Changes for version 4.26 - 2014-12-13

  • Don't use Moose::Autobox (GitHub#3: Thanks, Olivier Mengué) Dist::Zilla doesn't use it anymore, so it's an extra prerequisite. This affects ArchiveRelease, GitVersionCheckCJM, MakeMaker::Custom, and ModuleBuild::Custom, but their behavior should not have changed.

Modules

Move the release tarball to an archive directory
Ensure version numbers are up-to-date
Allow a dist to have a custom Makefile.PL
Add arbitrary keys to distmeta
Allow a dist to have a custom Build.PL
Look for comments recommending prerequisites
Check the prereqs from our META.json
Get distribution version from its main_module
Dump selected hash keys as a string
Create Module::Metadata object from Dist::Zilla::File
