1 Revision history for Function-Parameters
4 - prepare for internals changes in the upcoming 5.18 release
5 (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83439)
6 - only allocate memory after recognizing a keyword like 'fun'
7 (might speed up parsing a little)
10 - new reflection API to inspect parameter information of functions
11 - Moose types in parameter lists
15 - fix test relying on hash ordering
19 - fix build errors on some platforms
24 - add named parameters with ':$foo, :$bar' syntax
25 - rewrite documentation
26 - more tests (some of them copied from similar modules on CPAN)
29 - add ':strict' import target
30 - support $invocant: parameter syntax
33 - fix wrong line number for statement immediately following a function
36 - support UTF-8 in function/parameter names
37 - better detection of invalid prototypes
40 - completely rework internals to generate optrees directly

42 - simplify / fewer dependencies
43 - new feature: default arguments (on by default)
44 - new feature: strict argument count checks (off by default)
45 enabled by "*_strict" variants of symbolic types
48 - complete rewrite in XS
50 - hopefully fix bug where it would get the line numbers wrong
51 - we're a lexical pragma now; remove import_into()
52 - more fine-grained control over behavior of generated keywords:
53 * function name can be optional/required/prohibited
54 * invocant name can be any variable, not just $self
55 * default attributes (and method now defaults to ':method')
59 - hopefully fix bug where it would swallow compilation errors or get the line numbers wrong
61 - more flexible keyword customization
64 - allow renaming the function keyword
65 - provide import_into so you can mess with other packages
68 First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
