2.008004	2025-10-17

 [ Documentation ]
 - Type::Tiny pod syntax fix.

 [ Other ]
 - Added: Type::Tiny::Duck (used by HasMethods) now includes a
   new_intersection constructor.

2.008003	2025-09-02

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - Make sure methods fake-inherited from Moose (if it's loaded) are a last
   resort.
   Robert Moore++

 [ Other ]
 - Slightly streamlined `Type::Tiny::can` and `Type::Tiny::AUTOLOAD`.
 - When dumping structures via Data::Dumper (mostly in error messages)
   suppress any warnings Data::Dumper would emit.
   Diab Jerius++

2.008002	2025-04-30

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - MooseX-Types 0.51 broke Type::Tiny's ability to reliably detect if Moose
   types were being used. This release fixes that.
   Graham Knop++

2.008001	2025-04-15

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - The Optional type constraint on its own, will now be treated the same as
   Optional[Any]. Previously when used for named parameters, it would fail
   to generate predicate methods.

2.008000	2025-03-31

 [ Packaging ]
 - Repackaged with a stable version number.

2.007_010	2025-03-23

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - Warnings for unknown Type::Params signature options introduced in
   2.007_008 broke Mite, which passes it a `is_wrapper` option and checks
   no warnings are thrown in its test suite. That option is now silently
   allowed, even though Type::Params makes no use of it.
   <https://metacpan.org/dist/Mite>

2.007_009	2025-03-21

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - Warnings for unknown Type::Params signature options introduced in
   2.007_008 broke Mite, which passes it a `mite_signature` option and
   checks no warnings are thrown in its test suite. That option is now
   silently allowed, even though Type::Params makes no use of it.
   <https://metacpan.org/dist/Mite>

 [ Documentation ]
 - Fix documentation for the coercion_generator attribute of Type::Tiny.

 [ Other ]
 - Added: Type::Params now has a per-parameter `default_on_undef` option.
 - Added: Types::Standard::ArrayRef can now export shortcuts for
   parameterized versions of the ArrayRef type constraint.
 - Added: Types::Standard::CycleTuple can now export shortcuts for
   parameterized versions of the CycleTuple type constraint.
 - Added: Types::Standard::Dict can now export shortcuts for parameterized
   versions of the Dict type constraint.
 - Added: Types::Standard::HashRef can now export shortcuts for
   parameterized versions of the HashRef type constraint.
 - Added: Types::Standard::Map can now export shortcuts for parameterized
   versions of the Map type constraint.
 - Added: Types::Standard::ScalarRef can now export shortcuts for
   parameterized versions of the ScalarRef type constraint.
 - Added: Types::Standard::StrMatch can now export shortcuts for
   parameterized versions of the StrMatch type constraint.
 - Added: Types::Standard::Tuple can now export shortcuts for parameterized
   versions of the Tuple type constraint.
 - Added: When creating 'multi' signatures with Type::Params, the different
   alternatives can now be given a string identifier.

2.007_008	2025-03-20

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - Expressing return types for Type::Params as strings now works as
   documented.

 [ Documentation ]
 - Use Perl's new `try` feature instead of Try::Tiny in SYNOPSIS for
   Error::TypeTiny.

 [ Test Suite ]
 - Improved tests for the `ArgsObject` type constraint which is optionally
   exported by Type::Params.
 - Improved tests for the `goto_next` feature of Type::Params.

 [ Other ]
 - Added: Error::TypeTiny::WrongNumberOfParameters now has a `target`
   attribute indicating what thing you provided the wrong number of
   parameters for.
 - Added: There's now a
   Type::Tiny::check_parameter_count_for_parameterized_type utility
   function intended to be used for parameterizable types to throw an error
   when parameterized with the wrong number of parameters.
 - Parameterizable types defined by Types::Standard, Types::Common::String,
   Types::Common::Numeric, and Type::Params will throw an
   Error::TypeTiny::WrongNumberOfParameters exception if parameterized with
   the wrong number of parameters.
 - Passing unknown options to Type::Params functions will now result in
   warnings.

2.007_007	2025-03-18

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - Localize $@ before stringifying Error::TypeTiny objects.
   Karen Etheridge++

2.007_006	2025-03-14

 - Added: Types::Standard::Dict::combine() function.
   Branislav Zahradník++
 - Type::Params named_to_list option now accepts blessed boolean objects.
   Certain other options should be more permissive accepting them too.
   XSven++
 - Types::TypeTiny::BoolLike now accepts boolean.pm's bools.
   Benct Philip Jonsson++

2.007_005	2025-03-07

 [ Documentation ]
 - Minor fixes and improvements for `Type::Params` documentation.

