Revision history for Dist-Zilla

6.035     2025-11-09 11:26:39-05:00 America/Toronto
        - re-rename subroutine in Dist::Zilla::Util::AuthorDeps; these were not
          meant to be relied upon, but Hyrum's Law applies

6.034     2025-11-07 09:20:18-05:00 America/Toronto
        - add "dzil authordeps --cpanm-versions"
        - the --cpanm-versions output no longer includes double quotes;
          that is: it emits Foo~2 rather than Foo~"2"
        - drop Archive::Tar::Wrapper, which failed when the path contained
          non-ASCII; the speed improvement was quite small

6.033     2025-05-01 11:45:18-04:00 America/New_York
        - when creating a tarball with GNU tar, use --format=ustar to avoid
          xattrs and other problems sometimes related to macOS (thanks, Graham
          Knop!)

6.032     2024-05-25 12:30:02-04:00 America/New_York
        - UploadToCPAN errors will distinguish between "couldn't find password"
          and "something went wrong trying to get password"
        - UploadToCPAN can now use any Login-type stash for credentials, not
          just a PAUSE-class stash

6.031     2023-11-20 19:49:23-05:00 America/New_York
        - avoid some warnings on platforms without symlinks; (thanks, reneeb!)

6.030     2023-01-18 21:36:40-05:00 America/New_York
        - "dzil new" will use command line options before configuration
        - "dzil add" now falls back to %Mint stash options before defaults
          (for both of the above: thanks, Graham Knop!)

6.029     2022-11-25 17:02:33-05:00 America/New_York
        - update some links to use https instead of http (thanks, Elvin
          Aslanov)
        - turn on strict and warnings in generated author tests (thanks, Mark
          Flickinger)
        - use "v1.2.3" for multi-dot versions in "package NAME VERSION" formats
          (thanks, Branislav Zahradník)
        - fixes to operation on msys (thanks, Paulo Custodio)
        - add "main_module" option to MakeMaker (thanks, Tatsuhiko Miyagawa)
        - fix authordeps behavior; don't add an object to @INC (thanks, Shoichi
          Kaji)

6.028     2022-11-09 10:54:14-05:00 America/New_York
        - remove bogus work-in-progress signatures-using commit from 6.027;
          that was a bad release! thanks for the heads-up about it to Gianni
          "dakkar" Ceccarelli!

6.027     2022-11-06 17:52:20-05:00 America/New_York
        - if DZIL_COLOR is set to 0, override auto-detection

        - remove dependency on Class::Load, which is not used
        - bump prereq on PPI to 1.222, which is now used in PkgVersion
          (thanks, Dan Book and Sven Kirmess)

        - [ broken release, don't bother ]

6.020     2021-06-14 12:16:09-04:00 America/New_York
        - The log colorization code was trying to use 24-bit color even when
          the installed Term::ANSIColor couldn't support it.  This has been
          fixed by requiring Term::ANSIColor v5.  Thanks, Robert Rothenberg,
          Michael McClimon, and Matthew Horsfall.

6.019     2021-06-13 08:39:14-04:00 America/New_York
        - When using "use_package" in PkgVersion, do not eradicate the entire
          block of "package NAME BLOCK" syntax!  Wow, what a bug...

        - PPI now handles characters, not bytes, fixing non-ASCII
          non-comments in your source

6.002     2016-04-23 17:50:26+01:00 Europe/London (TRIAL RELEASE)
        - tweaks to Dist::Zilla::Path to keep plugins from v5 era working

6.001     2016-04-23 13:21:56+01:00 Europe/London
        [THIS RELEASE MIGHT BREAK YOUR BUILD]
        - Using a Dist::Zilla::Path like a Path::Class object now issues a
          deprecation warning ("this will be removed") once per call site.

