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). |

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. |

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! |

97 | |
98 | Added lock_store, lock_nstore, and lock_retrieve (advisory locking) |
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. |

156 | . Description: |
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. |

251 | especially on Win32 platforms. |

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. |

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. |

338 | . Description: |
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. |

348 | . Description: |
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! |

387 | |
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. |
