Revision history for Perl extension XML::Dumper.
0.74 Sun Jun 19 12:35:20 PDT 2005
- Included a patch developed by Lasse Makholm which prevented
evaluation of tainted xml. Thanks again to Lasse for his
vigilence and care!
0.73 Thu Jun 2 01:57:54 PDT 2005
- Included a patch developed by Lasse Makholm which corrected a stupid
but subtle mistake on my part on requiring modules. Thanks to
Lasse for the patch and his incredible patience.
0.72 Thu Jun 2 01:43:35 PDT 2005
- Addressed an issue brought up by Emery Ford where intermediate Perl
data was generating not well-formed XML due to control characters.
XML::Dumper now filters out control characters. IF YOU NEED
CONTROL CHARACTERS OR OTHER NON-TEXT INFORMATION, BE SURE TO
ENCODE THE INFORMATION. Thanks to Emery for the submitted patch.
- I've survived my first year of graduate school and will dig up all
those patches that people have submitted to me. Sorry if you've
tried to get a hold of me over this past year, it's been busy!
0.71 Mon Feb 2 22:45:33 PST 2004
- Fixed a backwards-compatibility issue with 0.40 and <hash> vs. <hashref>
bug report by Jon Lapham, who also suggested the fix. <hash> is still
wrong, but for the sake of backwards-compatibility, I'm not going to
argue about who killed who. In the interest of forward progression,
<hash> will be converted (correctly) to <hashref> on writing.
- Added test 10_backwards_compatible.t
- Fixed the MANIFEST to include t/09_repeated_references.t
- Re-named 'profile.pl' to 'profile' per suggestion from CPAN testers
0.70 Tue Jan 27 15:07:50 PST 2004
- Fixed a bug sent in by Alex Pavlovic which demonstrated that re-used
memory addresses weren't being properly implemented for hashes. See
t/09_repeated_references.t for an example.
0.69 Sun Oct 5 10:51:27 PDT 2003
- Figured out a kooky method to discover whether or not a package is
loaded and added a feature to automatically attempt to load that
package. We'll see if anyone likes this.
- Added a patch sent in by Pekka Marjola which adds utf8-compatibility.
0.68 Thu Aug 28 07:33:32 PDT 2003
- Found bug where compression tests run even if compression is not
available. Removed bug.
0.67 Tue Aug 19 02:45:55 PDT 2003
- Broke tests out to document the tests and group similar tests together.
Numbered tests reflect feature additions; named tests reflect bug
reports and patches.
- Finally incorporated GZip header signature test code by Richard Evans.
Thanks for your patience (and code!), Richard. It works great!
- Andreas Koenig corrected ownership issue; CPAN module now correctly
downloads the latest version of this module
- Corrected documentation which removes EXPORT_OK lie. Functional
version of xml2pl() and pl2xml() are, indeed, exported by default.
- Removed Credits section, preferring rather to credit people in the
blow-by-blow updates
0.65 Mon Jul 21 14:07:17 PDT 2003
- Applied patch sent it by Florian Hinzmann which documents profile.pl
for the Debian packaging tool lintian. The profile.pl script now
has a =head NAME POD section.
0.64 Sat Jul 5 19:22:30 PDT 2003
- Changed INIT optional Compression::Zlib dependency to BEGIN block
for mod_perl compatibility. Startup now issues no errors due to
XML::Dumper.
0.63 Wed Jun 18 14:18:00 PDT 2003
- Added 'use warnings' pragma and applied patch to bugs. Both the bug
report and the patch were supplied by Honza Holecek. Thanks, Honza!
0.62 Sun Jan 12 19:48:12 PST 2003
- Added the ability to dump a DTD for a valid XML document. Investigating
more interesting forms of XML data (given DTD or Schema, slurp XML into
Perl and back). Corrected errors in POD, Changes, README, and tests.
0.60 Tue Jan 7 22:00:15 PST 2003
- Responded to some old comments by crazyinsomniac, from Perl Monks.
The module now dumps and undumps with or without the OO-ish interface.
I might add the punDump feature, but the feedback from pun-loving Perl
monks may lead to pun-demonium.
0.59 Thu Nov 28 22:43:51 PST 2002
- Responded to bug report by Peter S. May. XML::Dumper now correctly
interprets undef() values as being undefined as opposed to being a zero-
length string.
- Added capability to distinguish the difference between a reference to
a zero-length string and a reference to an undefined value. While the
use model escapes me at the moment, it was the consistent and right
thing to do.
- Moved credits and changes from perldoc to Changes file.
0.58 Thu Nov 28 13:22:18 PST 2002
- Added optional feature to read and write zlib-compressed XML. Added
optional dependency to Compress::Zlib.
0.57
- Responded to bug report by Niels Vegter. Code now better handles literal
scalar references.
- Changed the rest of the test suite to scale better, using some more of
the features of Test::Harness
0.56
- Added file reading and writing features
0.55
- Removed documentation of non-implemented code, fixed MANIFEST errors.
Fixed false dependency on Data::Dumper
0.54
- Added ability to handle soft referenced callbacks
0.53
- Added ability to handle circular references
