Revision history for Perl extension Class-XSAccessor.

1.11 Fri Dec 3 18:00 2010

• Fix assignment to lvalue accessors that point at an uninitialized hash element.

1.10 Wed Dec 1 20:44 2010

• Fix RT #63458 and potentially #50454 We don't occasionally crash during END any more. Instead, we rely on the OS to reap a bit of memory after perl was shut down anyway.
• Tiny refactoring for smaller object size.

1.09 Sun Oct 31 12:45 2010

• Fix #62531: Predicates return value, not bool (SJOHNSTON)
• TODO test for perl-crashing bug (in perl) that can happen on (arcane) XSUB aliasing on perls < 5.8.9 (Peter Rabbitson) We're open for work-around patches.

1.08 Fri Sep 17 20:30 2010

• Promote latest development release to a stable release.

1.07_04 Sun Sep 12 10:30 2010

• Since WIN32 doesn't have the PERL_CORE optimization, it gets the PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT optimization back.
• Add threading test that would previously crash on win32 and perls compiled with track-mempool.
• Use the system's malloc/etc for the shared memory, not perl's.

1.07_03 Thu Sep 9 20:30 2010

• Minor constructor optimization/cleanup.
• Various built-time warning fixes.
• PERL_CORE optimization now disabled on WIN32.
• Class::Accessor::Fast compatibility code added (not for public consumption!)
• Clear requirement of Perl 5.8 everywhere.
• Fix minor (constant as in O(1)) memory leak.

1.07_02 Mon Aug 23 20:30 2010

• Various warning fixes and small cleanups over previous dev. version.

1.07_01 Wed Aug 18 20:30 2010

• Experimental support for lvalue accessors: $obj->foo = 12

1.07 Sun Aug 15 14:41 2010

• Include two new test files for the fix in 1.06.
• Define PERL_CORE, but only while including XSUB.h to get a significant speed-up (see XSAccessor.xs for an explanation). Idea from chocolateboy. Complaints from rightfully annoyed perl5-porters (in particular but not limited to Nicholas) go to Steffen.

1.06 Sat Aug 14 20:21 2010

• Add sanity checks to make sure we don't segfault on invalid invocants (chocolateboy)

1.05 Sun Nov 15 12:54 2009

• Minor developer doc tweaks.
• Minor XS refactoring

1.04_05 Mon Nov 9 20:10 2009

• Fixes for perls < 5.10: => No entersub optimization => Do no use precalculated hashes
• Updated entersub optimization
• Remove brain-damaged double-hashing
• Minor portability fixlets

1.04_04 Thu Nov 5 18:00 2009

• Fixes for non-threaded perls (no need for locks, perl_mutex not even defined).

1.04_03 Tue Nov 3 22:32 2009
** This release features some very radical changes. Test well. **

• Replace use of perl hashes in the global hash key name storage with a full-blown, separate implementation of a hash table (Steffen, chocolateboy)
• Similarly, throw out the SV's for simple C strings.
• Add a global lock for all modifications to global data structures:
• The above three items fix RT #50454 (serious threading issues).
• Add support for alternate use Class::XSAccessor { ... } syntax (Adam K)

1.04_02 Mon Sep 7 11:35 2009
** This release features some very radical changes. Test well. **

• Added shorthand syntax for getters, setters, accessors, and predicates where the attribute has the same name as the method (chocolateboy)
• Remove dependency on AutoXS::Header.
• Merge Class::XSAccessor::Array into this distribution.
• Refactored the XS to remove duplicate code.
• Refactored the perl code in XSAccessor.pm and Array.pm to remove duplicate code (=> Heavy.pm).
