Changes for version 2.20 - 2013-06-23

  • Many improvements from Niels Thykier, hero of the free people. From GH #25:
  • SPEED / INTERNAL: Less time is spent computing prototypes
  • SPEED / INTERNAL: Leak guards are more efficient.
  • SPEED : Expanding tags (eg: qw(:all)) is now faster. This also improves the speed of checking autodying code with Perl::Critic.
  • INTERNAL: Expanding of tags is faster and preserves order.
