( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I have been thinking about such things myself for post-1.000000 Type::Tiny. My planned approach is this:

  • Once 1.000000 is released, further 1.000xxx versions will be bugfixes with no new features.

  • While the 1.000xxx are being maintained as the main stable branch, I'll also be releasing 1.001_xxx versions with new features.

    Because of the underscore in the 1.001_xxx version numbers, PAUSE won't index them. They are developer releases only.

  • Once 1.001_xxx has become stable, it will be released as 1.002000.

    Once 1.002000 is released, further 1.002xxx versions will be bugfixes with no new features.

    The 1.000xxx versions will still be on CPAN if anybody needs them. If any major bugs (e.g. security issues) come to light should be possible to upload a new 1.000xxx release, but it won't be indexed because there's already a newer version on CPAN.

  • While the 1.002xxx are being maintained as the main stable branch, I'll also be releasing 1.003_xxx versions with new features.

  • ... etc...

A wiki page can exist, with links to download tarballs of the latest releases in the 1.000xxx, 1.002xxx, etc branches.

use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
