1 Revision history for Scope-Upper
3 0.12 2010-05-19 00:45 UTC
4 + Fix : Compatibility with perl 5.13.
5 + Fix : Test failures with perl 5.8.0.
6 + Fix : A minor leak of SVs when a non array/hash was passed to
9 0.11 2010-04-16 23:20 UTC
10 + Chg : It's now forbiddent to pass a reference to a non-glob variable
11 as the localization target of localize(), localize_elem() and
13 + Chg : localize_elem() now only accepts localization of arrays or hashs
14 elements. For other types, it used to be a synonym of localize.
15 + Chg : localize_elem() no longer accepts a glob as the target. You now
16 have to specify the variable as a string. This is because it was
17 impossible in this case to handle meaningfully the array or the
18 hash reference passed as the assigned value.
19 + Doc : The synopsys was revamped, and the rest of the documentation was
21 + Fix : [RT #55593] : Segfault when localizing hash or array element to
22 different package in different file.
23 Thanks Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker for reporting.
24 + Fix : [RT #56301] : reap loses eval context when dying naturally.
25 Thanks Andrew Main for reporting.
26 + Fix : Scope inconsistencies and segfaults when saving several
27 localizations into the same target scope.
28 + Fix : Stop skipping frames as a pop optimization. This caused breakage
29 under the debugger (and most likely outside as well).
31 0.10 2010-01-18 23:50 UTC
32 + Fix : Properly handle given/when on 5.10.
33 + Fix : Some stack inconsistencies were fixed, though they were unlikely
34 to have an impact on your real-life code.
35 + Fix : Work around Kwalitee test misfailures.
37 0.09 2009-05-17 20:20 UTC
38 + Add : The new SU_THREADSAFE constant can be used to know whether the
39 module could have been built with thread safety enabled.
40 + Chg : Thread safety is disabled for perl 5.8 on Win32.
41 + Chg : A saner workaround for the "call_sv() during LEAVE clobbers the
42 still used last popped stack element" issue on 5.10.
44 0.08 2009-04-16 22:50 UTC
45 + Fix : [RT #44204] : Stack corruption with reap(). Thanks Torsten
46 Foertsch for reporting.
47 + Fix : Building with Solaris CC.
48 + Tst : unwind() in threads.
50 0.07 2009-02-20 00:20 UTC
51 + Chg : The CLONE method will no longer be defined for non-threaded
53 + Doc : Some examples on how to build the target context from the words.
54 + Fix : Some unlikely possible uninitialized reads, indirectly pointed
55 out in a Redhat review request.
56 + Fix : "localize *x, 'y' => $cxt" now matches Perl's behaviour for
58 + Fix : Miscellanous code cleanups, courtesy of Florian Ragwitz.
59 + Upd : Resources in META.yml.
61 0.06 2009-01-17 00:05 UTC
62 + Chg : INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: The level is now absolute and no longer
63 relative to the current frame - we'll call it "context" from now
64 on. You should replace all your raw levels by combinations of
66 The old behaviour of "=> $n" can be easily reobtained by using
68 + Fix : As a result of this change, the module now plays nicely with
71 0.05 2009-01-12 18:15 UTC
72 + Fix : Stack mess when using unwind() in scalar context.
73 + Fix : Returning an automatic variable isn't wise, so let's use a
75 + Doc : Clarifications.
76 + Tst : Stress tests for unwind().
78 0.04 2009-01-11 18:40 UTC
79 + Add : unwind(@things, $level), that returns to an upper context.
80 + Add : want_at($level), that gives the wantarray for $level.
81 + Add : Control words, to reliably get the level of the n-th upper
82 subroutine or eval scope. TOPLEVEL was renamed to TOP.
83 + Fix : Tests with 5.6.
84 + Tst : Reordering and factoring some of the stress tests so that they
85 aren't needlessly ran several times.
87 0.03 2009-01-04 15:55 UTC
88 + Add : localize_delete(), that localize array/hash elements in upper
90 + Fix : Segfault when localizing array elements with an invalid negative
93 0.02 2008-12-28 18:40 UTC
94 + Doc : Clarifications and improvements.
95 + Fix : Missing compatibility macros.
96 + Fix : Localized nonexistant array elements should be deleted when
97 their time comes so that the array recovers its original length.

100 First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