2.007_004	2025-03-07

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - Avoid the `//` operator in `Type::Params::Parameter` as it isn't
   supported in Perl 5.8. Fixes bug introduced in 2.007_003.
 - Use `List::Util::sum` instead of `List::Util::sum0` which doesn't exist
   in some older versions of List::Util. Fixes bug introduced in 2.007_003.

 [ Documentation ]
 - Major rewrite of `Type::Params` documentation to prioritize
   `signature_for` and modern Perl, and some corresponding adjustments to
   `Type::Tiny::Manual`.

 [ Other ]
 - The `goto_next` option in `Type::Params` is now just called `next`. The
   original name is still supported for backwards compatibility.

2.007_003	2025-03-06

 [ Documentation ]
 - Minor pod fixed and improvements.
 - Update copyright dates to 2025.

 [ Other ]
 - Added: New Type::Params feature allow_dash automatically supports `-foo`
   as an alias for `foo`.
 - Added: New Type::Params feature list_to_named automatically extracts
   named parameters from a list of positional arguments.
 - Added: Type::Params optionally exports two shortcut keywords:
   `signature_for_func` and `signature_for_method`. The exact behaviour of
   these may change in the future.

2.007_002	2024-12-23

 [ Documentation ]
 - Update most examples to use features (postfix derefs, sub signatures)
   from more modern versions of Perl that allow for cleaner, tidier code.

2.007_001	2024-11-24

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - If Perl has been built with -Dusequadmath then cowardly refuse to use
   Type::Tiny::XS's implementation of is_Int.
   Andreas J König++

2.007_000	2024-10-20

 - Added: The `signature_for` function in Type::Params now includes most of
   the functionality of Return::Type (a separate CPAN distribution not
   bundled with Type::Tiny).
 - Added: The `signature_for` function in Type::Params now returns a value,
   though in most contexts you'll probably want to call it in void context
   anyway.

2.006000	2024-09-24

 [ Documentation ]
 - Update NEWS.

 [ Packaging ]
 - Repackage as stable. (See also the changelog for 2.005_001 and
   2.005_002.)

2.005_002	2024-09-08

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - Fix uninitialized warning messages from Error::TypeTiny when processing
   very shallow stack traces.
   Diab Jerius++

 [ Documentation ]
 - Fix minor typo in documentation for named parameters in `Type::Params`.
 - Update copyright notices in files to 2024.

 [ Other ]
 - Improved initialization of variables when they are tied to a type
   constraint; initialization to explicit values will work even when not
   tied via the `ttie` wrapper function; if no explicit values are
   provided, tied scalars will be initialized to the type's `type_default`.
   So for example, `tie( my $title, Str )` will initialize `$title` to the
   empty string instead of undef, and `tie( my $title, Str, 'Foo' )` will
   initialize the variable to 'Foo' as was already implied by
   documentation.
   Daniel Mita++
   XSven++
 - Inlining `Int` now calls the XS implementation when available. (The
   speed improvement is negligible, but it also may result in small memory
   savings.)
   Zaki Mughal++
   <https://github.com/tobyink/p5-type-tiny/pull/145>
 - Removed: Support for the ${^TYPE_PARAMS_MULTISIG} global variable has
   been dropped. Using this global variable was deprecated in trial version
   1.999_010 and stable version 2.000000, both of which are nearly two
   years old. Use ${^_TYPE_PARAMS_MULTISIG} instead.

2.005_001	2024-09-07

 [ Documentation ]
 - Fixes for various typos.
   Yoshikazu Sawa++
   <https://github.com/tobyink/p5-type-tiny/pull/155>
 - Improve documentation for the initialization of the `coercion` attribute
   for `Type::Tiny`.
   Diab Jerius++

 [ Other ]
 - Updated: Smartmatch discontinued beginning perl-5.41.3; Type::Tiny will
   no longer attempt to support smartmatch if the Perl version is too high.
   James E Keenan++
   <https://github.com/tobyink/p5-type-tiny/pull/161>

2.004000	2023-04-05

 [ Documentation ]
 - Document that the `BoolLike` type is unstable.
 - Minor pod changes to Types::Standard.

