[THIS RELEASE MIGHT BREAK YOUR BUILD]
Path::Class has been excised in favor of Path::Tiny, exposed as
Dist::Zilla::Path; it will still respond to ->subdir and ->file, but
only until Dist::Zilla v7 -- fix your plugins by then!The --verbose switch to dzil is now strictly on/off. To set
verbosity on a per-plugin basis, use the -V switch. Unfortunately,
per-plugin verbosity seems to have been broken for some time, anyway.The plugins [Prereq] and [AutoPrereq] and [BumpVersion] have been
removed. These were long deprecated. (Don't confuse Prereq, for
example, with the plural Prereqs, which is the correct plugin.)[PkgVersion] now supports a use_package argument which will put the
version in the package statement. (Remember that this syntax was
introduced in perl v5.12.0.)Dist::Zilla now requires perl v5.14.0. It will still happily build
dists that run on whatever version of perl you like.
