Changes for version 2.0.0 - 2010-03-16
- Incompatible Changes
- In general, methods which return a list return an array in list context and an array ref in scalar context. This enables chaining of autoboxed methods.
- $module->load() is now $module->require() with simpler semantics. [github 107] [schwern]
- Indirect object syntax (ie. $obj = new Class) is now a compile time syntax error.
- $thing->mo now always returns a meta instance object. This allows the meta object to DWIM on plain strings which previously would be treated as classes and return the meta class object.
- The guaranteed range of gm/localtime() has been reduced to avoid depending on Time::y2038 if possible.
- $thing->perl is now $thing->mo->perl and works on everything.
- New Features
- $thing->mo->is_equal($other) universal equality method. [brunov]
- $thing->mc has been added to always return a meta class object. This allows disambiguation when $thing could be considered a class name.
- new autoboxed methods: %hash->diff() and %hash->intersect() [brunov]
- Added $thing->mo->dump to dump objects in multiple formats including YAML and JSON.
- Fixes
- Update dep on autovivification to one that works on 5.11 [schwern]
- Update autobox::Core dep to clarify scalar vs list context returns.
- Fix taint test failing with Test::More 0.95_01. [schwern]
- Fix time compat test failing because of unknown time zones. [schwern]
- Time::y2038 is only required if the built in time functions are not up to task. [schwern]
- Optimizations
- Optimize @array->intersect() and @array->diff() when @array contains no refs.
