| 4 | |
| 5 | Version 1.0.8, binary format 2.4. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Fixed incorrect error message. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Now bless objects ASAP at retrieve time, which is meant to fix |
| 10 | two bugs: |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * Indirect references to overloaded object were not able to |
| 13 | restore overloading if the object was not blessed yet, |
| 14 | which was possible since blessing occurred only after the |
| 15 | recursive retrieval. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | * Storable hooks asking for serialization of blessed ref could |
| 18 | get un-blessed refs at retrieval time, for the very same |
| 19 | reason. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | The fix implemented here was suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Added support for blessed ref to tied structures. This is the |
| 24 | cause for the binary format change. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Added EBCDIC version of the compatibility test with 0.6.11, |
| 27 | from Peter Prymmer |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Added tests for the new features, and to make sure the bugs they |
| 30 | are meant to fix are indeed fixed. |

| 34 | . Description: |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Removed spurious 'clean' entry in Makefile.PL. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Added CAN_FLOCK to determine whether we can flock() or not, |
| 39 | by inspecting Perl's configuration parameters, as determined |
| 40 | by Configure. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Trace offending package when overloading cannot be restored |
| 43 | on a scalar. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Made context cleanup safer to avoid dup freeing, mostly in the |
| 46 | presence of repeated exceptions during store/retrieve (which can |
| 47 | cause memory leaks anyway, so it's just additional safety, not a |
| 48 | definite fix). |

| 53 | |
| 54 | Version 1.0.6. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | Fixed severe "object lost" bug for STORABLE_freeze returns, |
| 57 | when refs to lexicals, taken within the hook, were to be |
| 58 | serialized by Storable. Enhanced the t/recurse.t test to |
| 59 | stress hook a little more with refs to lexicals. |

| 62 | |
| 63 | . Description: |
| 64 | |
| 65 | Version 1.0.5. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | Documented that store() and retrieve() can return undef. |
| 68 | That is, the error reporting is not always made via exceptions, |
| 69 | as the paragraph on error reporting was implying. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | Auto requires module of blessed ref when STORABLE_thaw misses. |
| 72 | When the Storable engine looks for the STORABLE_thaw hook and |
| 73 | does not find it, it now tries to require the package into which |
| 74 | the blessed reference is. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | Just check $^O, in t/lock.t: there's no need to pull the whole |
| 77 | Config module for that. |

| 81 | . Description: |
| 82 | |
| 83 | Version 1.0.3. |
| 84 | |
| 85 | Avoid using "tainted" and "dirty" since Perl remaps them via |
| 86 | cpp (i.e. #define). This is deeply harmful when threading |
| 87 | is enabled. This concerned both the context structure and |
| 88 | local variable and argument names. Brrr..., scary! |

| 99 | after a proposal from Erik Haugan <erik@solbors.no>. |
| 100 | |
| 101 | Perls before 5.004_04 lack newSVpvn, added remapping in XS. |

| 112 | |
| 113 | Added Salvador Ortiz Garcia in CREDITS section, He identified |
| 114 | a bug in the store hooks and proposed the right fix: the class |
| 115 | id was allocated too soon. His bug case was also added to |
| 116 | the regression test suite. |
| 117 | |
| 118 | Now only taint retrieved data when source was tainted. A bug |
| 119 | discovered by Marc Lehmann. |
| 120 | |
| 121 | Added support for UTF-8 strings, a contribution of Marc Lehmann. |
| 122 | This is normally only activated in post-5.6 perls. |

| 135 | The next version of Storable will be 0.8, and will be integrated |
| 136 | into the Perl core (development branch). |

| 146 | |
| 147 | Added a refcnt dec in retrieve_tied_key(): sv_magic() increases |
| 148 | the refcnt on the mg_ptr as well. |
| 149 | |
| 150 | Removed spurious dependency to Devel::Peek, which was used for |

| 157 | |
| 158 | Marc Lehmann kindly contributed code to add overloading support |
| 159 | and to handle references to tied variables. |
| 160 | |
| 161 | Rewrote leading blurb about compatibility to make it clearer what |
| 162 | "backward compatibility" is about: when I say 0.7 is backward |
| 163 | compatible with 0.6, it means the revision 0.7 can read files |
| 164 | produced by 0.6. |
| 165 | |
| 166 | Mention new Clone(3) extension in SEE ALSO. |
| 167 | |
| 168 | Was wrongly optimizing for "undef" values in hashes by not |
| 169 | fully recursing: as a result, tied "undef" values were incorrectly |
| 170 | serialized. |
| 171 | |
| 172 | Sun Jul 30 12:59:17 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> |
| 173 | |
| 174 | First revision of Storable 0.7. |
| 175 | |
| 176 | The serializing format is new, known as version 2.0. It is fully |
| 177 | backward compatible with 0.6. Earlier formats are deprecated and |
| 178 | have not even been tested: next version will drop pre-0.6 format. |
| 179 | |
| 180 | Changes since 0.6@11: |
| 181 | |
| 182 | - Moved interface to the "beta" status. Some tiny parts are still |
| 183 | subject to change, but nothing important enough to warrant an "alpha" |
| 184 | status any longer. |
| 185 | |
| 186 | - Slightly reduced the size of the Storable image by factorizing |
| 187 | object class names and removing final object storage notification due |
| 188 | to a redesign of the blessed object storing. |
| 189 | |
| 190 | - Classes can now redefine how they wish their instances to be serialized |
| 191 | and/or deep cloned. Serializing hooks are written in Perl code. |
| 192 | |
| 193 | - The engine is now fully re-entrant. |

