Changes for version 3.007

  • FIX: sorting should now work with tied hashes, and be in general faster.
  • CHANGED: Sort order for sort_keys=1 is now defined to be "in order by length of bytes, then by byte order of the underlying string, then by utd8ness, with non-utf8 first". This sort order was chosen because it requires the least operations to perform in the most cases, has a bounded number of cases where we would have to create any temporary SV's or to do operations that require us to introspect codepoints in utf8 strings. IOW purely performance. Note that so long as you compare data created with the same sort_keys setting you will ALWAYS get the same order *in process*, regardless of what you choose. Backwards compatible support for the old order is available via sort_keys=3.
    • ADDED: sort_keys=2 to provide "perl cmp order" (Its just there because it is easy to do, not for any good reason.) ADDED: sort_keys=3 to provide "rev perl cmp order"
    • Legacy sort order was equivalent to sort_keys=3, use this option *ONLY* if you are extremely sensitive to changes in the sorted order (or "canonical form").
  • [DECODER] Build fixes for boxes without any Sereal installed (it seems to be common on certain types of smokers, and not on others).
  • Fix issues with serializing blessed scalars where we see the blessed scalar before we see the reference to it.
  • Handle PVLV undefs
  • Build fixes for 5.8.9
  • Doc patches
  • Optimizations
