5 | Systematically use "=over 4" for POD linters. |
6 | Apparently, POD linters are much stricter than would |
7 | otherwise be needed, but that's OK. |
8 | |
9 | Fixed memory corruption on croaks during thaw(). Thanks |
10 | to Claudio Garcia for reproducing this bug and providing the |
11 | code to exercise it. Added test cases for this bug, adapted |
12 | from Claudio's code. |
13 | |
14 | Made code compile cleanly with -Wall (from Jarkko Hietaniemi). |
15 | |
16 | Changed tagnum and classnum from I32 to IV in context. Also |
17 | from Jarkko. |

23 | Last version was wrongly compiling with assertions on, due |
24 | to an edit glitch. That did not cause any problem (apart from |
25 | a slight performance loss) excepted on Win* platforms, where the |
26 | assertion code does not compile. |

34 | Forgot to increase version number at previous patch (there were |
35 | two of them, which is why we jump from 1.0.8 to 1.0.10). |

41 | Version 1.0.8, binary format 2.4. |
42 | |
43 | Fixed incorrect error message. |
44 | |
45 | Now bless objects ASAP at retrieve time, which is meant to fix |
46 | two bugs: |
47 | |
48 | * Indirect references to overloaded object were not able to |
49 | restore overloading if the object was not blessed yet, |
50 | which was possible since blessing occurred only after the |
51 | recursive retrieval. |
52 | |
53 | * Storable hooks asking for serialization of blessed ref could |
54 | get un-blessed refs at retrieval time, for the very same |
55 | reason. |
56 | |
57 | The fix implemented here was suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons. |
58 | |
59 | Added support for blessed ref to tied structures. This is the |
60 | cause for the binary format change. |
61 | |
62 | Added EBCDIC version of the compatibility test with 0.6.11, |
63 | from Peter Prymmer |
64 | |
65 | Added tests for the new features, and to make sure the bugs they |
66 | are meant to fix are indeed fixed. |

71 | |
72 | Removed spurious 'clean' entry in Makefile.PL. |
73 | |
74 | Added CAN_FLOCK to determine whether we can flock() or not, |
75 | by inspecting Perl's configuration parameters, as determined |
76 | by Configure. |
77 | |
78 | Trace offending package when overloading cannot be restored |
79 | on a scalar. |
80 | |
81 | Made context cleanup safer to avoid dup freeing, mostly in the |
82 | presence of repeated exceptions during store/retrieve (which can |
83 | cause memory leaks anyway, so it's just additional safety, not a |
84 | definite fix). |

90 | Version 1.0.6. |
91 | |
92 | Fixed severe "object lost" bug for STORABLE_freeze returns, |
93 | when refs to lexicals, taken within the hook, were to be |
94 | serialized by Storable. Enhanced the t/recurse.t test to |
95 | stress hook a little more with refs to lexicals. |

99 | . Description: |
100 | |
101 | Version 1.0.5. |
102 | |
103 | Documented that store() and retrieve() can return undef. |
104 | That is, the error reporting is not always made via exceptions, |
105 | as the paragraph on error reporting was implying. |
106 | |
107 | Auto requires module of blessed ref when STORABLE_thaw misses. |
108 | When the Storable engine looks for the STORABLE_thaw hook and |
109 | does not find it, it now tries to require the package into which |
110 | the blessed reference is. |
111 | |
112 | Just check $^O, in t/lock.t: there's no need to pull the whole |
113 | Config module for that. |

121 | Protected calls to flock() for DOS platform: apparently, the |
122 | flock/fcnlt emulation is reported to be broken on that |
123 | platform. |
124 | |
125 | Added logcarp emulation if they don't have Log::Agent, since |
126 | we now use it to carp when lock_store/lock_retrieve is used |
127 | on DOS. |

133 | Version 1.0.3. |
134 | |
135 | Avoid using "tainted" and "dirty" since Perl remaps them via |
136 | cpp (i.e. #define). This is deeply harmful when threading |
137 | is enabled. This concerned both the context structure and |
138 | local variable and argument names. Brrr..., scary! |

149 | after a proposal from Erik Haugan <erik@solbors.no>. |
150 | |

162 | |
163 | Added Salvador Ortiz Garcia in CREDITS section, He identified |
164 | a bug in the store hooks and proposed the right fix: the class |
165 | id was allocated too soon. His bug case was also added to |
166 | the regression test suite. |
167 | |
168 | Now only taint retrieved data when source was tainted. A bug |
169 | discovered by Marc Lehmann. |

208 | Marc Lehmann kindly contributed code to add overloading support |
209 | and to handle references to tied variables. |
210 | |
211 | Rewrote leading blurb about compatibility to make it clearer what |
212 | "backward compatibility" is about: when I say 0.7 is backward |
213 | compatible with 0.6, it means the revision 0.7 can read files |
214 | produced by 0.6. |
215 | |
216 | Mention new Clone(3) extension in SEE ALSO. |
217 | |
218 | Was wrongly optimizing for "undef" values in hashes by not |

