NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::NextRelease - update the next release number in your changelog

VERSION

       version 6.010

SYNOPSIS

       In your dist.ini:

         [NextRelease]

       In your Changes file:

         {{$NEXT}}

DESCRIPTION

       Tired of having to update your Changes file by hand with the new version and release date
       / time each time you release your distribution?  Well, this plugin is for you.

       Add this plugin to your dist.ini, and the following to your Changes file:

         {{$NEXT}}

       The "NextRelease" plugin will then do 2 things:

       •   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 Changes file won't be updated.

       •   After release (when running "dzil release"), since the version and build date are now
           part of your dist's history, the real Changes file (not the in-memory one) will be
           updated with this piece of information.

       The module accepts the following options in its dist.ini section:

       filename
           the name of your changelog file;  defaults to Changes

       update_filename
           the file to which to write an updated changelog to; defaults to the "filename"

       format
           sprintf-like string used to compute the next value of "{{$NEXT}}"; defaults to "%-9v
           %{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss VVVV}d"

       time_zone
           the timezone to use when generating the date;  defaults to local

       user_stash
           the name of the stash where the user's name and email address can be found; defaults
           to %User

       The module allows the following sprintf-like format codes in the "format":

       %v  The distribution version

       "%{-TRIAL}T"
           Expands to -TRIAL (or any other supplied string) if this is a trial release, or the
           empty string if not.  A bare %T means "%{-TRIAL}T".

       "%{-TRIAL}V"
           Equivalent to "%v%{-TRIAL}T", to allow for the application of modifiers such as space
           padding to the entire version string produced.

       "%{CLDR format}d"
           The date of the release.  You can use any CLDR format supported by DateTime.  You must
           specify the format; there is no default.

       %U  The name of the user making this release (from "user_stash").

       %E  The email address of the user making this release (from "user_stash").

       %P  The CPAN (PAUSE) id of the user making this release (from -Releaser plugins; see
           [UploadToCPAN]).

       %n  A newline

       %t  A tab
