It was +originally written in HTML and later revised into POD (though published +in HTML generated from the POD). Fields were added, removed or changed, +sometimes by design and sometimes to reflect real-world usage after the +fact. +.PP +This document reconstructs the history of the CPAN Meta Spec based on +change logs, repository commit messages and the published HTML files. +In some cases, particularly prior to version 1.2, the exact version +when certain fields were introduced or changed is inconsistent between +sources. When in doubt, the published HTML files for versions 1.0 to +1.4 as they existed when version 2 was developed are used as the +definitive source. +.PP +Starting with version 2, the specification document is part of the +CPAN-Meta distribution and will be published on CPAN as +CPAN::Meta::Spec. +.PP +Going forward, specification version numbers will be integers and +decimal portions will correspond to a release date for the CPAN::Meta +library. +.SH HISTORY +.IX Header "HISTORY" +.SS "Version 2" +.IX Subsection "Version 2" +April 2010 +.IP \(bu 4 +Revised spec examples as perl data structures rather than YAML +.IP \(bu 4 +Switched to JSON serialization from YAML +.IP \(bu 4 +Specified allowed version number formats +.IP \(bu 4 +Replaced 'requires', 'build_requires', 'configure_requires', +\&'recommends' and 'conflicts' with new 'prereqs' data structure divided +by \fIphase\fR (configure, build, test, runtime, etc.) and \fIrelationship\fR +(requires, recommends, suggests, conflicts) +.IP \(bu 4 +Added support for 'develop' phase for requirements for maintaining +a list of authoring tools +.IP \(bu 4 +Changed 'license' to a list and revised the set of valid licenses +.IP \(bu 4 +Made 'dynamic_config' mandatory to reduce confusion +.IP \(bu 4 +Changed 'resources' subkey 'repository' to a hash that clarifies +repository type, url for browsing and url for checkout +.IP \(bu 4 +Changed 'resources' subkey 'bugtracker' to a hash for either web +or mailto resource +.IP \(bu 4 +Changed specification of 'optional_features': +.RS 4 +.IP \(bu 4 +Added formal specification and usage guide instead of just example +.IP \(bu 4 +Changed to use new prereqs data structure instead of individual keys +.RE +.RS 4 +.RE +.IP \(bu 4 +Clarified intended use of 'author' as generalized contact list +.IP \(bu 4 +Added 'release_status' field to indicate stable, testing or unstable +status to provide hints to indexers +.IP \(bu 4 +Added 'description' field for a longer description of the distribution +.IP \(bu 4 +Formalized use of "x_" or "X_" for all custom keys not listed in the +official spec +.SS "Version 1.4" +.IX Subsection "Version 1.4" +June 2008 +.IP \(bu 4 +Noted explicit support for 'perl' in prerequisites +.IP \(bu 4 +Added 'configure_requires' prerequisite type +.IP \(bu 4 +Changed 'optional_features' +.RS 4 +.IP \(bu 4 +Example corrected to show map of maps instead of list of maps +(though descriptive text said 'map' even in v1.3) +.IP \(bu 4 +Removed 'requires_packages', 'requires_os' and 'excluded_os' +as valid subkeys +.RE +.RS 4 +.RE +.SS "Version 1.3" +.IX Subsection "Version 1.3" +November 2006 +.IP \(bu 4 +Added 'no_index' subkey 'directory' and removed 'dir' to match actual +usage in the wild +.IP \(bu 4 +Added a 'repository' subkey to 'resources' +.SS "Version 1.2" +.IX Subsection "Version 1.2" +August 2005 +.IP \(bu 4 +Re-wrote and restructured spec in POD syntax +.IP \(bu 4 +Changed 'name' to be mandatory +.IP \(bu 4 +Changed 'generated_by' to be mandatory +.IP \(bu 4 +Changed 'license' to be mandatory +.IP \(bu 4 +Added version range specifications for prerequisites +.IP \(bu 4 +Added required 'abstract' field +.IP \(bu 4 +Added required 'author' field +.IP \(bu 4 +Added required 'meta\-spec' field to define 'version' (and 'url') of the +CPAN Meta Spec used for metadata +.IP \(bu 4 +Added 'provides' field +.IP \(bu 4 +Added 'no_index' field and deprecated 'private' field.
