2 | Version 3.06 | |

4 | * support large object ids. The code in theory supported arrays | |
5 | with more than 2**32 elements, but references to the elements | |
6 | emitted at the end of the array with be retrieved as references to | |
7 | the wrong elements. | |
8 | * 32-bit object ids over 2**31-1 weren't correctly handled. | |
9 | * hook object id generation now supports 64-bit ids where needed | |
10 | * writing 64-bit lengths in network order now works | |
11 | * reading 64-bit lengths in network order now reads the components | |
12 | in the correct order. | |
13 | * retrieving large object tags are now only handled on 64-bit | |
14 | platforms, large object tags should only be emitted for objects | |
15 | that are too large for the 32-bit address space, so it was only | |
16 | wasted code. | |
17 | * reading 32-bit lengths for LSCALAR and LUTF8STR as unsigned | |
18 | (perl #131990) | |
19 | * reading flagged large object hashes didn't read the flags | |
20 | * treat the 32-bit size of hook data as unsigned, values over 2GB | |
21 | were treated as large (close to 2**64) parameters to NEWSV(). | |
22 | (perl #131999) | |
23 | * added support for hook data over 4GB in size | |
24 | * zero length data receievd from STORABLE_freeze() no longer | |
25 | results in an invalid SV being passed to STORABLE_thaw/_attach() | |
26 | (perl #118551) | |
27 | * where practical, padding is now cleared when emitting a long | |
28 | double (perl #131136) | |
29 | * cache the value of $Storable::DEBUGME (since cperl enabled | |
30 | Storable TRACEME builds for all -DDEBUGGING builds) | |
31 | * no longer discard exceptions thrown by | |
32 | STORABLE_freeze/_thaw/attach() (perl #25933) | |
33 | * fix dependencies used to build Storable.pm from __Storable__.pm | |
34 | * add experimental support for freezing/thawing regular | |
35 | expressions (perl #50608) | |
36 | * re-work recursion limiting to store the limit in a perl variable | |
37 | instead of baked into Storable.$so. This allows static Storable | |
38 | builds to work, and avoids the kind of circular reference on | |
39 | Storable.$so. | |

123 | * Protect against stack overflows with nested arrays and hashes | |
124 | [cpan #97526]. This imposes a new limit to your nested structures, | |
125 | but JSON::XS has a limit of 512. We use a max_depth of 3000 for the | |
126 | typical stack limit of 8k. | |

289 | ||
290 | Version 2.13 | |
291 | ||
292 | 1. Don't change the type of top level overloaded references to RV - | |
293 | they are perfectly correct as PVMG | |
294 | 2. Storable needs to cope with incoming frozen data that happens to be | |
295 | utf8 encoded. | |

300 | ||
754c00ca | 301 | 1. Add regression tests for the auto-require of STORABLE_thaw |

307 | Version 2.11 | |
308 | ||
309 | 1. Storing restricted hashes in canonical order would SEGV. Fixed. | |
310 | 2. It was impossible to retrieve references to PL_sv_no and and | |
311 | PL_sv_undef from STORABLE_thaw hooks. | |
312 | 3. restrict.t was failing on 5.8.0, due to 5.8.0's unique | |
313 | implementation of restricted hashes using PL_sv_undef | |
314 | 4. These changes allow a space optimisation for restricted hashes. | |

319 | ||
320 | 1. Thread safety: Storable::CLONE/init_perlinterp() now create | |
321 | a new Perl context for each new ithread. | |
322 | (From Stas Bekman and Jan Dubois.) | |
323 | 2. Fix a tag count mismatch with $Storable::Deparse that caused | |
324 | all back-references after a stored sub to be off-by-N (where | |
325 | N was the number of code references in between). | |
326 | (From Sam Vilain.) | |

