Changes for version 0.9.4 - 2012-09-21

  • Rewrite some parts.
  • Specify types 'all', 'any', 'obj', 'date' (moved from Data::Sah). Type 'date' still doesn't have clauses specified yet.
  • Specify clauses for 'hash' and 'array' (moved from Data::Sah)
  • Change examples to use JSON instead of Perl notation.
  • Add FAQ item: comparison to JSON schema.
  • Add FAQ item: advice on writing schemas (preliminary).
  • NEW
    • Add type: 'undef'.
    • Add attribute: 'input'.
    • Add clauses: 'check_each', 'exists', 'check_exists', 'each_index', 'check_each_index'.
  • INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES
    • Rename 'vals' attribute to 'is_multi' (a bool) and store the multiple values in the clause value itself. This is to avoid having both 'CLAUSE' and 'CLAUSE.vals'.
    • Rename 'expr' clause attribute to 'is_expr' (a bool). The expression is now contained in the original clause value/attribute. This is to be consistent with 'is_multi'.
    • Tweak the 'if' clause (change 'then_ok' or 'else_nok' to 'then' and 'else').
    • Rename clause 'noop' to 'ok' (consistency with min_ok/max_nok/etc). Remove clause 'fail' (can be replaced with '!ok').
    • Rename clause 'check' to 'expr' (consistency with 'prop' as well as the 'prop' and 'expr' keys in the 'if' clause).
  • REMOVED
    • HasElems: remove 'num_of' clause (not generic enough, might be split to a custom clause distribution later).
