CHANGES

0.7 (2014-06-17)

  • Python 2.6 compatibility. (Ivo van der Wijk)

  • Class maps (and thus generic function lookup) now works with old style classes as well.

  • Marked as production/stable now in setup.py.

0.6 (2014-04-08)

  • Removed unused code from mapply.py.

  • Typo fix in API docs.

0.5 (2014-01-21)

  • Make reg.ANY public. Used for predicates that match any value.

0.4 (2014-01-14)

  • arginfo has been totally rewritten and is now part of the public API of reg.

0.3 (2014-01-06)

  • Experimental Python 3.3 support thanks to the future module.

0.2 (2013-12-19)

  • If a generic function implementation defines a lookup argument that argument will be the lookup used to call it.

  • Added reg.mapply(). This allows you to call things with more keyword arguments than it accepts, ignoring those extra keyword args.

  • A function that returns None is not assumed to fail, so no fallback to the original generic function is triggered anymore.

  • An optional precalc facility is made available on Matcher to avoid some recalculation.

  • Implement a specific PredicateMatcher that matches a value on predicate.

0.1 (2013-10-28)

  • Initial public release.
