This queue is for tickets about the GDGraph CPAN distribution.

Maintainer(s)' notes

There are plenty of good ideas of what people can do published here on the queue. Turning a patch from the tracker into a pull request is not one of them. In order to get maintainers' attention way more quickier, PR should have at least a sample included. We know it's hard to test images generating software, but it doesn't mean we can not test numbers produced by intermediate algorithms used to generate these images, so either a test or a sample.

Subject: CPAN shell wants to downgrade GD::Graph
When I check for what can be updated in the CPAN shell (r) it wants to downgrade GD::Graph. GD::Graph::Data 1.21.2.2 1.21 BWARFIELD/GDGraph-1.4307.tar.gz GD::Graph::axestype 1.44.2.14 1.44 MVERB/GDGraph-1.43.tar.gz GD::Graph::pie 1.20.2.4 1.20 BWARFIELD/GDGraph-1.4306.tar.gz I don't think CPAN.pm supports x.y.z.q version numbers only x.y.z. I'd recommend switching to x.y.z and incrementing y to get CPAN past the older x.y.z.q versions.
That's not the only place that multi-dot version numbers seem to cause issues, in fact (PAUSE also doesn't like it much). They're only in there because of some more-or-less irrelevant version-control choices I made when I first started working on a new release of the distribution: I'll certainly take them back out before the next one.
