- Updating package for p5 module Params::Util from 0.38 to 1.00
Upstream changes:
1.00 Sun 31 May 2009
- Now all known XS bugs are worked out, I've removed
the experimental flags and set that as the first 1+ release.
- Fixed XS implementation of _*LIKE and _INSTANCE
- Added test for a negative custom isa returning ('')
- Improving the 'clean' file list in a Makefile.PL
0.38 Tue 17 Feb 2009
- Fix _IDENTIFIER to return false for "foo\n" (ZEFRAM)
- Fix _CLASS to return false for "foo\n" (ZEFRAM)
0.37 Wed 4 Feb 2009
- Fix _HASH for bleadperl (patch from RAFL)
- Fix regex (more) for bleadperl (patch from RAFL)
0.36 Fri 30 Jan 2009

- Adding the tests for _REGEX
- Reorganising the Makefile.PL
- Adding duplicate tests for when the XS version isn't compiled
Upstream changes:
0.35 Tue 11 Nov 2008
- No changes
- CPAN Testers results look good, moving to production version
0.34_01 Mon 3 Nov 2008
- Adding experimental XS implementation by the awesome Jens Renhack
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.8.8 -> 5.10.0.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").
0.33 Tue 27 May 2008
- Upgrading to Module::Install 0.74
- Bumping Scalar::Util version to 1.18 to get a fixed better
looks_like_number
- Moved B driver test class to My_B to prevent collision with the
B modules
0.32_01 Sat 23 Feb 2008
- Moving 01_compile.t minimum version to 5.005 to match Makefile.PL
(Resolves rt.cpan.org #26674)
- Removing the deprecated _CALLABLE function
0.31 Wed 14 Nov 2007
- Upgrading to Module::Install 0.68
0.30 Mon 22 Oct 2007
- Incremental release to get a newer and non-broken version of the
author-only tests.
0.29 Thu 23 Aug 2007
- Correcting a test which only ran under AUTOMATED_TESTING,
apparently my release automation isn't doing what I think
it is doing.
0.28 Sat 18 Aug 2007
- Dropping the Perl version requirement in 01_compile.t to 5.004
0.27 Sat 18 Aug 2007
- Skipping one particularly evil test that we know fails on a few OS
unless AUTOMATED_TESTING is enabled.
These failures weren't worth preventing installation at all.
0.26 Fri 27 Jul 2007
- Adding the _NONNEGINT function
0.25 Mon 14 May 2007
- Adding the _CLASSISA and _SUBCLASS functions to fill
a gap between _CLASS and _DRIVER
0.24 Wed 9 May 2007
- Adding the _DRIVER function for use in writing driver APIs
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.

- Fixed broken link to RT in POD
0.08 Mon Dec 19 2005
- Moved from old CVS repository to newer SVN repository
- Added _CALLABLE (provided by Ricardo Signes)
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.
