Changes:

• (BREAKING CHANGES) The † mapping_blindly_by_calling, † mapping_blindly_by_invoking, † renaming_blindly_by_calling and † renaming_blindly_by_invoking modifiers have been removed; the same functionalities have now been moved to [[Module:Params#mapping_by_calling|mapping_by_calling]], [[Module:Params#mapping_by_invoking|mapping_by_invoking]], [[Module:Params#renaming_by_calling|renaming_by_calling]], and [[Module:Params#renaming_by_invoking|renaming_by_invoking]] (this breaks compatibility with former syntax); these modifiers now support a call style flag – please see the documentation for more information
• The [[Module:Params#renaming_by_calling|renaming_by_calling]], [[Module:Params#renaming_by_invoking|renaming_by_invoking]], [[Module:Params#mapping_by_magic|mapping_by_magic]], and [[Module:Params#mapping_by_magic|mapping_by_magic]] modifiers have been added to the module
• Code review

Changes:

• The [[Module:Params#imposing|imposing]] and [[Module:Params#discarding|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

(diff, permanent link)

Changes:

• A different policy has been adopted for zero and negative parameter names directly passed to [[Module:Params#call_for_each_group|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 † [[Module:Params#renaming_by_calling|renaming_blindly_by_calling]] and † [[Module:Params#renaming_by_invoking|renaming_blindly_by_invoking]], renamed parameters will now prevail over unchanged parameters
• Code review

27th May 2024

(diff, permanent link)

Changes:

• The [[Module:Params#call_for_each_group|call_for_each_group]] function and the [[Module:Params#filling_the_gaps|filling_the_gaps]] modifier have been added to the module
