Changes for version 1.003000 - 2015-04-05

  • 00 MAJOR / Internals Reinvention
    • Due to Dist::Zilla versions 5.032 and higher now ripping out :version from the payloads prior to anything being able to see it[1,2], the implementation details have had to be reinvented.
    • This was arguably a bad idea in the first place to use a property you had to traverse 2 seperate private methods to find in the first place.
    • However, the new technology is based on my bakeini stack work, and is thus partially fragile in that it inherently parses and processes dist.ini ( and any bundles in it ) in a way slightly different to Dist::Zilla.
    • Thus, there are 2 parses of dist.ini going on, and any bundles will now be invoked *twice* in the same process, thus opening for risk any kind of code that did not expect that to happen.
    • This is hopefully not the long term solution, and hopefully Config::MVP itself can be augmented to expose this data better without needing to resort to the second parse stack.

    • 2: https://metacpan.org/diff/file?target=RJBS/Dist-Zilla-5.032/lib/Dist/Zilla/MVP/Section.pm&source=RJBS/Dist-Zilla-5.031/lib/Dist/Zilla/MVP/Section.pm
  • 01 Minor / Increased visibility of top level :version
    • One fringe benefit of the changes however is the increased visibility of the ":version" statement that can appear on its own at the top of a dist.ini declaring a minimum dzil version. This value is now consumed if present and communicated as a dependendy on that Dist::Zilla version.
    • Thus, this plugin is more comparable to DZP:AuthorDeps in exposing dependencies, while still superceding it in terms of reporting deep bundle-specific deps.
  • Dependencies::Stats
    • Dependencies changed since 1.002001, see misc/*.deps* for details
    • configure: +1 (recommends: ↑1)
    • develop: +8 ↑3 -2 (recommends: +1, suggests: ↑2)
    • runtime: +5 ↓1 -1 (recommends: +2)
    • test: +1 (recommends: ↑1 ↓1)
