4
- Daniel Dragan <bulk88@hotmail.com> spent a bunch of time
5
digging into the weird problems we were having with Snappy
6
encoded data on Windows on certain builds. Turned out that
7
it was right broken, and worked sometimes purely by chance.
8
He kindly provided a patch.

0.30 Wed Feb 13 06:21 2013 (AMS time)
11
- Found a work around for VC6 Windows 32 bit builds
12
Compile was "optimizing" float comparisons to use 80 bit precision
13
regardless of type, this release uses a workaround of marking the
14
relevant vars "volatile".

0.29 Sat Feb 09 18:09 2013 (AMS time)
17
- Dummy release to keep Encoder in sync with Decoder.
19
0.28 Sat Feb 09 16:20 2013 (AMS time)
20
- More fixups for building on Win32/C89 compilers
21
- Eliminate unnecessary use of strlen.

0.26 Sun Feb 03 13:45 2013
28
- Compatibility with perl 5.17.6 (5.18-to-be) regarding regular
30
- Fixed Changelog order (why would I ever have listed oldest first?)
32
0.25 Tue Jan 22 18:00 2013
33
- Various compatibility fixes with old versions of Perl.
34
Specifically, fixes to regular expression handling that should help
35
with 5.10 support, as well as fixes that should improve the status
37
- Potential fix for a leak wrt. regular expression support.
38
- Fewer compiler warnings on 32bit/gcc.

* Important bug fix release *
45
Before using the incremental Snappy mode described below, you must
46
upgrade the Sereal::Decoder to version 0.23 or higher!
47
- Support for the 'snappy_incr' option, which uses a new Snappy
48
compression format that is suitable for parsing multiple Sereal
49
documents from a large buffer. A bug in the previous implementation
50
of Snappy-compression resulted in the Decoder failing if the
51
buffer (Perl input string) extended beyond the length of the
52
Snappy-compressed Sereal document.
53
If this confuses you, then:
54
=> If you're not using Snappy compression, move on.
55
=> If you are, but you're not extracting Sereal documents
56
from larger strings, consider upgrading or move on.
57
=> If you're using Snappy compression and might want to extract
58
Sereal documents from larger strings, then please:
59
1) Upgrade Sereal::Decoder and Sereal::Encoder everywhere.
60
2) Then swap the "snappy" option of the encoder for the
62
- Support for the 'sort_keys' option, which outputs hash keys in
63
consistent order (but see gotchas in documentation).
68
0.20 Fri Nov 23 15:35 2012
69
- Configurable recursion limit for the Encoder.
70
- Fix hard-crash issue with weak-refs to certain data structures
71
(issue #11 on github). Thanks to Andrew Yates for helping us debug
73
=> Regression tests still pending.

0.18 Wed Nov 14 07:30 2012
78
* This release contains critical bug fixes *
79
- Fix output data corruption in encoder when serializing an incompatible
80
data structure with refcount > 1 with the "stringify_unknown" option.
82
0.17 Mon Oct 29 12:00 2012
83
* This release contains critical bug fixes *
84
- Fix pointer-stashing-broken-by-realloc-from-under-it problem by
85
using offsets instead.
86
This bug could cause you Perl to segfault.
88
0.16 Thu Oct 25 12:00 2012
89
- Re-entrancy fix for obscure cases like calling into Sereal from
90
$SIG{__DIE__} if the exception was thrown from within Sereal.
91
(A bit of a "don't do that" case)
93
0.15 Wed Oct 17 13:00 2012
94
- Thread-safety fix on Perls >= 5.8.7. Sereal is still not thread-safe
97
0.14 Wed Oct 10 11:11 2012
98
- The 'warn_unknown' option now optionally does NOT emit a warning
99
if the unsupported item is a blessed object with string overloading.
103
0.12 Wed Sep 19 08:00 2012
104
* Important bug fix *
105
- Under certain circumstances, an encoder object could be left
106
in an unclean state when an encoding operation failed via
109
0.11 Tue Sep 18 13:00 2012
111
- Fixes to other languages' reference data output.
113
0.10 Mon Sep 17 14:00 2012
114
- Perl 5.10 regular-expression-related build fixes.
116
0.09 Fri Sep 14 10:00 2012
117
- Export functions by default when loaded from one liner
118
- More liberal set of decoder versions that we can run full tests against
120
0.08 Thu Sep 13 17:00 2012
121
- 'snappy_threshold' option which controls at which minimum packet size
122
we start compressing with Snappy at all (if Snappy enabled)
125
0.07 Tue Sep 11 14:00 2012
126
- "undef_unknown" option will cause unsupported Perl types to be
127
encoded as "undef" instead of throwing an exception.
128
- Similarly, "stringify_unknown" will make those unsupported types
129
be stringified instead. The two options are mutually exclusive.
130
- "warn_unknown" option (only meaningful if "stringify_unknown" or
131
"undef_unknown" are active) will cause a warning to be issued when
132
an unsupported type is encoded as a string or as undef.
133
- Bug fixes for encoding the contents of tied hashes (the tiedness
134
itself is not preserved by design).
136
- Test fixes for threaded perls (likely working around a bug in Perl
137
- Improved documentation.
139
0.06 Mon Sep 10 11:00 2012
140
- First public release (CPAN).
141
- Beta quality software.
