Changes for version 3.002

  • Summary of changes from 3.001 - 3.002
  • Introduce "set_readonly" option to decoder
  • Introduce "set_readonly_scalars" option to decoder
  • Bug fixes
  • Fix assertion fails in DEBUG perls (Brian Fraser)
  • Fix segfault with "into" interface when decoding references and strings into the same target SV. See new test t/550_decode_into.t
  • Test Infra Changes
  • Split up bulk tests to speed up testing and make it easier to see when a failure is restricted to a specific option.
  • Big-Endian Support
  • Improved support for Big-Endian machines. We now build and pass test on Sparc and HP-UX and other platforms with big-endian or strict alignedness requirements. Much thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi, Gregor Herrmann, and H. Merijn Brand for for their assistance with this.
  • We still have issues with s390x (Z/Os) with Sereal. If someone wants to help it would be appreciated.
