Changes for version v1.2.0 - 2014-07-28

  • New Functionality
    • Scalars: added is_string, is_bool, alias from Data::Alias, const from Const::Fast.
    • Numbers: added floor, ceil.
    • Miscellaneous Functions: added File() and Dir() as Path::Class bindings
  • Changed Functionality
    • The is_* validation functions handle undef input without warnings now.
    • References: ref-refs are now handled correctly: "_::is_scalar_ref \\1" is true, and "_::ref_type \\1" is "REF".
  • Other Changes
    • Tightened dependencies to decrease chance of test failures.
    • Added a "_.pm" file to reduce clashes. I apologize for polluting your file system with such a weird file.
    • Removed documentation for _::package which never existed.
    • Rewrote parts of the docs in a more formal fashion.
    • Split the docs by topic into separate files.
