(Note that the only reasonable solution is to silently drop 412 the flag from the affected key.) 413 414 Users of RT 3 who were seeing assertion failures should upgrade. 415 (Perl 5.8.1 will have the bug fixed.) 416 417Mon May 5 10:24:16 IST 2003 Abhijit Menon-Sen <ams@wiw.org> 418 419 Version 2.07 420 421 Minor bugfixes (self-tied objects are now correctly stored, as 422 are the results of additions larger than INT_MAX). 423 424Mon Oct 7 21:56:38 BST 2002 Nicholas Clark <nick@ccl4.org> 425 426 Version 2.06 427 428 Remove qr// from t/downgrade.t so that it will run on 5.004 429 Mention $File::Spec::VERSION a second time in t/forgive.t so that it 430 runs without warnings in 5.004 (this may be a 5.00405 bug I'm working 431 round) 432 Fix t/integer.t initialisation to actually generate 64 bits of 9c 433 Fix comparison tests to use eval to get around 64 bit IV conversion 434 issues on 5.6.x, following my t/integer.t ^ precedence bug found by 435 Rafael Garcia-Suarez 436 Alter t/malice.t to work with Test/More.pm in t/, and skip individual 437 subtests that use $Config{ptrsize}, so that the rest of the test can 438 now be run with 5.004 439 Change t/malice.t and the error message in check_magic in Storable.xs 440 from "Pointer integer size" to "Pointer size" 441 Remove prerequisite of Test::More from Makefile.PL 442 Ship Test::Builder, Test::Simple and Test::More in t 443 444Thu Oct 3 08:57:22 IST 2002 Abhijit Menon-Sen <ams@wiw.org> 445 446 Version 2.05 447 448 Adds support for CODE references from Slaven Rezic 449 <slaven.rezic@berlin.de>. 450 451Fri Jun 7 23:55:41 BST 2002 Nicholas Clark 452 453 Version 2.04 454 455 Bug fix from Radu Greab <radu@netsoft.ro> (plus regression test) 456 to fix a recently introduced bug detected by Dave Rolsky. 457 Bug was that for a non threaded build, the class information was 458 being lost at freeze time on the first object with a STORABLE_freeze 459 hook. Consequentially the object was not blessed at all when thawed. 460 (The presence (or lack) of STORABLE_thaw was irrelevant; this was 461 a store-time data lost bug, caused by failure to initialize internal 462 context) 463 The bug was introduced as development perl change 16442 (on 464 2002/05/07), so has been present since 2.00. 465 Patches to introduce more regression tests to reduce the chance of 466 a reoccurrence of this sort of goof are always welcome. 467 468Thu May 30 20:31:08 BST 2002 Nicholas Clark <nick@ccl4.org> 469 470 Version 2.03 Header changes on 5.6.x on Unix where IV is long long 471 472 5.6.x introduced the ability to have IVs as long long. However, 473 Configure still defined BYTEORDER based on the size of a long. 474 Storable uses the BYTEORDER value as part of the header, but 475 doesn't explicitly store sizeof(IV) anywhere in the header. 476 Hence on 5.6.x built with IV as long long on a platform that 477 uses Configure (ie most things except VMS and Windows) headers 478 are identical for the different IV sizes, despite the files 479 containing some fields based on sizeof(IV) 480 481 5.8.0 is consistent; all platforms have BYTEORDER in config.h 482 based on sizeof(IV) rather than sizeof(long). This means that 483 the value of BYTEORDER will change from (say) 4321 to 87654321 484 between 5.6.1 and 5.8.0 built with the same options to Configure 485 on the same machine. This means that the Storable header will 486 differ, and the two versions will wrongly thing that they are 487 incompatible. 488 489 For the benefit of long term consistency, Storable now 490 implements the 5.8.0 BYTEORDER policy on 5.6.x. This means that 491 2.03 onwards default to be incompatible with 2.02 and earlier 492 (ie the large 1.0.x installed base) on the same 5.6.x perl. 493 494 To allow interworking, a new variable 495 $Storable::interwork_56_64bit is introduced. It defaults to 496 false. Set it to true to read and write old format files. Don't 497 use it unless you have existing stored data written with 5.6.x 498 that you couldn't otherwise read, or you need to interwork with 499 a machine running older Storable on a 5.6.x with long long IVs 500 (i.e., you probably don't need to use it). 