Bug Fixes
* Relaxed strictures on prerequisite versions. Invalid versions now
issue a warning and are set to 0 rather than dying. [github #7]

MYMETA.yml if your module's version number was 1.4. [github #9]
* Convert LICENSE entries which are unknown to CPAN::Meta to
"unknown" rather than dying. [github #10]
