and also from the mirrors[1] as soon as they catch up. 

Stow is a symlink farm manager program which takes distinct sets 
of software and/or data located in separate directories on the 
filesystem, and makes them all appear to be installed in a single 
directory tree. 

While Stow has often been used to manage system-wide software 
installations, it also provides a clean mechanism for managing 
software and configuration files in users' home directories: 

     http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-stow/2011-12/msg00000.html

More information is available at the homepage: 

     http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/

[1] You can see a list of mirrors at http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html
     or use http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/stow/ which will automatically
     redirect to a nearby mirror.

Here is a summary of the changes since the previous release; 
please see the ChangeLog for full details. 

* For improved ease of installation, dependencies on Hash::Merge and
  Clone::Choose introduced in 2.3.0 were removed again.

  Historically stow hasn't had runtime dependencies other than Perl
  itself, which is a useful property if you're managing the
  installation of Perl using stow.  This property has now been
  restored.

  Many thanks to Adam Sampson for this patch!

  <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-stow/2019-06/msg00001.html>

* An issue with the test suite was fixed.

  t/cli.t was not testing with the right Perl executable, as reported
  here:

  <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=129944>

  Thanks to Slaven Rezic for spotting this and reporting it!

* Various maintainer tweaks

  The release process and its documentation were improved in various
  minor ways.

Happy hacking,
Adam
