MANUAL
Type::Tiny Stability Policy
Type::Tiny 1.000000 is considered stable. Any changes to the API that are big enough to
require changes to the test suite will be preceded by a six month notice period, with the
following exceptions:
o Any changes which are necessary to maintain compatibility with new releases of Moose,
Moo, and other software that Type::Tiny needs to integrate with.
o Changes to maintain compatibility with future versions of Perl itself.
o Where a change fixes a contradiction between the implementation and documentation of
Type::Tiny.
o Where a feature is explicitly documented as being "experimental" or "unstable".
o Improvements to the text of error messages.
Experimental and Unstable Type::Tiny Features
The following list is currently non-exhaustive.
o The following type checks result may vary based on your version of Perl and whether
Type::Tiny::XS is installed. Their outcome is currently considered undefined, and may
change in future versions.
o Using Object and similar type checks on unblessed regular expression references,
the outcome is undefined.
o On all current versions of Perl, false ("!!0") stringifies to the empty string
(but using Devel::Peek you can tell the difference between this value and a normal
empty string), so Int and subtypes of Int do not consider it to be an integer. If
Perl's behaviour ever changes, you might not be able to rely on this outcome. True
("!!1") stringifies as "1", so is considered an integer.
o A glob (not a globref but an actual glob) currently passes the StringLike type
constraint but not the Str type constraint.
o Type::Tiny's "my_methods" attribute and the functionality it provides is experimental.
o The parameterizable coercion API is subject to change.
o The interaction of deep coercions and mutable coercions currently results in ill-
defined behaviour. This could change at any time.
o Type::Registry's ability to import MooseX::Types and MouseX::Types type libraries is
experimental.
o These modules are considered part of Type::Tiny's internals, and not covered by the
stability policy: Devel::TypeTiny::Perl56Compat, Devel::TypeTiny::Perl58Compat,
Type::Coercion::FromMoose, Type::Tiny::_HalfOp, Types::Standard::ArrayRef,
Types::Standard::CycleTuple, Types::Standard::Dict, Types::Standard::HashRef,
Types::Standard::Map, Types::Standard::ScalarRef, Types::Standard::StrMatch,
Types::Standard::Tied, and Types::Standard::Tuple.
o Reply::Plugin::TypeTiny is not covered by the stability policy.
Type::Tiny Versioning Policy
As of 1.000000, this distribution follows a versioning scheme similar to Moo, which is
based on a semver <http://semver.org/>-like three component version number, but with the
last two components each represented by three decimal digits in the fractional part of the
version number. That is, version 1.003002 of the software represents "1.3.2".
Additionally, releases where the second component is an odd number will be considered
unstable/trial releases. (These will also include an underscore in the version number as
per the usual CPAN convention.)
