24 <https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=132152>. See [cpan
25 #123582] <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=123582>
26 · Stabilize t/misc/kwalitee.t test
28

33
35 · Make synopsis examples work (tadzik)
36
38 · Fix RT #90070: Improve pod for sorted @$set in list context vs
39 unsorted ->elements (ftobin)
40 · Fix RT #87658: Typo in pod (dsteinbrunner)
42
44 · Reverts Changes.pod patch RT#85244 as it conflicts with the
45 Set::Object pod on metacpan. Also RT #85246
46
48 · Changes.pod patch by Gregor Hermann, debian perl group - RT#85244
49
51 · Fixes for 5.16 and newer - RT#83426 Sort by member names, not the
52 refs. Fix wrong weak test with globals. Changed to lexicals and
53 use strict/warnings.
54 · Fix t/misc/segfault.t, check SvMAGICAL before doing "mg_find"
56 · Fixed wrong C format types in warnings and
58 "SET_OBJECT_MAGIC_backref". Added PREREQ_PMs, make Test::LeakTrace
59 and Moose an optional dependency for t/misc/more_leaks.t
60 · Improve thread-safety (forbid concurrent writes), but still dealing
62 with Attempt to free non-existent shared string and Unbalanced
63 string table refcount: (1) for "8" during global destruction. - RT
64 #22760
65 · Add missing typemap entry const char * for 5.6
67
69 · Fixed a typo in a function which really shouldn't exist - RT#79653
70 · Marked a couple of functions as deprecated for removal (including
72 the above function).
73 · Fixed the magic cleanup code to use the appropriate macro/function
75 to clean up the magic list instead of trying to do it itself.
76 Unsurprisingly, fixes a memory leak. (RT#69967, also RT#67289)
77
79 · Fixed a portability concern for some platforms' C compilers (that
80 do not support //-style comments) - RT#52690
81 · Valid SIGNATURE file - RT#50492
83
85 · Fix a typo that affected building against Perls with debugging
86 enabled.
87 · A minor #define refactor (Yuval).
89 · Squash some long-standing warnings I had been ignoring for ages and
91 Havard Eidnes prompted me to fix by logging an RT ticket for it.
92 · Squash some global clean-up warnings.
94
96 · Methods which destroyed $@ due to internal use of "eval" now
97 properly call "local($@)" (Yuval)
98 · Fix a leak and a corner case with weak set magic, and squash some
100 warnings (Yuval)
101 · Define behaviour when dealing with return values from operations on
103 weak sets. No longer hard-coded "Set::Object" - may affect
104 Set::Object sub-classes (Sam).
105 · (post-release changelog entry) related to the previous change,
107 Set::Object::Weak::set did not use to shift the invocant off the
108 stack, which caused result sets to have the inserted sets as
109 members. It now does, fixing this bug.
110
112 · Portability: support Perls before 5.7.3, and make this dependency
113 explicit in the Makefile.PL
114
116 · Remove threads test which had inadvertantly slipped into the
117 MANIFEST from source control, and add comprehensive documentation
118 on the state of thread support in this module.
119 · Correct other silly MANIFEST mistakes.
121
123 · Make behaviour when dealing with items which were "undef" defined.
124 Previously it might segfault (or Bus Error on Mac OS X) on some
125 operations and Perl versions, or result in an empty string being
126 inserted.
127 · Fix a minor compile problem on IRIX, reported by David Cantrell.
129
131 · Sub-classing interface added; it is now much easier to make
132 Set::Object subclasses that return objects other than more
133 Set::Objects when subclassing. From Brían Mach Aon Innéirghthe.
134
136 · Fix false negative when Test::Pod::Coverage isn't installed.
137 Reported by Anna Bernathova of SuSE.
138
140 · The "->compare" function was returning "disjoint" for empty sets.
141 RT#24965. (Nigel Metheringham)
142 · Document lots of methods that were previously not documented.
144 · Fix "Set::Object::Weak::set()". It was not passing its arguments
146 to "Set::Object::Weak->new()", which was very broken.
147
149 · remove bogus inclusions of Data::Dumper and Devel::Peek
150 · New class "Set::Object::Weak", which all weak sets should get re-
152 blessed into when you call "->weaken". Also added alternative
153 methods of constructing weak sets.
154 · Fix a memory leak with scalar members (the internal hash used to
156 store the items was never being freed). RT#24508.
157
159 · We could only build on gcc due to the use of variadic macros. use
160 "#ifdef" to hide this GCC-specific extension (used only for
161 debugging) from non-GCC compilers.
162 · Add note to man page on compatibility of "Storable" serializations
164 of "Set::Object"s between revisions.
165
167 · fix compile problem affecting some platforms
168
170 · weak reference support
171
173 · Dumping sets with scalars in them via Storable now works.
174
176 · Fix build problem on Win32 (thanks Steffen Goeldner)
177
179 · Fix Makefile.PL so this Changes.pod is not delivered as
180 "Set::Changes" :-}
181 · Restore compatibility with 5.6.0
183 · Remove some compile-time warnings, please let me know if this
185 version does not build on any platform!
186
188 · added patch from Sergey Skvortsov for backwards compatibility with
189 Perl versions before 5.8 (include >100k ppport.h!)
190 · removed '"set()"' constructor from default export list, as its name
192 conflicts with too many other modules.
193
195 · removed debugging &_ func (was causing strange errors on 5.9.1)
196
198 · added '"set()"' constructor and use-as-array-ref interface
199
201 · added 'bool' overload operator to "Set::Object". For backwards
202 compatibility, always returns true.
203 1.08_02, 14 Jan 2005
205 · Cutting out the "Universe" representation; this module gives plain
206 sets only.
207 · documentation fixes
209 1.08_01, 12 Jan 2005
211 · First attempt at adding support for scalars. This version tries to
212 work as closely to "Set::Scalar" as possible.
213 This approach will not be continued unless there are a lot of
215 requests for it to be implemented. I think it's overly
216 complicated, and not what people expect when they want a Set.
217
219 · another segfault bites the dust; this time, avoids a segfault when
220 taking a difference between sets of exactly 31 and 0 size. Same
221 root fault as the previous bug, this time I have a test case for
222 it, too.
223
225 · yet another segfault fix, this time due to incorrect use of PUSHs
226 vs XPUSHs. There is no test case for this bug unfortunately.
227
229 · Fixed segfault when attempting to remove items from an empty set
230 (fix from Richard Sterling Cox)
231
233 · some segfault fixes with Storable and Perl 5.6.1 (Perl 5.8.1 should
234 be OK)
235
237 · added various functions similar to some found in Scalar::Util, but
238 with an extra one that performs a function that lays some
239 groundwork for Container::Object ("ish_int").
240 Some of these functions were in the XS code anyway, and they are
242 extremely small, so I didn't see a problem with duplicating them -
243 saves an extra dependency. Plus, Graham Barr won't let me put
244 "ish_int" or "is_key" in his module.
245 Knowing that they are available will also assist in fixing some
247 longer standing bugs in Tangram (eg, using "$obj + 0" to get a
248 unique ID when "refaddr($obj)" would be better)
249 · lots more input marshalling; if you ever end up doing funny things
251 to a "Set::Object", then at least now you'll get a clearer error
252 message.
253 · more tests; Devel::Cover test coverage now at 91% (stmt), 67%
255 (branch)
256 · erroneously putting scalars into "Set::Object"s now no longer dumps
258 core.
259 · serialisation of "Set::Object" objects is now possible via the
261 Storable module (Data::Dumper still does the wrong thing, but there
262 is nothing I can do about that).
263
265 · fixed overload related bug
266