| 197 | . Description: |
| 198 | |
| 199 | Added provision to detect more recent binary formats, since |
| 200 | the new upcoming Storable-0.7 will use a different format. |
| 201 | In order to prevent attempting the de-serialization of newer |
| 202 | formats by older versions, I'm adding this now to the 0.6 series. |
| 203 | |
| 204 | I'm expecting this revision to be the last of the 0.6 series. |
| 205 | Unless it does not work with perl 5.6, which I don't use yet, |
| 206 | and therefore against which I cannot test. |

| 209 | |
| 210 | . Description: |
| 211 | |
| 212 | Added note about format incompatibilities with old versions |
| 213 | (i.e. pre 0.5@9 formats, which cannot be understood as there |
| 214 | was no versionning information in the file by then). |
| 215 | |
| 216 | Protect all $@ variables when eval {} used, to avoid corrupting |
| 217 | it when store/retrieve is called within an exception handler. |
| 218 | |
| 219 | Mistakenly included "patchlevel.h" instead of <patchlevel.h>, |
| 220 | preventing Perl's patchlevel from being included, which is |
| 221 | needed starting from 5.6. |

| 281 | . Description: |
| 282 | |
| 283 | Updated benchmark figures due to recent optimizations done in |
| 284 | store(): tagnums are now stored as-is in the hash table, so |
| 285 | no surrounding SV is created. And the "shared keys" mode for |
| 286 | hash table was turned off. |
| 287 | |
| 288 | Fixed backward compatibility (wrt 0.5@9) for retrieval of |
| 289 | blessed refs. That old version did something wrong, but the |
| 290 | bugfix prevented correct retrieval of the old format. |

| 302 | |
| 303 | . Description: |
| 304 | |
| 305 | Added workaround for persistent LVALUE-ness in perl5.004. All |
| 306 | scalars tagged as being an lvalue are handled as if they were |
| 307 | not an lvalue at all. Added test for that LVALUE bug workaround. |
| 308 | |
| 309 | Now handles Perl immortal scalars explicitely, by storing &sv_yes |
| 310 | as such, explicitely. |
| 311 | |
| 312 | Retrieval of non-immortal undef cannot be shared. Previous |
| 313 | version was over-optimizing by not creating a separate SV for |
| 314 | all undefined scalars seen. |
| 315 | |

| 317 | |
| 318 | . Description: |
| 319 | |
| 320 | Baseline for Storable-0.6@0. |
| 321 | |
| 322 | This version introduces a binary incompatibility in the generated |
| 323 | binary image, which is more compact than older ones by approximatively |
| 324 | 15%, depending on the exact degree of sharing in your structures. |
| 325 | |
| 326 | The good news is that your older images can still be retrieved with |
| 327 | this version, i.e. backward compatibility is preserved. This version |
| 328 | of Storable can only generate new binaries however. |
| 329 | |
| 330 | Another good news is that the retrieval of data structure is |
| 331 | significantly quicker than before, because a Perl array is used |
| 332 | instead of a hash table to keep track of retrieved objects, and |
| 333 | also because the image being smaller, less I/O function calls are |
| 334 | made. |

| 339 | |
| 340 | Version number now got from Storable.pm directly. |
| 341 | |
| 342 | Fixed overzealous sv_type() optimization, which would make |
| 343 | Storable fail when faced with an "upgraded" SV to the PVIV |
| 344 | or PVNV kind containing a reference. |

| 349 | |
| 350 | Extended the SYNOPSIS section to give quick overview of the |
| 351 | routines and their signature. |
| 352 | |
| 353 | Optimized sv_type() to avoid flags checking when not needed, i.e. |
| 354 | when their type makes it impossible for them to be refs or tied. |
| 355 | This slightly increases throughput by a few percents when refs |
| 356 | and tied variables are marginal occurrences in your data. |
| 357 | |
| 358 | Stubs for XS now use OutputStream and InputStream file types to |
| 359 | make it work when the given file is actually a socket. Perl |
| 360 | makes a distinction for sockets in its internal I/O structures |
| 361 | by having both a read and a write structure, whereas plain files |
| 362 | share the same one. |

| 380 | . Description: |
| 381 | |
| 382 | Wrote sizeof(SV *) instead of sizeof(I32) when portable, which |
| 383 | in effect mangled the object tags and prevented portability |
| 384 | accross 32/64 bit architectures! |

| 388 | . Description: |
| 389 | |
| 390 | Added code example for store_fd() and retrieve_fd() in the |
| 391 | man page, to emphasize that file descriptors must be passed as |
| 392 | globs, not as plain strings. |
| 393 | |
| 394 | Cannot use SV addresses as tag when using nstore() on LP64. This |
| 395 | was the cause of problems when creating a storable image on an |
| 396 | LP64 machine and retrieving it on an ILP32 system, which is |
| 397 | exactly what nstore() is meant for... |
| 398 | |
| 399 | However, we continue to use SV addresses as tags for plain store(), |
| 400 | because benchamarking shows that it saves up to 8% of the store |
| 401 | time, and store() is meant to be fast at the expense of lack |
| 402 | of portability. |
| 403 | |
| 404 | This means there will be approximately an 8% degradation of |
| 405 | performance for nstore(), but it's now working as expected. |
| 406 | That cost may vary on your machine of course, since it is |
| 407 | solely caused by the memory allocation overhead used to create |
| 408 | unique SV tags for each distinct stored SV. |
