NAME
    CPAN::Changes::Group::Dependencies::Stats - Create a Dependencies::Stats
    section detailing summarized differences

VERSION
    version 0.002000

SYNOPSIS
      use CPAN::Changes::Release 0.29;
      use CPAN::Changes::Group::Dependencies::Stats;

      my $s = CPAN::Changes::Group::Dependencies::Stats->new(
        prelude     => [ 'Change statistics since 1.00' ],
        new_prereqs => CPAN::Meta->load_file('Dist-Foo-1.01/META.json')->effective_prereqs,
        old_prereqs => CPAN::Meta->load_file('Dist-Foo-1.00/META.json')->effective_prereqs,
      );

      # Currently slightly complicated due to groups themselves
      # not presently being pluggable.
      my $rel = CPAN::Changes::Release->new( version => '1.01' );
      $rel->attach( $s ) if $s->has_changes;
      $rel->serialize();

      # RESULT
      #
      # [Dependencies::Stats]
      # - Change statistics since 1.00
      # - build: -1 (recommends: -1)
      # - configure: +1 -1 (recommends: +1 -1)
      # - develop: +5 -5 (suggests: +2 -1)
      # - test: (recommends: +1 ↑1)

METHODS
  "has_changes"
    Returns whether this group has any interesting changes or not.

      if ( $group->has_changes ) {
        $release->attach_group( $group );
      } else {
        $release->delete_group( $group->name );
      }

  "changes"
    Returns a list of change entries.

      my $changes = $object->changes;
      say $_ for @{$changes};

    Format:

      %phase: %requiredstats (%optlabel: %optstats, ...)

    %phase is one of "configure", "build", "runtime", "develop", "test"

    %optlabel is one of "recommends", "suggests"

    %requiredstats and %optstats are strings of stat changes:

      %symbol%number %symbol%number ...

    %symbol is:

      +   a dependency previously unseen in this phase/rel was added.
      ↑   a dependency in this phase/rel had its version requirement increased.
      ↓   a dependency in this phase/rel had its version requirement decreased.
      -   this phase/rel had a dependency removed
      ~   a dependency type where either side was a complex version requirement changed in some way.

    For instance, this diff
    <https://metacpan.org/diff/file?target=ETHER/Moose-2.1210/META.json&sour
    ce=ETHER/Moose-2.1005/META.json> would display as:

      [Dependencies::Stats]
      - configure: +2
      - develop: +12 ↑3 -2 (suggests: +58)
      - runtime: +3
      - test: +1 ↓1 -1 (recommends: +2)

    Which is far less scary ☺
