101 | Version 2.13 | |
102 | ||
103 | 1. Don't change the type of top level overloaded references to RV - | |

117 | ||
118 | Version 2.11 | |
119 | ||
120 | 1. Storing restricted hashes in canonical order would SEGV. Fixed. | |
121 | 2. It was impossible to retrieve references to PL_sv_no and and | |
122 | PL_sv_undef from STORABLE_thaw hooks. | |
123 | 3. restrict.t was failing on 5.8.0, due to 5.8.0's unique | |
124 | implementation of restricted hashes using PL_sv_undef | |
125 | 4. These changes allow a space optimisation for restricted hashes. | |

129 | Version 2.10 | |
130 | ||
131 | 1. Thread safety: Storable::CLONE/init_perlinterp() now create | |
132 | a new Perl context for each new ithread. | |
133 | (From Stas Bekman and Jan Dubois.) | |
134 | 2. Fix a tag count mismatch with $Storable::Deparse that caused | |
135 | all back-references after a stored sub to be off-by-N (where | |
136 | N was the number of code references in between). | |
137 | (From Sam Vilain.) | |
138 | 3. Prevent CODE references from turning into SCALAR references. | |

152 | ||
153 | Version 2.08 | |
154 | ||
155 | This release works around a 5.8.0 bug which caused hashes to not | |
156 | be marked as having key flags even though an HEK had HEK_WASUTF8 | |
157 | set. (Note that the only reasonable solution is to silently drop | |
158 | the flag from the affected key.) | |
159 | ||
160 | Users of RT 3 who were seeing assertion failures should upgrade. | |
161 | (Perl 5.8.1 will have the bug fixed.) | |

174 | Remove qr// from t/downgrade.t so that it will run on 5.004 | |
175 | Mention $File::Spec::VERSION a second time in t/forgive.t so that it | |
176 | runs without warnings in 5.004 (this may be a 5.00405 bug I'm working | |
177 | round) | |
178 | Fix t/integer.t initialisation to actually generate 64 bits of 9c | |
179 | Fix comparison tests to use eval to get around 64 bit IV conversion | |
180 | issues on 5.6.x, following my t/integer.t ^ precedence bug found by | |
181 | Rafael Garcia-Suarez | |
182 | Alter t/malice.t to work with Test/More.pm in t/, and skip individual | |
183 | subtests that use $Config{ptrsize}, so that the rest of the test can | |
184 | now be run with 5.004 | |
185 | Change t/malice.t and the error message in check_magic in Storable.xs | |
186 | from "Pointer integer size" to "Pointer size" | |
187 | Remove prerequisite of Test::More from Makefile.PL | |
188 | Ship Test::Builder, Test::Simple and Test::More in t | |

199 | Version 2.04 | |
200 | ||
201 | Bug fix from Radu Greab <radu@netsoft.ro> (plus regression test) | |
202 | to fix a recently introduced bug detected by Dave Rolsky. | |
203 | Bug was that for a non threaded build, the class information was | |
204 | being lost at freeze time on the first object with a STORABLE_freeze | |
205 | hook. Consequentially the object was not blessed at all when thawed. | |
206 | (The presence (or lack) of STORABLE_thaw was irrelevant; this was | |
207 | a store-time data lost bug, caused by failure to initialize internal | |
208 | context) | |
209 | The bug was introduced as development perl change 16442 (on | |
210 | 2002/05/07), so has been present since 2.00. | |
211 | Patches to introduce more regression tests to reduce the chance of | |
a9ccbcd7 | 212 | a reoccurrence of this sort of goof are always welcome. |