342 | Version 2.08 | |
343 | ||
344 | This release works around a 5.8.0 bug which caused hashes to not | |
345 | be marked as having key flags even though an HEK had HEK_WASUTF8 | |
346 | set. (Note that the only reasonable solution is to silently drop | |
347 | the flag from the affected key.) | |
348 | ||
349 | Users of RT 3 who were seeing assertion failures should upgrade. | |
350 | (Perl 5.8.1 will have the bug fixed.) | |

365 | runs without warnings in 5.004 (this may be a 5.00405 bug I'm working | |
366 | round) | |
367 | Fix t/integer.t initialisation to actually generate 64 bits of 9c | |
368 | Fix comparison tests to use eval to get around 64 bit IV conversion | |
369 | issues on 5.6.x, following my t/integer.t ^ precedence bug found by | |
370 | Rafael Garcia-Suarez | |
371 | Alter t/malice.t to work with Test/More.pm in t/, and skip individual | |
372 | subtests that use $Config{ptrsize}, so that the rest of the test can | |
373 | now be run with 5.004 | |
374 | Change t/malice.t and the error message in check_magic in Storable.xs | |
375 | from "Pointer integer size" to "Pointer size" | |
376 | Remove prerequisite of Test::More from Makefile.PL | |
377 | Ship Test::Builder, Test::Simple and Test::More in t | |

390 | Bug fix from Radu Greab <radu@netsoft.ro> (plus regression test) | |
391 | to fix a recently introduced bug detected by Dave Rolsky. | |
392 | Bug was that for a non threaded build, the class information was | |
393 | being lost at freeze time on the first object with a STORABLE_freeze | |
394 | hook. Consequentially the object was not blessed at all when thawed. | |
395 | (The presence (or lack) of STORABLE_thaw was irrelevant; this was | |
396 | a store-time data lost bug, caused by failure to initialize internal | |
397 | context) | |
398 | The bug was introduced as development perl change 16442 (on | |
399 | 2002/05/07), so has been present since 2.00. | |
400 | Patches to introduce more regression tests to reduce the chance of | |
a9ccbcd7 | 401 | a reoccurrence of this sort of goof are always welcome. |

405 | Version 2.03 Header changes on 5.6.x on Unix where IV is long long |
406 | ||
407 | 5.6.x introduced the ability to have IVs as long long. However, | |
408 | Configure still defined BYTEORDER based on the size of a long. | |
409 | Storable uses the BYTEORDER value as part of the header, but | |
c4a6f826 | 410 | doesn't explicitly store sizeof(IV) anywhere in the header. |
8932d55c AMS |
411 | Hence on 5.6.x built with IV as long long on a platform that |
412 | uses Configure (ie most things except VMS and Windows) headers | |
413 | are identical for the different IV sizes, despite the files | |
414 | containing some fields based on sizeof(IV) | |
415 | ||
416 | 5.8.0 is consistent; all platforms have BYTEORDER in config.h | |
417 | based on sizeof(IV) rather than sizeof(long). This means that | |
418 | the value of BYTEORDER will change from (say) 4321 to 87654321 | |
419 | between 5.6.1 and 5.8.0 built with the same options to Configure | |
420 | on the same machine. This means that the Storable header will | |
421 | differ, and the two versions will wrongly thing that they are | |
422 | incompatible. | |
423 | ||
424 | For the benefit of long term consistency, Storable now | |
425 | implements the 5.8.0 BYTEORDER policy on 5.6.x. This means that | |
426 | 2.03 onwards default to be incompatible with 2.02 and earlier | |
427 | (ie the large 1.0.x installed base) on the same 5.6.x perl. | |
428 | ||
429 | To allow interworking, a new variable | |
430 | $Storable::interwork_56_64bit is introduced. It defaults to | |
431 | false. Set it to true to read and write old format files. Don't | |
432 | use it unless you have existing stored data written with 5.6.x | |
433 | that you couldn't otherwise read, or you need to interwork with | |
434 | a machine running older Storable on a 5.6.x with long long IVs | |
435 | (i.e., you probably don't need to use it). | |

