This is the ChangeLog page of Module:Params. All major events in the evolution of the module are recorded here in reverse chronological order.

For testing the module's capabilities, please visit the dedicated testcases page.

31st May 2024

Changes:

• The imposing and discarding modifiers have been added to the module
• Support for the let keyword (for passing non-sequential parameters) has been introduced in the mapping_* and renaming_* class of modifiers
• Code review:
  • The public interface has been moved to a metatable in order to avoid the duplication of functions
  • A different strategy has been adopted in order to avoid nesting infinite calls
  • The presentation of the code has had minor adjustments

29th May 2024

Changes:

• A different policy has been adopted for zero and negative parameter names directly passed to call_for_each_group (i.e. numerical argument names below 1 will be decreased by one unit, exactly like it happens for captured numerical prefixes)
• In case of collisions during renaming_blindly_by_calling and renaming_blindly_by_invoking, renamed parameters will now prevail over unchanged parameters
• Code review

27th May 2024

Changes:

• The call_for_each_group function and the filling_the_gaps modifier have been added to the module
• Code review

18th May 2024

Changes:

• Three new modifiers – clearing, rotating and sorting_sequential_values – have been added to the module
• The † mirroring and † reversing modifiers have been indefinitely removed (in the code they have been respectively renamed to pivoting and mirroring and commented out)

17th May 2024

Changes:

• Support for the strict flag has been added to the with_*_matching class of modifiers

12th May 2024

Changes:

• Modifiers † mapping_values_by_calling, † mapping_values_by_invoking, † mapping_values_blindly_by_calling and † mapping_values_blindly_by_invoking have been renamed to mapping_by_calling, mapping_by_invoking, mapping_blindly_by_calling, and mapping_blindly_by_invoking
• Seven new modifiers – cropping, purging, backpurging, † reversing, † mirroring, renaming_blindly_by_calling and renaming_blindly_by_invoking – have been added to the module
• The all_sorted modifier has now switched to natural sort order
• Code review

30th January 2024

Changes:

• The setting modifier now supports the l runtime variable for assigning a last iteration delimiter

15th January 2024‎

Changes:

• Four new modifiers – † mapping_values_by_calling, † mapping_values_by_invoking, † mapping_values_blindly_by_calling, and † mapping_values_blindly_by_invoking – have been added to the module
• One new function – concat_and_magic – has been added to the module
• Minor code review

27th September 2023‎

Changes:

• The self function has been added to the module

20th July 2023‎

Changes:

• The logic of modifiers with_name_matching, with_name_not_matching, with_value_matching and with_value_not_matching has been extended
• General code review

15th July 2023‎

Changes:

• One new modifier – all_sorted – has been added to the module
• General code review

14th July 2023‎

Changes:
