Changes for version 0.052 - 2017-09-07

  • RT 122715: Clarify Node->find_parents() documentation. Thanks to Salvatore Bonaccorso for letting me know about this problem..
  • Further deprecate tokenizer method prior() in favor of prior_significant_token().
  • Add requirements_for_perl(). This is analogous to the CPAN::Meta::Requirements method requirements_for_module(), though the output is formatted differently. Also put in the actual requirements for an un-escaped literal left curly after a constant, which was removed in 5.25.1 and reinstated in 5.27.1.
  • Add accepts_perl(). This is analogous to CPAN::Meta::Requirements->accepts_module(). I decided that CPAN::Meta;:Requirements was overkill, but this may turn out to be the wrong decision, so I will be careful what I expose.
  • Document behavior of perl_version_introduced() and perl_version_removed() when a feature is re-introduced after removal, or re-removed after re-introduction.
  • \N{} (empty curlys) removed in 5.27.1.
