The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 0.53

  • Improvements
    • Measure time elapsed in get, set, and compute; record in logs and stats. Only measure when debug logging or stats are enabled.
    • compute() now handles list or scalar caller context
    • The driver parameter now accepts full classes prefixed by '+', as is standard. driver_class is still accepted for backward compatibility but no longer documented.
  • Fixes
    • compute() no longer modifies passed-in options hashref
    • Fix get_multi_* with partially empty l1 cache - perl-chi/pull/12 (Mike Cartmell)
    • Fix get_keys when file_extension set on CHI::Driver::File (Vitaliy Tokarev)
    • Have set_multi call store_multi underneath as documented in Development.pod - RT #76621 (Oliver Paukstadt)
    • Minor POD fixes (Alessandro Ghedini)