6.000     2016-04-23 11:35:28+01:00 Europe/London (TRIAL RELEASE)
        [THIS RELEASE MIGHT BREAK YOUR BUILD]
        - Path::Class has been excised in favor of Path::Tiny, exposed as
          Dist::Zilla::Path; it will still respond to ->subdir and ->file, but
          only until Dist::Zilla v7 -- fix your plugins by then!

        - The --verbose switch to dzil is now strictly on/off.  To set
          verbosity on a per-plugin basis, use the -V switch.  Unfortunately,
          per-plugin verbosity seems to have been broken for some time, anyway.

        - The plugins [Prereq] and [AutoPrereq] and [BumpVersion] have been
          removed.  These were long deprecated.  (Don't confuse Prereq, for
          example, with the plural Prereqs, which is the correct plugin.)

        - [PkgVersion] now supports a use_package argument which will put the
          version in the package statement.  (Remember that this syntax was
          introduced in perl v5.12.0.)

        - Dist::Zilla now requires perl v5.14.0.  It will still happily build
          dists that run on whatever version of perl you like.

5.047     2016-04-23 16:20:13+01:00 Europe/London
        - cast things to Path::Class as needed, for now, for v6 backcompat
          (don't expect more commits like this)

5.046     2016-04-22 15:50:27+01:00 Europe/London
        - avoid using syntax that is called ambiguous on older perls

5.045     2016-04-22 11:37:13+01:00 Europe/London
        - add 'relationship' option to AutoPrereqs plugin (Karen Etheridge)
        - PrereqScanner role abstracts much of the AutoPrereqs behavior
          (thanks, Olivier Mengué!)
        - remove duplicates from the results of the :ExecFiles filefinder
        - [MakeMaker] now rejects version ranges in prereqs if eumm_version is
          not specified to be high enough (7.1101) to guarantee it can be
          handled (Karen Etheridge)
        - allow comments in an authordep specification with a version
        - make FakeReleaser a bit more of a drop-in for UploadToCPAN
          (Erik Carlsson)
        - make PkgDist preserve blank line after 'package' for PkgVersion
          (Chisel Wright)
        - add rename option to [GatherDir::Template] (Alastair McGowan-Douglas)
        - META.json is now emitted in ASCII (using \u... for non-ASCII
          characters) to avoid a bug in older versions of JSON::PP on older
          versions of perl
        - "dzil build --in ." no longer allows you to blow away your cwd

5.044     2016-04-06 20:32:14-04:00 America/New_York
        - require a newer List::Util to avoid a dumb bug caused by relying on
          side effects of loading Moose (thanks, Karen Etheridge!)

5.043     2016-01-04 22:54:56-05:00 America/New_York
        - dzil test now supports --extended to set EXTENDED_TESTING (thanks,
          Philippe Bruhat)

5.042     2015-11-26 09:05:37-05:00 America/New_York
        - try to avoid testing errors when the local time zone can't be
          determined (https://github.com/rjbs/Dist-Zilla/issues/497)

5.041     2015-10-27 22:07:54-04:00 America/New_York
        - add 'static_attribution' attribution to MakeMaker plugin
        - fix prereqs for App::Cmd and Config::MVP::Reader::INI

5.040     2015-10-13 11:42:25-04:00 America/New_York
        - the distribution tarball name no longer includes -TRIAL if the
          version contains an underscore

        - [PkgVersion] adds "$VERSION = $VERSION_SANS_UNDERSCORES" when
          version contains an underscore

        - made the PodCoverageTests and PodSyntaxTests plugins generate author
          tests, not release tests. These are tests you want passing on every
          commit, not just before a release (Dave Rolsky)

5.039     2015-08-10 09:03:08-04:00 America/New_York
        - update required version of MooseX::Role::Parameterized; older
          versions work, but can cause a bunch of unwanted warnings

5.038     2015-08-07 22:16:50-04:00 America/New_York
        - [License] can be given a filename option to use instead of LICENSE

          Wheeler!)

