Revision history for Function-Parameters

1.0701  2015-12-04
        - remove old "bare" import syntax:
            use Function::Parameters 'foo', 'bar';
            # equivalent to
            # use Function::Parameters { foo => 'function', bar => 'method' };
          (marked as deprecated in 0.06, no longer documented since 1.00)

        - new explicit "lax" mode
        - fix info() with taint mode on (gh pr #12)
        - don't hide syntax errors that are followed by a parameter list with
          types (gh #15)

1.0603  2014-11-25

        - compatibility with perl development versions

1.0602  2014-10-21
        - fix warnings under perl5.21 (causes harmless test failure)

1.0601  2014-10-20
        - allow nameless parameters for arguments that should be ignored
        - fix string comparison bug (":lvaluefoobar" treated as ":lvalue", etc)
        - explicitly disallow $_/@_/%_ as parameters
        - change "Not enough" to "Too few" in error message to match perl
        - don't parse $#foo as a sigil plus comment
        - remove implicitly optional parameters ("fun foo($x = 42, $y)" used to
          be equivalent to "fun foo($x = 42, $y = undef)")

1.0503  2014-10-17
        - skip initializing parameters if the default argument is undef
          (don't generate '$x = undef if @_ < 1' for 'fun ($x = undef)')

        - fix bug that prevents building with threaded perls

1.0501  2014-10-13
        - support :prototype(...) for setting the prototype

          specifying undef)

1.0404  2014-10-13
        - fix segfault on 'fun foo(A[[' (malformed type)

1.0403  2014-10-12
        - general overhaul for 5.18 and 5.20 support
        - be more flexible about strict 'vars' error message in tests
          (#99100)

1.0402  2014-09-01
        - fix #92871: don't access dead stack frames on error

1.0401  2013-10-09
        - enable type checks by default

1.0301  2013-09-16
        - support 'defaults' to base keywords on existing keyword types
        - 'check_argument_count' no longer controls type checks
        - new 'check_argument_types' property controls type checks
        - new 'strict' property does what 'check_argument_count' used to
        - new 'runtime' property lets you define functions at runtime
        - some more tests

1.0202  2013-08-28
        - make t/foreign/Fun/name.t less fragile to support newer Carp

          (might speed up parsing a little)

1.0101  2013-02-05
        - new reflection API to inspect parameter information of functions
        - Moose types in parameter lists
        - more tests

        - fix test relying on hash ordering

1.0003  2012-11-19
        - clean up internals

        - fix module metadata

1.00    2012-11-01
        - add named parameters with ':$foo, :$bar' syntax

        - add ':strict' import target
        - support $invocant: parameter syntax

        - completely rework internals to generate optrees directly
          (no more generating/reparsing source)
        - simplify / fewer dependencies
        - new feature: default arguments (on by default)
        - new feature: strict argument count checks (off by default)
                       enabled by "*_strict" variants of symbolic types

0.06    2012-06-19
        - complete rewrite in XS
        - require perl 5.14+
        - hopefully fix bug where it would get the line numbers wrong
        - we're a lexical pragma now; remove import_into()
        - more fine-grained control over behavior of generated keywords:
           * function name can be optional/required/prohibited
           * invocant name can be any variable, not just $self
           * default attributes (and method now defaults to ':method')

        - complete rewrite
        - hopefully fix bug where it would swallow compilation errors or get the line numbers wrong

0.04    2010-03-03
        - allow renaming the function keyword
