Test ExtUtils::ParseXS 3.18_04 before it's too late!
ExtUtils::ParseXS is the module that translates XS to C. There have been development releases (newest: 3.18_04) for some time now. No CPAN testers failures. But for something as low-level as this, tests can only cover so much. I've been wanting to build a full CPAN against it, but the infrastructure for that has been in maintenance for months.
Because the release contains a few important fixes, please test your XS against the new development release soon. Otherwise, I will take a bit of a risk and cut a production release.

An easy way to test, say, Foo::XS and Bar::XS against the new ExtUtils-ParseXS using cpanminus is:
When you're done, you can return to a stable version of ExtUtils-ParseXS using:
Tested with Marpa::R2 and all is OK.
