Changes for version 2.3.0_03 - 2010-07-28
- Incompatible Changes (only with this alpha series)
- Signature->num_params is now Signature->num_positional_params because we'll add named params eventually and you generally only care about how many positional params a function takes. (Schwern)
- Remove ngrep, nmap and nfor. Replaced by @array->foreach( def($x,$y) ) {} and @array->map( def($x) {} );
- def has been removed. Consensus is emerging for func.
- New Features
- Added child() to make forking easier. [github 150] (Chad)
- @array->foreach now takes a function with variable arguments and DWIM
- $number->is_even and is_odd [github 143] (Eric A. Zarko)
- Bug Fixes
- Anonymous functions were getting a new signature each time they're declared even though its the same code reference. (Schwern)
Changes for version 2.3.0_02 - 2010-07-15
- New Features
- Signature introspection, via $code->signature, for subroutines defined with C<def>, C<func> and C<method>.
- Documentation
- Anonymous methods and functions (they always worked)
Changes for version 2.3.0_01 - 2010-07-12
- New Features
- ngrep and nmap are like grep and map but you can name the $_ variable. (Chad) [github 36]
- nfor is like for but you can specify it to loop over any number of elements at a time. (Chad) [github 40]
- "method" declares a method and does the "my $self = shift" for you. (Schwern) [github 19]
- "def" and "func" provide basic subroutine signatures. (Schwern)
- The error message upon not being able to load a module has been improved for human readability. (Chad) [github 99]
- Test Fixes
- Clean up dangling temp files. (Avar) [github 139]