 [ Packaging ]
 - Summarized the change log for versions prior to Type::Tiny 2.000000. If
   you need more information, see the Changes file included with Type::Tiny
   2.002001.
   <https://metacpan.org/release/TOBYINK/Type-Tiny-2.002001/source/Changes>

2.003_000	2023-04-02

 [ Documentation ]
 - Add SYNOPSIS for Type::Tiny::Class.
 - Add SYNOPSIS for Type::Tiny::Duck.
 - Add SYNOPSIS for Type::Tiny::Enum.
 - Add SYNOPSIS for Type::Tiny::Intersection.
 - Add SYNOPSIS for Type::Tiny::Role.
 - Add SYNOPSIS for Type::Tiny::Union.
 - Add documentation and tests for the combination of the `goto_next` and
   `multiple` options when used with `signature_for`.
 - Add example of `signature_for` applying a signature to multiple
   functions at once.
 - Document changes to `make_immutable` in Type::Library v2.x.
   <https://github.com/tobyink/p5-type-tiny/issues/129>

 [ Other ]
 - Added: Type::Tiny now has an `exception_class` attribute, allowing a
   type to throw exceptions using a custom class. These classes should
   usually be a subclass of Error::TypeTiny::Assertion.
   <https://github.com/tobyink/p5-type-tiny/issues/133>
 - Added: Type::Tiny::Bitfield class.
   <https://github.com/tobyink/p5-type-tiny/issues/131>
 - Added: Types::TypeTiny::BoolLike type constraint.
   <https://github.com/tobyink/p5-type-tiny/issues/137>

2.002001	2023-01-20

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - Bugfix for Type::Tie+Storable issue affecting 32-bit builds of Perl.

2.002000	2023-01-01	Happy Fibonacci Day! 1/1/23

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - When Foo is a parameterized StrMatch type, ensure is_Foo always returns
   a single boolean value, even in list context.
   Diab Jerius++

 [ Documentation ]
 - Update NEWS.
 - Update copyright dates to 2023.

 [ Packaging ]
 - Repackage as stable.

2.001_002	2022-12-03

 [ Test Suite ]
 - Test `t/20-modules/Type-Tiny-Enum/exporter_lexical.t` will now run on
   older versions of Perl, provided Lexical::Sub is installed.

 [ Packaging ]
 - Depend on Exporter::Tiny 1.006000 which offers lexical export support
   for older versions of Perl, provided Lexical::Sub is installed.

 [ Other ]
 - If Type::Params signatures receive multiple unrecognized named
   arguments, the error message now lists them using
   Type::Utils::english_list() instead of just joining them with commas.
   This means that the error message will include 'and' before the last
   unrecognized named argument. If Type::Tiny::AvoidCallbacks is set to
   true while the signature is compiled, the old behaviour will be
   retained.
 - Type::Params no longer attempts to figure out the maximum number of
   expected arguments to functions which take key-value pairs. This allows
   `yourfunc(y=>1,y=>2)` to behave more intuitively, with the function just
   seeing the second value for `y`, instead of it throwing an exception
   complaining about too many arguments.

2.001_001	2022-10-19

 [ Documentation ]
 - Typo fix in Type::Tiny::Manual::UsingWithMoo.

 [ Other ]
 - Type::Library will better detect if two types result in functions with
   the same name.
 - Type::Tiny::XS will now provide XS implementations of some parameterized
   ArrayLike/HashLike types.
 - When importing `use Type::Library -util`, Type::Library will now pass
   some relevant import options to Type::Utils.

2.001_000	2022-09-29

 [ Bug Fixes ]
 - Avoid uninitialized warnings when creating a union between an Enum type
   and a non-Enum type.
   Diab Jerius++

 [ Documentation ]
 - Clearer documentation of Types::TypeTiny::to_TypeTiny.

 [ Test Suite ]
 - No longer report Type::Tie version at start of test suite, as Type::Tie
   is now bundled.

 [ Other ]
 - Added: Type::Library now has an undocumented, but tested and hopefully
   stable `_remove_type` method.
 - Added: Type::Tiny now has a `definition_context` attribute/method
   indicating the file and line number where a type constraint was first
   defined.
 - The list of packages Type::Tiny considers to be 'internal' has been
   moved from Error::TypeTiny to Type::Tiny.
 - Type::Tiny will now mark particular parts of its guts as readonly.
   Currently this is mainly used to prevent people pushing to and popping
   from type constraints which overload `@{}`.
