MANUAL

9   Type::Tiny Stability Policy
10       Type::Tiny 1.000000+ is considered stable. Any changes to the API that
11       are big enough to require changes to the test suite will be preceded by
12       a six month notice period, with the following exceptions:
13
14       •   Any changes which are necessary to maintain compatibility with new
15           releases of Moose, Moo, and other software that Type::Tiny needs to
16           integrate with.
17
18       •   Changes to maintain compatibility with future versions of Perl
19           itself.
20
21       •   Where a change fixes a contradiction between the implementation and
22           documentation of Type::Tiny.
23
24       •   Where a feature is explicitly documented as being "experimental" or
25           "unstable".
26
27       •   Improvements to the text of error messages.
28
29   Experimental and Unstable Type::Tiny Features
30       The following list is currently non-exhaustive.
31
32       •   The following type checks result may vary based on your version of
33           Perl and whether Type::Tiny::XS is installed. Their outcome is
34           currently considered undefined, and may change in future versions.
35
36           •   Using Object and similar type checks on unblessed regular
37               expression references, the outcome is undefined.
38
39           •   On all current versions of Perl, false ("!!0") stringifies to
40               the empty string (but using Devel::Peek you can tell the
41               difference between this value and a normal empty string), so
42               Int and subtypes of Int do not consider it to be an integer. If
43               Perl's behaviour ever changes, you might not be able to rely on
44               this outcome. True ("!!1") stringifies as "1", so is considered
45               an integer.
46
47           •   A glob (not a globref but an actual glob) currently passes the
48               StringLike type constraint but not the Str type constraint.
49
50           •   The  BoolLike type is intended to extend Bool to cover
51               overloaded boolean objects, but the exact mechanism it uses may
52               change.
53
54       •   Type::Tiny's "my_methods" attribute and the functionality it
55           provides is experimental.
56
57       •   The parameterizable coercion API is subject to change.
58
59       •   The interaction of deep coercions and mutable coercions currently
60           results in ill-defined behaviour. This could change at any time.
61
62       •   Type::Registry's ability to import MooseX::Types and MouseX::Types
63           type libraries is experimental.
64
65       •   These modules are considered part of Type::Tiny's internals, and
66           not covered by the stability policy: Devel::TypeTiny::Perl58Compat,
67           Type::Coercion::FromMoose, Type::Params::Alternatives,
68           Type::Params::Parameter, Type::Params::Signature,
69           Type::Tiny::_HalfOp, Types::Standard::ArrayRef,
70           Types::Standard::CycleTuple, Types::Standard::Dict,
71           Types::Standard::HashRef, Types::Standard::Map,
72           Types::Standard::ScalarRef, Types::Standard::StrMatch,
73           Types::Standard::Tied, and Types::Standard::Tuple.
74
75       •   Reply::Plugin::TypeTiny is not covered by the stability policy.
76
77   Type::Tiny Versioning Policy
78       As of 1.000000, this distribution follows a versioning scheme similar
79       to Moo, which is based on a semver <http://semver.org/>-like three
80       component version number, but with the last two components each
81       represented by three decimal digits in the fractional part of the
82       version number. That is, version 1.003002 of the software represents
83       "1.3.2".
84
85       Additionally, releases where the second component is an odd number will
86       be considered unstable/trial releases. (These will also include an
87       underscore in the version number as per the usual CPAN convention.)
88
89   Perl Version Support
90       Type::Tiny 0.000_01 to Type::Tiny 0.015_04 required Perl 5.8.1.
91
92       Type::Tiny 0.015_05+ and Type::Tiny 1.000000+ requires Perl 5.6.1.
93
94       Type::Tiny 2.000000+ will require Perl 5.8.1.
