"Changes appears to be empty" ... not.

[kentfredric]

Here's a reduced set of a Changes file I think should parse, but completely doesn't, and the error is not exactly enlightening.

0.048
- Asdf

mbtiny dist
# Changes appears to be empty

[kentfredric]

According to the logic, it seems to be parsing the structure as

0.048    # BLOCK START
- Asdf    # BLOCK STOP

where it shouldn't be caring that - Asdf is not indented (\S)

Instead, it should be continuing until the next line that starts with a version group, so ^\d

The logic is stolen straight out of dzil's CheckChangesHasContent, the same change should probably be done there.

CPAN::Changes matches against $version::LAX, which may actually be quite sensible too.
