6 REVISION HISTORY - Set::Object
7
9 • Fixed perl5.28 regressions (not cperl), for @$set args to other set
10 functions. (RT #131345). Fixed by adding missing SvGETMAGIC
11 expansions to all args.
12 • Bumped minimal required perl version to 5.8 for arrayref @$set
14 behavior.
15 • Fixed the smokers and some author tests.
17
19 • Skip installing Changes.pod (PR #5, kentfredric)
20
22 • Add test_cover and release targets
23
25 • Test fixes for -Ddefault_inc_excludes_dot, RT #120540
26 • Skip failing threads test <= 5.10.0
28 • Add CI hooks
30
32 • Davem fixed get-magic for the new arguments, fixing NetHack-Item
33 [perl #132152]
34 <https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=132152>. See [cpan
35 #123582] <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=123582>
36 • Stabilize t/misc/kwalitee.t test
38
40 • Change to Artistic License 2.0
41 • Add more misc tests. Add use strict to Set::Object::Weak
43
45 • Make synopsis examples work (tadzik)
46
48 • Fix RT #90070: Improve pod for sorted @$set in list context vs
49 unsorted ->elements (ftobin)
50 • Fix RT #87658: Typo in pod (dsteinbrunner)
52
54 • Reverts Changes.pod patch RT#85244 as it conflicts with the
55 Set::Object pod on metacpan. Also RT #85246
56
58 • Changes.pod patch by Gregor Hermann, debian perl group - RT#85244
59
61 • Fixes for 5.16 and newer - RT#83426 Sort by member names, not the
62 refs. Fix wrong weak test with globals. Changed to lexicals and
63 use strict/warnings.
64 • Fix t/misc/segfault.t, check SvMAGICAL before doing "mg_find"
66 • Fixed wrong C format types in warnings and
68 "SET_OBJECT_MAGIC_backref". Added PREREQ_PMs, make Test::LeakTrace
69 and Moose an optional dependency for t/misc/more_leaks.t
70 • Improve thread-safety (forbid concurrent writes), but still dealing
72 with Attempt to free non-existent shared string and Unbalanced
73 string table refcount: (1) for "8" during global destruction. - RT
74 #22760
75 • Add missing typemap entry const char * for 5.6
77
79 • Fixed a typo in a function which really shouldn't exist - RT#79653
80 • Marked a couple of functions as deprecated for removal (including
82 the above function).
83 • Fixed the magic cleanup code to use the appropriate macro/function
85 to clean up the magic list instead of trying to do it itself.
86 Unsurprisingly, fixes a memory leak. (RT#69967, also RT#67289)
87
89 • Fixed a portability concern for some platforms' C compilers (that
90 do not support //-style comments) - RT#52690
91 • Valid SIGNATURE file - RT#50492
93
95 • Fix a typo that affected building against Perls with debugging
96 enabled.
97 • A minor #define refactor (Yuval).
99 • Squash some long-standing warnings I had been ignoring for ages and
101 Havard Eidnes prompted me to fix by logging an RT ticket for it.
102 • Squash some global clean-up warnings.
104
106 • Methods which destroyed $@ due to internal use of "eval" now
107 properly call "local($@)" (Yuval)
108 • Fix a leak and a corner case with weak set magic, and squash some
110 warnings (Yuval)
111 • Define behaviour when dealing with return values from operations on
113 weak sets. No longer hard-coded "Set::Object" - may affect
114 Set::Object sub-classes (Sam).
115 • (post-release changelog entry) related to the previous change,
117 Set::Object::Weak::set did not use to shift the invocant off the
118 stack, which caused result sets to have the inserted sets as
119 members. It now does, fixing this bug.
120
122 • Portability: support Perls before 5.7.3, and make this dependency
123 explicit in the Makefile.PL
124
126 • Remove threads test which had inadvertantly slipped into the
127 MANIFEST from source control, and add comprehensive documentation
128 on the state of thread support in this module.
129 • Correct other silly MANIFEST mistakes.
131
133 • Make behaviour when dealing with items which were "undef" defined.
134 Previously it might segfault (or Bus Error on Mac OS X) on some
135 operations and Perl versions, or result in an empty string being
136 inserted.
137 • Fix a minor compile problem on IRIX, reported by David Cantrell.
