Dist::Zilla::Plugin::NextRelease - update the next release number in your changelog
version 1.100710
In your dist.ini:
[NextRelease]
In your Changes file:
{{$NEXT}}
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:
The NextRelease plugin will then do 2 things:
NextRelease
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.
dzil release
The module accepts the following options in its dist.ini section:
filename - the name of your changelog file. defaults to Changes.
format - the date format. defaults to %-9v %{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss VVVV}d.
%-9v %{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss VVVV}d
