Changes for version 0.58 - 2018-11-20

  • Add unstick method to FFI::Platypus::Closure

Changes for version 0.57_01 - 2018-11-04

  • Major refactor of the internals of the type system. The API is the same but some type meta-data (which was never guaranteed to stay the same) may have changed.
    • The internal representation of types is much smaller (4 bytes for simple types), which can save a lot of memory if you have lots of types.
    • Fixed width strings example: `string(32)` are now internally treated the same as a record with no class `record(32)`. Previously these were separate types but worked identically, this removes duplicate code.
    • Fixed width string arguments to a closure are now read-only, Usually you should be copying these arguments anyway.
    • Removed the internal type "exotic float" which includes `long double`, `complex float` and `complex double`. These are now grouped internally with other scalar types.
  • Merge FFI::Platypus::Type::StringArray into this distribution
