0.018	2013-11-18

 - Allow non-Type::Tiny type constraints to be returned by type constraint
   expressions, provided they can be converted to Type::Tiny objects via
   Types::TypeTiny::to_TypeTiny.

0.017	2013-11-18

 - Extensibility via parameter traits.
 - Rename Kavorka::Signature::Parameter -> Kavorka::Parameter.
 - Rename Kavorka::Signature::ReturnType -> Kavorka::ReturnType.

0.016	2013-11-07

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - Bypass the Internals::SvREADONLY prototype because handling of the ($;$)
   prototype changed in 5.16.0 and we were relying on the new behaviour.

0.015	2013-11-07

 [ BACK COMPAT ]
 - Change the syntax of lexical functions and methods to include the `my`
   keyword in their declaration.

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - $sub->signature now returns undef if no signature was given in the
   declaration.
 - Most of the closure issues associated with Parse::Keyword are now worked
   around.

 [ Documentation ]
 - Document that fun ($x, $y=$x) {...} doesn't work how you might expect it
   to, and some work-arounds.

 [ Test Suite ]
 - Tidy up some of the closure tests.

 [ Other ]
 - Checking if @_ < 0 is silly; stop doing that.

0.014	2013-11-05	Gunpowder, treason and plot

 - Added: Lexical functions and methods.
 - Added: Return types, optionally with coercion.
 - Updated: Work with (and indeed require Type::Tiny 0.032).

0.013	2013-10-27

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - Compiled dispatchers introduced in Kavorka 0.012 are essentially a form
   of cache. No cache invalidation was in place, leading to issues when
   adding extra same-named multi method candidates to parent classes after
   a multi method had already been invoked in a child class. Cache
   invalidation now works.

 [ Test Suite ]
 - Test for cache invalidation of compiled multi sub dispatchers.
 - Test that definition of multi subs happens at runtime, and definition
   can continue even after the multi sub has been invoked.

0.012	2013-10-26

 [ Documentation ]
 - Various documentation improvements.

 [ Other ]
 - Optimization: avoid double type checks in multi subs.
 - Optimization: compile dispatchers for multi subs on demand.

0.011	2013-10-25

 [ Documentation ]
 - Split up documentation into a manual with bite-sized chunks.

 [ Other ]
 - Allow multiple method names to be modified with a single method
   modifier.
 - Rename ${^NEXT} variable to $next for `around` method modifiers.
 - Support Perl 5.20 style :prototype(...) attribute.

0.010	2013-10-23

 - Allow package variables such as $Foo::Bar in signatures.
 - General refactoring of variable name parsing.
 - Support 'my' and 'our' prefixes to variable names in signatures.

0.006	2013-10-15

 [ Documentation ]
 - Document interplay between multi subs and multiple inheritance.

 [ Test Suite ]
