Revision history for Perl extension List-SomeUtils

0.59     2022-12-10

* Require Module::Implementation 0.04. Without this tests fail. Reported by
  Eric Brine. GH #11.


0.58     2019-10-26

[BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITY]

* Fixed a number of bugs in the handling of empty lists. The any_u(), all_u(),
  none_u(), notall_u(), and one_u() functions returned an empty list in list
  context instead of undef. This is in direct opposition to the documentation
  which has always said that it returned undef. Note that the
  List::SomeUtils::XS code had the _correct_ behavior, so most users probably
  have never experienced this bug.

[IMPROVEMENTS]

* Fixed some doc issues. Closes #7.


0.57     2017-12-12 (TRIAL RELEASE)

[BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITY]

* Fixed a number of bugs in the handling of empty lists. The any_u(), all_u(),
  none_u(), notall_u(), and one_u() functions returned an empty list in list
  context instead of undef. This is in direct opposition to the documentation
  which has always said that it returned undef. Note that the
  List::SomeUtils::XS code had the _correct_ behavior, so most users probably
  have never experienced this bug.


0.56     2017-07-22

* Make sure we depend on the latest LSU::XS if the system support XS.


0.55     2017-07-22

* Fixed incorrect comments in doc examples for uniq().

* Added a new function, mode(), requested by Jerrad Pierce. GH #2.


0.54     2017-06-01

* Moved issue tracking to GitHub.


0.53     2016-08-14

* Replaced Exporter::Tiny with Exporter.


0.52     2016-05-06

* Updated to latest ExtUtils::HasCompiler and simplified dynamic
  prereqs. Patch by Karen Etheridge. GitHub #3.


0.51     2016-02-27

* No code changes. The last release was missing a Changes entry.


0.50    2016-02-27

* This is List::MoreUtils under a different name with fewer configure-time
  prereqs.

* The "import as old versions" feature present in LMU does not exist in this
  distribution.

0.33	2011-08-04

- Updated can_xs to fix a bug in it


0.32	2011-05-20

- Production release, no other changes


0.31_02	2011-03-21

- More accurate detection of XS support (ADAMK)


0.31_01	2011-03-21

- Updating copyright year (ADAMK)
- Teak documentation of all() and none() (WYANT)

- Memory leak fixed for indexes() and XS version restored (ARC)
- Memory leak fixed for part() and XS version restored (ARC)


0.30	2010-12-16

- Change the way we localise PERL_DL_NONLAZY to false to remove
  a warning that some people were seeing. The new approach is taken
  from the way that List::Util does it.


0.29	2010-12-08

- Removed an erroneous Test::NoWarnings dependency


0.28	2010-12-07

- Switching to a production release
- Restored the regression test for RT #38630 from 0.23.
  As apply() was disabled in 0.27_04 this test will only act
  to validate the future XS restoration of apply().
- Adding uniq warning tests, disabled initially


0.27_04	2010-12-06

- The behaviour of any/all/none/notall has changed when
  passed a null list to treat a null list as a legitimate list.
  Instead of returning C<undef> the functions now return the
  following: any {} == false, all {} == true, none {} == true,
  notall {} == false.
  Resolves #40905: Returning undef when none is passed an empty
- Disabled the leaking XS versions of part(), apply() and indexes()


0.27_03	2010-12-06

- General house cleaning


0.27_02	2010-12-01

- Reduced test suite peak memory consumption by 5-10 meg
- Added the 'distinct' alias for the uniq function, for people that
  like their chained map/grep/sort pipelines with a SQL'ish flavour.
- Expanded test suite for the any() group of functions.
- The any() group of functions now strictly always return scalar
  boolean true, false and undef to match the XS version.


0.27_01 2012-12-01

- Refactored the split test scripts into a common test module
  to be shared between both the Perl and XS versions.
- Reapply fix for http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39847
  "minmax error: unpredictable results with lists of 1 element"


0.26	2010-11-23

- No changes
- Some parts of the CPAN cloud were confusing my 0.24
  release with the older deleted 0.24. Bumping version
  past Tassilo's to clarify things.