501 502Sat May 25 22:38:39 BST 2002 Nicholas Clark <nick@ccl4.org> 503 504 Version 2.02 505 506 Rewrite Storable.xs so that the file header structure for write_magic 507 is built at compile time, and check_magic attempts to the header in 508 blocks rather than byte per byte. These changes make the compiled 509 extension 2.25% smaller, but are not significant enough to give a 510 noticeable speed up. 511 512Thu May 23 22:50:41 BST 2002 Nicholas Clark <nick@ccl4.org> 513 514 Version 2.01 515 516 - New regression tests integer.t 517 - Add code to safely store large unsigned integers. 518 - Change code not to attempt to store large integers (ie > 32 bits) 519 in network order as 32 bits. 520 521 *Never* underestimate the value of a pathological test suite carefully 522 crafted with maximum malice before writing a line of real code. It 523 prevents crafty bugs from stowing away in your released code. 524 It's much less embarrassing to find them before you ship. 525 (Well, never underestimate it if you ever want to work for me) 526 527Fri May 17 22:48:59 BST 2002 Nicholas Clark <nick@ccl4.org> 528 529 Version 2.0, binary format 2.5 (but writes format 2.4 on pre 5.7.3) 530 531 The perl5 porters have decided to make sure that Storable still 532 builds on pre-5.8 perls, and make the 5.8 version available on CPAN. 533 The VERSION is now 2.0, and it passes all tests on 5.005_03, 5.6.1 534 and 5.6.1 with threads. On 5.6.0 t/downgrade.t fails tests 34 and 37, 535 due to a bug in 5.6.0 - upgrade to 5.6.1. 536 537 Jarkko and I have collated the list of changes the perl5 porters have 538 from the perl5 Changes file: 539 540 - data features of upcoming perl 5.8.0 are supported: Unicode hash 541 keys (Unicode hash values have been supported since Storable 1.0.1) 542 and "restricted hashes" (readonly hashes and hash entries) 543 - a newer version of perl can now be used to serialize data which is 544 not supported in earlier perls: Storable will attempt to do the 545 right thing for as long as possible, croaking only when safe data 546 conversion simply isn't possible. Alternatively earlier perls can 547 opt to have a lossy downgrade data instead of croaking 548 - when built with perls pre 5.7.3 this Storable writes out files 549 with binary format 2.4, the same format as Storable 1.0.8 onwards. 550 This should mean that this Storable will inter-operate seamlessly 551 with any Storable 1.0.8 or newer on perls pre 5.7.3 552 - dclone() now works with empty string scalar objects 553 - retrieving of large hashes is now more efficient 554 - more routines autosplit out of the main module, so Storable should 555 load slightly more quickly 556 - better documentation 557 - the internal context objects are now freed explicitly, rather than 558 relying on thread or process exit 559 - bugs fixed in debugging trace code affecting builds made with 64 bit 560 IVs 561 - code tidy-ups to allow clean compiles with more warning options 562 turned on avoid problems with $@ getting corrupted on 5.005_03 if 563 Carp wasn't already loaded 564 - added &show_file_magic, so you can add to /etc/magic and teach 565 Unix's file command about Storable files 566 567 We plan to keep Storable on CPAN in sync with the Perl core, so 568 if you encounter bugs or other problems building or using Storable, 569 please let us know at perl5-porters@perl.org 570 Patches welcome! 571 572Sat Dec 1 14:37:54 MET 2001 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 573 574 This is the LAST maintenance release of the Storable module. 575 Indeed, Storable is now part of perl 5.8, and will be maintained 576 as part of Perl. The CPAN module will remain available there 577 for people running pre-5.8 perls. 578 579 Avoid requiring Fcntl upfront, useful to embedded runtimes. 580 Use an eval {} for testing, instead of making Storable.pm 581 simply fail its compilation in the BEGIN block. 582 583 store_fd() will now correctly autoflush file if needed. 584 585Tue Aug 28 23:53:20 MEST 2001 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 586 587 Fixed truncation race with lock_retrieve() in lock_store(). 588 The file has to be truncated only once the exclusive lock is held. 589 590 Removed spurious debugging messages in .xs file. 591 592Sun Jul 1 13:27:32 MEST 2001 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 593 594 Systematically use "=over 4" for POD linters. 595 Apparently, POD linters are much stricter than would 596 otherwise be needed, but that's OK. 597 598 Fixed memory corruption on croaks during thaw(). Thanks 599 to Claudio Garcia for reproducing this bug and providing the 600 code to exercise it. Added test cases for this bug, adapted 601 from Claudio's code. 602 603 Made code compile cleanly with -Wall (from Jarkko Hietaniemi). 604 605 Changed tagnum and classnum from I32 to IV in context. Also 606 from Jarkko. 607 608Thu Mar 15 01:22:32 MET 2001 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 609 610 Last version was wrongly compiling with assertions on, due 611 to an edit glitch. That did not cause any problem (apart from 612 a slight performance loss) excepted on Win* platforms, where the 613 assertion code does not compile. 614 615Sat Feb 17 13:37:37 MET 2001 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 616 617 Version 1.0.10. 618 619 Forgot to increase version number at previous patch (there were 620 two of them, which is why we jump from 1.0.8 to 1.0.10). 621 622Sat Feb 17 13:35:00 MET 2001 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 623 624 Version 1.0.8, binary format 2.4. 625 626 Fixed incorrect error message. 627 628 Now bless objects ASAP at retrieve time, which is meant to fix 629 two bugs: 630 631 * Indirect references to overloaded object were not able to 632 restore overloading if the object was not blessed yet, 633 which was possible since blessing occurred only after the 634 recursive retrieval. 635 636 * Storable hooks asking for serialization of blessed ref could 637 get un-blessed refs at retrieval time, for the very same 638 reason. 639 640 The fix implemented here was suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons. 641 642 Added support for blessed ref to tied structures. This is the 643 cause for the binary format change. 644 645 Added EBCDIC version of the compatibility test with 0.6.11, 646 from Peter Prymmer 647 648 Added tests for the new features, and to make sure the bugs they 649 are meant to fix are indeed fixed. 650 651Wed Jan 3 10:43:18 MET 2001 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 652 653 Removed spurious 'clean' entry in Makefile.PL. 654 655 Added CAN_FLOCK to determine whether we can flock() or not, 656 by inspecting Perl's configuration parameters, as determined 657 by Configure. 658 659 Trace offending package when overloading cannot be restored 660 on a scalar. 661 662 Made context cleanup safer to avoid dup freeing, mostly in the 663 presence of repeated exceptions during store/retrieve (which can 664 cause memory leaks anyway, so it's just additional safety, not a 665 definite fix). 666 667Sun Nov 5 18:23:48 MET 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 668 669 Version 1.0.6. 670 671 Fixed severe "object lost" bug for STORABLE_freeze returns, 672 when refs to lexicals, taken within the hook, were to be 673 serialized by Storable. Enhanced the t/recurse.t test to 674 stress hook a little more with refs to lexicals. 675 676Thu Oct 26 19:14:38 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 677 678 Version 1.0.5. 679 680 Documented that store() and retrieve() can return undef. 681 That is, the error reporting is not always made via exceptions, 682 as the paragraph on error reporting was implying. 683 684 Auto requires module of blessed ref when STORABLE_thaw misses. 685 When the Storable engine looks for the STORABLE_thaw hook and 686 does not find it, it now tries to require the package into which 687 the blessed reference is. 688 689 Just check $^O, in t/lock.t: there's no need to pull the whole 690 Config module for that. 691 692Mon Oct 23 20:03:49 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 693 694 Version 1.0.4. 695 696 Protected calls to flock() for DOS platform: apparently, the 697 flock/fcnlt emulation is reported to be broken on that 698 platform. 699 700 Added logcarp emulation if they don't have Log::Agent, since 701 we now use it to carp when lock_store/lock_retrieve is used 702 on DOS. 703 704Fri Sep 29 21:52:29 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 705 706 Version 1.0.3. 707 708 Avoid using "tainted" and "dirty" since Perl remaps them via 709 cpp (i.e. #define). This is deeply harmful when threading 710 is enabled. This concerned both the context structure and 711 local variable and argument names. Brrr..., scary! 712 713Thu Sep 28 23:46:39 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 714 715 Version 1.0.2. 716 717 Fixed spelling in README. 718 719 Added lock_store, lock_nstore, and lock_retrieve (advisory locking) 720 after a proposal from Erik Haugan <erik@solbors.no>. 721 722 Perls before 5.004_04 lack newSVpvn, added remapping in XS. 723 724 Fixed stupid typo in the t/utf8.t test. 725 726Sun Sep 17 18:51:10 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 727 728 Version 1.0.1, binary format 2.3. 729 730 Documented that doubles are stored stringified by nstore(). 731 732 Added Salvador Ortiz Garcia in CREDITS section, He identified 733 a bug in the store hooks and proposed the right fix: the class 734 id was allocated too soon. His bug case was also added to 735 the regression test suite. 736 737 Now only taint retrieved data when source was tainted. A bug 738 discovered by Marc Lehmann. 739 740 Added support for UTF-8 strings, a contribution of Marc Lehmann. 741 This is normally only activated in post-5.6 perls. 742 743Thu Aug 31 23:06:06 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 744 745 First official release Storable 1.0, for inclusion in perl 5.7.0. 746 The license scheme is now compatible with Perl's. 747 748Thu Aug 24 01:02:02 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 749 750 ANSI-fied most of the code, preparing for Perl core integration. 751 The next version of Storable will be 0.8, and will be integrated 752 into the Perl core (development branch). 753 754 Dispatch tables were moved upfront to relieve some compilers, 755 especially on AIX and Windows platforms. 756 757 Merged 64-bit fixes from perl5-porters. 758 759Mon Aug 14 09:22:04 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 760 761 Added a refcnt dec in retrieve_tied_key(): sv_magic() increases 762 the refcnt on the mg_ptr as well. 763 764 Removed spurious dependency to Devel::Peek, which was used for 765 testing only in t/tied_items.t. Thanks to Conrad Heiney 766 <conrad@fringehead.org> for spotting it first. 767 768Sun Aug 13 22:12:59 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 769 770 Marc Lehmann kindly contributed code to add overloading support 771 and to handle references to tied variables. 772 773 Rewrote leading blurb about compatibility to make it clearer what 774 "backward compatibility" is about: when I say 0.7 is backward 775 compatible with 0.6, it means the revision 0.7 can read files 776 produced by 0.6. 777 778 Mention new Clone(3) extension in SEE ALSO. 779 780 Was wrongly optimizing for "undef" values in hashes by not 781 fully recursing: as a result, tied "undef" values were incorrectly 782 serialized. 783 784Sun Jul 30 12:59:17 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 785 786 First revision of Storable 0.7. 787 788 The serializing format is new, known as version 2.0. It is fully 789 backward compatible with 0.6. Earlier formats are deprecated and 790 have not even been tested: next version will drop pre-0.6 format. 791 792 Changes since 0.6@11: 793 794 - Moved interface to the "beta" status. Some tiny parts are still 795 subject to change, but nothing important enough to warrant an "alpha" 796 status any longer. 797 798 - Slightly reduced the size of the Storable image by factorizing 799 object class names and removing final object storage notification due 800 to a redesign of the blessed object storing. 801 802 - Classes can now redefine how they wish their instances to be serialized 803 and/or deep cloned. Serializing hooks are written in Perl code. 804 805 - The engine is now fully re-entrant. 806 807Sun Apr 2 23:47:50 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 808 809 Added provision to detect more recent binary formats, since 810 the new upcoming Storable-0.7 will use a different format. 811 In order to prevent attempting the de-serialization of newer 812 formats by older versions, I'm adding this now to the 0.6 series. 