8932d55c AMS |
216 | Version 2.03 Header changes on 5.6.x on Unix where IV is long long |
217 | ||
218 | 5.6.x introduced the ability to have IVs as long long. However, | |
219 | Configure still defined BYTEORDER based on the size of a long. | |
220 | Storable uses the BYTEORDER value as part of the header, but | |
c4a6f826 | 221 | doesn't explicitly store sizeof(IV) anywhere in the header. |
8932d55c AMS |
222 | Hence on 5.6.x built with IV as long long on a platform that |
223 | uses Configure (ie most things except VMS and Windows) headers | |
224 | are identical for the different IV sizes, despite the files | |
225 | containing some fields based on sizeof(IV) | |
226 | ||
227 | 5.8.0 is consistent; all platforms have BYTEORDER in config.h | |
228 | based on sizeof(IV) rather than sizeof(long). This means that | |
229 | the value of BYTEORDER will change from (say) 4321 to 87654321 | |
230 | between 5.6.1 and 5.8.0 built with the same options to Configure | |
231 | on the same machine. This means that the Storable header will | |
232 | differ, and the two versions will wrongly thing that they are | |
233 | incompatible. | |
234 | ||
235 | For the benefit of long term consistency, Storable now | |
236 | implements the 5.8.0 BYTEORDER policy on 5.6.x. This means that | |
237 | 2.03 onwards default to be incompatible with 2.02 and earlier | |
238 | (ie the large 1.0.x installed base) on the same 5.6.x perl. | |
239 | ||
240 | To allow interworking, a new variable | |
241 | $Storable::interwork_56_64bit is introduced. It defaults to | |
242 | false. Set it to true to read and write old format files. Don't | |
243 | use it unless you have existing stored data written with 5.6.x | |
244 | that you couldn't otherwise read, or you need to interwork with | |
245 | a machine running older Storable on a 5.6.x with long long IVs | |
246 | (i.e., you probably don't need to use it). | |

249 | ||
25f64a11 AMS |
250 | Version 2.02 |
251 | ||
252 | Rewrite Storable.xs so that the file header structure for write_magic | |
253 | is built at compile time, and check_magic attempts to the header in | |
254 | blocks rather than byte per byte. These changes make the compiled | |
255 | extension 2.25% smaller, but are not significant enough to give a | |
256 | noticeable speed up. | |

259 | ||
25f64a11 AMS |
260 | Version 2.01 |
261 | ||
262 | - New regression tests integer.t | |
263 | - Add code to safely store large unsigned integers. | |
264 | - Change code not to attempt to store large integers (ie > 32 bits) | |
265 | in network order as 32 bits. | |
266 | ||
267 | *Never* underestimate the value of a pathological test suite carefully | |
268 | crafted with maximum malice before writing a line of real code. It | |
269 | prevents crafty bugs from stowing away in your released code. | |
270 | It's much less embarrassing to find them before you ship. | |

25f64a11 AMS |
275 | Version 2.0, binary format 2.5 (but writes format 2.4 on pre 5.7.3) |
276 | ||
277 | The perl5 porters have decided to make sure that Storable still | |
278 | builds on pre-5.8 perls, and make the 5.8 version available on CPAN. | |
279 | The VERSION is now 2.0, and it passes all tests on 5.005_03, 5.6.1 | |
280 | and 5.6.1 with threads. On 5.6.0 t/downgrade.t fails tests 34 and 37, | |
281 | due to a bug in 5.6.0 - upgrade to 5.6.1. | |
282 | ||
283 | Jarkko and I have collated the list of changes the perl5 porters have | |
284 | from the perl5 Changes file: | |
285 | ||
286 | - data features of upcoming perl 5.8.0 are supported: Unicode hash | |
287 | keys (Unicode hash values have been supported since Storable 1.0.1) | |
288 | and "restricted hashes" (readonly hashes and hash entries) | |
289 | - a newer version of perl can now be used to serialize data which is | |
290 | not supported in earlier perls: Storable will attempt to do the | |
291 | right thing for as long as possible, croaking only when safe data | |
292 | conversion simply isn't possible. Alternatively earlier perls can | |
293 | opt to have a lossy downgrade data instead of croaking | |
294 | - when built with perls pre 5.7.3 this Storable writes out files | |
295 | with binary format 2.4, the same format as Storable 1.0.8 onwards. | |
296 | This should mean that this Storable will inter-operate seamlessly | |
297 | with any Storable 1.0.8 or newer on perls pre 5.7.3 | |
298 | - dclone() now works with empty string scalar objects | |
299 | - retrieving of large hashes is now more efficient | |
300 | - more routines autosplit out of the main module, so Storable should | |
301 | load slightly more quickly | |
302 | - better documentation | |
303 | - the internal context objects are now freed explicitly, rather than | |
304 | relying on thread or process exit | |
305 | - bugs fixed in debugging trace code affecting builds made with 64 bit | |
306 | IVs | |
307 | - code tidy-ups to allow clean compiles with more warning options | |
308 | turned on avoid problems with $@ getting corrupted on 5.005_03 if | |
309 | Carp wasn't already loaded | |
310 | - added &show_file_magic, so you can add to /etc/magic and teach | |
311 | Unix's file command about Storable files | |
312 | ||
313 | We plan to keep Storable on CPAN in sync with the Perl core, so | |
314 | if you encounter bugs or other problems building or using Storable, | |
315 | please let us know at perl5-porters@perl.org | |
316 | Patches welcome! | |

