The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 1.00

  • Wow - 4 years of silence... sorry for that...
  • Slight change in the API: the "validate" callback is now supposed to return undef (the undefined value) in case the validation failed; this was required to allow "false" values (in the sense of Perl, like 0, '') as correct return values (defined) of the validation callback.
  • A couple of minor bug fixes and improvements, tested with on a bunch of platforms, in an attempt to increase portability:
  • Windows / ActivePerl
  • Windows / Cygwin
  • Windows / SUA
  • Linux
  • Solaris
  • Fixed a few POD errors and added POD for T:C:Multi and :Path.
  • CPAN #83424: Bug in Term::Completion
  • fixed deprecated goto (with Perl 5.12 and higher)
  • CPAN #77772: [wish] on-demand alternative to (automatic) help
  • implemented propsal, thanks for the patch!
  • CPAN #77697: Warning 'Use of uninitialized value' when scrolling if input text is not matched
  • applied patch, thanks a lot!
