# NAME Dist::Zilla::Plugin::EnsureChangesHasContent - Checks Changes for content using CPAN::Changes # VERSION version 0.01 # SYNOPSIS [EnsureChangesHasContent] filename = Changelog # DESCRIPTION This is a `BeforeRelease` phase plugin that ensures that the changelog file _in your distribution_ has at least one change listed for the version you are releasing. It is an alternative to [Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CheckChangesHasContent](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CheckChangesHasContent) that uses [CPAN::Changes](https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Changes) to parse the changelog file. If your file follows the format described by [CPAN::Changes::Spec](https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Changes::Spec), then this method of checking for changes is more reliable than the ad hoc parsing used by [Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CheckChangesHasContent](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CheckChangesHasContent). # CONFIGURATION This plugin offers one configuration option: ## filename The filename in the distribution containing the changelog. This defaults to `Changes`. # SUPPORT Bugs may be submitted through [the RT bug tracker](http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Dist-Zilla-Plugin-EnsureChangesHasContent) (or [bug-dist-zilla-plugin-ensurechangeshascontent@rt.cpan.org](mailto:bug-dist-zilla-plugin-ensurechangeshascontent@rt.cpan.org)). I am also usually active on IRC as 'autarch' on `irc://irc.perl.org`. # DONATIONS If you'd like to thank me for the work I've done on this module, please consider making a "donation" to me via PayPal. I spend a lot of free time creating free software, and would appreciate any support you'd care to offer. Please note that **I am not suggesting that you must do this** in order for me to continue working on this particular software. I will continue to do so, inasmuch as I have in the past, for as long as it interests me. Similarly, a donation made in this way will probably not make me work on this software much more, unless I get so many donations that I can consider working on free software full time (let's all have a chuckle at that together). To donate, log into PayPal and send money to autarch@urth.org, or use the button at [http://www.urth.org/~autarch/fs-donation.html](http://www.urth.org/~autarch/fs-donation.html). # AUTHOR Dave Rolsky # COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is Copyright (c) 2017 by Dave Rolsky.
