NAME

Test::NewVersion - provides a test interface for checking that you are using a new $VERSION

VERSION

version 0.003

SYNOPSIS

In your distribution's xt/release/new_version.t:

use Test::NewVersion;
all_new_version_ok();

DESCRIPTION

This module provides interfaces that check the PAUSE index for latest $VERSION of each module, to confirm that the version number(s) has been/have been incremented.

This is helpful when you are managing your distribution's version manually, where you might forget to increment the version before release.

It is permitted for a module to have no version number at all, but if it is set, it must have been incremented from the previous value, as otherwise this case would be indistinguishable from developer error (forgetting to increment the version), which is what we're testing for.

FUNCTIONS

all_new_version_ok()

Scans all .pm and <.pod> files in blib or lib, calling new_version_ok() on each.

new_version_ok($filename)

Tests against the PAUSE index for all package and $VERSION statements found in the provided file.
