Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AutoVersion - take care of numbering versions so you don't have to
version 5.011
This plugin automatically produces a version string, generally based on the current time. By default, it will be in the format: 1.yyDDDn
The major attribute is just an integer that is meant to store the major version number. If no value is specified in configuration, it will default to 1.
major
This attribute's value can be referred to in the autoversion format template.
The format is a Text::Template string that will be rendered to form the version. It is meant to access to one variable, $major, and one subroutine, cldr, which will format the current time (in GMT) using CLDR patterns (for which consult the DateTime documentation).
$major
cldr
The default value is:
{{ $major }}.{{ cldr('yyDDD') }} {{ sprintf('%01u', ($ENV{N} || 0)) }} {{$ENV{DEV} ? (sprintf '_%03u', $ENV{DEV}) : ''}}
Core Dist::Zilla plugins: PkgVersion, PodVersion, NextRelease.
