Changes for version 6.01 - 2022-01-15

  • Add new docknot release command and corresponding App::DocKnot::Release module to copy a tarball releaes (normally created by docknot dist) into a release area, update symlinks, archive any previous releases, and update the .versions file used by docknot spin. DocKnot now depends on Sort::Versions.
  • Add new docknot update-spin command and corresponding update_spin method in App::DocKnot::Update to update a spin input tree to the latest expectations. Currently, all this does is convert *.rpod pointer files to *.spin pointer files.
  • docknot spin now uses Path::Iterator::Rule and Path::Tiny to construct its paths, which eliminates the need to change the working directory while processing input files.
  • Fix spurious requirement for a package metadata file when running docknot spin.
  • Don't overwrite output files from docknot generate or generate-all if the generation fails.
  • Require Pod::Thread 3.01 or later.