0.24	2010-11-22

- No changes, switching to a production version


0.23_01	2010-09-25

- First attempt at repackaging the List::SomeUtils code in
  Makefile.PL and release toolchain similar to Params::Util


0.25_02	2009-08-01

- MS VC++ 7 doesn't like inline nor 'long long'
  (patch provided by Taro Nishino (taro DOT nishino AT gmail.com)
- Newx isbn't around in older perls so use New(0,...) instead


0.25_01	2009-07-30

- it seems the only way of handling the stack that works on all 
  flavors of the multicall API is by making a shallow copy of it
  and use that between the PUSH/POP_MULTICALL bracket
- fix awkward ok() override in List-SomeUtils.t so that it reports
  line numbers in test failures properly


0.24	2009-07-19

- List::SomeUtils was not handling the stack properly when the stack was grown
  from inside code-references
- a couple of tests for each_arrayref were calling each_array 


0.23	2009-04-19

- BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE:
  fixed: Returning undef when none is passed an empty array is counterintuitive
  (http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=40905)
- fixed: minmax error: unpredictable results with lists of 1 element 
  (http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39847)
- fixed: bug: uniq doesn't like undef values.
	     uniq warns on undef values
  (http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=37533)
  (http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=43214)
- fixed: bug in pairwise when $a and $b are lexically defined using my
  (http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=44518)
- fixed: Big memory leak with XS part()
  (http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41097)
- fixed: memory leak in indexes() [XS]
  (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=41494)
- reduced memory-requirements for the part() tests as that was responsible
  for a lot of unnecessary test-failures
- new function bsearch() which performs a binary search


0.22	2006-07-02

- SvPV_nolen doesn't exist on pre 5.6 perls


0.21	2006-06-18

- propagate dies from inside the code-reference of pairwise to 
  caller


0.20	2006-04-25

- part() would destroy the list elements when changing
  an array in place (@list = part { ... } @list)


0.19	2006-03-13

- working down myself the queue of suggestions:
  part() added
  (Ricardo SIGNES <rjbs AT cpan DOT org>)


0.18	2006-02-25

- each_arrayref (XS) couldn't deal with refs to list literals
  (brought up by David Filmer <usenet AT DavidFilmer DOT com>
   in comp.lang.perl.misc)


0.17	2005-12-07

- each_arrayref had no XS implementation and wasn't
  mentioned in the PODs
  (patch by Anno Siegel <siegel AT zrz DOT tu-berlin DOT de>)


0.16	2005-11-14

- a dangling semicolon in some macros prevented
  the XS portion to compile on some compilers
  (Lars Thegler <lars AT thegler DOT dk>)


0.15	2005-11-11

- 0.13 and 0.14 broke the module on 5.6.x
  (spotted by Thomas A. Lowery <tlowery AT cc3 DOT com>)
- internals changed to make use of the new MULTICALL API 
  which had to be backported to 5.005_x


0.14	2005-11-10

- 0.13 fixed the leaks but rendered the XS part uncompilable
  for perls < 5.6.0: Fixed
  (spotted by Lars Thegler <lars AT thegler DOT dk>)


0.13	2005-11-09

- nearly all functions receiving a CODE-block as first
  argument had a hefty memory-leak: Fixed
  (spotted by Thomas A. Lowery <tlowery AT cc3 DOT com>)

- first_index and each_arrayref weren't exportable
  (spotted by Darren Duncan)

  installed in the required minimum versions
  (thanks to Ricardo Signes <rjbs AT cpan DOT org>)


0.10	2005-04-01

- new function minmax() with comparisons in O(3n/2 - 2)
- some POD corrections (Adam Kennedy)
- POD- and POD-coverage tests


0.09	2004-12-04

- 0.08 only fixed uniq() for scalar context


0.08	2004-12-03

- uniq() was not mentioned in the perldocs and only had
  the XS implementation
- uniq() also produced wrong results on 5.8.0
  (thanks to Slaven Rezic for spotting it and suggesting
  a workaround)
- the test-suite triggered a bug in 5.6.x perls
- the test-suite now tests both the XS- and Perl-implementation
- a wrong example in the perldocs fixed (Ron Savage)


0.07	2004-12-01

- new functions:
  after, after_incl, before, before_incl, indexes
  lastval, firstval, pairwise, each_array, natatime,
  mesh (all from Eric J. Roodes' List::MoreUtil).


0.06	2004-11-14

0.05	2004-09-18

- merged in insert_after() and insert_after_string() from

- renamed to List::SomeUtils on suggestion by
  Steve Purkis <spurkis AT quiup DOT com>