439 | Version 2.02 |
440 | ||
441 | Rewrite Storable.xs so that the file header structure for write_magic | |
442 | is built at compile time, and check_magic attempts to the header in | |
443 | blocks rather than byte per byte. These changes make the compiled | |
444 | extension 2.25% smaller, but are not significant enough to give a | |
445 | noticeable speed up. | |

449 | Version 2.01 |
450 | ||
451 | - New regression tests integer.t | |
452 | - Add code to safely store large unsigned integers. | |
453 | - Change code not to attempt to store large integers (ie > 32 bits) | |
454 | in network order as 32 bits. | |
455 | ||
456 | *Never* underestimate the value of a pathological test suite carefully | |
457 | crafted with maximum malice before writing a line of real code. It | |
458 | prevents crafty bugs from stowing away in your released code. | |
459 | It's much less embarrassing to find them before you ship. | |

464 | Version 2.0, binary format 2.5 (but writes format 2.4 on pre 5.7.3) |
465 | ||
466 | The perl5 porters have decided to make sure that Storable still | |
467 | builds on pre-5.8 perls, and make the 5.8 version available on CPAN. | |
468 | The VERSION is now 2.0, and it passes all tests on 5.005_03, 5.6.1 | |
469 | and 5.6.1 with threads. On 5.6.0 t/downgrade.t fails tests 34 and 37, | |
470 | due to a bug in 5.6.0 - upgrade to 5.6.1. | |
471 | ||
472 | Jarkko and I have collated the list of changes the perl5 porters have | |
473 | from the perl5 Changes file: | |
474 | ||
475 | - data features of upcoming perl 5.8.0 are supported: Unicode hash | |
476 | keys (Unicode hash values have been supported since Storable 1.0.1) | |
477 | and "restricted hashes" (readonly hashes and hash entries) | |
478 | - a newer version of perl can now be used to serialize data which is | |
479 | not supported in earlier perls: Storable will attempt to do the | |
480 | right thing for as long as possible, croaking only when safe data | |
481 | conversion simply isn't possible. Alternatively earlier perls can | |
482 | opt to have a lossy downgrade data instead of croaking | |
483 | - when built with perls pre 5.7.3 this Storable writes out files | |
484 | with binary format 2.4, the same format as Storable 1.0.8 onwards. | |
485 | This should mean that this Storable will inter-operate seamlessly | |
486 | with any Storable 1.0.8 or newer on perls pre 5.7.3 | |
487 | - dclone() now works with empty string scalar objects | |
488 | - retrieving of large hashes is now more efficient | |
489 | - more routines autosplit out of the main module, so Storable should | |
490 | load slightly more quickly | |
491 | - better documentation | |
492 | - the internal context objects are now freed explicitly, rather than | |
493 | relying on thread or process exit | |
494 | - bugs fixed in debugging trace code affecting builds made with 64 bit | |
495 | IVs | |
496 | - code tidy-ups to allow clean compiles with more warning options | |
497 | turned on avoid problems with $@ getting corrupted on 5.005_03 if | |
498 | Carp wasn't already loaded | |
499 | - added &show_file_magic, so you can add to /etc/magic and teach | |
500 | Unix's file command about Storable files | |
501 | ||
502 | We plan to keep Storable on CPAN in sync with the Perl core, so | |
503 | if you encounter bugs or other problems building or using Storable, | |
504 | please let us know at perl5-porters@perl.org | |
505 | Patches welcome! | |

509 | This is the LAST maintenance release of the Storable module. |
510 | Indeed, Storable is now part of perl 5.8, and will be maintained | |
511 | as part of Perl. The CPAN module will remain available there | |
512 | for people running pre-5.8 perls. | |
596596d5 | 513 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
514 | Avoid requiring Fcntl upfront, useful to embedded runtimes. |
515 | Use an eval {} for testing, instead of making Storable.pm | |
516 | simply fail its compilation in the BEGIN block. | |
596596d5 | 517 | |
25f64a11 | 518 | store_fd() will now correctly autoflush file if needed. |

