Revision history for Perl extension Promises
0.08 Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014
!! Thanks to clinton gormley for all these
!! changes. Please take note of the backcompat
!! breaking change for finalize().
- then() callbacks are now wrapped in
an eval block to prevent fatal exceptions
and to ensure that rejected promises
are propagated correctly
- renamed finalize() to done()
- added catch() sugar which takes just
an error handler
- added finally() handler which will
always be called, regardles of
whether the promise is resolved
or rejected, much like try/catch/finally

- catch exceptions in any callback and
call reject if they happen

will now return a new Promises::Promise
instance each time it is called

originally had

error in one step of the chain will be passed
onto the next step as well, this resolves
RT #81358.

the errors will bubble to the next promise in