223 | |
224 | First revision of Storable 0.7. |
225 | |
226 | The serializing format is new, known as version 2.0. It is fully |
227 | backward compatible with 0.6. Earlier formats are deprecated and |
228 | have not even been tested: next version will drop pre-0.6 format. |
229 | |
230 | Changes since 0.6@11: |
231 | |
232 | - Moved interface to the "beta" status. Some tiny parts are still |
233 | subject to change, but nothing important enough to warrant an "alpha" |
234 | status any longer. |
235 | |
236 | - Slightly reduced the size of the Storable image by factorizing |
237 | object class names and removing final object storage notification due |
238 | to a redesign of the blessed object storing. |
239 | |
240 | - Classes can now redefine how they wish their instances to be serialized |
241 | and/or deep cloned. Serializing hooks are written in Perl code. |
242 | |
243 | - The engine is now fully re-entrant. |

247 | . Description: |
248 | |
249 | Added provision to detect more recent binary formats, since |
250 | the new upcoming Storable-0.7 will use a different format. |
251 | In order to prevent attempting the de-serialization of newer |
252 | formats by older versions, I'm adding this now to the 0.6 series. |
253 | |
254 | I'm expecting this revision to be the last of the 0.6 series. |
255 | Unless it does not work with perl 5.6, which I don't use yet, |
256 | and therefore against which I cannot test. |

260 | . Description: |
261 | |
262 | Added note about format incompatibilities with old versions |
263 | (i.e. pre 0.5@9 formats, which cannot be understood as there |
264 | was no versionning information in the file by then). |
265 | |
266 | Protect all $@ variables when eval {} used, to avoid corrupting |
267 | it when store/retrieve is called within an exception handler. |
268 | |
269 | Mistakenly included "patchlevel.h" instead of <patchlevel.h>, |
270 | preventing Perl's patchlevel from being included, which is |
271 | needed starting from 5.6. |

331 | . Description: |
332 | |
333 | Updated benchmark figures due to recent optimizations done in |
334 | store(): tagnums are now stored as-is in the hash table, so |
335 | no surrounding SV is created. And the "shared keys" mode for |
336 | hash table was turned off. |
337 | |
338 | Fixed backward compatibility (wrt 0.5@9) for retrieval of |
339 | blessed refs. That old version did something wrong, but the |
340 | bugfix prevented correct retrieval of the old format. |

354 | |
355 | Added workaround for persistent LVALUE-ness in perl5.004. All |
356 | scalars tagged as being an lvalue are handled as if they were |
357 | not an lvalue at all. Added test for that LVALUE bug workaround. |
358 | |
359 | Now handles Perl immortal scalars explicitely, by storing &sv_yes |
360 | as such, explicitely. |
361 | |
362 | Retrieval of non-immortal undef cannot be shared. Previous |
363 | version was over-optimizing by not creating a separate SV for |
364 | all undefined scalars seen. |

368 | . Description: |
369 | |
370 | Baseline for Storable-0.6@0. |
371 | |
372 | This version introduces a binary incompatibility in the generated |
373 | binary image, which is more compact than older ones by approximatively |
374 | 15%, depending on the exact degree of sharing in your structures. |
375 | |
376 | The good news is that your older images can still be retrieved with |
377 | this version, i.e. backward compatibility is preserved. This version |
378 | of Storable can only generate new binaries however. |
379 | |
380 | Another good news is that the retrieval of data structure is |
381 | significantly quicker than before, because a Perl array is used |
382 | instead of a hash table to keep track of retrieved objects, and |
383 | also because the image being smaller, less I/O function calls are |
384 | made. |

389 | |
390 | Version number now got from Storable.pm directly. |
391 | |
392 | Fixed overzealous sv_type() optimization, which would make |

394 | or PVNV kind containing a reference. |

399 | |
400 | Extended the SYNOPSIS section to give quick overview of the |
401 | routines and their signature. |
402 | |
403 | Optimized sv_type() to avoid flags checking when not needed, i.e. |
404 | when their type makes it impossible for them to be refs or tied. |
405 | This slightly increases throughput by a few percents when refs |
406 | and tied variables are marginal occurrences in your data. |
407 | |
408 | Stubs for XS now use OutputStream and InputStream file types to |
409 | make it work when the given file is actually a socket. Perl |
410 | makes a distinction for sockets in its internal I/O structures |
411 | by having both a read and a write structure, whereas plain files |
412 | share the same one. |

431 | |
432 | Wrote sizeof(SV *) instead of sizeof(I32) when portable, which |

437 | |
438 | . Description: |
439 | |
440 | Added code example for store_fd() and retrieve_fd() in the |
441 | man page, to emphasize that file descriptors must be passed as |
442 | globs, not as plain strings. |
443 | |
444 | Cannot use SV addresses as tag when using nstore() on LP64. This |
445 | was the cause of problems when creating a storable image on an |
446 | LP64 machine and retrieving it on an ILP32 system, which is |
447 | exactly what nstore() is meant for... |
448 | |
449 | However, we continue to use SV addresses as tags for plain store(), |
450 | because benchamarking shows that it saves up to 8% of the store |
451 | time, and store() is meant to be fast at the expense of lack |
452 | of portability. |
453 | |
454 | This means there will be approximately an 8% degradation of |
455 | performance for nstore(), but it's now working as expected. |
456 | That cost may vary on your machine of course, since it is |
457 | solely caused by the memory allocation overhead used to create |
458 | unique SV tags for each distinct stored SV. |

500 | Forgot that AutoLoader does not export its own AUTOLOAD. |
501 | I could use |
502 | |
503 | use AutoLoader 'AUTOLOAD'; |
504 | |
505 | but that would not be backward compatible. So the export is |
506 | done by hand... |
