So, Type::Tiny 1.2.0 (a.k.a. 1.002000 using Perlish decimals) is now available on CPAN.

Highlights since 1.0.0:

• Type::Params now has compile_named and validate_named.

  This allows for:

  sub add_pet {
    state $check = compile_named(
      name    => Str,
      species => Str,
      age     => Optional[Int],
    );
    my $args = $check->(@_);
  
    ...; # do stuff with $args hashref
  }

  It's faster than the old compile slurpy Dict hack.

• Type::Tiny's constraint parameter may be a string of code.

  isa => Int->where('$_ % 2 == 0')  # even numbers only

• Types::Standard::CycleTuple added.

  my $type = CycleTuple[Str, ArrayRef, Int];
  $type->assert_valid( [ "foo", [], 42, "bar", [], 21 ] );  # ok
  $type->assert_valid( [ "foo", [], 42, "bar", [], 2.1 ] ); # throws exception

• Types::Standard::RegexpRef now accepts blessed objects where $object->isa('Regexp'). This plays better with re::engine::* pragmas.

• Fixed bug where Types::Standard::Int would sometimes accept an overloaded object. (It never should.)

• Various performance enhancements and bug fixes.
