version 0.011; 2010-08-21
*
bugfix: add a typemap entry for "const char *", to make XS version
of scalar_class() work correctly on Perl 5.6, having been broken by
the const fix in version 0.010
*
in XS code, on Perls where it exists (prior to 5.9.5), treat SVt_PVBM
as a scalar referent type
version 0.010; 2010-08-20
*
in XS, use PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT for efficiency
*
use full stricture in test suite
*
also test POD coverage of pure Perl implementation
*
in test suite, make all numeric comparisons against $] stringify it
first, to avoid architecture-dependent problems with floating point
rounding giving it an unexpected numeric value
*
make XS code const clean for gcc -Wwrite-strings
*
in Build.PL, explicitly set needs_compiler to avoid bogus
auto-dependency on ExtUtils::CBuilder
*
in Build.PL, explicitly declare configure-time requirements
*
add MYMETA.yml to .cvsignore
version 0.009; 2009-10-07
*
port to Perl 5.11.0, supporting the addition of first-class regexp
objects (which are actually a type of scalar) and the removal of
the distinct RV type; new functions is_regexp() and check_regexp()
*
fix a test skip count in t/ref.t, which was causing false test
failures on Perl 5.6
*
check for required Perl version at runtime
version 0.008; 2009-09-10
*
add "check_" functions for argument checking
*
strict argument checking in all functions that take control arguments
*
revise documentation
*
revise pure Perl code to avoid unnecessary argument copying
*
in XS code, make all auxiliary functions "static"
*
revise POD markup
*
remove bogus "exit 0" from Build.PL
version 0.007; 2009-05-13
*
XS implementation, used if available with fallback to existing pure
Perl implementation if XS is not available
*
use simpler "parent" pragma in place of "base"
*
in documentation, use the term "truth value" instead of the less
precise "boolean"
*
use full stricture in Build.PL
version 0.006; 2009-02-15
*
withdraw is_pure_string() and is_pure_number() functions, because
they've never worked right and bring in a big dependency for marginal
utility
*
use "base" pragma to import Exporter behaviour
*
test POD syntax and coverage
*
build with Module::Build instead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker
*
complete dependency list
*
include signature in distribution
*
in documentation, separate "license" section from "copyright" section
version 0.005; 2007-09-02
*
in t/purity.t, modify purity test on dualvar(0, "0") to operate
appropriately on older Perls where this has a different numeric
value from 0
*
in t/purity.t, fix a skip count for the case where dualvar() is
not available
version 0.004; 2007-08-16
*
in t/purity.t, fix a skip count for the case where floating point
zero is unsigned
version 0.003; 2007-08-15
*
in t/purity.t, modify purity test on dualvar(+0.0, "0") to operate
appropriately on older Perls where "0" numifies to a floating
point zero, and add a test for dualvar(0, "0")
version 0.002; 2007-01-25
*
add is_pure_string() and is_pure_number() functions that determine
how complicated a string scalar is
*
in documentation for is_number(), reference Scalar::Number and
Data::Integer
*
correct version requirement of Scalar::Util in module, making it
consistent with the dependency listed in Makefile.PL
version 0.001; 2006-08-03
*
bugfix: in is_number(), check whether numeric conversion warns, rather
than using looks_like_number(), to avoid being confused by dualvars
*
in t/ref.t, skip *foo{FORMAT} tests on older Perls that don't provide
that facility
*
refer to Data::Float for classification of floating point values
*
versioned dependencies in .pm
*
declare module dependencies in Makefile.PL
*
correct .cvsignore (had copy&modify detritus)
*
include Changes file
version 0.000; 2004-03-20
*
initial released version
