Revision history for Perl extension Data::Serializer
0.31 Tue Sep 27 12:10:11 MDT 2005
- Fixed bug in the test suite introduced in .30
Thanks to the cpan-testers for identifying this quickly
0.30 Thu Sep 15 08:49:28 MDT 2005
- Modified call to Digest module to bring it up to current.
- Changed default digester to SHA-256
Thanks to Mark Shelor <mshelor@comcast.net> for sending
out the notice that sha1 is now considered vulnerable.
* If you explicitly want to use SHA1 that will still work, but be
advised that is no longer considered secure. This only impacts
serialization if you are using it with encryption.
0.29 Mon Feb 07 18:42:14 MDT 2005
- Modified constructor to test exists rather then defined allowing
features to be disabled in the constructor.
- Modified deserialize to check if values are true, not just defined
to enable features also fixed a bug in deserialize for tokenless
deserializations where compressor was checked instead of
compress to determine if the data needed to be decompressed
- Cleaned up a couple bugs that prevented it from compiling when
autosplit was disabled
Thanks to John Alden <john.alden@bbc.co.uk> for detailed bug reports,
and excellent recommendations.
0.28 Mon Dec 06 13:08:42 MST 2004
- Test qw compatibility bug in older perl versions fixed:
From the 5.6 perldelta:
The qw// operator is now evaluated at compile time into a true
list instead of being replaced with a run time call to split().
This removes the confusing misbehavior of qw// in scalar context,
which had inherited that behavior from split().
To keep the module compatible with older version of perl the test was
changed to explicitly return a list and thus circumvent this limitation
of qw in older versions of perl.
Thanks to nothingmuch@woobling.org for having multiple perl versions in
the cpan testers results to make finding the compatibility problem possible.
0.27 Mon Dec 06 08:51:53 MST 2004
- Fixed version bug in test suite
Routine in test suite that tested storing to open filehandles was
using open() in a fashion incompatible with earlier versions of perl.
Converted it to use IO::File instead.
Thanks to the cpan testers for catching this one, in particular
nothingmuch@woobling.org
0.26 Fri Dec 03 11:49:34 MST 2004
- Modified Data::Serializer::Data::Dumper
removed the '2.08' requirement from use statement, this is handled in
the Makefile.PL so was redundant anyway. Was causing problems with
build in perl 5.8.6
Thanks to Ian <ian@holsman.net>
Tue Oct 05 15:30:02 MST 2004
- Modified Data::Serializer::Storable to use nfreeze when
the portable flag is set. This should help make the use of Storable
within Data::Serializer actually be portable when you ask it to be.
Thanks to Nick Edwards <nicke@summerleaze.co.uk> for requesting the feature
-Modified Data::Serializer::Data::Dumper to handle self-references correctly.
Was not correctly handling the serializing of self-referencing data structures.
Thanks to Ticha <ticha@openelement.co.uk> for finding the bug, and to
Gurusamy Sarathy <gsar@ActiveState.com> (Data::Dumper author) for suggesting
the fix.
0.25 Sat Jun 01 06:38:13 MST 2004
- Fixed misbehaving sloppy reference passing in test harness.
(Bug only visible in win32)
Thanks to =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=22Murat_=DCnalan=22?= <muenalan@cpan.org>
For debugging and providing the patch to get this to work.
0.24 Sat May 29 14:22:42 MST 2004
- Fixed bug in new 08-Store-Retrieve.t test
Now using File::Spec to correctly build path for test
Thanks to =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=22Murat_=DCnalan=22?= <muenalan@cpan.org>
For being on the ball in catching this bug.
0.23 Fri May 28 17:21:11 MST 2004
- Added store and retrieve functions for simple persistence
Thanks to
Nick Stutterer <nick@tesbo.com>
and
=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=22Murat_=DCnalan=22?= <muenalan@cpan.org>
For requesting this useful feature.
- Updated cookbook persistence example
0.22 Fri Mar 5 16:39:36 MST 2004
- Split up and organized test suite
- Added support for XML::Simple
- Created Data::Serializer::Cookbook
0.21 Tue Feb 24 16:57:19 MST 2004
- Added support for PHP::Serializer
- Added support for XML::Dumper
- Added raw_serialize and raw_deserialize methods
allows direct access to underlying serializers
useful to import/export data between aps that don't
understand Data::Serializer (like say serialized
PHP data)
- Added test for serializing scalars
0.20 Fri Feb 13 17:32:02 MST 2004
- Improved test suite to test combination of features
- cleaned up bug in handing of 'non-portable' serialized data
0.19 Fri Feb 13 14:46:30 MDT 2004
- Modified makefile to include dependancy on Digest::SHA1
Thanks (again) to Florian Helmberger <fh@laudatio.com>
for finding this discrepancy.
0.18 Fri Feb 13 11:17:24 MDT 2004
- Added support for MIME::Base64 for 'ascii armoring' serialized
data.
- Minor modifications to pod documentation
0.17 Thu Jul 11 15:10:41 MDT 2002
- Added support for YAML as a new serializer
Thanks to Florian Helmberger <fhe@inode.at> for writing
the relevant patch to do this.
0.16 Tue Jul 9 08:33:46 MDT 2002
- Added support for Config::General as a new serializer
- Added method 'options' for passing arguments to underlying serializers
currently only supported for Config::General
- Converted installation tests to use ExtUtils::Tbone (included)
- Added more robust testing of all serializers and features
Thanks to Thomas Linden <tom@daemon.de> who wrote a patch
adding support for Config::General to Data::Serializer
and for suggesting the addition of the options method
0.15 Mon Jul 1 13:32:46 MDT 2002
- Correct Makefile.PL testing bug
In particular we tested for Crypt::CBC and assumed Crypt::Blowfish
would also be installed. This is obviously not the case. We do not
want to force this as a dependency as encryption is a feature, not a
requirement for serializing data structures.
Thanks to 'Automated Perl Test Account <perl_test@logicalchaos.org>'
(and of course the humans behind it :-) )
0.14 Mon Jul 1 08:43:42 MDT 2002
