Revision history for App::prepare4release

0.02    2026-04-05
        Invalid prepare4release.json: warn and treat as {} (no fatal decode).
        Root JSON keys copied into Makefile.PL WriteMakefile: author, abstract,
        abstract_from, license, min_perl_version / perl_min, module_name / name,
        version_from, exe_files (array).
        New App::prepare4release::Deps: static scan of lib/, bin/, maint/, t/ (optional
        xt/) for use/require; optional --sync-deps / dependencies.sync merges missing
        modules into PREREQ_PM and TEST_REQUIRES; appends requires/test_requires to
        cpanfile when present (dependencies.sync_cpanfile, dependencies.skip,
        dependencies.scan_xt). Module::CoreList for omitting core deps without explicit
        use VERSION. Tests: t/config-load.t, t/makefile-metadata.t, t/deps-sync.t;
        integration fixtures use dependencies.skip. Deps.pm: $VERSION for Test::Version.
        POD/README: document JSON resilience, metadata keys, dependency sync.
        t/deps-sync.t: use lib ../lib for harnesses without prove -Ilib; Deps: guard
        Module::CoreList::is_core with eval + can() for older perls.

        MY::postamble runs maint/inject-readme-badges.pl after pod2github/pod2markdown:
        generated standalone Perl (core only) embeds frozen README shields so make
        README.md does not require App::prepare4release at build time; commit the
        script for CPAN clones. POD: section L</README badge injector (maint/inject-readme-badges.pl)>.
        With --cpan: ensure LICENSE (Artistic/Copying from upstream or built-in fallback),
        README stub when only README.md exists, default MANIFEST.SKIP if missing,
        then perl Makefile.PL and make manifest. Version bump to 0.01.
        xt/metacpan-live.t: import cmp_ok from Test2::Tools::Basic.
        xt/author/cpants.t: remove tarball after analysis (fixes portability.t).
        Ship LICENSE, README, MANIFEST.SKIP for CPANTS/kwalitee.

0.001   CI: GitHub Actions / GitLab CI templates (Perl matrix via MetaCPAN ceiling),
        optional ci.apt_packages, Alien::* scan hint, tests and expanded POD.
        xt/metacpan-live.t runs against live MetaCPAN when RELEASE_TESTING is set.
        Tests use Test2::V1; Makefile.PL author Sergey Kovalev.
        Warn on Test::More/Test::Most in t/xt; xt/author extended tests (Synopsis, …).
        Removed Test::Kwalitee::Extra / xt/author/kwalitee-extra.t.
        xt/author/pause-permissions.t and pod-coverage.t use Test::More (not Test2)
        so Test::PAUSE::Permissions / Test::Pod::Coverage load correctly.
        Those tests' skip_all now includes $^X and $@ (diagnose wrong perl / @INC).
        pause-permissions: use all_permissions_ok (CPAN API). pod-coverage: FQCN
        pod_coverage_ok (avoid Test::More plan import clash).
        xt/author/cpants.t: Module::CPANTS::Analyse on make tardist (RELEASE_TESTING=1).
        cpants.t: require Module::CPANTS::Kwalitee->can(new); TEST_REQUIRES Kwalitee.
        cpants.t: unlink existing tarball before tardist (non-interactive gzip).
        Empty or whitespace-only prepare4release.json loads as {}; t/config-load.t.
        META_MERGE patch: quotemeta resources head in s/// (brace in pattern).
        Do not warn legacy Test::More on author tests that require Test::Builder.
        Makefile.PL: fix META_MERGE (resources/bugtracker inside resources => {}).
        Badges in README.md (after make/pod2conversion), not in POD; strip legacy POD
        badge blocks. git.author required for --github/--gitlab unless git.repo is a
        full path or URL. CI badge: GitHub only with --github; GitLab pipeline only
        with --gitlab (host: git.server, else from git.repo URL, else gitlab.com).
        Fix _pod_badge_markdown_line when called as a method (invocant shift).
        README license badge: Makefile.PL LICENSE or infer from root LICENSE file;
        link to repo LICENSE blob with --github/--gitlab and git.default_branch.
        Perl badge minimum: min_perl_version / perl_min in JSON, else MIN_PERL_VERSION.
        README badges: no HTML comment wrappers; strip prior shields by line pattern.
        MetaCPAN matrix ceiling: GET /v1/release/perl (fix bogus sort=version first hit).
        Ceiling tag: robust version parse; reject minors below 10 (bogus v5.8.x data).
        GitHub CI: use shogo82148/actions-setup-perl (shivammathur/setup-perl does not exist).
        Makefile.PL: TEST_REQUIRES only Test2::Suite; xt/author deps in META develop;
        generated CI uses cpanm --installdeps . without --with-develop.
        CI: perl Makefile.PL before installdeps; explicit cpanm Test2::Suite (cpanfile shortcut).
        t/helpers-more.t: unit tests for URL/git helpers, badges, license inference,
        README badge insert/strip, parse_argv, MetaCPAN ceiling helpers, list_files_for_eol_xt.
        t/more-coverage.t: integration run() via fork+exec (FindBin-safe), apply_ci_files,
        warn_legacy_test_frameworks, Makefile postamble/META_MERGE, strip POD badges, etc.
        t/coverage-edge.t: MetaCPAN/HTTP fallbacks (mocked HTTP::Tiny::get), empty CI matrix,
        split_pm without __END__, ensure_meta_merge skip, license/min-perl edge cases.
        Fix _find_exe_in_path: was using invocant as program name (method needs ($class, $name)).
        Integration runs use --verbose to exercise run() diagnostic warnings.
