3 0.15 2011-08-24 14:20 UTC
4 + Fix : Localizing subroutines in an higher scope will now correctly
5 update the method cache.
7 0.14 2011-02-27 00:00 UTC
8 + Fix : [RT #64997] : Compatibility with perl 5.13.10.
9 Thanks Dave Mitchell for the notice.
10 + Tst : Lengthy tests have been ported to Test::Leaner, making the
11 whole test suite about 50% faster.
13 0.13 2010-12-20 01:00 UTC
14 + Fix : [RT #61904] : Stack corruption when using unwind() under
16 Thanks Sergey Aleynikov for contributing a fix.
17 + Fix : [RT #63378] : Compatibility with perl 5.13.8.
18 Thanks Andreas J. König for bisecting the issue.
19 + Tst : Threads tests are now only run on perl 5.13.4 and higher.
20 They could segfault randomly because of what seems to be an
21 internal bug of Perl, which has been addressed in 5.13.4.
22 There is also an environment variable that allows you to
23 forcefully run those tests, but it should be set only for
24 author testing and not for end users.
26 0.12 2010-05-19 00:45 UTC
27 + Fix : Compatibility with perl 5.13.
28 + Fix : Test failures with perl 5.8.0.
29 + Fix : A minor leak of SVs when a non array/hash was passed to
32 0.11 2010-04-16 23:20 UTC
33 + Chg : It's now forbiddent to pass a reference to a non-glob variable
34 as the localization target of localize(), localize_elem() and
36 + Chg : localize_elem() now only accepts localization of arrays or hashs
37 elements. For other types, it used to be a synonym of localize.
38 + Chg : localize_elem() no longer accepts a glob as the target. You now
39 have to specify the variable as a string. This is because it was
40 impossible in this case to handle meaningfully the array or the
41 hash reference passed as the assigned value.
42 + Doc : The synopsys was revamped, and the rest of the documentation was
44 + Fix : [RT #55593] : Segfault when localizing hash or array element to
45 different package in different file.
46 Thanks Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker for reporting.
47 + Fix : [RT #56301] : reap loses eval context when dying naturally.
48 Thanks Andrew Main for reporting.
49 + Fix : Scope inconsistencies and segfaults when saving several
50 localizations into the same target scope.
51 + Fix : Stop skipping frames as a pop optimization. This caused breakage
52 under the debugger (and most likely outside as well).
54 0.10 2010-01-18 23:50 UTC
55 + Fix : Properly handle given/when on 5.10.
56 + Fix : Some stack inconsistencies were fixed, though they were unlikely
57 to have an impact on your real-life code.
58 + Fix : Work around Kwalitee test misfailures.
60 0.09 2009-05-17 20:20 UTC
61 + Add : The new SU_THREADSAFE constant can be used to know whether the
62 module could have been built with thread safety enabled.
63 + Chg : Thread safety is disabled for perl 5.8 on Win32.
64 + Chg : A saner workaround for the "call_sv() during LEAVE clobbers the
65 still used last popped stack element" issue on 5.10.
67 0.08 2009-04-16 22:50 UTC
68 + Fix : [RT #44204] : Stack corruption with reap(). Thanks Torsten
69 Foertsch for reporting.
70 + Fix : Building with Solaris CC.
71 + Tst : unwind() in threads.
73 0.07 2009-02-20 00:20 UTC
74 + Chg : The CLONE method will no longer be defined for non-threaded
76 + Doc : Some examples on how to build the target context from the words.
77 + Fix : Some unlikely possible uninitialized reads, indirectly pointed
78 out in a Redhat review request.
79 + Fix : "localize *x, 'y' => $cxt" now matches Perl's behaviour for
81 + Fix : Miscellanous code cleanups, courtesy of Florian Ragwitz.
82 + Upd : Resources in META.yml.
84 0.06 2009-01-17 00:05 UTC
85 + Chg : INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: The level is now absolute and no longer
86 relative to the current frame - we'll call it "context" from now
87 on. You should replace all your raw levels by combinations of
89 The old behaviour of "=> $n" can be easily reobtained by using
91 + Fix : As a result of this change, the module now plays nicely with
94 0.05 2009-01-12 18:15 UTC
95 + Fix : Stack mess when using unwind() in scalar context.
96 + Fix : Returning an automatic variable isn't wise, so let's use a
98 + Doc : Clarifications.
99 + Tst : Stress tests for unwind().
101 0.04 2009-01-11 18:40 UTC
102 + Add : unwind(@things, $level), that returns to an upper context.
103 + Add : want_at($level), that gives the wantarray for $level.
104 + Add : Control words, to reliably get the level of the n-th upper
105 subroutine or eval scope. TOPLEVEL was renamed to TOP.
106 + Fix : Tests with 5.6.
107 + Tst : Reordering and factoring some of the stress tests so that they
108 aren't needlessly ran several times.
110 0.03 2009-01-04 15:55 UTC
111 + Add : localize_delete(), that localize array/hash elements in upper
113 + Fix : Segfault when localizing array elements with an invalid negative
116 0.02 2008-12-28 18:40 UTC
117 + Doc : Clarifications and improvements.
118 + Fix : Missing compatibility macros.
119 + Fix : Localized nonexistant array elements should be deleted when
120 their time comes so that the array recovers its original length.
122 0.01 2008-12-26 16:05 UTC
123 First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
