Description: + Bug fix from Radu Greab (plus regression test) + to fix a recently introduced bug detected by Dave Rolsky. + Bug was that for a non threaded build, the class information was + being lost at freeze time on the first object with a STORABLE_freeze + hook. Consequentially the object was not blessed at all when thawed. + (The presence (or lack) of STORABLE_thaw was irrelevant; this was + a store-time data lost bug, caused by failure to initialize internal + context) + The bug was introduced as development perl change 16442 (on + 2002/05/07), so has been present since 2.00. + Patches to introduce more regression tests to reduce the chance of + a reoccurance of this sort of goof are always welcome. + +Thu May 30 20:31:08 BST 2002 Nicholas Clark + + Version 2.03 Header changes on 5.6.x on Unix where IV is long long + + 5.6.x introduced the ability to have IVs as long long. However, + Configure still defined BYTEORDER based on the size of a long. + Storable uses the BYTEORDER value as part of the header, but + doesn't explicity store sizeof(IV) anywhere in the header. + Hence on 5.6.x built with IV as long long on a platform that + uses Configure (ie most things except VMS and Windows) headers + are identical for the different IV sizes, despite the files + containing some fields based on sizeof(IV) + + 5.8.0 is consistent; all platforms have BYTEORDER in config.h + based on sizeof(IV) rather than sizeof(long). This means that + the value of BYTEORDER will change from (say) 4321 to 87654321 + between 5.6.1 and 5.8.0 built with the same options to Configure + on the same machine. This means that the Storable header will + differ, and the two versions will wrongly thing that they are + incompatible. + + For the benefit of long term consistency, Storable now + implements the 5.8.0 BYTEORDER policy on 5.6.x. This means that + 2.03 onwards default to be incompatible with 2.02 and earlier + (ie the large 1.0.x installed base) on the same 5.6.x perl. + + To allow interworking, a new variable + $Storable::interwork_56_64bit is introduced. It defaults to + false. Set it to true to read and write old format files. Don't + use it unless you have existing stored data written with 5.6.x + that you couldn't otherwise read, or you need to interwork with + a machine running older Storable on a 5.6.x with long long IVs + (i.e., you probably don't need to use it). + +Sat May 25 22:38:39 BST 2002 Nicholas Clark + + Version 2.02 + + Rewrite Storable.xs so that the file header structure for write_magic + is built at compile time, and check_magic attempts to the header in + blocks rather than byte per byte. These changes make the compiled + extension 2.25% smaller, but are not significant enough to give a + noticeable speed up. + +Thu May 23 22:50:41 BST 2002 Nicholas Clark + + Version 2.01 + + - New regression tests integer.t + - Add code to safely store large unsigned integers. + - Change code not to attempt to store large integers (ie > 32 bits) + in network order as 32 bits. + + *Never* underestimate the value of a pathological test suite carefully + crafted with maximum malice before writing a line of real code.

Alternatively earlier perls can + opt to have a lossy downgrade data instead of croaking + - when built with perls pre 5.7.3 this Storable writes out files + with binary format 2.4, the same format as Storable 1.0.8 onwards. + This should mean that this Storable will inter-operate seamlessly + with any Storable 1.0.8 or newer on perls pre 5.7.3 + - dclone() now works with empty string scalar objects + - retrieving of large hashes is now more efficient + - more routines autosplit out of the main module, so Storable should + load slightly more quickly + - better documentation + - the internal context objects are now freed explicitly, rather than + relying on thread or process exit + - bugs fixed in debugging trace code affecting builds made with 64 bit + IVs + - code tidy-ups to allow clean compiles with more warning options + turned on avoid problems with $@ getting corrupted on 5.005_03 if + Carp wasn't already loaded + - added &show_file_magic, so you can add to /etc/magic and teach + Unix's file command about Storable files + + We plan to keep Storable on CPAN in sync with the Perl core, so + if you encounter bugs or other problems building or using Storable, + please let us know at perl5-porters@perl.org + Patches welcome! + +Sat Dec 1 14:37:54 MET 2001 Raphael Manfredi + + This is the LAST maintenance release of the Storable module. + Indeed, Storable is now part of perl 5.8, and will be maintained + as part of Perl.
