NAME

HISTORY - release history for Data::Dumper

DESCRIPTION

2.01beta (10 April 1996)

Minor bugfix (single digit numbers were always getting quoted).

2.00beta (9 April 1996)

Dumpxs is now the exact XSUB equivalent of Dump. The XS version is 4-5 times faster.

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: Data::Dumper::Purity, when set, always triggers quotes around hash keys.

Andreas Koenig <kanna@mind.de> pointed out that handling octals is busted. His patch added.

Dead code removed, other minor documentation fixes.

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.

1.21 (20 Nov 1995)

Last stable version I can remember.
