0.25 Mon 14 May 2007

0.24 Wed 9 May 2007

Changes since last packaged version (0.07):
0.23 Tue 20 Feb 2007
- Bug fix to _INVOCANT to handle false classes.
0.22 Wed 1 Nov 2006
- Bug fix to _CODELIKE to handle CODE refs properly
- Updating tests to work more accurately in this regard.
0.21 Tue 10 Oct 2006
- When no compiler available, minimise the dependency on Scalar::Util,
because it's better to leave them with a slightly leaky version
than to fail altogether.
0.20 Tue 26 Sep 2006
- Advanced deprecation of _CALLABLE to "warn but work".
- Correctly refer to _CALLABLE being deprecated, not _CODELIKE.
- Add support for Tie::Handle objects to _HANDLE
- Add support for IO::Scalar objects to _HANDLE
- Add support for IO::String objects to _HANDLE
0.19 Thu 14 Sep 2006
- Adding more Scalar::Util tests, this time with some diagnostics
0.18 Thu 14 Sep 2006
- Explicitly importing refaddr in t/07_handle.t to fix
test failure on ActivePerl 5.8.0.
- Increased Scalar::Util dep to 1.14 because we may well
be hurt by tied handles-related bug.
0.17 Tue 8 Aug 2006
- Adding experimental _HANDLE implementation
0.16 Sun 2 Jul 2006
- We don't check for stash definedness for _INVOCANT.
(This is required for 5.005 compat.)
0.15 Sun 2 Jul 2006
# This release contains only build-time changes
- Updating to Module::Install 0.63 to add 5.004 support (sorta)
- Dropping version dependency to 5.004 (Ricardo Signes)
0.14 Wed 10 May 2006
- No features() used in this dist, so removing auto_install
- Moved _CALLABLE to _CODELIKE for symmetry reasons. Sorry :(
Immediate doc changover. Silent alias for a month, then
warning alias for 3 months, then full deprecation at the end
of August.
- Removed RJBS's use warnings that broke 5.005-compatibility.
- Other minor test cleanups.

developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
"Params::Util" provides a basic set of importable functions that
makes checking parameters a hell of a lot easier.
The functions provided by "Params::Util" check in the most strictly
correct manner, and in should not be fooled by odd cases.
