Changes for version 1.10 - 2026-11-15
- Prevent automatic retries of unsafe HTTP methods introduced by before_request hooks, unless the method is explicitly allowed by the retry policy.
- Normalize conflicting case-insensitive response headers conservatively so ambiguous rate-limit metadata cannot trigger an unintended HTTP 403 retry.
- Ignore Retry-After HTTP-dates whose weekday disagrees with the calendar date, preserving rate-limit reset and exponential-backoff fallbacks.
- Preserve pagination state when a page's continuation metadata is invalid, allowing subsequent calls to refetch that page instead of exposing unvalidated items.
- Detect pagination continuations back to the initial URL or cursor before an unnecessary repeat request.
- Validate API-key authentication placement before string coercion, including overloaded references.
- Reject odd named-option lists in Response and RateLimit APIs without Perl hash warnings; retain valid behavior through regression tests.
- Check module versions against dated Changes entries and require packaged make disttest in the release workflow before publication.
