FFI-Platypus 0.57_01

on Perl CPAN

Major refactor of the internals of the type system. The API is
the same but some type meta-data (which was never guaranteed
to stay the same) may have changed.

• The internal representation of types is much smaller (4 bytes
  for simple types), which can save a lot of memory if you have
  lots of types.

• Fixed width strings example: string(32) are now internally
  treated the same as a record with no class record(32).
  Previously these were separate types but worked identically,
  this removes duplicate code.

• Fixed width string arguments to a closure are now read-only,
  Usually you should be copying these arguments anyway.

• Removed the internal type "exotic float" which includes
  long double, complex float and complex double. These are
  now grouped internally with other scalar types.
