5 | Removed spurious 'clean' entry in Makefile.PL. |
6 | |
7 | Added CAN_FLOCK to determine whether we can flock() or not, |
8 | by inspecting Perl's configuration parameters, as determined |
9 | by Configure. |
10 | |
11 | Trace offending package when overloading cannot be restored |
12 | on a scalar. |
13 | |
14 | Made context cleanup safer to avoid dup freeing, mostly in the |
15 | presence of repeated exceptions during store/retrieve (which can |
16 | cause memory leaks anyway, so it's just additional safety, not a |
17 | definite fix). |

23 | Version 1.0.6. |
24 | |
25 | Fixed severe "object lost" bug for STORABLE_freeze returns, |
26 | when refs to lexicals, taken within the hook, were to be |
27 | serialized by Storable. Enhanced the t/recurse.t test to |
28 | stress hook a little more with refs to lexicals. |

32 | . Description: |
33 | |
34 | Version 1.0.5. |
35 | |
36 | Documented that store() and retrieve() can return undef. |
37 | That is, the error reporting is not always made via exceptions, |
38 | as the paragraph on error reporting was implying. |
39 | |
40 | Auto requires module of blessed ref when STORABLE_thaw misses. |
41 | When the Storable engine looks for the STORABLE_thaw hook and |
42 | does not find it, it now tries to require the package into which |
43 | the blessed reference is. |
44 | |
45 | Just check $^O, in t/lock.t: there's no need to pull the whole |
46 | Config module for that. |

51 | |
52 | Version 1.0.3. |
53 | |
54 | Avoid using "tainted" and "dirty" since Perl remaps them via |
55 | cpp (i.e. #define). This is deeply harmful when threading |
56 | is enabled. This concerned both the context structure and |
57 | local variable and argument names. Brrr..., scary! |

80 | Documented that doubles are stored stringified by nstore(). |
81 | |
82 | Added Salvador Ortiz Garcia in CREDITS section, He identified |
83 | a bug in the store hooks and proposed the right fix: the class |
84 | id was allocated too soon. His bug case was also added to |
85 | the regression test suite. |
86 | |
87 | Now only taint retrieved data when source was tainted. A bug |
88 | discovered by Marc Lehmann. |
89 | |

125 | . Description: |
126 | |
127 | Marc Lehmann kindly contributed code to add overloading support |
128 | and to handle references to tied variables. |
129 | |
130 | Rewrote leading blurb about compatibility to make it clearer what |
131 | "backward compatibility" is about: when I say 0.7 is backward |
132 | compatible with 0.6, it means the revision 0.7 can read files |
133 | produced by 0.6. |
134 | |
135 | Mention new Clone(3) extension in SEE ALSO. |
136 | |
137 | Was wrongly optimizing for "undef" values in hashes by not |
138 | fully recursing: as a result, tied "undef" values were incorrectly |
139 | serialized. |
140 | |
141 | Sun Jul 30 12:59:17 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> |
142 | |
143 | First revision of Storable 0.7. |
144 | |
145 | The serializing format is new, known as version 2.0. It is fully |
146 | backward compatible with 0.6. Earlier formats are deprecated and |
147 | have not even been tested: next version will drop pre-0.6 format. |
148 | |
149 | Changes since 0.6@11: |
150 | |
151 | - Moved interface to the "beta" status. Some tiny parts are still |
152 | subject to change, but nothing important enough to warrant an "alpha" |
153 | status any longer. |
154 | |
155 | - Slightly reduced the size of the Storable image by factorizing |
156 | object class names and removing final object storage notification due |
157 | to a redesign of the blessed object storing. |
158 | |
159 | - Classes can now redefine how they wish their instances to be serialized |
160 | and/or deep cloned. Serializing hooks are written in Perl code. |
161 | |
162 | - The engine is now fully re-entrant. |

166 | . Description: |
167 | |
168 | Added provision to detect more recent binary formats, since |
169 | the new upcoming Storable-0.7 will use a different format. |
170 | In order to prevent attempting the de-serialization of newer |
171 | formats by older versions, I'm adding this now to the 0.6 series. |
172 | |
173 | I'm expecting this revision to be the last of the 0.6 series. |
174 | Unless it does not work with perl 5.6, which I don't use yet, |
175 | and therefore against which I cannot test. |

