Fixes dump of -dummy coderefs. - -=item 2.10 (31 Oct 1998) - -Bugfixes for dumping related undef values, globs, and better double -quoting: three patches suggested by Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no>. - -Escaping of single quotes in the XS version could get tripped up -by the presence of nulls in the string. Fix suggested by -Slaven Rezic <eserte@cs.tu-berlin.de>. - -Rather large scale reworking of the logic in how seen values -are stashed. Anonymous scalars that may be encountered while -traversing the structure are properly tracked, in case they become -used in data dumped in a later pass. There used to be a problem -with the previous logic that prevented such structures from being -dumped correctly. - -Various additions to the testsuite. - -=item 2.09 (9 July 1998) - -Implement $Data::Dumper::Bless, suggested by Mark Daku <daku@nortel.ca>. - -=item 2.081 (15 January 1998) - -Minor release to fix Makefile.PL not accepting MakeMaker args. - -=item 2.08 (7 December 1997) - -Glob dumps don't output superflous 'undef' anymore. - -Fixes from Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no> to make Dumper() work with -overloaded strings in recent perls, and his new testsuite. - -require 5.004. - -A separate flag to always quote hash keys (on by default). - -Recreating known CODE refs is now better supported. - -Changed flawed constant SCALAR bless workaround. - -=item 2.07 (7 December 1996) - -Dumpxs output is now exactly the same as Dump. It still doesn't -honor C<Useqq> though. - -Regression tests test for identical output and C<eval>-ability. - -Bug in *GLOB{THING} output fixed. - -Other small enhancements. - -=item 2.06 (2 December 1996) - -Bugfix that was serious enough for new release--the bug cripples -MLDBM. Problem was "Attempt to modify readonly value..." failures -that stemmed for a misguided SvPV_force() instead of a SvPV().) - -=item 2.05 (2 December 1996) - -Fixed the type mismatch that was causing Dumpxs test to fail -on 64-bit platforms. - -GLOB elements are dumped now when C<Purity> is set (using the -*GLOB{THING} syntax). - -The C<Freezer> option can be set to a method name to call -before probing objects for dumping. Some applications: objects with -external data, can re-bless themselves into a transitional package; -Objects the maintain ephemeral state (like open files) can put -additional information in the object to facilitate persistence. - -The corresponding C<Toaster> option, if set, specifies -the method call that will revive the frozen object. - -The C<Deepcopy> flag has been added to do just that. - -Dumper does more aggressive cataloging of SCALARs encountered -within ARRAY/HASH structures. Thanks to Norman Gaywood -<norm@godel.une.edu.au> for reporting the problem. - -Objects that C<overload> the '""' operator are now handled -properly by the C<Dump> method. - -Significant additions to the testsuite. - -More documentation. - -=item 2.04beta (28 August 1996) - -Made dump of glob names respect C<Useqq> setting. - -[@$%] are now escaped now when in double quotes. - -=item 2.03beta (26 August 1996) - -Fixed Dumpxs. It was appending trailing nulls to globnames. -(reported by Randal Schwartz <merlyn@teleport.com>). - -Calling the C<Indent()> method on a dumper object now correctly -resets the internal separator (reported by Curt Tilmes -<curt@ltpmail.gsfc.nasa.gov>). - -New C<Terse> option to suppress the 'C<VARI<n> = >' prefix -introduced. If the option is set, they are output only when -absolutely essential. - -The C<Useqq> flag is supported (but not by the XSUB version -yet). - -Embedded nulls in keys are now handled properly by Dumpxs. - -Dumper.xs now use various integer types in perl.h (should -make it compile without noises on 64 bit platforms, although -I haven't been able to test this). - -All the dump methods now return a list of strings in a list -context. - - -=item 2.02beta (13 April 1996) - -Non portable sprintf usage in XS code fixed (thanks to -Ulrich Pfeifer <pfeifer@charly.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>). - - -=item 2.01beta (10 April 1996) - -Minor bugfix (single digit numbers were always getting quoted). - - -=item 2.00beta (9 April 1996) - -C<Dumpxs> is now the exact XSUB equivalent of C<Dump>. The XS version -is 4-5 times faster. - -C<require 5.002>. - -MLDBM example removed (as its own module, it has a separate CPAN -reality now). - -Fixed bugs in handling keys with wierd characters. Perl can be -tripped up in its implicit quoting of the word before '=>'. The -fix: C<Data::Dumper::Purity>, when set, always triggers quotes -around hash keys. - -Andreas Koenig <k@anna.in-berlin.de> pointed out that handling octals -is busted. His patch added. - -Dead code removed, other minor documentation fixes. - - -=item 1.23 (3 Dec 1995) - -MLDBM example added. - -Several folks pointed out that quoting of ticks and backslashes -in strings is missing. Added. - -Ian Phillips <ian@pipex.net> pointed out that numerics may lose -precision without quotes. Fixed. - - -=item 1.21 (20 Nov 1995) - -Last stable version I can remember. - -=back - -=cut |
