1.0

Release version. Name changed to Data::Dump::Streamer which will be
future name.

1.01

Post-release minor fix to provide SortKeys and Hashkeys aliases to
both SortKeys and HashKeys. Thanks to Slaven Rezic for the heads up.
Added documentation improvements and fixes as well as a very slight
and subtle change to the behaviour of Dump() in list context.

1.02

Changed test 14 of dump.t, added a few tests, and some support code
for future enhancements, and most notably support for deparsing
formats. Thanks to Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes for the latter.

1.03, 1.04

Enhanced format support for FORMAT refs. Yitzchak pointed out some
bugs in the original handling. DeparseFormat() has been removed. It
should never have existed in the first place. DeparseGlob() was the
correct method/attribute to use. FormatStub() attribute added.

This release I'm introducing some new testing code that im trying out.
Once im happy with it I intend to convert all my old tests to use it
and do away with the really quite horrible same() and _same() in
test_helper.pl.

1.05

Added support for locked hashes. Probably there are still bugs in here,
but for now it looks good. Thanks to Yitzchak for pointing out this wasn't
implemented.

Also started adding support for a "smart indent mode". Try using Indent(1)
instead of Indent(2).

1.06

Added additional support for utf8 and some minor doc fixes. Thanks to
Yitzchak yet again for the patches and advice.

1.07

Fixed some incorrect error messages in Streamer.xs. Updated CHANGES with 1.06
info which I forgot from that release. Fixed utf8 related error. Thanks to
Yitzchak for the patch. Provided a way to optionally install a 'DDS' alias
for the module so that its easier to use from the command line. Doesn't install
it by default, or via a normal CPAN install for namespace pollution reasons,
and because I hate modules that dont automatically install. If you do

  perl Makefile.PL DDS [STANDARD OPTS]

then it will be installed. To disable this once its enabled you can say

  perl Makefile.PL NODDS [STANDARD OPTS]


1.08

Doc fixes, and removed a relic of earlier development that polluted @INC.

1.09

Changed the way DDS is implemented to something a little simpler. Also enhanced
the Makefile.pl stuff, and added mention of it to D::D::S's pod.

1.10

Added dualvar support. Added support for a low purity mode and Purity() overall.
Refactored some code. More tests.

1.11

Reworked how objects blessed into classes with overloads are handled to prevent
any overloaded methods from firing during the eval of their dump. There may be
problems with this and the Freeze/Thaw processing so YMMV. Thanks to [diotalevi]
from perlmonks for the base implementation of this.

Added support for weakreferences. Under some circumstances weakrefs caused DDS
to get very confused, and there was no support for recreating weakrefs in the 
structure. This has been rectified. Its possible that output including weakrefs
may not eval correctly as the restored data may be missing external references
that keep the overall data structure alive. For instance if everything in the
dump is a weakref the resulting vars may have returned to undef prior to completing
the eval. YMMV. Thanks to [ysth] from perlmonks for the pointer to how weakrefs work.

Added method behaviour to Dump() so its not just subroutine based. This should make
using it as a method more or less DWIM. Also thanks to [diotalevi]

Added support for dumping the lexical context of CODE refs. Heavily experimental,
YMMV.
