Dist::Zilla::Plugin::NUsereContributed PerlDist::Zilla::Plugin::NextRelease(3)NAMEDist::Zilla::Plugin::NextRelease - update the next release number in
your changelog
VERSION
version 4.300014
SYNOPSIS
In your dist.ini:
[NextRelease]
In your Changes file:
{{$NEXT}}
DESCRIPTION
Tired of having to update your Changes file by hand with the new
version and release date / time each time you release your
distribution? Well, this plugin is for you.
Add this plugin to your dist.ini, and the following to your Changes
file:
{{$NEXT}}
The "NextRelease" plugin will then do 2 things:
· At build time, this special marker will be replaced with the
version and the build date, to form a standard changelog header.
This will be done to the in-memory file - the original Changes file
won't be updated.
· After release (when running "dzil release"), since the version and
build date are now part of your dist's history, the real Changes
file (not the in-memory one) will be updated with this piece of
information.
The module accepts the following options in its dist.ini section:
filename
the name of your changelog file; defaults to Changes
update_filename
the file to which to write an updated changelog to; defaults to the
"filename"
format
sprintf-like string used to compute the next value of "{{$NEXT}}";
defaults to "%-9v %{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss VVVV}d"
time_zone
the timezone to use when generating the date; defaults to local
The module allows the following sprintf-like format codes in the
format:
· v - the version of the dist
· d - the CLDR format for DateTime
· n - a newline
· t - a tab
