Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AutoVersion(3)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AutoVersion - take care of numbering versions so you don't have to

VERSION
version 5.006

DESCRIPTION
This plugin automatically produces a version string, generally based on the current time. By default, it will be in the format: 1.yyDDDn

ATTRIBUTES

  major
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.

This attribute's value can be referred to in the autoversion format template.

  format
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).

The default value is:

  {{ $major }}.{{ cldr('yyDDD') }}
  {{ sprintf('%01u', ($ENV{N} || 0)) }}
  {{$ENV{DEV} ? (sprintf '_%03u', $ENV{DEV}) : ''}}
