This is the only way previous versions did it. Defaults to no, and \[ Anne Author \] is appended to the commit message. Defaults to off. ## show\_author\_email Author email is probably just noise for most people, but turn this on if you want to show it \[ Anne Author \] Defaults to off. ## show\_author Whether to show authors at all. Turning this off also turns off grouping by author and author emails. Defaults to on. ## `tag_regexp` A regexp string which will be used to match git tags to find releases. If your release tags are not compliant with [CPAN::Changes::Spec](https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Changes::Spec), you can use a capture group. It will be used as the version in place of the full tag name. Also takes `semantic`, which becomes `qr{^v?(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)$}`, and `decimal`, which becomes `qr{^v?(\d+\.\d+)$}`. Defaults to 'decimal' ## `file_name` The name of the changelog file. Defaults to 'Changes'. ## `preamble` Block of text at the beginning of the changelog. Defaults to 'Changelog for $dist\_name' ## `copy_to_root` When true, the generated changelog will be copied into the root folder where it can be committed (possiby automatically by [Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::Commit](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::Commit)) Defaults to true. ## `edit_changelog` When true, the generated changelog will be opened in an editor to allow manual editing.
