Changes for version 0.013_01 - 2013-06-27

  • (Addition) Type::Parser now provides a `extract_type` function which parses a type constraint expression from the head of a string and returns a Type::Tiny object, plus the tail of the string. (This is designed to make it easier to use Type::Parser to parse things like function signatures.)
  • (Removal) Type::Parser functions no longer accept an arrayref of tokens, as they expect to pull tokens from a stream as required.
  • (Removal) Type::Parser no longer provides a `tokens` function as it no longer pre-emptively tokenizes the whole string it is given.
  • Type::Parser's tokenization is now done on a pull basis, allowing one-pass building of the AST.
