| Subject: | version nums, eg of Moose::Role, not upd when files changed |
I've noticed with Moose release 0.58 that a number of core files received updates, such as
Moose::Role, but their version numbers were not incremented and still are 0.57.
Separately, I've noticed from past releases that it is normal practice with Moose development for
all versioned files to share the version number of the distro or main file (Moose.pm), so for
example all such files would have been made 0.58 for this release regardless of whether they
received any changes since the last one. Certainly I can see this practice as keeping things
simpler in a couple ways, including that when you're going to do a release, updating all the
versions is as easy as a multi-file s/0.57/0.58/ .
In support of people that may use other components of the Moose distro but not Moose.pm
itself in certain other distros, I recommend cutting another release that fixes this (maybe 0.581)
or alternately just remember to increment all versions appropriately on your next release.