563 | Now bless objects ASAP at retrieve time, which is meant to fix |
564 | two bugs: | |
b12202d0 | 565 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
566 | * Indirect references to overloaded object were not able to |
567 | restore overloading if the object was not blessed yet, | |
568 | which was possible since blessing occurred only after the | |
569 | recursive retrieval. | |
b12202d0 | 570 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
571 | * Storable hooks asking for serialization of blessed ref could |
572 | get un-blessed refs at retrieval time, for the very same | |
573 | reason. | |
b12202d0 | 574 | |
25f64a11 | 575 | The fix implemented here was suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons. |
b12202d0 | 576 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
577 | Added support for blessed ref to tied structures. This is the |
578 | cause for the binary format change. | |

25f64a11 AMS |
723 | The serializing format is new, known as version 2.0. It is fully |

25f64a11 AMS |
729 | - Moved interface to the "beta" status. Some tiny parts are still |
730 | subject to change, but nothing important enough to warrant an "alpha" | |
731 | status any longer. | |
7a6a85bf | 732 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
733 | - Slightly reduced the size of the Storable image by factorizing |
734 | object class names and removing final object storage notification due | |
735 | to a redesign of the blessed object storing. | |

744 | Added provision to detect more recent binary formats, since |
745 | the new upcoming Storable-0.7 will use a different format. | |

830 | Added workaround for persistent LVALUE-ness in perl5.004. All |

25f64a11 | 843 | Baseline for Storable-0.6@0. |
7a6a85bf | 844 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
845 | This version introduces a binary incompatibility in the generated |
846 | binary image, which is more compact than older ones by approximatively | |
847 | 15%, depending on the exact degree of sharing in your structures. | |
7a6a85bf | 848 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
849 | The good news is that your older images can still be retrieved with |
850 | this version, i.e. backward compatibility is preserved. This version | |
851 | of Storable can only generate new binaries however. | |
7a6a85bf | 852 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
853 | Another good news is that the retrieval of data structure is |
854 | significantly quicker than before, because a Perl array is used | |
855 | instead of a hash table to keep track of retrieved objects, and | |
856 | also because the image being smaller, less I/O function calls are | |
857 | made. | |

869 | Extended the SYNOPSIS section to give quick overview of the |
870 | routines and their signature. | |
7a6a85bf | 871 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
872 | Optimized sv_type() to avoid flags checking when not needed, i.e. |
873 | when their type makes it impossible for them to be refs or tied. | |
874 | This slightly increases throughput by a few percents when refs | |
875 | and tied variables are marginal occurrences in your data. | |
7a6a85bf | 876 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
877 | Stubs for XS now use OutputStream and InputStream file types to |
878 | make it work when the given file is actually a socket. Perl | |
879 | makes a distinction for sockets in its internal I/O structures | |
880 | by having both a read and a write structure, whereas plain files | |
881 | share the same one. | |

901 | Added code example for store_fd() and retrieve_fd() in the |

7a6a85bf | 904 | |

905 | Cannot use SV addresses as tag when using nstore() on LP64. This |
906 | was the cause of problems when creating a storable image on an | |
907 | LP64 machine and retrieving it on an ILP32 system, which is | |
908 | exactly what nstore() is meant for... | |
7a6a85bf | 909 | |
25f64a11 | 910 | However, we continue to use SV addresses as tags for plain store(), |
c4a6f826 | 911 | because benchmarking shows that it saves up to 8% of the store |
25f64a11 AMS |
912 | time, and store() is meant to be fast at the expense of lack |
913 | of portability. | |
7a6a85bf | 914 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
915 | This means there will be approximately an 8% degradation of |
916 | performance for nstore(), but it's now working as expected. | |
917 | That cost may vary on your machine of course, since it is | |
918 | solely caused by the memory allocation overhead used to create | |
919 | unique SV tags for each distinct stored SV. | |
