Changes for version v0.19.045 - 2019-02-14

  • Datify:
    • Lots of changes to the internals:
      • Changed how add_handler() and _find_handler() work, by subtracting some magic, or adding it, respectively.
      • Changed calls to ref() to Scalar::Util::blessed() or Scalar::Util::reftype(), as appropriate.
      • Update new(), get(), and set() to operate on local parameters before global ones.
      • Converted several "if ... elsif ... else ..." blocks to the equivalent trinary "? ... : ... ? : ..." statements.
      • Methods should now localize $_, or operate on the global $_ if no parameters are passed in.
      • Improved the caching.
      • Improved how codeify() works, by referring to a named subroutine, if that can be determined.
    • numify() returns the string for undef, if that's what is passed in, rather than the undef value.
    • listify() no longer makes assumptions if passed a single ARRAY or HASH.
    • Added is_keyword() method.
    • Added more tests.
    • Updated the documentation.
    • Updated tests from Test::More to Test2::V0.
