[DBIx-Class-Devel] Re: [sql-translator] Re-worked Changes file (#23)

[Brian Cassidy]

Not sure what you mean by "no apparent reason" since the commit message states the reason -- i.e. to adhere to CPAN::Changes spec -- but allow me to elucidate as best I can :)

The point is to create a human readable & machine parsable changelog using a format widely used by existing distributions already on CPAN. The end result allows programmatic access to the data so that changelogs can be read from (think "most recent feed" for e.g.), written to and updated (think automated tools to update the version & release date in the changelog, for e.g.)

If you haven't already, please checkout http://changes.cpanhq.org/ for a bit more info.

I know the unified diff looks a wee-bit messy, but if you view the files side-by-side, you'll see the changes are actually relatively minor:

 * Remove "---" line markers
 * Remove starting pound signs (#)
 * Add single space before changelog marker (*)
 * Make spacing between changelog lines consistent

And that's basically all.

If there are other questions, let me know! Cheers :)