813 814 I'm expecting this revision to be the last of the 0.6 series. 815 Unless it does not work with perl 5.6, which I don't use yet, 816 and therefore against which I cannot test. 817 818Wed Mar 29 19:55:21 MEST 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 819 820 Added note about format incompatibilities with old versions 821 (i.e. pre 0.5@9 formats, which cannot be understood as there 822 was no versionning information in the file by then). 823 824 Protect all $@ variables when eval {} used, to avoid corrupting 825 it when store/retrieve is called within an exception handler. 826 827 Mistakenly included "patchlevel.h" instead of <patchlevel.h>, 828 preventing Perl's patchlevel from being included, which is 829 needed starting from 5.6. 830 831Tue May 12 09:15:15 METDST 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 832 833 Fixed shared "undef" bug in hashes, which did not remain shared 834 through store/retrieve. 835 836Thu Feb 10 19:48:16 MET 2000 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 837 838 added last_op_in_netorder() predicate 839 documented last_op_in_netorder() 840 added tests for the new last_op_in_netorder() predicate 841 842Wed Oct 20 19:07:36 MEST 1999 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 843 844 Forgot to update VERSION 845 846Tue Oct 19 21:25:02 MEST 1999 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 847 848 Added mention of japanese translation for the manual page. 849 850 Fixed typo in macro that made threaded code not compilable, 851 especially on Win32 platforms. 852 853 Changed detection of older perls (pre-5.005) by testing PATCHLEVEL 854 directly instead of relying on internal symbols. 855 856Tue Sep 14 22:13:28 MEST 1999 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 857 858 Integrated "thread-safe" patch from Murray Nesbitt. 859 Note that this may not be very efficient for threaded code, 860 see comment in the code. 861 862 Try to avoid compilation warning on 64-bit CPUs. Can't test it, 863 since I don't have access to such machines. 864 865Mon Jul 12 14:37:19 METDST 1999 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> 866 867 changed my e-mail to pobox. 868 869 mentioned it is not thread-safe. 870 871 updated version number. 872 873 uses new internal PL_* naming convention. 874 875Fri Jul 3 13:38:16 METDST 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 876 877 Updated benchmark figures due to recent optimizations done in 878 store(): tagnums are now stored as-is in the hash table, so 879 no surrounding SV is created. And the "shared keys" mode for 880 hash table was turned off. 881 882 Fixed backward compatibility (wrt 0.5@9) for retrieval of 883 blessed refs. That old version did something wrong, but the 884 bugfix prevented correct retrieval of the old format. 885 886Mon Jun 22 11:00:48 METDST 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 887 888 Changed benchmark figures. 889 890 Adjust refcnt of tied objects after calling sv_magic() to avoid 891 memory leaks. Contributed by Jeff Gresham. 892 893Fri Jun 12 11:50:04 METDST 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 894 895 Added workaround for persistent LVALUE-ness in perl5.004. All 896 scalars tagged as being an lvalue are handled as if they were 897 not an lvalue at all. Added test for that LVALUE bug workaround. 898 899 Now handles Perl immortal scalars explicitly, by storing &sv_yes 900 as such, explicitly. 901 902 Retrieval of non-immortal undef cannot be shared. Previous 903 version was over-optimizing by not creating a separate SV for 904 all undefined scalars seen. 905 906Thu Jun 4 17:21:51 METDST 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 907 908 Baseline for Storable-0.6@0. 909 910 This version introduces a binary incompatibility in the generated 911 binary image, which is more compact than older ones by approximatively 912 15%, depending on the exact degree of sharing in your structures. 913 914 The good news is that your older images can still be retrieved with 915 this version, i.e. backward compatibility is preserved. This version 916 of Storable can only generate new binaries however. 