ATTRIBUTES

group_by_author

Whether to group commit messages by their author. This is the only way previous versions did it. Defaults to no, and [ Anne Author ] is appended to the commit message.

Defaults to off.

show_author_email

Author email is probably just noise for most people, but turn this on if you want to show it [ Anne Author <anne@author.com> ]

Defaults to off.

show_author

Whether to show authors at all. Turning this off also turns off grouping by author and author emails.

Defaults to on.

tag_regexp

A regexp string which will be used to match git tags to find releases. If your release tags are not compliant with CPAN::Changes::Spec, you can use a capture group. It will be used as the version in place of the full tag name.

Also takes semantic, which becomes qr{^v?(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)$}, and decimal, which becomes qr{^v?(\d+\.\d+)$}.

Defaults to 'decimal'

file_name

The name of the changelog file.

Defaults to 'Changes'.

preamble

Block of text at the beginning of the changelog.

Defaults to 'Changelog for $dist_name'

copy_to_root

When true, the generated changelog will be copied into the root folder where it can be committed (possiby automatically by Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::Commit)

Defaults to true.
