REVISION HISTORY FOR Set::Object

1.22, 8 Oct 2007

  • Sub-classing interface added; it is now much easier to make Set::Object subclasses that return objects other than more Set::Objects when subclassing. From Brían Mach Aon Innéirghthe.

1.21, 17 Feb 2007

  • Fix false negative when Test::Pod::Coverage isn't installed. Reported by Anna Bernathova of SuSE.

1.20, 16 Feb 2007

  • The ->compare function was returning "disjoint" for empty sets. RT#24965. (Nigel Metheringham)

  • Document lots of methods that were previously not documented.

  • Fix Set::Object::Weak::set(). It was not passing its arguments to Set::Object::Weak->new(), which was very broken.

1.19, 23 Jan 2007

  • remove bogus inclusions of Data::Dumper and Devel::Peek

  • New class Set::Object::Weak, which all weak sets should get re-blessed into when you call ->weaken. Also added alternative methods of constructing weak sets.

  • Fix a memory leak with scalar members (the internal hash used to store the items was never being freed). RT#24508.

1.18, 14 Sep 2006

  • We could only build on gcc due to the use of variadic macros. use #ifdef to hide this GCC-specific extension (used only for debugging) from non-GCC compilers.

  • Add note to man page on compatibility of Storable serializations of Set::Objects between revisions.

1.17, 1 Aug 2006

  • fix compile problem affecting some platforms

1.16, 18 Jul 2006

  • weak reference support

1.15, 21 Jun 2006

  • Dumping sets with scalars in them via Storable now works.

1.14

  • Fix build problem on Win32 (thanks Steffen Goeldner)

1.13

  • Fix Makefile.PL so this Changes.pod is not delivered as Set::Changes :-}

  • Restore compatibility with 5.6.0

  • Remove some compile-time warnings, please let me know if this version does not build on any platform!

1.12, 30 Aug 2005

  • added patch from Sergey Skvortsov for backwards compatibility with Perl versions before 5.8 (include >100k ppport.h!)

  • removed 'set()' constructor from default export list, as its name conflicts with too many other modules.

1.11, 27 Apr 2005

  • removed debugging &_ func (was causing strange errors on 5.9.1)

1.10, 2 Apr 2005

  • added 'set()' constructor and use-as-array-ref interface

1.09, 26 Mar 2005

  • added 'bool' overload operator to Set::Object. For backwards compatibility, always returns true.

1.08_02, 14 Jan 2005

  • Cutting out the "Universe" representation; this module gives plain sets only.

  • documentation fixes

1.08_01, 12 Jan 2005

  • First attempt at adding support for scalars. This version tries to work as closely to Set::Scalar as possible.

    This approach will not be continued unless there are a lot of requests for it to be implemented. I think it's overly complicated, and not what people expect when they want a Set.

1.08, 14 Oct 2004

  • another segfault bites the dust; this time, avoids a segfault when taking a difference between sets of exactly 31 and 0 size. Same root fault as the previous bug, this time I have a test case for it, too.

1.07, 16 Aug 2004

  • yet another segfault fix, this time due to incorrect use of PUSHs vs XPUSHs. There is no test case for this bug unfortunately.

1.06, 1 May 2004

  • Fixed segfault when attempting to remove items from an empty set (fix from Richard Sterling Cox)

1.05, 5 Jan 2004

  • some segfault fixes with Storable and Perl 5.6.1 (Perl 5.8.1 should be OK)

1.04, 3 Aug 2003

  • added various functions similar to some found in Scalar::Util, but with an extra one that performs a function that lays some groundwork for Container::Object (ish_int).

    Some of these functions were in the XS code anyway, and they are extremely small, so I didn't see a problem with duplicating them - saves an extra dependancy. Plus, Graham Barr won't let me put ish_int or is_key in his module.

    Knowing that they are available will also assist in fixing some longer standing bugs in Tangram (eg, using $obj + 0 to get a unique ID when refaddr($obj) would be better)

  • lots more input marshalling; if you ever end up doing funny things to a Set::Object, then at least now you'll get a clearer error message.

  • more tests; Devel::Cover test coverage now at 91% (stmt), 67% (branch)

  • erroneously putting scalars into Set::Objects now no longer dumps core.

  • serialisation of Set::Object objects is now possible via the Storable module (Data::Dumper still does the wrong thing, but there is nothing I can do about that).

1.03, 24 Jan 2003

  • fixed overload related bug
