Changes for version 0.99_001 - 2018-04-21

  • BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE
    • new format for the .dataprinterrc file
  • NEW FEATURES:
    • Data::Printer::Object available for public usage! (big thanks to frew && rjbs)
    • use DDP; p $foo, as => 'this is a label'; Hopefully this helps people tag their debug code without having to write caller_info => 1, caller_message => '...'
    • theme => 'XXX' will try and load Data::Printer::Theme::XXX, which you can create to share your colour scheme with the world!
    • speaking of colours, you can now use up to 256 of them (if your terminal supports them, of course)
    • print only a slice of arrays and hashes with:
      • array_max => 10 (default is 50, set it to 0 for unlimited)
      • array_overflow => '(...skipping __SKIPPED__ items...)'
      • array_preserve => 'begin' if the array has more than array_max elements, preserve the first array_max elements and replace the rest with '(...skipping XX items...)'. Other available options are 'end', 'middle', 'extremes', and 'none'.
      • hash_max / hash_overflow / hash_preserve (same! note however that preserved keys will only be the same if hash keys are sorted) Defaults to 50.
    • ignore_keys to skip their dump (feature by Eugen Konkov)
    • string_max/string_overflow/string_preserve to limit string entries (scalars), just like arrays and hashes. Defaults to 1024 and 'begin'. Set it to 0 for unlimited size.
    • new 'separator', 'brackets' and 'overflow' colors to control
    • unicode_charnames, when set to 1 (together with escape_chars) will try and use the Unicode name when escaping strings. So `$s = "\x{2603}"; p $s` will output "\N{SNOWMAN}"
    • show_refcount => 1 exposes the reference count for the data structure (and inner data) if the count is greater than 1. (default 0, showing no refcounts).
    • show_memsize => 1 shows the (approximated) amount of memory the variable occupies for all variables on that level. This means that '1' will show the size of the entire data structure, while 2 will also show sizes of inner data, 3 will go even deeper and so on. To get the size of everything, use 'all' - though usually you'll probably want to just use '1'. This requires Devel::Size, so the default is 0 for none.
    • memsize_unit defined in which unit to show the memory usage. Can be set to 'b'(ytes), 'k'(ilobytes), 'm'(egabytes) or 'auto' (the default).
    • new property 'format_inheritance', defaults to "lines", a shiny and much clearer new way to displays methods per inherited package. You may also set it to 'string' to preserve the old behaviour.
    • inheritance tree is considered when filtering objects unless you disable it with 'parent_filters => 0' (Ovid)
    • new option 'stringify' (default: 1) will return the stringified version of the object, if one is available. It will try overloaded strings/numbers, as_string() and stringify() calls, respectively. Note that this will efectivelly ignore all other class details you may have chosen. (Sergey Aleynikov, Benct Philip Jonsson)
    • new option show_overloads (default: 1) will list all overloads from the object's class.
    • the standard class filter is now able to show internals in blessed subs
    • support for faster natural sorting via Sort::Key::Natural if the user has it installed (feature request by @grr on github)
  • BUG FIXES:
    • fix array subelement alignment when index is shown (GARU)
    • show UNIVERSAL in linear ISA if it's on (GARU)
    • use "\n" instead of $/ as default line separator (Håkon Hægland && Chung-Kuan Tsai)
    • less magic added to internal Perl representation of variables (Jarrod Funnell, Sergey Aleynikov, Michael Conrad, Nicolas R.)
    • show_methods is now independent from show_inherited, meaning you can check all inherited methods and no local ones, or any combination thereof. This is the expected behaviour from the documentation, but was not happening.