320 | This is the LAST maintenance release of the Storable module. |
321 | Indeed, Storable is now part of perl 5.8, and will be maintained | |
322 | as part of Perl. The CPAN module will remain available there | |
323 | for people running pre-5.8 perls. | |
596596d5 | 324 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
325 | Avoid requiring Fcntl upfront, useful to embedded runtimes. |
326 | Use an eval {} for testing, instead of making Storable.pm | |
327 | simply fail its compilation in the BEGIN block. | |
596596d5 | 328 | |
25f64a11 | 329 | store_fd() will now correctly autoflush file if needed. |

7a6a85bf | 533 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
534 | The serializing format is new, known as version 2.0. It is fully |

7a6a85bf | 539 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
540 | - Moved interface to the "beta" status. Some tiny parts are still |
541 | subject to change, but nothing important enough to warrant an "alpha" | |
542 | status any longer. | |
7a6a85bf | 543 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
544 | - Slightly reduced the size of the Storable image by factorizing |
545 | object class names and removing final object storage notification due | |
546 | to a redesign of the blessed object storing. | |
7a6a85bf | 547 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
548 | - Classes can now redefine how they wish their instances to be serialized |
549 | and/or deep cloned. Serializing hooks are written in Perl code. | |
7a6a85bf | 550 | |
25f64a11 | 551 | - The engine is now fully re-entrant. |

555 | Added provision to detect more recent binary formats, since |
556 | the new upcoming Storable-0.7 will use a different format. | |
557 | In order to prevent attempting the de-serialization of newer | |

7a6a85bf | 559 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
560 | I'm expecting this revision to be the last of the 0.6 series. |

7a6a85bf | 655 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
656 | This version introduces a binary incompatibility in the generated |
657 | binary image, which is more compact than older ones by approximatively | |
658 | 15%, depending on the exact degree of sharing in your structures. | |
7a6a85bf | 659 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
660 | The good news is that your older images can still be retrieved with |
661 | this version, i.e. backward compatibility is preserved. This version | |
662 | of Storable can only generate new binaries however. | |
7a6a85bf | 663 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
664 | Another good news is that the retrieval of data structure is |
665 | significantly quicker than before, because a Perl array is used | |
666 | instead of a hash table to keep track of retrieved objects, and | |
667 | also because the image being smaller, less I/O function calls are | |
668 | made. | |

7a6a85bf | 682 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
683 | Optimized sv_type() to avoid flags checking when not needed, i.e. |
684 | when their type makes it impossible for them to be refs or tied. | |
685 | This slightly increases throughput by a few percents when refs | |

25f64a11 AMS |
688 | Stubs for XS now use OutputStream and InputStream file types to |
689 | make it work when the given file is actually a socket. Perl | |
690 | makes a distinction for sockets in its internal I/O structures | |

25f64a11 | 721 | However, we continue to use SV addresses as tags for plain store(), |
c4a6f826 | 722 | because benchmarking shows that it saves up to 8% of the store |
25f64a11 AMS |
723 | time, and store() is meant to be fast at the expense of lack |
724 | of portability. | |
7a6a85bf | 725 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
726 | This means there will be approximately an 8% degradation of |
727 | performance for nstore(), but it's now working as expected. | |
728 | That cost may vary on your machine of course, since it is | |
729 | solely caused by the memory allocation overhead used to create | |
730 | unique SV tags for each distinct stored SV. | |

742 | Be sure to pass globs, not plain file strings, to C routines, |

762 | Forgot that AutoLoader does not export its own AUTOLOAD. |
763 | I could use | |
7a6a85bf | 764 | |
25f64a11 AMS |
765 | use AutoLoader 'AUTOLOAD'; |
766 | ||
767 | but that would not be backward compatible. So the export is | |
768 | done by hand... | |