917 918 Another good news is that the retrieval of data structure is 919 significantly quicker than before, because a Perl array is used 920 instead of a hash table to keep track of retrieved objects, and 921 also because the image being smaller, less I/O function calls are 922 made. 923 924Tue May 12 09:15:15 METDST 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 925 926 Version number now got from Storable.pm directly. 927 928 Fixed overzealous sv_type() optimization, which would make 929 Storable fail when faced with an "upgraded" SV to the PVIV 930 or PVNV kind containing a reference. 931 932Thu Apr 30 15:11:30 METDST 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 933 934 Extended the SYNOPSIS section to give quick overview of the 935 routines and their signature. 936 937 Optimized sv_type() to avoid flags checking when not needed, i.e. 938 when their type makes it impossible for them to be refs or tied. 939 This slightly increases throughput by a few percents when refs 940 and tied variables are marginal occurrences in your data. 941 942 Stubs for XS now use OutputStream and InputStream file types to 943 make it work when the given file is actually a socket. Perl 944 makes a distinction for sockets in its internal I/O structures 945 by having both a read and a write structure, whereas plain files 946 share the same one. 947 948Tue Jun 3 09:41:33 METDST 1997 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 949 950 Thanks to a contribution from Benjamin A. Holzman, Storable is now 951 able to correctly serialize tied SVs, i.e. tied arrays, hashes 952 and scalars. 953 954Thu Apr 9 18:07:51 METDST 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 955 956 I said SvPOK() had changed to SvPOKp(), but that was a lie... 957 958Wed Apr 8 13:14:29 METDST 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 959 960 Wrote sizeof(SV *) instead of sizeof(I32) when portable, which 961 in effect mangled the object tags and prevented portability 962 across 32/64 bit architectures! 963 964Wed Mar 25 14:57:02 MET 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 965 966 Added code example for store_fd() and retrieve_fd() in the 967 man page, to emphasize that file descriptors must be passed as 968 globs, not as plain strings. 969 970 Cannot use SV addresses as tag when using nstore() on LP64. This 971 was the cause of problems when creating a storable image on an 972 LP64 machine and retrieving it on an ILP32 system, which is 973 exactly what nstore() is meant for... 974 975 However, we continue to use SV addresses as tags for plain store(), 976 because benchmarking shows that it saves up to 8% of the store 977 time, and store() is meant to be fast at the expense of lack 978 of portability. 979 980 This means there will be approximately an 8% degradation of 981 performance for nstore(), but it's now working as expected. 982 That cost may vary on your machine of course, since it is 983 solely caused by the memory allocation overhead used to create 984 unique SV tags for each distinct stored SV. 985 986Tue Jan 20 09:21:53 MET 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 987 988 Don't use any '_' in version number. 989 990Tue Jan 13 17:51:50 MET 1998 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 991 992 Updated version number. 993 994 added binmode() calls for systems where it matters. 995 996 Be sure to pass globs, not plain file strings, to C routines, 997 so that Storable can be used under the Perl debugger. 998 999Wed Nov 5 10:53:22 MET 1997 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 1000 1001 Fix memory leaks on seen hash table and returned SV refs. 1002 1003 Storable did not work properly when tainting enabled. 1004 1005 Fixed "Allocation too large" messages in freeze/thaw and added. 1006 proper regression test in t/freeze.t. 1007 1008Tue Jun 3 09:41:33 METDST 1997 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 1009 1010 Updated version number 1011 1012 Added freeze/thaw interface and dclone. 1013 1014Fri May 16 10:45:47 METDST 1997 Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@grenoble.hp.com> 1015 1016 Forgot that AutoLoader does not export its own AUTOLOAD. 1017 I could use 1018 1019 use AutoLoader 'AUTOLOAD'; 1020 1021 but that would not be backward compatible.
