River stage four • 1055 direct dependents • 2805 total dependents

Changes for version 2.008000 - 2025-03-31

  • Packaging
    • Repackaged with a stable version number.

Changes for version 2.007_010 - 2025-03-23

  • Bug Fixes
    • Warnings for unknown Type::Params signature options introduced in 2.007_008 broke Mite, which passes it a `is_wrapper` option and checks no warnings are thrown in its test suite. That option is now silently allowed, even though Type::Params makes no use of it. <https://metacpan.org/dist/Mite>

Changes for version 2.007_009 - 2025-03-21

  • Bug Fixes
    • Warnings for unknown Type::Params signature options introduced in 2.007_008 broke Mite, which passes it a `mite_signature` option and checks no warnings are thrown in its test suite. That option is now silently allowed, even though Type::Params makes no use of it. <https://metacpan.org/dist/Mite>
  • Documentation
    • Fix documentation for the coercion_generator attribute of Type::Tiny.
  • Other
    • Added: Type::Params now has a per-parameter `default_on_undef` option.
    • Added: Types::Standard::ArrayRef can now export shortcuts for parameterized versions of the ArrayRef type constraint.
    • Added: Types::Standard::CycleTuple can now export shortcuts for parameterized versions of the CycleTuple type constraint.
    • Added: Types::Standard::Dict can now export shortcuts for parameterized versions of the Dict type constraint.
    • Added: Types::Standard::HashRef can now export shortcuts for parameterized versions of the HashRef type constraint.
    • Added: Types::Standard::Map can now export shortcuts for parameterized versions of the Map type constraint.
    • Added: Types::Standard::ScalarRef can now export shortcuts for parameterized versions of the ScalarRef type constraint.
    • Added: Types::Standard::StrMatch can now export shortcuts for parameterized versions of the StrMatch type constraint.
    • Added: Types::Standard::Tuple can now export shortcuts for parameterized versions of the Tuple type constraint.
    • Added: When creating 'multi' signatures with Type::Params, the different alternatives can now be given a string identifier.

Changes for version 2.007_008 - 2025-03-20

  • Bug Fixes
    • Expressing return types for Type::Params as strings now works as documented.
  • Documentation
    • Use Perl's new `try` feature instead of Try::Tiny in SYNOPSIS for Error::TypeTiny.
  • Test Suite
    • Improved tests for the `ArgsObject` type constraint which is optionally exported by Type::Params.
    • Improved tests for the `goto_next` feature of Type::Params.
  • Other
    • Added: Error::TypeTiny::WrongNumberOfParameters now has a `target` attribute indicating what thing you provided the wrong number of parameters for.
    • Added: There's now a Type::Tiny::check_parameter_count_for_parameterized_type utility function intended to be used for parameterizable types to throw an error when parameterized with the wrong number of parameters.
    • Parameterizable types defined by Types::Standard, Types::Common::String, Types::Common::Numeric, and Type::Params will throw an Error::TypeTiny::WrongNumberOfParameters exception if parameterized with the wrong number of parameters.
    • Passing unknown options to Type::Params functions will now result in warnings.

Changes for version 2.007_007 - 2025-03-18

  • Bug Fixes
    • Localize $@ before stringifying Error::TypeTiny objects. Karen Etheridge++

Changes for version 2.007_006 - 2025-03-14

  • Added: Types::Standard::Dict::combine() function. Branislav Zahradník++
  • Type::Params named_to_list option now accepts blessed boolean objects. Certain other options should be more permissive accepting them too. XSven++
  • Types::TypeTiny::BoolLike now accepts boolean.pm's bools. Benct Philip Jonsson++

Changes for version 2.007_005 - 2025-03-07

  • Documentation
    • Minor fixes and improvements for `Type::Params` documentation.

Changes for version 2.007_004 - 2025-03-07

  • Bug Fixes
    • Avoid the `//` operator in `Type::Params::Parameter` as it isn't supported in Perl 5.8. Fixes bug introduced in 2.007_003.
    • Use `List::Util::sum` instead of `List::Util::sum0` which doesn't exist in some older versions of List::Util. Fixes bug introduced in 2.007_003.
  • Documentation
    • Major rewrite of `Type::Params` documentation to prioritize `signature_for` and modern Perl, and some corresponding adjustments to `Type::Tiny::Manual`.
  • Other
    • The `goto_next` option in `Type::Params` is now just called `next`. The original name is still supported for backwards compatibility.

Changes for version 2.007_003 - 2025-03-06

  • Documentation
    • Minor pod fixed and improvements.
    • Update copyright dates to 2025.
  • Other
    • Added: New Type::Params feature allow_dash automatically supports `-foo` as an alias for `foo`.
    • Added: New Type::Params feature list_to_named automatically extracts named parameters from a list of positional arguments.
    • Added: Type::Params optionally exports two shortcut keywords: `signature_for_func` and `signature_for_method`. The exact behaviour of these may change in the future.

Changes for version 2.007_002 - 2024-12-23

  • Documentation
    • Update most examples to use features (postfix derefs, sub signatures) from more modern versions of Perl that allow for cleaner, tidier code.

Changes for version 2.007_001 - 2024-11-24

  • Bug Fixes
    • If Perl has been built with -Dusequadmath then cowardly refuse to use Type::Tiny::XS's implementation of is_Int. Andreas J König++

Changes for version 2.007_000 - 2024-10-20

  • Added: The `signature_for` function in Type::Params now includes most of the functionality of Return::Type (a separate CPAN distribution not bundled with Type::Tiny).
  • Added: The `signature_for` function in Type::Params now returns a value, though in most contexts you'll probably want to call it in void context anyway.
