.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Tired of having to update your \fIChanges\fR file by hand with the new
version and release date / time each time you release your distribution?
Well, this plugin is for you.
.PP
Add this plugin to your \fIdist.ini\fR, and the following to your
\&\fIChanges\fR file:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  {{$NEXT}}
.Ve
.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`NextRelease\*(C'\fR plugin will then do 2 things:
.IP "\(bu" 4
At build time, this special marker will be replaced with the
version and the build date, to form a standard changelog header. This
will be done to the in-memory file \- the original \fIChanges\fR file won't
be updated.
.IP "\(bu" 4
After release (when running \f(CW\*(C`dzil release\*(C'\fR), since the version
and build date are now part of your dist's history, the real \fIChanges\fR
file (not the in-memory one) will be updated with this piece of
information.
.PP
The module accepts the following options in its \fIdist.ini\fR section:
.IP "filename" 4
.IX Item "filename"
the name of your changelog file;  defaults to \fIChanges\fR
.IP "update_filename" 4
.IX Item "update_filename"
the file to which to write an updated changelog to; defaults to the \f(CW\*(C`filename\*(C'\fR
.IP "format" 4
.IX Item "format"
sprintf-like string used to compute the next value of \f(CW\*(C`{{$NEXT}}\*(C'\fR;
defaults to \f(CW\*(C`%\-9v %{yyyy\-MM\-dd HH:mm:ssZZZZZ VVVV}d%{ (TRIAL RELEASE)}T\*(C'\fR
.IP "time_zone" 4
.IX Item "time_zone"
the timezone to use when generating the date;  defaults to \fIlocal\fR
.IP "user_stash" 4
.IX Item "user_stash"
the name of the stash where the user's name and email address can be found;
defaults to \f(CW%User\fR
.PP
The module allows the following sprintf-like format codes in the \f(CW\*(C`format\*(C'\fR:
.ie n .IP "%v" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW%v\fR" 4
.IX Item "%v"
The distribution version
.ie n .IP """%{\-TRIAL}T""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW%{\-TRIAL}T\fR" 4
.IX Item "%{-TRIAL}T"
Expands to \-TRIAL (or any other supplied string) if this
is a trial release, or the empty string if not.  A bare \f(CW%T\fR means
\&\f(CW\*(C`%{\-TRIAL}T\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .IP """%{\-TRIAL}V""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW%{\-TRIAL}V\fR" 4
.IX Item "%{-TRIAL}V"
Equivalent to \f(CW\*(C`%v%{\-TRIAL}T\*(C'\fR, to allow for the application of modifiers such
as space padding to the entire version string produced.
.ie n .IP """%{CLDR format}d""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW%{CLDR format}d\fR" 4
.IX Item "%{CLDR format}d"
The date of the release.  You can use any \s-1CLDR\s0 format supported by
DateTime.  You must specify the format; there is no default.
.ie n .IP "%U" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW%U\fR" 4
.IX Item "%U"
The name of the user making this release (from \f(CW\*(C`user_stash\*(C'\fR).
.ie n .IP "%E" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW%E\fR" 4
.IX Item "%E"
The email address of the user making this release (from \f(CW\*(C`user_stash\*(C'\fR).
.ie n .IP "%P" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW%P\fR" 4
.IX Item "%P"
The \s-1CPAN\s0 (\s-1PAUSE\s0) id of the user making this release (from \-Releaser plugins;
see [UploadToCPAN]).
.ie n .IP "%n" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW%n\fR" 4
.IX Item "%n"
A newline
.ie n .IP "%t" 4
