NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ChangesFromYaml - convert Changes from YAML to CPAN::Changes::Spec format

SYNOPSIS

In your 'dist.ini':

    [ChangesFromYaml]

DESCRIPTION

This module lets you keep your Changes file in YAML format:

    version: 0.37
    date:    Fri Oct 25 21:46:59 MYT 2013
    changes:
    - 'Bugfix: Run Test::Compile tests as xt as they require optional dependencies to be present (GH issue #22)'
    - 'Testing: Added Travis-CI integration'
    - 'Makefile: Added target to update version on all packages'

and during build converts it to CPAN::Changes::Spec format

    0.37 Fri Oct 25 21:46:59 MYT 2013
     - Bugfix: Run Test::Compile tests as xt as they require optional
       dependencies to be present (GH issue #22)
     - Testing: Added Travis-CI integration
     - Makefile: Added target to update version on all packages

DATE FORMAT

The dates used on the YAML format can also be converted if they don't follow CPAN::Changes::Spec rules.

Ie. if you keep your dates as the output of `date` (Sun Oct 27 02:10:50 MYT 2013), add:

    [ChangesFromYaml]
    dateformat = ccc MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy

This will convert your dates from:

    version: 0.37
    date:    Fri Oct 25 21:46:59 MYT 2013

into:

    0.37 2013-10-25 21:46:59 +0800

For documentation on the pattern, read DateTime::Format::CLDR.
