+=head1 NAME
+
+CPAN::Meta::History - history of CPAN Meta Spec changes
+
+=head1 VERSION
+
+version 2.150005
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The CPAN Meta Spec has gone through several iterations. 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.
+
+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.
+
+Starting with version 2, the specification document is part of the
+CPAN-Meta distribution and will be published on CPAN as
+L<CPAN::Meta::Spec>.
+
+Going forward, specification version numbers will be integers and
+decimal portions will correspond to a release date for the CPAN::Meta
+library.
