VERSION

       Version 0.14

SYNOPSIS

           use Debian::LicenseReconcile::Filter::ChangeLog;

           my $filter = Debian::LicenseReconcile::Filter::ChangeLog->new(
               directory=>'.',
               changelog=>$CHANGELOG,
           );
           my @info = $filter->get_info();

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

   get_info
       Returns a list of hash references describing copyright and license information that should be checked
       against the copyright target. The results returned from this filter consist of blocks whose copyright
       holders and years are taken from the changelog. One block is generated for every file with unassigned
       copyright below the debian directory. The license string is taken from the license field of the filter
       config but defaults to 'GPL-2+'.

       Also the code will look for changelog lines of the form:

           Email change: Nicholas Bamber -> periapt@debian.org

       The purpose of this is that if a maintainer's email address has changed over the course of the history of
       the package only the email address specified in that directive will be used.
