Changes for version 0.198 - 2019-02-03

  • Reorganized and factored out some of our own code
  • Carried out major refactoring to ease maintenance
  • Added some extra functionality & properties for 'dist.ini'
  • Here are details :
    • 1. Split the pre-checks and verifications that happen in configure() into a dedicated subroutine.
    • 2. Factor all settings, defaults, and related logic out of configure()
    • 3. Generalize author-specific settings & preferences so as to refrain from having to refer to individual authors within actual code, and hence put all such references into settings data.
    • 4. Add or expose some settings / parameters:
      • a) Make sure that most, if not all, settings and preferences are surfaced as parameters in 'dist.ini'.
        • New parameters include :
          • do_not_gather (multivalue)
          • spelling_pref / spelling_preference
          • static_install_mode
          • static_install_dry_run
          • install_release_from_cpan
          • verify_phases
      • b) Add some other settings/parameters inspired by DAGOLDEN's bundle and then some:
        • weaver_config
        • version_regexp
        • tag_format
        • tag_message
        • release_snapshot_commit_msg
      • c)Expose some settings from [@Git::VersionManager] :
        • changes_version_columns (int)
        • bump_version_global
        • rewrite_version_global
      • d)Add some new settings/parameters :
        • allow_insecure_operations # Mainly for shaperoning 'install_release_from_cpan'
        • commit_copied # default = 1. When set (the default), the files which were previously
          • copied from the release will also be committed to the
          • repository afterwards.
        • git_branch # default = 'master'
        • git_remote # default = 'origin'
        • git_remote_branch # default = git_branch() || 'master'
        • vcs_check # default = 1. Check cleanliness of the VCS repository (initially and after tests)
        • vcs_check_more # default = 1. Additional VCS related checks (merge conflicts, correct branch, remote branch, ...)
    • 5. Ability to specify 'implicit' additions to multi-value parameters can now to be overridden in 'dist.ini' while also eliminating hard-coded values for those, e.g. :
      • installer_implicit
      • do_not_gather_implicit
      • copy_file_from_release_implicit
      • commit_file_from_release_implicit
      • ...
    • 6. Adjust 'never_gather_implicit' (i.e. 'do_not_gather_implicit'), adding:
      • README, README.mkdn,
      • META.yml
      • TODO.yml todo.yml todo.txt notes.txt notes.COMMIT.txt _ .dzil.out
    • 7. Refactor 'profile.ini' functionality
      • Put templates of hidden files in skel (now that dzil supports this):
        • .gitignore (used to be generated from within 'profile.ini')
        • .travis.yml (renamed from 'travis.yml')
    • 9. Refactor the way attribute defaults are obtained.
      • This is now done via the _resolve*() family of methods. Defaults are searched through a predictable list of source hashes. The list of sources is obtained from _fallback_settings() method.
    • 10. Refactor Config data into a dedicated module (...::Config)
    • 11. Refactor some routines into utility modules in separate distros :
      • Banal-Util-Mini # General purpose utility functions.
        • This may later get merged into the 'Banal-Utils' distro
      • Banal-Dist-Tools # (Dist related utilities and roles)
      • Banal-Role-Fallback # (fallback mechanism for attribute defaults, including author-specific preferences)
    • 12. Refactor some functionality to a dedicated role 'Banal::Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Easier'
    • 13. Improve the POD Weaver plugin-bundle, adding some more stuff:
      • Pod::Weaver::Plugin::*
        • -AppendPrepend
        • -EnsureUniqueSections
        • -Include
        • -StopWords
      • Pod::Weaver::Section::*
        • WarrantyDisclaimer
    • 14. Adapt the templates in the minting profile 15. Adapt tests whenever it made sense to do so (to cover expected changes)
    • ADDITIONAL NOTES:
    • Also fixed the test in 't/06-airplaine.t', failing since switching to the 'dev' branch. ( ETHER is probably testing only on 'master').
    • The fix involved adding a few plugins, such as (CheckIssues CheckPrereqsIndexed) to the list of plugins to be removed during all tests ('@REMOVED_PLUGINS' array) in 't/lib/Helper.pm'.
    • Took the opportinity to make a small improvement in 't/06-airplain.t', by removing an explict reference to the name of our plugin-bundle.
    • '.gitignore' closely follows what's in the minting skeleton.
    • Bootsrapping (i.e. using the development version of this very pluginbundle to build itself) now works with both 'lib' and 'Bootsrap::lib', the former ('lib') being the preferred method (as it appears to involve less magic), and the latter (Bootstrap::lib) commented out in 'dist.ini'.
    • Also fixed some minor POD syntax issues. For example, POD weaver appears to be eating some blank lines which then causes the POD syntax tests to fail. Pay extra attention to the start and end of lists (Pod::Elemental::Transformer::List) signalled by '=begin :list' and '=end :list'.
