Changes for version v0.5.0 - 2025-08-10

  • Enhancements
    • Pod::Weaver::Section::Requirements changelog can be blank, so that it will use the same file from the NextRelease plugin.
    • Added dump_config support, GH#10.
  • Incompatabilities
    • Pod::Weaver::Section::Requirements no longer guesses the prerequisites automatically. The added guess_prereqs option will enable this. This should only affect when it is not used with the UsefulReadme plugin. (Thanks @leont)
  • Documentation
    • Pod::Weaver::Section::Requirements metafile notes how the attribute is used.
    • Updated Changes with explicit acknowledgements.
  • Other Changes
    • When registering itself as a development prerequsite, it will use v0.4.3 (baseline features and bug fixes) rather than the current version.
  • Tests
    • Add more tests.
    • Explicitly declared Pod::Weaver as a test prerequsite.
