Changes for version 0.18

  • Sungo added CALLER_FILE and CALLER_LINE to the argument list for state calls.
  • Freeside suggested that POE::Kernel's break-even point between linear and binary searching be raised to 512 or 1024. After some benchmarking, Rocco raised it to 512.
  • Rocco fixed the return value for POE::Kernel's alarm_remove_all() call, while researching its behavior for poed.
  • Rocco added sungo's $VERSION code to each file. Now all the sub-modules will appear with versions in various indexes.
  • Ignatz and Zenham reported a nasty looking message when testing POE without Curses. It's technically a "skip" message, but it includes an error message (trapped with eval) and so looks like an error. Rocco made this class of skip message much friendlier.
  • Rocco applied Jason May's patch to fix TRACE_RETURNS (they had a space instead of an underscore) in POE::Kernel. Why didn't strict catch that?
  • Rocco added a little more alarms documentation. Jason May reported that it wasn't clear where alarms were set and how they would be removed.
  • Rocco fixed a misattribution in the CHANGES file. Sorry, Jonathan.
  • Rocco added a meta() call to POE::Wheel::Curses so international characters may also be entered.
  • Rocco added a note to POE.pm's POD that the cookbook is slowly taking over for the samples.
