Changes for version 7.00 - 2022-01-17

  • Various module APIs now take Path::Tiny objects instead of string paths. Roughly, any module API that is not called directly by App::DocKnot::Command now expects paths in the form of Path::Tiny objects and does not always do an explicit conversion.
  • Fix Unicode handling in App::DocKnot::Spin::Thread methods. Output to files was handled correctly in most cases, but output to a scalar or to standard output was not, nor was output to a file when the input was generated by another program.
  • Fix processing of old-style pointers in docknot spin.
  • Fix import error when running docknot release.
  • Fix .versions updating via docknot release when the package that needs to be udpated is not the first line of the file.
  • When spinning an input tree, process all .rss files first in a separate pass. This ensurse the output files are seen when spinning the tree into the output directory.
  • Ensure docknot dist always regenerates the *.tar.xz file if necessary, rather than reusing one left over from a previous build of the same version.
  • Always recreate GnuPG signatures when generating distribution tarballs in docknot dist.
  • When copying distribution files with docknot release, also copy the modification timestamps of those files.
