Upstream changes:
0.29 2014/07/17 12:18:12
[CHANGES]
* Added Test::Future
* Stronger deprecations - repeat {} on failures warns every time,
->and_then / ->or_else warn once
[BUGFIXES]
* Define the behaviour of dependent futures when components are
cancelled. (Partially fixes RT96685)
* Use Module::Build->prompt (RT96409)
* Ensure that repeat on an empty foreach list or empty generator
without 'otherwise' behaves correctly, just yield an immediate
0.28 2014/06/08 22:43:40
[CHANGES]
* Added ->label
* Added ->btime, rtime, elapsed tracing timers
* Better handling of 'breaks' version detection
0.27 2014/06/06 17:42:27
[BUGFIXES]
* Depend on Carp 1.25 for the new message format with trailing
period, so tests work
0.26 2014/06/01 12:52:53
[CHANGES]
* Added ->is_failed accessor
* Implement ->export_to_level in Future::Utils
* Print a warning about lost sequence Futures
* Allow Future->done and Future->fail as simple class constructors
to return immediates
* Added Future->unwrap
[BUGFIXES]
* Ensure that sequence futures are weaken()ed in the forward
direction.
**NOTE** This will potentially break existing code that depended on
strong references. This old code was, however, broken.
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
version 0.25 into devel/p5-Future
A "Future" object represents an operation that is currently in progress, or
has recently completed. It can be used in a variety of ways to manage the
flow of control, and data, through an asynchronous program.