          Karen Etheridge)
        - added the "ignore" option to [Encoding] (thanks, Yanick Champoux)
        - allow ; authordep specifications to contain version ranges (thanks,
          Karen Etheridge)
        - better error when PAUSE credentials can't be loaded (thanks, David
          Golden)
        - fix documentation for the LicenseProvider role
        - improve errors when PPI failes to parse (thanks, Nick Tonkin)
        - sort list of executable files in Makefile.PL, for deterministic
          builds (thanks, Karen Etheridge)
        - omit configure-requires prerequisites from [MakeMaker]'s fallback
          prerequisites (used by older ExtUtils::MakeMaker)

5.037     2015-06-04 21:46:38-04:00 America/New_York
        - issue a warning when version ranges are passed through to
          ExtUtils::MakeMaker, which cannot parse them and treats them as '0'
          https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/issues/215

        - added %P formatter code to [NextRelease] for the releaser's PAUSE id

5.036     2015-05-02 11:08:51-04:00 America/New_York
        - BUGFIX: detection of trial status via underscore in version was
          accidentally lost in v5.035; restored now!

        - fixed [GatherDir]'s handling of symlinks to directories
        - [AutoPrereqs] now filters out all namespaces found in contained

        - META.json is now a UTF-8 file, rather than ASCII

        - if there's a blank line after the package statement (and any number
          of comment-only lines), PkgVersion will use that for a $VERSION
          assignment, rather than insert a new line; this can be made mandatory
          with die_on_line_insertion

4.300038  2013-09-08 09:18:34 America/New_York
        - add horrible hack to avoid generating non-UTF-8 META.yml; seriously,
          don't look at the code!  Thanks, David Golden, whose code was simple
          and probably much, much saner, but didn't cover as many cases as rjbs
          wanted to cover.

        - improve errors when there's not enough configuration and no global
          config file can be found (thanks, Dimitar Petrov)

        - delay loading yet more libraries until needed (thanks, Olivier
          Mengué!)

4.300028  2012-10-19 10:50:42 America/New_York
        - when picking modules to treat as "part of the dist," be more lax in
          understanding libraries under ./t:  ./t/lib/Foo.pm is now treated as
          providing t::lib::Foo, lib::Foo, and Foo

4.300027  2012-10-16 21:07:06 America/New_York
        - the "latest" symlink code broke Dist::Zilla on win32; fixed now!

        - The GatherDir::Template documentation has been improved
          (Thanks, Christopher J. Madsen!)

        - Depend on a more recent version of Config::MVP, which requires a fix
          in Class::Load to fix detection of plugin compilation errors on

4.300006  2011-12-30 15:28:34 America/New_York
        - New methods dist_basename & archive_filename allow plugins
          to reliably get that information.  This makes TestRelease
          testable. (Thanks, Kent Fredric & Christopher J. Madsen!)

          Christopher J. Madsen!)

4.300004  2011-12-12 23:34:30 America/New_York

          (Thanks, Christopher J. Madsen!)

        - the (lack of) order of check of authordeps is now a bit more
          predictible:
          - plugins declared with "; authordep" lines are loaded before others
          - inc:: plugins are checked first and in ASCII order
          (Thanks, Olivier Mengué!)

          Christopher J. Madsen!)

        - Test routines should now properly report the calling line for
          failures ($Test::Builder::Level is being set) (Thanks, Christopher J.

          dzil setup will not die if ~/.dzil does not exist (reported by David
          Golden)

4.101831  2010-07-02 18:33:58 America/New_York

4.101800  2010-06-29 10:29:38 America/New_York
          during dist minting, ModuleMaker occurs before FileGatherer

          ModuleBuild's module_build argument generation is now a method

          Dist::Zilla is now an abstract base class, basically

          * Dist::Zilla::Dist::Builder and ::Minter perform the real work

          * Dist::Zilla::Tester has been updated to work with these

          a very basic test for minting, now possible, has been added

          added prune_file method to Dist::Zilla to eliminate the need for
          altering the ->files arrayref directly

          added the ClearPrereqs plugin

          [Prereq] is now called [Prereqs], but [Prereq] will continue to work

4.101780  2010-06-27 14:30:55 America/New_York

4.101612  2010-06-10 12:12:00 America/New_York
          The PAUSE indexer will not be pleased. The 4.101610 PkgVersion
          changes are entirely reverted.

