NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::NextRelease - Use time-stamp from Git instead of process start time.

VERSION

version 0.001001

SYNOPSIS

This module acts as a moderately thin wrapper to [NextRelease] so that the time-stamps produced are generated by asking git for the time-stamp of the current branch.

If you always require a specific branch for generating time-stamps, it can be specified as a parameter.

-[NextRelease]
+[Git::NextRelease]

Optionally:

+branch = master

This exists mostly because of my extensive use of [Git::CommitBuild], to provide a commit series for both releases, and builds of all changes/commits in order to push them to Travis for testing. ( Mostly, because testing a build branch is substantially faster than testing a master that requires Dist::Zilla, especially if you're doing "Fresh install" testing like I am. )

METHODS

section_header

This is the sole method of [NextRelease] that we override, in order for it to inject the right things.

This method basically returns the date string to append to the Changes header.