139
141 • Sub-classing interface added; it is now much easier to make
142 Set::Object subclasses that return objects other than more
143 Set::Objects when subclassing. From Brían Mach Aon Innéirghthe.
144
146 • Fix false negative when Test::Pod::Coverage isn't installed.
147 Reported by Anna Bernathova of SuSE.
148
150 • The "->compare" function was returning "disjoint" for empty sets.
151 RT#24965. (Nigel Metheringham)
152 • Document lots of methods that were previously not documented.
154 • Fix "Set::Object::Weak::set()". It was not passing its arguments
156 to "Set::Object::Weak->new()", which was very broken.
157
159 • remove bogus inclusions of Data::Dumper and Devel::Peek
160 • New class "Set::Object::Weak", which all weak sets should get re-
162 blessed into when you call "->weaken". Also added alternative
163 methods of constructing weak sets.
164 • Fix a memory leak with scalar members (the internal hash used to
166 store the items was never being freed). RT#24508.
167
169 • We could only build on gcc due to the use of variadic macros. use
170 "#ifdef" to hide this GCC-specific extension (used only for
171 debugging) from non-GCC compilers.
172 • Add note to man page on compatibility of "Storable" serializations
174 of "Set::Object"s between revisions.
175
177 • fix compile problem affecting some platforms
178
180 • weak reference support
181
183 • Dumping sets with scalars in them via Storable now works.
184
186 • Fix build problem on Win32 (thanks Steffen Goeldner)
187
189 • Fix Makefile.PL so this Changes.pod is not delivered as
190 "Set::Changes" :-}
191 • Restore compatibility with 5.6.0
193 • Remove some compile-time warnings, please let me know if this
195 version does not build on any platform!
196
198 • added patch from Sergey Skvortsov for backwards compatibility with
199 Perl versions before 5.8 (include >100k ppport.h!)
200 • removed '"set()"' constructor from default export list, as its name
202 conflicts with too many other modules.
203
205 • removed debugging &_ func (was causing strange errors on 5.9.1)
206
208 • added '"set()"' constructor and use-as-array-ref interface
209
211 • added 'bool' overload operator to "Set::Object". For backwards
212 compatibility, always returns true.
213 1.08_02, 14 Jan 2005
215 • Cutting out the "Universe" representation; this module gives plain
216 sets only.
217 • documentation fixes
219 1.08_01, 12 Jan 2005
221 • First attempt at adding support for scalars. This version tries to
222 work as closely to "Set::Scalar" as possible.
223 This approach will not be continued unless there are a lot of
225 requests for it to be implemented. I think it's overly
226 complicated, and not what people expect when they want a Set.
227
229 • another segfault bites the dust; this time, avoids a segfault when
230 taking a difference between sets of exactly 31 and 0 size. Same
231 root fault as the previous bug, this time I have a test case for
232 it, too.
233
235 • yet another segfault fix, this time due to incorrect use of PUSHs
236 vs XPUSHs. There is no test case for this bug unfortunately.
237
239 • Fixed segfault when attempting to remove items from an empty set
240 (fix from Richard Sterling Cox)
241
243 • some segfault fixes with Storable and Perl 5.6.1 (Perl 5.8.1 should
244 be OK)
245
247 • added various functions similar to some found in Scalar::Util, but
248 with an extra one that performs a function that lays some
249 groundwork for Container::Object ("ish_int").
250 Some of these functions were in the XS code anyway, and they are
252 extremely small, so I didn't see a problem with duplicating them -
253 saves an extra dependency. Plus, Graham Barr won't let me put
254 "ish_int" or "is_key" in his module.
255 Knowing that they are available will also assist in fixing some
257 longer standing bugs in Tangram (eg, using "$obj + 0" to get a
258 unique ID when "refaddr($obj)" would be better)
259 • lots more input marshalling; if you ever end up doing funny things
261 to a "Set::Object", then at least now you'll get a clearer error
262 message.
263 • more tests; Devel::Cover test coverage now at 91% (stmt), 67%
265 (branch)
266 • erroneously putting scalars into "Set::Object"s now no longer dumps
268 core.
269 • serialisation of "Set::Object" objects is now possible via the
271 Storable module (Data::Dumper still does the wrong thing, but there
272 is nothing I can do about that).
273
275 • fixed overload related bug