4.101611  2010-06-10 11:37:52 America/New_York
          added nonsensical $VERSION = $VERSION to appease the PAUSE indexer
          and other garbage code that evals a single line to guess at the
          version's value

4.101610  2010-06-10 10:01:37 America/New_York
          Fix Win32 \r\n emission. \r\n is only emitted now if its there in
          the original code. Tests included to make sure DZil doesn't sufer
          the problem under itself on windows. (Kent Fredric)

          Fix Tar permissions. (Kent Fredric, stolen from Module::Build)

          @Filter can now pass arguments along to the filter if you use a new
          dash-prefix config convention.  Consult its documentation for more
          information.  (Florian Ragwitz)

          PkgVersion now adds the version assignment to the same line as the
          package declaration to avoid altering line numbering.  (David
          Golden)

          improve tests to work with new CPAN::Meta

          some methods that were undocumented have been _-prefixed

          ModuleBuild now turns on recursive_test_files unconditionally

          the install_command argument to $zilla->install should now be an
          arrayref

          no longer try to compose an obsolete Dist::Zilla::Config role

4.101540  2010-06-03 23:52:52 America/New_York
          INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:

          New global config system!

          Your ~/.dzil/config.ini is now broken.  Running `dzil` should tell
          you how to fix it.  Probably just replace [!release] with [%PAUSE]
          and delete everything else.  Hope that helps!

          Major refactoring of our use of Config::MVP; this probably won't
          break anything unless you wrote your own config readers, which I'm
          pretty sure you haven't done!

          config parameters beginning with a colon are not passed to plugins
          (this should not really affect anyone)

          OTHER CHANGES:

          plugins are now registered as soon as their config section has been
          read

          Dist::Zilla::Role::Stash has been added

          :version can now be passed as a config section value to require that
          the config's package be of the specified version

          reserved config property names (plugin_name, zilla) are now fatal
          during config read rather than plugin instantiation

          core license attrs will look in the %Rights stash for defaults

          `dzil new` will work if you have no configured profiles

          generated Makefile.PL no longer has trailing spaces (Florian Ragwitz)

          Document 'user' parameter for :FakeRelease (Kent Fredric)

          will probably work just fine on Win32 now!

3.101520  2010-06-01 11:50:16 America/New_York
          unixify all gathered filenames (Christian Walde)

          the ->prereq method on Dist::Zilla is gone (only prereqs remains)

          distmeta is managed by CPAN::Meta, which expects v2 spec data by
          default

          most Dist::Zilla::Types are gone, now in MooseX::Types::Perl

          OTHER CHANGES:

          META.json and META.yml are now produced by CPAN::Meta

          Dist::Zilla::Prereqs now proxies for CPAN::Meta::Prereqs

          MetaResources supports CPAN Meta Spec version 2, but still works
            with old-style resources as well (Dave Rolsky)

          quote filenames with spaces in MANIFEST (Dave Rolsky)

          Manifest plugin is now a FileGatherer, not an InstallTool

          attempted a fix for `dzil install` on Win32 (RT #57404)

2.101160  2010-04-26 19:51:52 America/New_York
          `dzil new` now does nothing and says so

          GatherDir and PruneCruft now both have verbose log output

          the App config system has been moved and made non-public; it was
          crazy and awful

          version numbers are not validated by version.pm, not my own dumb
          regex

          `dzil clean` no longer removes backup~ files (sorry, jq)

          TestRelease is better about picking a build location (Christopher J.
