Revision history for Perl extension Compress::LZF - the hash table was'nt initialised to 0 properly, causing correct, but non-deterministic, compression output. 3.8 Tue Jun 30 01:50:27 CEST 2015 - update liblzf to version 3.8 (no bugfixes). - support perl multicore specification (http://perlmulticore.schmorp.de/) for compression and decompression. - dynamically allocate space for best compression, instead of allocating it on the stack. 3.7 Sun Aug 25 20:12:58 CEST 2013 - update liblzf to version 3.7 (speedups, no bugfixes). - add _best versions that use lzf_c_best. 3.43 Mon Dec 29 09:46:17 CET 2008 - port to perls that pointlessly have enabled windows process emulation on unix (broguht to my attention by Guillaume Rousse). 3.42 Wed Dec 17 01:35:47 CET 2008 - grr, require_pv doesn't work either, roll our own. - name the correct function serialiser function name in error messages. 3.41 Tue Sep 23 01:59:02 CEST 2008 - it would be nice if the fact that load_module eats the module name were documented :(, in any case, switching to require_pv fixes all the mysterious crashes. - be more forgiving instead of crashing when the serialiser doesn't return a string. 3.4 Fri Sep 5 17:27:10 CEST 2008 - update to liblzf-3.4. 3.11 Wed Jan 9 22:43:17 CET 2008 - add PUTBACK/SPAGAIN around need_storable calls, fixing a potential stack change problem when loading the serialiser. 3.1 Fri Nov 30 11:35:47 CET 2007 - update to liblzf-3.1. 2.0 Tue Nov 13 22:49:57 CET 2007 - update to liblzf-3.0. 1.9 Fri Nov 2 13:34:21 CET 2007 - require perl 5.008. - updated to liblzf version 2.1. 1.8 Wed Apr 18 14:40:20 CEST 2007 - properly downgrade all scalars to octet form when required. - strings potentially containing non-latin1 characters get frozen via the serialiser. 1.71 Fri Feb 16 23:09:04 CET 2007 - fix memory leak when feeding illegal data to decompress. - allocate hash dynamically - slower, but having 256k of stack is not ubiquitiously available. 1.7 Wed Sep 27 17:52:39 CEST 2006 - fix buffer overflows in decompress header. 1.65 Fri Jul 7 17:42:12 CEST 2006 - upgrade to liblzf-1.6. 1.6 Sat Oct 1 03:34:11 CEST 2005 - now really allow non-Storable serialisers. 1.52 Sat Oct 1 03:23:52 CEST 2005 - changed mstore to net_mstore default. 1.51 Thu Apr 14 18:59:03 CEST 2005 - upped compress size limit from 64MB to 2GB (reported by Jan Sundberg, who actually ran into the limit :). - *blush*, changed Zev-Limpel to Lempel-Ziv... funny that nobody spotted thta braino. 1.5 Tue Mar 8 21:04:23 CET 2005 - upgraded to liblzf-1.5 (faster, slightly worse compression). 1.401 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005 - upgraded to liblzf-1.401. - change of contact address. 1.4 Wed Dec 15 08:09:33 CET 2004 - upgraded to liblzf-1.4. 1.0 Mon May 3 20:25:07 CEST 2004 - yet another minor reference copying vs. inc bug. 0.1046 Fri Jan 17 08:14:30 CET 2003 - added debian files, realized that debians package management is quite useless. 0.1045 Thu Sep 5 23:54:11 CEST 2002 - always make a stringified copy of the argument for sfreeze, so the assertion "sfreeze makes a string out of it's argument" holds even for integers. - "simple" objects now include PVIV and PVNV. 0.1044 Thu Sep 5 06:44:13 CEST 2002 - MINOR: add set_serializer interface. 0.1043 Sat May 18 23:40:01 CEST 2002 - bugfix when freezing non-SVt_PV-PV's. - thanks to all cpan-testers ;) 0.1042 Fri May 17 22:09:08 CEST 2002 - removed some debugging code that kept sfreeze from properly 0.1041 Wed Apr 10 05:12:47 CEST 2002 - sthaw now returns a copy of it's argument instead of the argument itself in the pass-through case, as this is the required semantics for perl. 0.104 Tue Mar 26 18:48:02 CET 2002 - fix more logic bugs. never wrote functions with such contorted logic :( maybe I should just ignore the idea of saving single bytes whereever possible to make this module much cleaner... 0.103 Sun Mar 3 05:39:00 CET 2002 - try to handle magical objects that are no references by creating a referebce to them and passing this ref to storable. 0.102 Wed Feb 27 21:50:18 CET 2002 - handle magic in sfreeze. 0.101 Fri Feb 22 01:15:25 CET 2002 - handle magic in sthaw. 0.1 Thu Sep 27 18:50:11 CEST 2001 - compress/decompress considered stable. - added sfreeze, sfreeze_c and sfreeze_cr. 0.05 Thu Jan 25 12:47:36 CET 2001 - uncompress leaked memory. doh! 0.04 Tue Jan 16 13:21:14 CET 2001 - fix silly beginners 32/64 bit mistake. 0.03 Sat Jan 13 19:19:15 CET 2001 - small testsuite fix (use Compress::LZF instead of LZV1!). 0.02 Thu Jan 4 05:51:26 CET 2001 - upgraded to liblzf-0.2 0.01 - improved version of Compress::LZV1, better compression, saner format freeer license, faster code...