178 | |
179 | . Description: |
180 | |
181 | Added note about format incompatibilities with old versions |
182 | (i.e. pre 0.5@9 formats, which cannot be understood as there |
183 | was no versionning information in the file by then). |
184 | |
185 | Protect all $@ variables when eval {} used, to avoid corrupting |
186 | it when store/retrieve is called within an exception handler. |
187 | |
188 | Mistakenly included "patchlevel.h" instead of <patchlevel.h>, |
189 | preventing Perl's patchlevel from being included, which is |
190 | needed starting from 5.6. |

220 | especially on Win32 platforms. |

250 | . Description: |
251 | |
252 | Updated benchmark figures due to recent optimizations done in |
253 | store(): tagnums are now stored as-is in the hash table, so |
254 | no surrounding SV is created. And the "shared keys" mode for |
255 | hash table was turned off. |
256 | |
257 | Fixed backward compatibility (wrt 0.5@9) for retrieval of |
258 | blessed refs. That old version did something wrong, but the |
259 | bugfix prevented correct retrieval of the old format. |

271 | |
272 | . Description: |
273 | |
274 | Added workaround for persistent LVALUE-ness in perl5.004. All |
275 | scalars tagged as being an lvalue are handled as if they were |
276 | not an lvalue at all. Added test for that LVALUE bug workaround. |
277 | |
278 | Now handles Perl immortal scalars explicitely, by storing &sv_yes |
279 | as such, explicitely. |
280 | |
281 | Retrieval of non-immortal undef cannot be shared. Previous |
282 | version was over-optimizing by not creating a separate SV for |
283 | all undefined scalars seen. |

286 | |
287 | . Description: |
288 | |
289 | Baseline for Storable-0.6@0. |
290 | |
291 | This version introduces a binary incompatibility in the generated |
292 | binary image, which is more compact than older ones by approximatively |
293 | 15%, depending on the exact degree of sharing in your structures. |
294 | |
295 | The good news is that your older images can still be retrieved with |
296 | this version, i.e. backward compatibility is preserved. This version |
297 | of Storable can only generate new binaries however. |
298 | |
299 | Another good news is that the retrieval of data structure is |
300 | significantly quicker than before, because a Perl array is used |
301 | instead of a hash table to keep track of retrieved objects, and |
302 | also because the image being smaller, less I/O function calls are |
303 | made. |

307 | . Description: |
308 | |
309 | Version number now got from Storable.pm directly. |
310 | |
311 | Fixed overzealous sv_type() optimization, which would make |
312 | Storable fail when faced with an "upgraded" SV to the PVIV |
313 | or PVNV kind containing a reference. |
314 | |
315 | Thu Apr 30 15:11:30 METDST 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> |

317 | . Description: |
318 | |
319 | Extended the SYNOPSIS section to give quick overview of the |
320 | routines and their signature. |
321 | |
322 | Optimized sv_type() to avoid flags checking when not needed, i.e. |
323 | when their type makes it impossible for them to be refs or tied. |
324 | This slightly increases throughput by a few percents when refs |
325 | and tied variables are marginal occurrences in your data. |
326 | |
327 | Stubs for XS now use OutputStream and InputStream file types to |
328 | make it work when the given file is actually a socket. Perl |
329 | makes a distinction for sockets in its internal I/O structures |
330 | by having both a read and a write structure, whereas plain files |
331 | share the same one. |

336 | |

349 | . Description: |
350 | |
351 | Wrote sizeof(SV *) instead of sizeof(I32) when portable, which |
352 | in effect mangled the object tags and prevented portability |
353 | accross 32/64 bit architectures! |
354 | |
355 | Wed Mar 25 14:57:02 MET 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> |
356 | |
357 | . Description: |
358 | |
359 | Added code example for store_fd() and retrieve_fd() in the |
360 | man page, to emphasize that file descriptors must be passed as |
361 | globs, not as plain strings. |
362 | |
363 | Cannot use SV addresses as tag when using nstore() on LP64. This |
364 | was the cause of problems when creating a storable image on an |
365 | LP64 machine and retrieving it on an ILP32 system, which is |
366 | exactly what nstore() is meant for... |
367 | |
368 | However, we continue to use SV addresses as tags for plain store(), |
369 | because benchamarking shows that it saves up to 8% of the store |
370 | time, and store() is meant to be fast at the expense of lack |
371 | of portability. |
372 | |
373 | This means there will be approximately an 8% degradation of |
374 | performance for nstore(), but it's now working as expected. |
375 | That cost may vary on your machine of course, since it is |
376 | solely caused by the memory allocation overhead used to create |
377 | unique SV tags for each distinct stored SV. |
