Changes for version v3.9.4 - 2022-02-12

  • Bug Fixes
    • fix define gen_args 'capture' only for patterns supporting capture, and add tag 'capturing'
    • fix define gen_args 'subject' and 'req' (not accidentally merge them)
    • fix detect irregular end-quote (annotation [" ])
  • Test Suite
    • drop unused code in legacy test library MyTest
    • rename test library Test2::Regexp::Pattern::License -> Test2::Tools::LicenseRegistry
    • rewrite test library MyTest.pm as Test2::Tools::LicenseRegistry
    • skip test if re object is a native Regexp object with perl before v5.12 (where RE2 engine is unlikely to be available anyway)
    • streamline test library Test2::Tools::LicenseObject
    • use Test2::V0 for author test tidyall.t
  • Packaging
    • stop test-require Test::Builder::Module
    • stop test-require Test::More
  • Other
    • add summary-inspired name pattern for object perl
    • avoid barely used org software_license: replace pattern caption.alt.org.software_license with summary.alt.misc.software_license for object perl
    • extend tidyall config to cover tests
    • optimize slightly: resolve gen option 'subjects' (and possible break) before resolving other options
    • optimize: mangle capture annotation only for patterns supporting capture
    • optimize: reuse generic gen_args hashrefs
    • work around tidyall string-encoding bug
