  • API changes: autobox with one or more args leaves the unspecified types unboxed multiple autobox (or autobox subclass) invocations in the same lexical scope are merged (thanks Matsuno Tokuhiro) multiple bindings for each type can be supplied as an ARRAY ref of classes or namespaces "no autobox qw(...)" disables/resets bindings for the specified type(s)
  • fixed incorrect bareword handling
  • perl 5.10 compatibility fixes (thanks Andreas Koenig)
  • document previously undocumented features
  • document subclassing
  • merge.t: test merging
  • beef up the default DEBUG handler so that it shows the superclasses of the synthetic classes
